The New economic diplomacy: decision-making and negotiation in international economic relations

2012-05-01

Nicholas Bayne , Stephen Woolcock

The New Economic Diplomacy explains how states conduct their external economic relations in the 21st century: how they make decisions domestically; how they negotiate internationally; and how these processes interact. … The New Economic Diplomacy explains how states conduct their external economic relations in the 21st century: how they make decisions domestically; how they negotiate internationally; and how these processes interact. It documents the transformation of economic diplomacy in the 1990s and early 2000s in response to the end of the Cold War, the advance of globalisation and the growing influence of non-state actors like private business and civil society.

The Seven Military Classics of Ancient China

1993-01-01

Eliot A. Cohen , Ralph D. Sawyer , Mei Chün

The Seven Military Classics is one of the most profound studies of warfare ever written. It presents us with an Eastern tradition of strategic thought that emphasizes outwitting one's opponent … The Seven Military Classics is one of the most profound studies of warfare ever written. It presents us with an Eastern tradition of strategic thought that emphasizes outwitting one's opponent through speed, stealth, flexibility, and a minimum of force--an approach very different from that stressed in the West, where the advantages of brute strength have overshadowed more subtle methods.Safeguarded for centuries by the ruling elites of imperial China, even in modern times these writings have been known only to a handful of Western specialists. In this volume are seven separate essays, written between 500 b.c. and a.d. 700, that preserve the essential tenets of strategy distilled from the experience of the most brilliant warriors of ancient China.Only one of these seven essays, Sun Tzu's famous Art of War, has been readily available in the West. Thanks to this faithful translation of the complete Seven Military Classics, the insights of these ancient Chinese texts are now accessible in their entirety.It's not uncommon to see a salaryman on a crowded Tokyo subway studying one of the many popular Japanese editions of these essays. But why do so many businesspeople in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan study a 2,000-year-old military text? Because it embodies the strategic tradition of outwitting an opponent through speed, stealth, flexibility, and a minimum of effort. These principles have been proven both on the battlefield and in the marketplace. Now they are available in the West for the first time in their entirety.The lessons found in this book were exploited by such pivotal Asian war leaders as Japan's Yamamoto, China's Mao Tse-tung, and Vietnam's Giap to inflict terrible defeats on their enemies. And in more recent times, when Japan and others have decided to win their laurels on the field of international economic competition, these principles have been a key to the achievements of many Asian corporations. Executives in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan regularly study the Seven Military Classics. Unfortunately, even those far-sighted Western business leaders who have read Sun Tzu have glimpsed only a fraction of the knowledge their best Asian competitors use to plan corporate strategy--until now.Those who appreciate Chinese literature and philosophy will also discover much that is new in these pages. Here is a substantial but previously inaccessible body of thought that stands in contrast to Confucianism, which deprecated the military sphere in favor of self-cultivation and the ethical life.The Seven Military Classics of Ancient China remedies a serious gap in Western knowledge of Asian thought. This accurate translation is based on the best available classical Chinese manuscripts, some only recently discovered by archaeologists. It is a uniquely important contribution to the world's military literature and is essential reading for anyone interested in China's rich cultural heritage or in the timeless principles of successful strategy.

The first resort of kings: American cultural diplomacy in the twentieth century

2005-11-01

Richard T. Arndt

During the last five decades, U.S. cultural diplomacy programs have withered because of politics and accidents of history that have subordinated cultural diplomacy to relations campaigning, now called public diplomacy. … During the last five decades, U.S. cultural diplomacy programs have withered because of politics and accidents of history that have subordinated cultural diplomacy to relations campaigning, now called public diplomacy. With anti-Americanism on the rise worldwide, cultural diplomacy should become an immediate priority, but politicians continue to ignore this relatively inexpensive, age-old tool for promoting understanding among nations. Richard Arndt probes the history of American cultural diplomacy to demonstrate its valuable past contributions and to make a plea for reviving it for the future. Cultural relations occur naturally between people in different nations as a result of trade, tourism, student exchanges, entertainment, communications, migration, intermarriage-millions of cross-cultural encounters. But cultural diplomacy only happens when a government decides to channel and to support cultural exchange through planned programs to promote broad national interests. The First Resort of Kings examines the first eight decades of formal U.S. cultural diplomacy, from its tentative beginnings in World War I through the 1990s. Arndt also compares America's efforts with those of other nations and enriches his narrative by detailing the professional experiences of the men and women who have represented American democracy, education, intellect, art, and literature to the rest of the world. His work shows that this dialogue of American culture and education with the rest of the world is neither a frill nor a domestic political concern but is the deepest cornerstone of a positive, forward-looking U.S. foreign policy. Arndt argues that, particularly in the wake of the Iraq War, America must revive its cultural diplomacy programs as a long-term investment in international goodwill and understanding.

