Relation between the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia and the Government of the Republic of Slovenia

V diplomskem delu je bilo obravnavano razmerje med državnim zborom in vlado Republike Slovenije. Državni zbor v Republiki Sloveniji predstavlja nosilca zakonodajne oblasti, vlada Republike Slovenije pa je eden izmed nosilcev izvršne oblasti. Na podlagi delitve oblasti, ki je opredeljena tudi v Ustavi Republike Slovenije, naj bi bili omenjeni veji oblasti ločeni, njuno razmerje pa uravnavajo mehanizmi ravnovesij in zavor, ki so prav tako opredeljeni v Ustavi. Uporabljeni mehanizmi naj bi zagotavljali stabilnost političnega sistema in preprečevali preveliko koncentracijo moči v enem političnem organu ter zlorabo te moči. Statistična in partikularna obravnava podatkov o uporabi teh mehanizmov je pokazala nizko uspešnost uporabe mehanizmov. Mehanizmi so se poleg osnovnega namena nadzora uporabljali tudi za promocijo političnih strank, pridobivanje političnega vpliva in merjenje moči med političnimi strankami in njihovimi predstavniki. V bistvu se mehanizmi ravnovesij in zavor uporabljajo za dokazovanje in pridobivanje politične moči, ravno nasprotno prvotnemu namenu. Vseeno v večini mandatov mehanizmi niso ogrozili stabilnosti političnega sistema.This graduation thesis focuses on the relationship between the National Assembly and the Government of the Republic of Slovenia. The National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia represents the legislative branch, whereas the Government of the Republic of Slovenia is a part of the executive branch. Based on the separation of powers, also defined in the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia, the aforementioned branches shall be separated, whereas their relationship shall be governed by a mechanism of checks and balances, also defined in the Constitution. The applied mechanisms are supposed to guarantee the stability of the political system and prevent a too dense concentration of power in one authority, as well as any abuse of such power. Statistical and particular processing of data on the application of those mechanisms has shown little success in the application of the mechanisms. Beside their fundamental control function, the mechanisms have also been used for the promotion of political parties, gaining political influence, as well as measuring power among political parties and their representatives. The mechanism of checks and balances is actually used to demonstrate and gain political power, e.g. the exact opposite of its primary function. Despite it all, the mechanisms did not endanger the stability of the political system during most terms
