The paper aims to analyse the relationship between the legislative (municipal council) and executive (mayor, deputy mayor) branches of power in the Slovenian system of local self-government. In the centre lies the role of the mayor, the role of the director of the municipal administration and the role of the municipal council together with the relationship (which has changed significantly in the past two decades) between the mayor and these two bodies. The theoretical anchor of the contribution is the work of Mouritzen and Svara (2002) where the authors categorise ideal models of executive government at the sub-national levels of government and the relations inside the executive. Based on previous empirical research studies, we analyse the functioning of the executive and legislative branches of power and their mutual relations, starting from the assumption that those relations do not correspond to the quite rigidly defined normative frameworks, but in practice often move beyond them. Prispevek analizira odnose med organi oblasti v zakonodajni (občinski svet) in izvršilni (župan, podžupan) veji oblasti v slovenskem sistemu lokalne samouprave. Pri tem v ospredje postavlja vloge župana, direktorja občinske uprave in občinskega sveta ter odnos župana do obeh slednjih organov, ki se je v zadnjih dveh desetletjih močno spremenil. Teoretično izhodišče prispevka je kategorizacija Mouritzena in Svare (2002), ki sta oblikovala idealne modele izvršilne oblasti na subnacionalni ravni oblasti ter odnose znotraj le-teh. Na podlagi dosedanjih empiričnih raziskav bomo analizirali delovanje organov izvršilne in zakonodajne veje oblasti ter njihove medsebojne odnose,pri tem pa izhajali iz predpostavke, da odnosi ne ustrezajo precej togo določenim normativnim okvirom, ampak jih v praksi pogosto presegajo. |