Diplomacy today takes place among multiple sites of authority, power, and influence: mainly states, but also including religious organizations, non-governmental organizations, multinational corporations, and even individuals, whether they be celebrities, philanthropists, or terrorists. With chapters written by contributors from across the world, this volume is intended for a global audience. It underlines the global scope and multilateral nature and solutions for today's most pressing problems. The various sections highlight the many complex areas at play in modern diplomacy. The articles are designed to show how the theory and practice of diplomacy are attempting to deal with each specific issue area and to identify changes in the field in relation to the intersection of club and network diplomacy. Through the use of pertinent case studies, the book highlights the complex challenges facing the modern practitioner of this ancient profession. The questions that will be addressed in this volume include the following: What is the role and nature of diplomacy in twenty-first century? What are the key features that have remained constant? How do the increased number of actors involved in diplomacy interact and get things done? What are the implications for diplomacy of the dynamic nature of the interactions between bilateral, regional, and multilateral diplomacy, and of the linkages across issue areas?

Peace and war: armed conflicts and international order, 1648-1989

Which issues generate … In this book, Professor Holsti approaches the study of the origins of war and the foundations of peace from a distinct perspective. He asks three interrelated questions. Which issues generate conflict? How have attitudes towards war changed? And, what attempts have been made historically to create international orders and institutions that can manage, control or prevent international conflicts? Starting with the peace treaties of Munster and Osnabruck of 1648, Kalevi Holsti examines 177 international wars. Through these, he identifies the variety of conflict-producing issues and how they, as well as the attitudes of policy makers to the use of force, have changed over the last 350 years. He demonstrates how the orders established by the great peacemaking efforts of 1648, 1713, 1815, 1919 and 1945 attempted to solve the issues of the past, yet few successfully anticipated those of the future. Indeed, some created the basis of fresh conflicts.

The lost meaning of strategy

2005-10-01

Hew Strachan

Strategy is a word which has lost its meaning, too often being used as a synonym for policy. Between the late eighteenth century and the end of the First World … Strategy is a word which has lost its meaning, too often being used as a synonym for policy. Between the late eighteenth century and the end of the First World War, it described the conduct of war as exercised at the level of the military commander. But the scale of the two world wars and the influence of maritime powers, like the United States and Britain, prompted the evolution of 'grand strategy' to enable the coordination of allies in different theatres of war and to mobilise all national resources for the prosecution of war. Since the end of the Cold War the vocabulary of war-making has lost definition, making lesser conflicts seem larger than they are, 'militarising' foreign policy and robbing the nation state of an important conceptual tool for adapting military means to political objectives. The results have been evident since m September.

Conceptualizing Economic Diplomacy:The Crossroads of International Relations, Economics, IPE and Diplomatic Studies

While the … Abstract This article introduces both a conceptual and an analytical framework of economic diplomacy so as to contribute to sounder understanding of economic diplomacy’s activities, tools and goals. While the state is not regarded as the only player, or as a coherent entity, it is assumed that the state is the primary actor in economic diplomacy. The conceptual framework discerns five strands of economic diplomacy, which involve tools and purposes that are relatively more commercial/economic or political in character and are thereby closer to the ‘business end’ or ‘power-play end’ of economic diplomacy. The analytical framework identifies four essential dimensions of economic diplomacy within which historically contingent change may occur: the context; tools; theatres; and processes. Interaction between these dimensions takes place in multiple ways. Building on the insights provided by these frameworks, the article analyses the foci, assumptions and methodologies of the research fields that are concerned with economic diplomacy, and discusses the strategic and ideological considerations that underpin it.

