In the last two decades, however, an increasing number of studies have been dedicated to various manifestations of fascism in Eastern European countries. These have only occasionally included the territory of the former Yugoslavia. It was mainly due to the Croatian Ustaša movement that Yugoslavia received notice. To date, several monographs have appeared on the Ustaša. They have also covered various aspects of the socalled Independent State of Croatia. Interest in fascism and radical nationalism on Yugoslav territory grew after the inter-ethnic wars of the 1990s (Hory and Broszat 1964, Scotti 1976, MacDonald 2002). In the collection on fascism in Europe edited by S. J. Wolf in 1968, Yugoslavia was not mentioned at all, whereas P. F. Sugar’s collection three years later contained two papers on fascism in Yugoslavia (Wolf 1968, Sugar 1971). While some studies of fascism mention only the Ustaša movement, the most recent one by Sabrina P. Ramet, briefly present the emergence of fascist movements in other Yugoslav nations, cursorily treating the Slovenes as well (2006: 35–111). A number of otherwise excellent recent studies on Yugoslavia or the Balkans after 1930 (Cox 2007, Tomasevich 2001) concentrate on the Ustaša movement or its leader, Ante Pavelić. This holds true as well for the collection of scholarly papers about the Independent State of Croatia edited by Sabrina Ramet (2007).","PeriodicalId":82261,"journal":{"name":"Papers in Slovene studies","volume":"78 1","pages":"3-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77199031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The founding of Yugoslavia in itself did not represent a significant turning point in the ideological sense, and it is a fair assertion that the Slovene liberal mentality of the 1920s was an extension of pre-WW I Slovene liberalism. A true ideological turning point, however, was the Great Depression in the 1930s, which subjected liberal economic doctrine to an acid test, and not only in Slovenia. It is noteworthy that this period also witnessed considerable fragmentation of the liberal camp, both in the organizational and ideological spheres. This article examines the reasons for the decline of influence of Slovene economic liberalism as a consequence of the changed political, economic and social circumstances in the 1920s and especially in the 1930s.","PeriodicalId":82261,"journal":{"name":"Papers in Slovene studies","volume":"3 1","pages":"21-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72973998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On this view, a historian equipped with complete material evidence becomes a narrator who, as wordsmith, combines analysis and narration (Gay 1988). This view is not surprising, since past events, arranged on a time line, have an extra-literary basis that lends credibility to narration and analysis.","PeriodicalId":82261,"journal":{"name":"Papers in Slovene studies","volume":"11 1","pages":"51-61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75679663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In his paper, “Slovenes of Carinthia and Their Fight to Retain Their Identity With/Against Post-World War II Austrian Governments,” Matjaž Klemenčič provides insight into various kinds of the Carinthian Slovene identity constructions (Keupp at al. 1999) during recent decades.
