TOWARD THE DOMINANCE OF THE EXECUTIVE

Sažetak

This article examines the recent processes of globalization and (within this framework) Europeanization, with a focus on the changes in national political Systems (particularly in post-communist EU member states) due to the pressures of these processes. The main thesis is that national executives have been gaining power in relation to the legislative due to international pressures. The international financial and economic crisis has added to this trend as countries become more financially dependent on International centers of power which demand efficient economic liberalization from national executives as a precondition for the required international loans. The case study of Slovenia is presented from a comparative perspective (in some aspects being a deviant case) so as to offer new theoretical insights into the mechanisms of strengthening the national executives.