Organizational Culture and Business History

The conventions at various levels … The concept of culture promised to make organization studies more historical and to provide theoretical relevance for business history. This promise has not been fulfilled. The conventions at various levels of organizational culture studies prevent them from becoming more historical, and the conventions of business history make it difficult to engage with the concept of culture. Corporate culturism imposes a narrative structure that privileges the role of founders in history. Similarly, corporate sponsorship reinforces the tendency for business historians to endorse the unity and continuity of corporate cultures. The influence of economics in business history reduces culture to a residual variable and subordinates narrative to economic models. Organizational symbolists are suspicious of narrative, which they associate with founder-centred corporate culturism. Instead, ethnographies emphasize verisimilitude and the subjective experience of the author at the expense of verifiable historical narratives. Business historians adopt an objective stance that allows them to write definitive company histories, but makes it difficult to engage with the subjectivism and relativism of organizational symbolism or the scepticism of post-modernism. Unlike organizational culture studies, post-modernism in history is identified with a return to narrative. A serious engagement with organizational culture studies might engender the much-needed critical reflex in business history. We use the rare examples of historical deconstruction in organizational culture studies (Boje 1995) and of deconstruction in business history (Church 1996) to highlight the differences between the two discourses. We argue that a more historical approach in organizational culture studies and a more reflexive engagement with the concept of culture in business history would facilitate the deconstruction of founder-centred narratives of corporate culture.

It explores how memory is deeply entwined with social relationships, stories in film and literature, group history, monuments, ritual practices, material artifacts, and a host of other cultural devices. Culture in this account is not a bounded group of people or variable to be manipulated but, rather, the medium through which people live and make meaning of their lives. The focus of analysis becomes one of understanding the mutual constitution of people’s memories and the social–cultural worlds to which they belong. An interdisciplinary team of leading scholars has been brought together in this volume to offer new theoretical models of memory as both a psychological and a social–cultural process. The following themes are explored: the concept of memory and its relation to evolution, neurology, culture, and history; the particular dynamics of different cultural contexts of remembering, such as families, commemorations, giving testimony, and struggling with difficult memories such as in therapy; life course changes in memory from its development in childhood, through its anticipatory function in emerging adulthood, to managing its decline in old age; and the national and transnational organization of collective memory and identity through narratives propagated in political discourse, the classroom, and media. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the complex and interconnected relationship between culture, mind, and memory.

This is because it has been looking in the wrong place. Where trust-building has been theorized by the discipline of International Relations, the focus has been on the state and the individual. This book argues that there is a need to appreciate the importance of a new level of analysis in trust research—the interpersonal. In its development of a theory of interpersonal trust between state leaders in adversarial relationships, this book argues that the obstacles to leaders sincerely signalling their peaceful intent can be overcome and that trust-based relationships provide the greatest assurance of accurate signal interpretation. This book examines three cases: the interaction between US and Soviet leaders Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev and its role in ending the cold war; the interaction between Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and its role in the Lahore peace process of 1998–9; and the interactions across 2009–10 between Barack Obama and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that did not lead to a breakthrough in the US–Iranian nuclear relationship.

It contributes to our understanding of key themes in consular affairs today, the consular challenges that are facing the three great powers—the United States, Russia and China—as well as the historical origins of the consular institution in Europe. Consular Affairs and Diplomacy breaks new ground in the field of diplomatic studies by illustrating how consular affairs can be understood in the broader context of diplomatic practice and vice versa. As a result, the much-neglected study of the consular institution may improve our understanding of contemporary diplomacy.

