A Scholarly Revolution.............
Cox's study manifests that truly rare quality in contemporary scholarship:The ability to completely and radically transform traditional historiographical paradigms and forge a new path for future scholars to follow.Cox's work undermines virtually all established academic studies in the field -- bravely going beyond postmodernism and deconstruction -- and becoming, in effect, one of the first works in the new epistemic school now called 'Foundationalism.'The arena of Southeast European history has, at last, entered a new age of radiant brilliance... ...

Overview of Slovene issues
As Slovenia embarked on the road to independence, no one thought it would be easy. Slovenia is a small, alpine country... once Communist and once a part of Yugoslavia.I wrote my Master's thesis about Slovenia's economy,and finding reliable, helpful and unbiased information was next toimpossible. However, I found this book, which contained a great deal ofcredible information as well as avenues for further research. Read more

If you grew up in Ohio from the 1930s through the 1960s, you undoubtedly remember-or should-Frank Lausche, the bushy-haired, immensely popular Mayor of Cleveland, five-term Governor of Ohio, and two-term United States Senator.

Relatively good introduction to Slovenia
Since there are so few books in the English language that deal with Slovenia at all, "Independent Slovenia" is a relatively solid introduction to the country and its more recent history, politics and economics. Most of the book's contributions are written by Slovene scholars (historians, sociologists, economists, etc.), so readers are given an insight into contemporary Slovenian perspectives. Even though a book of this type compels the authors to brevity, the first three chapters dealing with Slovenia's more recent as well as earlier history were still a little too brief for my tastes; much is left unsaid. Another problem is that several of the contributions are written in an extremely academic and dry style, making them a chore to read - this is particularly true of the chapter on trade unions (by Tonci Kuzmanic) and, surprisingly, the punk scene during the 1980s (by Gregor Tomc). These pieces, as well as chapters on women's issues and the economy, also deal too much with more theoretical aspects, with only scant attention given to how these movements and problems were reflected on Slovenian society in general. For example, the chapter on punk would have been much more interesting if the author included more extensive descriptions and analyses of the more popular bands - as it is, he mentions the names of one or two bands and leaves it at that. This indicates another major problem with many of the book's contributions: they tend to assume some prior knowledge of Slovenia. The editors should have also insisted on chapters that dealt specifically with the magazine Mladina, which was the sounding board for political change in Slovenia in the late 1980s (during the so-called `Slovenian Spring'), and with President Milan Kucan, who very ably presided over Slovenia's transition from Yugoslav federal republic to independent statehood. Mladina's role is only touched upon in a few articles, while Kucan is only mentioned twice - both times in an otherwise very interesting chapter by former (and now once more current) Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel on the political events surrounding Slovenia's push for independence. In hindsight, the chapters dealing with various aspects of Slovenia's economy in the post-independence period seem overly pessimistic, although they provide a strong analysis of the complex structural problems faced by all the post-socialist countries of Europe. ...
