Modeli oblikovanja koalicij in koalicijskih vlad v Sloveniji

Zajc, Drago (author)

Brez dobrega poznavanja oblikovanja strankarskih koalicij in oblikovanja koalicijskih vlad ne moremo dobro razumeti niti delovanja izvršilne oblasti niti celote razmerij med parlamentom in vlado, ki pogojujejo stabilnost celotnega političnega sistema. Podatki iz nekaterih prejšnjih raziskav v evropskem prostoru kažejo, da so bile koalicijske vlade, sestavljene iz programsko sorodnih strank, ki so imele dejanske skupne cilje in bile dobro vodene, bolj stabilne. Prispevek analizira oblikovanje koalicij in koalicijskih v Sloveniji od l. 1989 dalje in ugotavlja, da so bili načini njihovega oblikovanja odvisni od posebnosti prehoda v demokracijo, tranzicije in konsolidacije demokracije. Kljub določenim razlikam, ki se pripisujejo velikim nasprotjem (cleavageom) v slovenski družbi, prispevek potrjuje splošne predpostavke oblikovanja koalicij v modernih parlamentarnih demokracijah glede njihovega obsega, smotrov in vodenja. Kljub temu, da lahko pomen notranjih pravil (koalicijskih sporazumov) različno ocenjujemo, je bil pomen institucionalnih pravil gotovo najpomembnejši, vključno z načinom oblikovanja vlade in sredstvi nadzora (konstruktivna nezaupnica). Koalicije so kljub pomanjkanju koalicijskega potenciala in občasni nestabilnosti pomembno pripomogle k doseganju pomembnih nacionalnih ciljev in iskanju odgovorov na nova razvojna vprašanja. Prispevek ponuja hipoteze za komparativno proučevanje oblikovanja, trajanja in prenehanja koalicijskih vlad v srednji Evropi.

Abstract

Without understanding the process of the forming of political coalitions and making coalitional governments one cannot understand the functioning of the executive and the relationship between the parliament and the government. That is why within political science a scientific approach to coalitional dynamics was necessary and formal coalitional theories were devised. The paper seeks to present the coalitional models used in the new democratic state of Slovenia and the stability of its coalitional governments in the 1989-2008 period. It paints a picture of specific internal and external (international) factors having influenced their formation (democratisation and independence, joining the EU, NATO etc.). While there are different evaluations of the importance of the various coalitional contracts, it is clear that specific institutional rules have contributed to the relative stability of Slovenian coalitional governments, like the procedures of government formation and instruments of control (constructive no-confidence vote) etc. Regardless of their different compositions and the varying capacities of their leadership, it is contended that coalitions have succeeded in finding common positions with the opposition in all important matters of national interest and to provide answers to the dilemmas of development.
