2. The LEADER approach - new development opportunity for rural areas in SloveniaTomaž Cunder, Matej Bedrač, 2010, original scientific article Abstract: Integrated rural development programmes, which are prepared with the active involvement of local citizens, have a long tradition in Slovenia. In the period 1991-2006, Slovenia introduced “Programmes of Integrated Rural Development and Village Renewal” and “Development Programmes for Rural Areas”, which were quite similar to the LEADER initiative in the European Union. From the 2007-2013 programming period, the LEADER approach has been mainstreamed within the overall EU rural development policy. This means that LEADER is included in national and regional rural development programmes supported by the EU, alongside a range of other rural development axes. The main emphasis of the current paper is given to the implementation of the LEADER approach and establishment of local action groups in the 2007-2013 programming period. The paper consists of three parts. The first part presents the general characteristics of the LEADER approach and the measures which are carried out in the 2007-2013 Rural Development Programme. In the second part, an analysis of 33 Local Action Groups is described. The main focus is given to spatial-demographic characteristics, the partnership structure, and the organisation of the decision making body. The paper concludes with an analysis of 33 Local Development Strategies. We analysed the extent to which the strategic goals and priority tasks of Local Development Strategies follow the economic, social and spatial-environmental component of sustainable development.

3. Heritage trails through Dolenjska and Bela Krajina in Slovenia : a multi-stakeholder approach to tourism developmentMarko Koščak, 2016, review article Abstract: One of the crucial methodologies for growing and developing a level of tourism which is sustainable and enhances the totality of local and regional environments is a multi-stakeholder approach to tourism development. In this paper, we present the case of the 'Heritage trails through Dolenjska and Bela krajina in SE Slovenia' in which sustainable rural development (we take this to include cultural & heritage, vinicultural & gastronomic, as well as ecological tourism) is one of the key elements of the integral mix of business economy, viz. development of the region in the SE of Slovenia. The integral approach showed from the very beginning of project activities, within the Novo Mesto chamber of commerce, its long-time implementation until the present, as one of the key products within the tourist destination of Dolenjska, Bela Krajina and Kočevsko-Ribniška. It takes an integrated approach in terms of start-up, implementation and development and is supported by and benefits from the notion of a core of multiple stakeholders. Keywords: Slovenia, multi-stakeholder approach, partnership, Integrated project Heritage Trail Dolenjska & Bela krajina, sustainable tourism Published in DKUM: 03.08.2017; Views: 1335; Downloads: 174

4. Partnerstvo z omejeno odgovornostjo v statusnem pravu Anglije in WalesaSabina Kulić, 2016, master's thesis/paper Abstract: Predstavitev statusne oblike partnerstvo z omejeno odgovornostjo, limited liability partnership, LLP kot se je leta 2001 pojavilo v Angliji in Walesu, nato pa razširilo še v Azijo. Omenjeno statusno obliko bi najlažje opisali kot hibrid med družbo z omejeno odgovornostjo in družbo z neomejeno odgovornostjo. Zaradi različnih razvojnih tokov je ta statusna oblika na različnih koncih sveta dobila različne oblike. V splošnem bi lahko govorili o ameriškem in angleškem modelu. V magistrskem delu sem se posvetila angleškemu modelu. Posebnost partnerstva z omejeno odgovornostjo sem poskušala ponazoriti s primerjavo s statusnimi oblikami, ki so slovenskemu pravu bolj domače: družbo z omejeno odgovornostjo, komanditno družbo in general partnership, ki je osebna družba, podobna družbi z neomejeno odgovornostjo. Drugi del naloge je namenjen primerjavi angleškega modela z ameriškim in pojavom različic teh modelov v azijskih državah. S primerjavo in analizo sem potrdila hipotezo da je LLP kot se je pojavilo v Angliji in Walesu leta 2001 originalna oblika, po kateri so povzemale številne države. Druge hipoteze, da je LLP najugodnejša oblika za opravljanje posla z namenom dobička, zaradi prevelikega števila dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na izbiro statusne oblike, ni bilo mogoče potrditi.
