Abstract
The paper addresses the legal, organisational, economic, and financial aspects of local public services development in Slovenia in the last two decades. Since both economic and social local public services are taken into account, the research question is focused on main variations in the development and current status of those two categories. The evidence indicates that public services at the local level have undergone substantial changes in the past two decades, and it is clear that legal provisions, although not without problems, are better tailored for economic public services than for social public services, which are also subject to larger variation in the sources of financing. Nevertheless, current development also suggests that ongoing changes in local public service delivery mechanisms
and organisational forms are occurring, which favours additional service- and sector-specific research.
