Na podlagi analize proračunskih podatkov, preusmeritve naftnih tokov in logističnih pri- lagoditev avtor ugotavlja, da sankcije niso ustavile ruskega naftnega izvoza, so pa bistveno zmanjšale proračunske prihodke. Soočen s strukturnim razhajanjem med rastočimi vojaškimi izdatki in omejeno naftno rento, je Kremelj sprejel strateško odločitev za prioritiziranje vojaških ciljev ne glede na politične in gospodarske posledice. Rezultati kažejo, da prehod v vojno ekonomijo, podprt z davčnimi reformami in krčenjem civilnih investicij, omogoča kratko- ročno financiranje vojaških operacij, dolgoročno pa vodi v gospodarsko nazadovanje.</p> Denis Mancevič Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-06-18 2026-06-18 36 1 1 12 10.19233/ASHS.2026.01 The Significance of Reflexivity in the Framework of Wider Societal Trends and Cycles https://publ.zdjp.si/index.php/ashs/article/view/414 <p>The article analyses the decline of reflexivity in Slovenia based on four waves of a national survey conducted between 2018 and 2024. The findings reveal a consistent reduction in reflexivity levels, contradicting the linear expectations of modernisation trends of individualisation, universalisation, structural differentiation, and rationalisation. Instead, the results suggest growing instability within prevailing cultural frameworks and value systems, indicating a shift away from individualistic and materialistic orientations. These trends imply that social change may be better understood through cyclical rather than linear models, reflecting generational replace- ment or broader transformations in the cultural foundations of late modern societies.</p> Tea Golob Matej Makarovič Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-06-18 2026-06-18 36 1 13 28 10.19233/ASHS.2026.02 The Nationalisation of History in Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav Medieval History Textbooks https://publ.zdjp.si/index.php/ashs/article/view/415 <p>Elementary-school history textbooks dealing with the Middle Ages in Yugoslav (1945–1991) and post-Yugo- slav republics were examined, with a focus on the history of each republic or state. The treatment of medieval domestic history was compared both across contexts and over time. Our interest lay in the nationalisation of history, which can also generate contradictions among textbooks. Such contradictions may concern claims to territories, historical figures, peoples and events; however, we did not examine possible portrayals of golden ages. Contradictory claims were already present within socialist Yugoslavia, not only after its dissolution, when the successor states enthusiastically pursued their nation-building projects.</p> Sergej Flere Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-03-30 2026-03-30 36 1 29 40 10.19233/ASHS.2026.03 Flat Drystone Architecture in the Adriatic Basin https://publ.zdjp.si/index.php/ashs/article/view/416 <p>This article examines flat drystone architecture in the Adriatic basin, focusing on low constructions and spatial shelters as former elements of pastoral economy. It describes shelter construction through the false dome and corbelling, using unshaped, found, broken, or rarely dressed stone. The study analyses how stone type affects architectural form, comparing regular structures such as the Istrian kažun with underground casitas of the Trieste Karst. It identifies walls, wells, ice huts, threshing floors, and sheep-fold systems as key forms, inter- preting their roles in ownership division, animal movement, grazing protection, water access, cereal threshing, ice storage, and cultural landscape formation.</p> Borut Juvanec Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-03-30 2026-03-30 36 1 41 58 10.19233/ASHS.2026.04 Plemićki gradovi u zaštićenim prirodnim područjima nacionalnih parkova i parkova prirode Republike Hrvatske https://publ.zdjp.si/index.php/ashs/article/view/418 <p>Medieval castles (burgs) are fortified seats of feudal lords, inseparable from their natural surroundings. Today, this relationship is often disrupted; therefore, their conservation and enhancement require not only protection of the built fabric but also preservation of the historical setting, in line with integrated protection that links conservation to spatial planning. Protected natural areas enable the integrated approach to the joint consideration and planning of cultural and natural heritage. This study investigates twenty-five medieval castles in four national parks and two nature parks. The results confirm the hypothesis that protected natural areas positively affect the preservation of medieval castles while enhancing both natural and cultural heritage.