"Bring your own … Most Westerners preparing for a business trip to China like to arm themselves with a list of etiquette how-tos. "Carry a boatload of business cards," tipsters say. "Bring your own interpreter." "Speak in short sentences." "Wear a conservative suit." Such advice can help get companies in the door and even through the first series of business transactions. But it won't sustain the prolonged, year-in, year-out associations Chinese and Western businesses can now achieve. The authors' work with dozens of companies and thousands of American and Chinese executives over the past 20 years has demonstrated that a superficial adherence to etiquette rules gets executives only so far. They have witnessed communication breakdowns between American and Chinese businesspeople time and time again. The root cause: the American side's failure to understand the much broader context of Chinese culture and values, a problem that too often leaves Western negotiators flummoxed and flailing. American and Chinese approaches often appear incompatible. Americans see Chinese negotiators as inefficient, indirect, and even dishonest, while the Chinese see American negotiators as aggressive, impersonal, and excitable. Such perceptions have deep cultural origins. Yet those who know how to navigate these differences can develop thriving, mutually profitable, and satisfying business relationships. Four cultural threads have bound the Chinese people together for some 5,000 years, and these show through in Chinese business negotiations. They are agrarianism, morality, the Chinese pictographic language, and wariness of strangers. Most Western businesspeople often find those elements mysterious and confusing. But ignore them at any time during the negotiation process, and the deal can easily fall apart.

Kako je (crtani) film blizak deci svih uzrasta, mogućnosti njegove primene u nastavi su velike. Osim što je odlično motivaciono sredstvo, utiče i na razvoj kritičkog mišljenja, kompetencija za celoživotno učenje, opštih međupredmetnih kompetencija, kreativnosti, prenosi vaspitne i moralne poruke, podstiče maštu. Može se koristiti u nastavi velikog broja nastavnih predmeta i u skoro svim etapama časa. Cilj ovog rada jeste da ukaže na mogućnosti primene (crtanog) filma u nastavi srpskog jezika i književnosti. Na časovima ovog predmeta najčešće se koristi pri korelaciji ili komparaciji književnog dela i njegove ekranizacije, ali se može koristiti i kao osnova za govorne i pismene vežbe, u okviru bogaćenja rečnika, za stilističke i gramatičke analize. Primena filma u nastavi zahteva dobru pripremu nastavnika, budući da film mora biti primeren i nastavnoj jedinici, i uzrastu učenika, i školi kao obrazovno-vaspitnoj instituciji. Zahvaljujući internetu i činjenici da nam je danas dostupniji nego ikada, mogućnosti za istraživanje, pripremu i realizaciju časova s filmom kao nastavnim sredstvom gotovo su neograničene.

Pretende-se demonstrar que, mais do que uma sucessão de ensaios, esses estudos constituem partes de um extenso projeto que visava tanto uma reinterpretação geral da poesia camoniana quanto o desenvolvimento de um método crítico a ser aplicado em estudos literários e culturais. Daí a necessidade de se entender o papel de cada parte no mapa teórico-metodológico desenhado por Sena ao longo da década de 1960, assim como a de se verificar a pertinência e o impacto das suas análises nos estudos camonianos.

Since he was unable to obtain adequate recording equipment, Murko took notes in the field and kept detailed records of his observations. He received a grant from the Balkan Commission of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Vienna to study epic poetry in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina during the summers of 1912 and 1913. In 1912, he made the first phonograph recordings in northwestern Bosnia. The following year, in 1913, he continued his research in Sarajevo and western Herzegovina. He had planned to extend his work into the summer of 1914, but the outbreak of World War I prevented him from doing so. Murko later returned to Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1930 and 1931. During a well-organized three-month research period, he traveled to eastern Bosnia and Sarajevo. Murko’s recordings provide valuable insights into the performance of epic songs accompanied by the gusle and the two-stringed tambura, as well as sevdalinka songs performed with violin and saz accompaniment. This paper examines the significance of Murko’s research in Bosnia and Herzegovina, his methodological approach, and the field materials he collected.

Tržaška, kraj sobivanja italijanščine in slovenščine ter njunih pogosto nasprotujočih si kulturnih referenc, je po letu 1945 postala teren spopadov na več ravneh med italijanskimi interesi na eni strani ter slovenskimi na drugi, z demonstracijami, nemiri in splošnim ozračjem napetosti. Prispevek analizira zemljevid spomenikov, stavb in drugih elementov jezikovne pokrajine. Opazovanje jezikovne pokrajine z analizo, ki se ne naslanja na sodobne in politično nevtralne elemente (kot so prometni znaki ali napisi za trgovine), temveč na starejše spomenike in napise z močno politično vsebino, pripomore h globljemu razumevanju zgodovinske in družbene dinamike, ki še vedno vključuje obe jezikovni skupnosti, slovensko in italijansko, ki sobivata na Tržaškem.

