Description

The article presents the historical development of the Kočevje region in light of political experimentation from the Second World War to present day. The core of the empirical study is the period between 1991 and 2021, when the Kočevje region confronted economic decline and social turmoil, which were a consequence of past political decisions. We studied the available literature and statistical data and conducted ten interviews with key local stakeholders, based on which we then identified three periods of the contemporary development of the Kočevje region. The post-independence transition (1991–2010) marked the destruction of industrial companies, the non-responsiveness of the local environment, and the overall stagnation in development. The establishment of new local government (after 2010) brought about a developmental shift, the economic revival, and a change in mentality. The current period (after 2016), on the other hand, represents the arrival of an established international company and an improvement in the external image of the Kočevje region.

      • Članek predstavlja zgodovinski razvoj Kočevskega v luči političnega eksperimentiranja od druge svetovne vojne do danes. Jedro empiričnega preučevanja je bilo obdobje 1991–2021, ko se Kočevsko sooči z gospodarskim zatonom in družbenimi pretresi, ki so posledica preteklih političnih odločitev. Preučili smo razpoložljivo literaturo in statistične podatke ter izvedli deset intervjujev s ključnimi lokalnimi deležniki, na podlagi katerih smo izluščili tri obdobja sodobnega razvoja Kočevskega. Poosamosvojitveni prehod (1991–2010) označuje propad industrijskih podjetij, neodzivnost lokalnega okolja in vsesplošno razvojno nazadovanje. Vzpostavitev nove lokalne oblasti (po 2010) je prinesla razvojni zasuk, oživljanje gospodarstva in spremembo miselnosti. Še trajajoče obdobje (po 2016) pa pomeni prihod uveljavljenega mednarodnega podjetja in izboljšanje zunanje podobe Kočevskega.