</p> Marin Duić Marko Rukavina Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-03-30 2026-03-30 36 1 59 82 10.19233/ASHS.2026.05 Eksperiment srednjeveškega modernizma https://publ.zdjp.si/index.php/ashs/article/view/419 <p>Članek reinterpretira modernizem v arhitekturi, ga razume širše kot zgolj gibanje v 20. stoletju, in sicer kot ponavljajoče se prelomne trenutke skozi zgodovino arhitekture. Kot primer takšnega razumevanja modernizma analizira gotsko arhitekturo. Osredotoča se na gotski konstrukcijski eksperiment, ki je omogočil prehod k vitkemu skeletu. Metoda dela je zgodovinska analiza razvoja gotske konstrukcije. Rezultati kažejo, da so srednjeveški gra- ditelji z iterativnim eksperimentiranjem v merilu 1 : 1, intuicijo in modularnostjo razvili inovativen konstrukcijski sistem. Gotska arhitektura ponuja dragocene lekcije za sodobno prakso glede inovacij v negotovih razmerah.</p> Luka Pulević Simon Petrovčič Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-03-30 2026-03-30 36 1 83 108 10.19233/ASHS.2026.06 Garnizon jugoslavenske narodne armije i razvoj masovnog turizma u Gradu Puli od 1965. do 1990. https://publ.zdjp.si/index.php/ashs/article/view/420 <p>This paper explores the relationship between the Yugoslav People‘s Army (YPA) garrison in Pula and the growth of mass tourism from 1965 to 1990. Although the military occupied a quarter of the city, tourism expanded as the YPA ceded southern coastal areas for development. Despite occasional friction between military patrols and visitors, the garrison significantly boosted the local economy. Army personnel utilized city amenities, while quarterly swearing-in ceremonies drew thousands of visitors, substantially increasing domestic overnight stays. This unique synergy helped Pula become Croatia‘s fifth-ranked tourist destination by the end of the period.</p> Nikola Vojnović Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-03-30 2026-03-30 36 1 109 124 10.19233/ASHS.2026.07 Literarne poti kot orodje ohranjanja dediščine in razvoja turizma https://publ.zdjp.si/index.php/ashs/article/view/421 <p>Literarna dediščina je v času naraščajoče globalizacije postala priljubljeno orodje krepitve podobe desti- nacije in kakovosti turističnih doživetij, saj služi številnim funkcijam, vključno s spodbujanjem gospodarskega razvoja, izobraževanja in kritičnega razmišljanja. Raziskovalci in snovalci turizma pri doseganju trajnostnega razvoja podpirajo vključevanje literarnih poti v turistično ponudbo in poudarjajo vlogo sodelovalnega pristopa »od spodaj navzgor«. Literarne poti na destinacijah so postale orodje za preusmerjanje turistov, podaljševanje turistične sezone in za oblikovanje obogatenih turističnih doživetij, s čimer povečujejo njihovo privlačnost in prihodke. Raziskava analizira pomen tematske poti Dragotina Ketteja, ki povezuje Prem, pesnikov rojstni kraj, s Trnovim, krajem pesnikovega počitnikovanja, skozi posthumanistično paradigmo, ki poudarja trajnost, etičnost, povezovanje in vključenost lokalnega prebivalstva.</p> Jasna Potočnik Topler Aneja Rože Kravanja Mateja Kregar Gliha Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-03-30 2026-03-30 36 1 125 144 10.19233/ASHS.2026.08 Dante Alighieri nel contesto storico-culturale del Montenegro a cavallo tra XIX e XX secolo https://publ.zdjp.si/index.php/ashs/article/view/422 <p>L’obiettivo di questo articolo è analizzare, in una cornice storico-culturale, le principali tendenze legate all’introduzione delle influenze culturali e letterarie europee nella tradizione montenegrina a cavallo tra il XIX e il XX secolo, epoca fortemente orientata al folklore patriottico-nazionale e caratterizzata da una marcata chiusura nei confronti degli influssi esterni. Particolare attenzione sarà riservata alla cultura italiana, considerata il paradigma più prossimo del modello culturale occidentale e con una tradizione plurisecolare in Montenegro, prendendo come modello la figura di Dante Alighieri, autore canonico della letteratura occidentale e simbolo dell’unità politica, linguistica e culturale d’Italia. L’analisi si soffermerà, infine, su come tali tendenze culturali straniere abbiano potuto contribuire a una trasformazione sia dell’ambiente socio-culturale in cui si manifesta- vano, sia dei canoni culturali e letterari precedentemente consolidati nella cultura d’arrivo.</p> Marko Vukčević Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-03-30 2026-03-30 36 1 145 160 10.19233/ASHS.2026.09
