Abstract The article focuses on the interconnectedness of foreign policy environments to explain Slovenia’s opportunities and constraints for foreign policy action. During the period of pre-independence para-diplomacy, the building of an internal and external domestic environment successfully turned constraints (no international recognition) into opportunities (applying for membership of European and global intergovernmental organizations). In the second period - post-recognition - considering the absence of a strategic foreign policy document, the Slovenian internal foreign policy environment became a major constraint to seize foreign environment opportunities. This affected Slovenia’s accomplishments, notably after NATO and EU memberships were achieved in 2004. Although the Slovenian internal environment matured during the following period to adopt, in 2015, a comprehensive foreign policy strategy the recent turn in world politics (especially the European financial and economic crisis and the migration crisis) created for the first time a foreign environment for Slovenia that offered many fewer opportunities and far more constraints.

斯洛文尼亚的外交政策机遇与制约因素：外交政策环境相互作用的分析

摘要本文着眼于外交政策环境的相互联系，以解释斯洛文尼亚的外交政策行动的机遇和制约因素。在独立前准外交时期，建立内部和外部国内环境成功地将制约因素（没有国际认可）转变为机会（申请欧洲和全球政府间组织的成员资格）。在第二阶段-承认后阶段-考虑到缺乏战略性外交政策文件，斯洛文尼亚内部外交政策环境成为抓住外国环境机会的主要障碍。这影响了斯洛文尼亚的成就，尤其是在2004年获得北约和欧盟成员之后。
