...CHAPTER 01 INTRODUCTION 1.1. BACKGROUND Just twenty years ago, the dismantling of Cold War division in Europe began with parliamentary changes in Poland (Bochniarz and Cohen 2006). These changes initiated a domino effect in transformation of other Central and Eastern European countries (CEE); the transformation of Romania, East Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Bulgaria was soon followed by sweeping changes in Russia and Central Asia, affecting more than 400 million people (Chandler 2000). Needless to say, however, the transformation of Central and Eastern Europe near the climax of the 80s took the European Community (EC) by surprise. In the pre1989 era, the EC exercised only a limited relationship with CEE countries and showed no serious interest for a European project of political and economic integration that would include any of the CEE states. According to Gower (1999), this inability to foresee the potential of the CEE region strongly reflects the ineffectiveness in the EC policies. Shortly after transition to democracy, ten CEE states (Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia) declared their utmost desire to join the “family of Europe” (Andonova 2004). As the idea of EU membership for these newly independent democracies in Central and Eastern Europe started to gain some serious ground in the early 90s, the debate over enlargement and its economic, social and The first chapter is like a long foreword...

...Summary: The article focuses on the analysis of the similarities and differences of the internationalization processes and strategies among Norwegian and Lithuanian SMEs (small and medium sized enterprises). Therefore R. Korsakiene and M. Tvaronaviciene mention some general internationalization models and theories of SMEs like the stage approach, foreign direct investment theory or the network approach. The following chapter describes the link between internationalization and entrepreneurship which leads to a definition of international entrepreneurship as “the discovery, evaluation, and explotion of opportunities across national borders” (McDougall, Oviatt 2005). Afterwards the authors introduce different motives and barriers of internationalization as well as factors that influence the foreign market selection and modes of entering new markets. To prove the stated characteristics the authors did a study using questionnairs which were sent to firms in Lithuania and Norway. As a result the authors get insights which internal and external motives and barriers as well as foreign market selection criterias and operational modes are most relevant for Norwegian and Lithuanian SMEs. There were many similarities among both countries like the “small domestic market” as a motive to expand their operations toward foreign markets as well as too much bureaucrarcy as one of the main barriers to enter new markets. On the other hand the authors found also differences, especially when it comes...

...Working Time Around the World John Maynard Keynes once made the bold prediction that the three-hour work day would prevail for his grandchildren’s generation. Seventy years later, the question of working time is as pertinent as it was at the inception of the 40-hour week. Not until now, however, has there been a global comparative analysis of working time laws, policies and actual working hours. Despite a century-long optimism about reduced working hours and some progress in legal measures limiting working hours, this book demonstrates that differences in actual working hours between industrialized and developing countries remain considerable – without any clear sign of hours being reduced. This study aims to offer some suggestions about how this gap can begin to be closed. Lee, McCann and Messenger trace the theoretical background of the concept of working time before examining recent trends in working time laws in developing countries and countries in transition. The study then shifts its focus to developments in selected countries, considering both broad trends in working time at a national level and the structure and dynamics underlying these trends. The authors provide a remarkable set of policy suggestions that preserve health and safety, are ‘family-friendly’, promote gender equality, enhance productivity and facilitate workers’ choice and influence over their working hours. This book will be of great interest to policy-makers engaged with working conditions or health...

...Republic of the Philippines Department of Education Region VII, Central Visayas Division of Lapu-Lapu City Marigondon National High School THE EFFECTIVENESS OF IMPLEMENTING RULES IN DEALING WITH ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS AMONG SELECTED MNHS STUDENTS TO PREVENT TEENAGE PREGNANCY CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM: RATIONALE AND BACKGROUND Rationale In the breakthrough of modern age, people have become less disciplined and liberated. Our youth, which is supposed to be the future of our society, have become wayward into the wrong path. They are engaged in criminal activities, vices, dangerous groups and etc. Right now, one of the biggest crisis that we are facing is the increasing percentage of teenage pregnancy. In such a young age, teenagers stop going to school because of unintentionally becoming pregnant. Some may choose to continue going to school but commonly, most of them cease to go to school and choose to stay at home because of certain circumstances such as fearing the judgment of other people. From 2000 to 2010, the number of live births by teenage mothers in the Philippines rose by more than 60 percent, latest data from the National Statistics Office showed. We could somehow conclude that the number of dropouts increased in the past school years. As I cited above, we know that teenage pregnancy is becoming a threat in our academic development. That is why, I propose of implementing rules in dealing with romantic relationships among selected MNHS to prevent teenage...

...this case study contribute to the debate around the nature of International law? ------------------------------------------------- Lecturer: Natalie ------------------------------------------------- Author: Rofhiwa Ramahala ------------------------------------------------- Tutorial Group: 4 ------------------------------------------------- Due Date: 7th March 2016 Introduction Two separate statements made by two high profiled Chinese government officials in 1999 threw the question of Taiwan sovereignty into question. The first statement originated from then President of the government of the Republic of China (or “ROC”) Lee Teng-hui on Taiwan on July 10, 1999 during an interview with a reporter. In the interview he stated that the relationship between China and Taiwan is one of a “special state-to-state relationship”. While in the second statement a spokesperson of the People’s Republic of China (or “PRC”) after a severe earthquake struck Taiwan. The United Nation office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs attempted to send a disaster management team to Taiwan, however then Secretary General Kofi Annan was informed that the U.N. had to ask the government of the PRC for permission to dispatch an aid team to Taiwan. Mr. Annan thus coined the statement of “the Taiwan Province of China”. These two statements relate to the sovereignty of Taiwan. The first statement raises the question of whether the State of Taiwan is a sovereign state, while the second asks if China has...

...human reason or human nature, while common law is the legal tradition whereby certain rights or values are legally cognizable by virtue of judicial recognition or articulation PROPONENTS OF NATURAL LAW Plato According to Plato we live in an orderly universe. At the basis of this orderly universe or nature are the forms, most fundamentally the Form of the Good, which Plato describes as "the brightest region of Being". The Form of the Good is the cause of all things and when it is seen it leads a person to act wisely. In the Symposium, the Good is closely identified with the Beautiful. Also in the Symposium, Plato describes how the experience of the Beautiful by Socrates enables him to resist the temptations of wealth and sex. In the Republic, the ideal community is, "...a city which would be established in accordance with nature. Aristotle Greek philosophy emphasized the distinction between "nature" (physis) on the one hand and "law", "custom", or "convention" (nomos, νóμος) on the other. is often said to be the father of natural law Aristotle's association with natural law may be due to the interpretation given to his works by Thomas Aquinas.

Nonetheless, this does raise questions about the primacy accorded to the Scottish Sheriffs’ accounts in the second section of the book in light of the markedly different approach to ASBOs adopted in Scotland, especially where young people are concerned (pp. 121–125). The Sheriffs’ accounts clearly lend support to extant concerns about net-widening (cf. Squires and Stephen, 2005)...