Proučavanje i analiza arhivske građe svaki put nas iznova vraća na „pravi put“ i daje mogućnost revalorizacije uvriježenih činjenica u izvorima koji su parafrazirali izvornu građu. Uslijed nenamjernih mogućih pogrješaka unutar navođenja određenih izvora s godinama odmaka (153 godine) uočene su nedosljednosti u navođenju osnivača i potpisnika Hrvatskog pedagoško-književnoga zbora od njegovoga osnivanja do danas. Dvjestota obljetnica rođenja Ivana Filipovića (1823. – 2023.) koji je bio njen osnivač, kao i kreator navedenih Pravila potaknula nas je da rasvijetlimo pitanje osnivača HPKZ-a kao i tko su potpisnici Pravila. Rezultati istraživanja dobiveni kritičkim, povijesnim, teorijsko-komparativnim i hermeneutičkim metodološkim pristupom ističu društveno-politički kontekst vremena osnivanja, uzroke osnivanja formiranja HPKZ-a te tko su bili osnivači, a tko potpisnici Pravila ove učiteljske udruge.

Brinje u vrijeme osmanske ugroze krajem XV. i tijekom XVI. stoljeća. Strateška važnost, pitanje vlasništva i ratne aktivnosti

Temeljni problemi razmatrani u ovoj studiji (strateška važnost brinjske utvrde, pitanje vlasništva i ratne aktivnosti u zadnjim desetljećima XV. do sredine XVI. stoljeća) prikazani su u dijakronijskoj perspektivi razmatrajući Brinje u širem društvenom, vojnom i političkom kontekstu kako hrvatskih povijesnim zemalja, tako i širih prostora Ugarsko-Hrvatskog Kraljevstva. Iako je Brinje u kratku razdoblju tijekom devetoga desetljeća XV. stoljeća bilo uključeno u sastav Senjske kapetanije, to je u prvi mah bilo kratkoga vijeka jer su knezovi Frankapani svakako do glasovite Krbavske bitke iz 1493. godine ponovno Brinje vratili pod svoju vlast. Početkom idućega stoljeća Brinje je zbog svoga položaja na prometnici prema Senju bilo strateška važna utvrda na granici s Osmanlijama koju su, oslanjajući se na pomoć Habsburgovaca, manje ili više uspješno branili njezini gospodari, knezovi Frankapani. Uslijed sve većih i češćih osmanskih pustošenja knezovi Frankapani su gubili sposobnost obrane Brinja, koje pak vladar iz nove vladarske kuće Habsburgovaca nije želio prepustiti sudbini već su vojne vlasti nastojale Brinje ponovno preuzeti i uklopiti je u sustav Senjske kapetanije. Unatoč opiranjima kneza Vuka I. Frankapana Brinjskog, pa čak i nasilnoga preuzimanja utvrde, Brinje je početkom petoga desetljeća XVI. stoljeća ponovno uklopljeno u sustav Vojne granice, o čemu svjedoči niz povijesnih izvora, među kojima posebice različiti popisi vojnih posada. Ne samo do izmaka XVI. stoljeća, već i u narednim vremenima, Brinje je ostalo u sastavu Vojne granice.

