Velikih pet naslovnica 2010V knjigi je prvič na enem mestu in na podlagi primarnih virov predstavljena politika petih zmagovitih velesil do nastanka jugoslovanske države. Študije temeljijo na arhivskem gradivu iz Pariza, Londona, Washingtona, Rima, Tokia, Beograda, Ljubljane in Maribora. Večina arhivskega gradiva je bila doslej v historiografiji še neznana, zato knjiga ne pomeni samo obogatitve slovenske in jugoslovanske diplomatske zgodovine, ampak bo v marsičem dopolnila dosedanje poznavanje politike velesil do Balkana v času nastajanja versajskega sistema.
Za generacijo ustvarjalcev jugoslovanske države je bila Avstro-Ogrska, iz katere so izšli, Slovencem tuja država. Kot je leta 1922 zapisal duhovnik, politik in pisatelj Fran Saleški Finžgar naj bi bili Slovenci dobili svojo šele z nastankom Kraljevine SHS. Paradoksalno so se po enem od pričevanj nad trodelnim imenom nove države navduševali tudi nekateri nekoč najbolj antisrbsko usmerjeni hrvaški politiki. Bolj kot romantično zveneča »Jugoslavija« jih je zanimalo dejstvo, da je »hrvaško ime tedaj vstopilo v diplomatsko terminologijo«. Tudi če pustimo ob strani nesporazum, ko so pisci Versajske pogodbe v zadnji verziji ob zapisu imena nove države »Slovenijo« (Slovénie) pomotoma zamenjali za Slavonijo (Slavonie), se lahko strinjamo z ugotovitvijo, da je bil eden glavnih ciljev jugoslovanske delegacije – mednarodno priznanje – izpolnjen. Zaradi nasprotovanja Italije, ki je spretno iskala razne načine, kako že ob njenem rojstvu čimbolj ohromiti delovanje nove države, so se namreč prav glede statusa delegacije, ki je v Parizu sprva delovala v imenu »Kraljevine Srbije«, med velesilami močno kresala mnenja. Dokler ni vse skupaj presekal kdo drug kot Wilson. Manj uspešen je bil ameriški predsednik pri podpiranju jugoslovanskih zahtev glede meja bodoče države, kar so na svoji koži najbolj izkusili prav Slovenci.

Zunanja politika – Osnove teorije in praksa (Foreign Policy – Basic Theory and Practice)
2010 / 509 pages / ISBN 978-961-92839-2-9
Price: 45 €
“The book by Dr. Ernest Petrič on the theory and practice of foreign policy is a fitting opener to a new series in the collection Studia diplomatic Slovenica dedicated to monographs on international relations. It is the first work by a Slovenian author dealing systematically in monograph form with the dilemmas of foreign policy as a science. What gives Dr. Petrič an important edge is not only his painstaking theoretical analysis but also his extensive diplomatic experience. Starting his career in the former common state, he has capped it with key positions in Slovenia’s diplomatic network since independence, making his views on contemporary diplomatic practice invaluable.
This extensive work, which has been divided into five sections, presents both the author’s broader understanding of the theory behind international relations and foreign policy as well as an analysis of cases of actual conduct in the international community, primarily that concerning the policies of “small and new states” such as the Republic of Slovenia. In his examination of this science, Dr. Petrič tackles with utmost precision definitions of numerous basic concepts of foreign policy, making this book particularly useful for the growing number of students of international relations in Slovenia. Fittingly, the author is currently active as a lecturer at three of the four faculties teaching the subject in Slovenia at the time of writing.
