Environmental Security: A Case of Slovenia

Abstract

This chapter presents a case study of environmental security in Slovenia. The analysis revealed that at the declarative level the environmental security gained a lot of momentum in Slovenia, and existential argument on the relationship between security and environment is more than evident in public attitudes and official documents. However, in practice there are still many environmental problems and a brief analysis of civilian and military surroundings proved the introductory assumption. It seems that environmental issues in Slovenia still have a useful mobilization effect for the political elite and civil society.