Prvi je put ojkonim Kosinj potvrđen u tekstu biskupa Nikole Modruškoga … U radu se, na temelju arhivskoga istraživanja, referentne literature i terenskoga istraživanja, toponomastički obrađuje toponimija naselja Gornji Kosinj . Prvi je put ojkonim Kosinj potvrđen u tekstu biskupa Nikole Modruškoga 1461. u kojemu se, kao graditelj dvaju oltara posvećenih Blaženoj Djevici Mariji, spominje dični knez Lacko od Kosinja. Lik Kosin prvi je put zabilježen 1528. na zemljovidu Tabula Hungariae, a poslije se tijekom XVI. i XVII. stoljeća te u prvoj polovici XVIII. na zemljovidima bilježe likovi Cosin (1559), Khesin (1572), Rhesin (1595), Rheisin (1613), Rusin (oko 1650), Rheissin (1686), Kusin (1709), Cossin (1738) i Cuchin (1738). Prema zapisu biskupa Glavinića iz 1696. postojala su tri Kosinja: Gornje, Donje i Srednje Selo (Kosinj). Tijekom tridesetih godina XVIII. stoljeća zabilježeni su likovi Cuchin Superior, Kosin Valach/Mitter i Kossin Inferior, koji se odnose na Gornji, Srednji i Donji Kosinj. Tako ih 1728. naziva i senjsko-modruški biskup Nikola Pohmajević. Dotad se Donji Kosinj nazivao Gornjim i obrnuto, kako navodi Mile Bogović (2014: 76), a otad se Gornji Kosinj na povijesnim zemljovidima navodi kao Ober Koʃzin, O. Kossinj, Gorny Kasin i konačno Gornji Kosinj . Srednje Selo ili Srednji Kosinj, koji je nakon oslobođenja od osmanlijske vlasti naselilo pravoslavno stanovništvo, primijenilo je ime u Zamost . Na kosinjskome se području u srednjovjekovlju spominju naselja: Buci (danas središte Gornjega Kosinja, predio kod crkve svetoga Antuna Padovanskog), Botuci (danas Podjelar u Gornjem Kosinju), Hotilja Vas (danas oko Mance-Drage i Klobučareva klanca u Gornjem Kosinju) i Gorenja Vas (naselje je još neubicirano, vjerojatno se nalazilo u Bočaću ). Riječ je o prostoru naseljenomu od prapovijesti, o čemu svjedoče arheološki lokaliteti Panos – Žegarova glavica i Grčko groblje / Plešina glavica . Srednjovjekovnu naseljenost obrađenoga prostora potvrđuju povijesni ojkonimi Buci, Botuci, Gorenja Vas i Hotilja Vas koji još nisu precizno ubicirani. Iz suvremene toponimije izdvajaju se toponimi Grič (&lt; grič ‘stjenovita uzvisina’) i Brina (usp. brinje ‘mjesto uz vodu ili potok’) u kojima su se odrazili razmjerno rijetko potvrđeni toponomastički apelativi. U mjesnoj se toponimiji ujedno ogleda povijesna (srednjočakavski supstrat) i suvremena dijalektološka slika (štokavska ikavica uz adstratni utjecaj goranskih govora) obrađenoga područja.

Applied methods are linguistic, historical and systemic interpretation of the Latin alphabet transcription of the Mining Code of Despot Stefan, as well as regressive analysis of Ottoman legal monuments from the end of 15th until the 18th century. The results point to the conclusion that they were a special kind of supervisors, who were unlike similarly named professionals in comparative mediaeval mining law.

The document is dated ‘ultimo de marzo’ 1433 and was later updated to 5 February 1435. Contemporary annotations of the entries offer invaluable insights into the network of political and personal relationships that the Este maintained, seen from the perspective of the gifting and lending of jewellery. This study provides a comparative analysis of the quaderno vechio with the ‘Inventario di beni mobili’ (1436–7), among which Nicolò’s jewels were listed, and the inventory of ‘zoglie, argentiere, veste et altre robbe’ (1442–50) of his son and successor Leonello (1407–1450). The comparative analysis of these three documents provides a comprehensive view of the marquis’s precious possessions, and of how his acquisitions contributed to shaping the jewellery collection of the family.

Najbolji dokaz tome su hrvatski generali i admirali, koji su proslavili hrvatske ratnike na bojnim poljima diljem Europe. Jedan od njih je i podmaršal austrougarske vojske Martin Vrkljan od Pilara, rodom iz Pilara kraj Sv. Roka. Kao i ostali lički generali i on je generalske činove stekao na bojnom polju i to u vrijeme Prvoga svjetskog rata, za što je odlikovan s dva visoka odličja za hrabrost i zapovijedanje postrojbom u ratnim uvjetima, što mu je osiguralo plemićku titulu. Odanost prema rodnom kraju pokazao je odabirom plemićkog pridjevka „von Pilar“ prema njegovom rodnom mjestu.1 Hrvatsko domoljublje iskazao je djelovanjem u Družbi „Braće Hrvatskoga Zmaja“, čiji je bio aktivni član, za što je stekao zmajski grb i naziv „Zmaj Pilarski“.

