Abstract

This chapter presents the basic characteristics of the Slovenian economy. A discussion of its historical development since early industrialization is followed by a presentation of the importance of the interconnection between social and economic development after the Second World War, when the communist authorities perceived industry as the chief driver of development and hence industrial development became an important part of social and spatial planning. After Slovenia’s independence, deindustrialization and tertiarization came to the fore, thoroughly transforming the country’s economic structure. After transition into a postindustrial society, the previously predominating secondary sector now employs less than a third of the workforce, and the service sector employs more than two-thirds (67.2%). The chapter continues by presenting the international embeddedness of the Slovenian economy, the features of rapidly growing tourism in Slovenia, and the role of part-time farms.
