Analiza ponovne izvoljivosti županov v slovenskih občinah

Haček, Miro (author), Kukovič, Simona (author)

The proposed paper analyses the political careers of a key executive body in the Slovenian local government system - the mayor. The paperʼs starting point is incumbency advantage theories; they argue that the probability of electoral victory or defeat is not evenly distributed among the candidates as several factors influence the possibilities of the success of some candidates vis-à-vis others (seniority, membership in political parties, electoral performance etc.). Based on an analysis of objective data and data from an empirical survey conducted among mayors of Slovenian municipalities, we analyse the problem of the re-election of mayors in Slovenian local government with an emphasis on their seniority. We find that the re-election of mayors is a frequent occurrence in Slovenia, which is also strengthening with every local election.

Abstract

Prispevek analizira vprašanje politične kariere ključnega izvršilnega organa v slovenskem sistemu lokalne samouprave, tj. župana. Izhodišče prispevka so teorije, ki pojasnjujejo prednosti opravljanja dolžnosti uradnega položaja; te trdijo, da verjetnost zmage ali poraza na volitvah ni enakomerno porazdeljena med kandidate, ampak na možnosti uspeha pozitivno vpliva več dejavnikov (senioriteta, članstvo v politični stranki, volilni nastop). Na podlagi volilnih statistik in anketnega vprašalnika med župani slovenskih občin smo analizirali problematiko vnovične izvoljivosti (reelekcije) županov v slovenski lokalni samoupravi z vidika njihove senioritete. Ugotavljamo, da je v Sloveniji ponovna izvoljivost županov pogost pojav ter da se z vsakimi lokalnimi volitvami še povečuje.
