The dissertation deals comprehensively with the basic legal regulations of sport in the Republic of Slovenia. The theoretical structure of the dissertation is based on the presentation of legal theories about the emergence of legal rules and their hierarchical relationship, which in society regulate the mutual relations of people in broader or narrower social groups. In order to satisfy their own needs or interests, they join various associations, such as sports, within which they regulate the manner of behavior and conduct with their own legal rules to protect the values that led to the formation of a social group. Adherence to and realization of these values is crucial to the long-term existence of a social group. Because of the diversity of mutual relations, the study emphasizes the theory of legal pluralism and the theory of social groups.
The practical analysis of the legal norms regulating sport in the Republic of Slovenia is based on the value-interest concept of the legal norm and the nature of the relationship it regulates. Thus, the theoretical part is practically upgraded in the second part with a value-based analysis of individual legal articles of the valid Sport Act and an interest analysis of its creation. In connection with this, the influence of formal and informal social groups was influenced and presented, which influenced the formation of the law from the stage of preparation of the draft law, deliberation of the draft in the legislative process to the adoption of the law in the National Assembly. To illustrate the conflict of interest between the interest of sport and the wider society or public interest, the tension between autonomous legal rules of sport and legal rules of the state is highlighted by showing examples of state legal intervention in autonomous areas.
The value-interest struggle between legal rules that may have different origins or belong to different systems of rules and regulate a particular area of society, such as sport, is also shown.
Particular emphasis is placed on the areas of sport regulation at the local level and within sport organizations. Both areas are usually regulated by their autonomy. Therefore, for a comprehensive overview of the organization of sport in the Republic of Slovenia, the organization of sport at the local level and within autonomous sport organizations operating in the Republic of Slovenia will be presented separately. In order to place the Slovenian model of sport regulation in the wider European area, a comparative analysis of sport regulation models in Slovenia, Serbia, Switzerland and United Kingdom was carried out.
The dissertation thus comprehensively analyzes the field of legal regulation of sport in the Republic of Slovenia. On the theoretical basis of the legal and sociological theories, the thesis complements the theoretical study of the legal regulations of sport.