In recent years, IOB – the Independent Evaluation Directorate of the Netherlands MFA – has conducted many evaluations that have addressed the country’s diplomatic engagement. These studies have yielded significant findings on what makes diplomatic engagement successful. This practitioner’s essay, with characteristics of a ‘positive evaluation’, provides an overview based on a review of recent IOB evaluations, a special case study and background interviews. The conclusion is that diplomatic success can be explained through a combination of seven factors: mission, capacity, commitment, teamwork, networking, timing and reputation.

U nizu zvučnih fotografskih imena koja su se među prvima pojavila u Lici poput Ivana Standla ili Rudolfa Mosingera, posebno je ostalo zabilježeno prezime Verson i to ponajviše zahvaljujući njihovom dugotrajnom i neprekidnom radu. Porijeklom iz Italije, izučivši urarski zanat u Senju, Francesco Verson otisnuo se u svijet gdje je upoznao sve čari fotografskog aparata. Nakon kratkog boravka na Hvaru gdje je započeo svoj samostalni fotografski posao, oko 1893. godine doselio se i za stalno nastanio u Gospiću i „od urara Francesca postao slikar Franjo“. Nakon trideset godina aktivnog rada očev fotografski posao, kao i društvenu angažiranost nastavili su sinovi Juraj i Anton i tijekom tog vremena posao proširili i izvan granica Gospića i Like, otvorivši poslovnice u Korenici i Senju. Kroz dvije generacije Versoni su u Gospiću djelovali više od pola stoljeća i za to vrijeme načinili tisuće slikovnih zapisa gdje su objektivom uhvatili najznačajnije događaje i poznate osobe koje su posjetile Gospić, ali i bezbrojne privatne trenutke i portrete svojih sugrađana.

While life was more liberal under Tito’s leadership, there were undeniable restrictions, particularly on freedom of speech. Media was partially controlled, and criticism of public figures, government policies, or political movements was limited. Open expression, though not completely suppressed, was carefully monitored, creating a social environment where people became accustomed to self-censorship.

There are … Today, entrepreneurship represents a career opportunity for women of all age groups, especially for young mothers who can be with their children and work at the same time. There are more women than men living in the European Union, there are only a little more than a third of the self-employed in the European Union. Social networks represent a very economical and cost-effective way of advertising products, which provides an outlet for female entrepreneurship in the sense that today everything can be much more visible in the world than it was before. Advertising with social networks is the most common form of informing users about new products or services, this especially applies to the younger group of users. The aim of the work is to present an analysis of the role and importance of young mothers in the development of entrepreneurship in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The subject of the research is related to the success of this type of entrepreneurship in the Balkans, its survival, and growth in the future. Methodology: The hypothesis that H0 – small entrepreneurship of young mothers has a significant impact on the development of entrepreneurship in the Balkans was tested through comparative research conducted based on questionnaires and available research on the Internet. The obtained research results indicate newly emerging trends, but it is necessary to point out that these same trends are expected. The study presents the results of research from the previous period in this area. The key conclusions from the research refer to the observation of variables that can be useful in making more effective decisions on this matter in the future. This represents the mission of female entrepreneurship, which leads to determining priorities such as professional training and improvement of women's knowledge and skills, promotion of a favorable image of women in business, and the establishment of new companies owned by women - self-employment. Keywords: entrepreneur, marketing, management, social network, mother.

