Since 2010 the European Union has been plagued by crises of democracy and the rule of law, which have been spreading from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), catching many by surprise. This book argues that the professed success of the 2004 big bang enlargement mirrored the Potemkin villages erected in the new Member States on their accession to Europe. Slovenia is a prime example. Since its independence and throughout the accession process, Slovenia has been portrayed as the poster child of the 'New Europe'. This book claims that the widely shared narrative of the Slovenian EU dream is a myth. In many ways, Slovenia has fared even worse than its contemporary, constitutionally-backsliding, CEE counterparts. The book's discussion of the depth and breadth of the democratic crises in Slovenia should contribute to a critical intellectual awakening and better comprehension of the real causes of the present crises across the other CEE Member States, which threaten the viability of the EU and Council of Europe projects. It is only on the basis of this improved understanding that the crises can be appropriately addressed at national, transnational and supranational levels.
Monografija Ovčja vas in njena slovenska govorica pomembno doprinaša k opisu slovenskih govorov Kanalske doline in odstira »živost« slovenskega jezika na skrajnem severozahodnem robu slovenskega etničnega ozemlja. Pri njenem nastajanju so združili moči domačini in raziskovalci različnih znanstvenoraziskovalnih ustanov, goriške in videmske univerze, Univerze v Ljubljani, Univerze na Primorskem in Inštituta za slovenski jezik Frana Ramovša pri ZRC SAZU.
V knjigi Brede Pogorelec Sociolingvistični spisi je dokumentirano skoraj štiridesetletno profesoričino spremljanje, raziskovalno premišljevanje in usmerjanje slovenske jezikovne situacije in jezikoslovne dejavnosti. In čeprav bo od profesoričine smrti (2006) kmalu minilo že dvajset let, je njena misel presenetljivo (za tiste, ki njenega dela ne poznajo; za njene učence in učenke pač ne) sveža in aktualna še danes. Ducat razprav, šest strokovnih besedil drugih žanrov in daljši avtobiografski zapis Črni optimizem ponujajo po eni strani raznoliko branje, po drugi pa, prvič zbrani na enem mestu, zaokrožen, poglobljen ter kritičen pogled na slovenščino in slovensko jezikovno skupnost, posebej na področja zvrstnosti, jezikov v stiku ter jezikovnega načrtovanja in jezikovne politike.