UTICAJ AKTUELNIH ORUŽANIH KONFLIKATA U UKRAJINI I PALESTINI NA GLOBALNA PRIVREDNA I GEOPOLITIČKA KRETANJA

Ona je doprinela privrednom razvoju mnogih zemalja, ali je takođe i pokrenula niz izazova i spornih kontradiktornih pitanja, uljučujući i pojavu povremenih globalnih i finansijkih kriza i ratnih tenzija. Cilj ovog rada je da istraži načine na koje trenutna globalna ekonomska kriza, kao posledica globalizacije, i aktuelni ekonomski pritisci utiču na geopolitičke promene u savremenom svetu, kao i da izvrši analizu ekonomskih aspekata oružanih sukoba u Ukrajini i Palestini, ukazujući na veoma složenu vezu između ekonomije, politike i bezbednosti na globalnom nivou. Ovaj sveobuhvatni rad se bavi detaljnim izučavanjem posledica globalnih privrednih kriza i ekonomskih sukoba, sa posebnim osvrtom na globalne ekonomske, finansijske, bankarske, energetske, trgovinske i geopolitičke aspekte Rata u Ukrajini. U svom drugom delu, članak analizira globalne ekonomske posledice Rata u Palestini, kao i njegov uticaj na aktuelne geopolitičke tokove i globalne trgovinske rute.

This article surveys how memory fits within Volf’s Christian framework, particularly its relationship to atonement and divine generosity. In The End of Memory, he argues that while memory is essential for justice and identity, it must ultimately be transformed by grace. In the eschaton, the memory of wrongdoing will gradually fade as a gift from God, making perfect communion with God and one another possible. This study explores how Volf’s eschatology informs this claim and considers whether his framework sufficiently accounts for the moral weight of past suffering and the need for recognition. Engaging with critiques of his position, the article examines how his reflections on forgiveness, justice, and reconciliation shape his approach to remembering rightly. By situating his concept of memory within his larger theological project, this survey provides an overview of its role in his vision of redemption and the world to come.

Sadržavala je niz pjesama o astronomskim temama koje je napisao bivši student Rimskog kolegija, Camillo Garulli. U jednoj od pjesama Garulli prikazuje propast zastarjele znanstvene paradigme kroz simboličku smrt njezina glavnog autoriteta, Aristotela. Slijedeći popularnu legendu, Garulli tvrdi da Aristotel nije uspio objasniti podrijetlo plime i oseke u Euripskom tjesnacu, pa se bacio u more, čime je otvorio put novom, kopernikansko-newtonovskom svjetonazoru. Ne samo što se Garulli osjećao dovoljno slobodnim da ismijava Aristotela i skolastičku tradiciju u cjelini, nego je po prvi put mogao na naslovnicu svoje knjige staviti izraz »Hypothesis Copernicana«. Iako je pjesmi prethodilo uobičajeno upozorenje da se ta »hipoteza« uzima kao tek jedno od mogućih objašnjenja sustava svijeta, Garulli više nije morao skrivati ono što je u srži njegova djela. Ovaj članak istražuje kako su oko sredine 18. stoljeća rimski isusovci počeli zagovarati Kopernikov heliocentrični sustav. Pokazat ću da su isusovci u velikoj mjeri koristili autoritet Isaaca Newtona kao svojevrsni štit protiv mogućih optužbi da podržavaju zabranjeni sustav. Središnja figura u tom procesu bio je tada vodeći isusovački znanstvenik i Garullijev bivši učitelj na Rimskom kolegiju, Ruđer Bošković. Nadalje, pokazat ću kako su Bošković i njegovi suvremenici odigrali ključnu ulogu u ukidanju formalne zabrane djelâ koja podržavaju kopernikanski nauk te za konačno Crkvino prihvaćanje toga sustava kao jedinog matematički pouzdanog opisa svemira.

A nation refers to the collective body of individuals who reside within the borders of a state and adhere to its laws. In contrast, the ethnic concept of identity, encompassing traditions, language, religion, and heritage, emerged primarily in Germany and Eastern Europe as a response to communities striving to assert their distinctiveness. The concept of nation is inherently linked to the notion of identity, reflecting an individual’s attachment to their origin, traditions, culture, and language, which may not necessarily align with the state of their birth or residence.This paper introduces the Theory of Collective Identity (TCI), through the lens of Britishness, which seeks to reinforce and promote Britishness as a collective identity. The United Kingdom (UK) embodies a shared (collective) identity, comprising English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish identities. Historical developments, societal actions, and core values such as religious freedom, tolerance, and personal and social responsibility have all shaped the construction of British identity. This paper explores which components are pivotal in defining Britishness, examining factors such as the English language, birthplace, British citizenship, residence, heritage, religious affiliation, and the role of individual identification as British.
