Abstract
|
| |
Scholarly research reveals strong correlations between the functions
of East European migrants in the UK labor market, recruitment and employment of
labor migrants, the social role of migrants, the potential human capital of immi-
grants, and the emergence of a new European migration system. The mainstay of the
paper is formed by an analysis of the role and impact of contemporary immigration,
the relationships between immigration and labor-market change, the role of free
movement and migration in regional integration processes, the new networks of
international migration, and the twin processes of global economic restructuring and
increased migration. |

Abstract

Considerable research attention has focused on the culture of the folk,
the liveliness of folklore in everyday life, the nature of the folklore text, and the
distinction between folklore and popular culture. I seek to contribute to a wider
understanding of contextual and cultural influences on the value of folklore as an
aspect of cultural and national identity, the structure of oral narratives like folktales,
the nature of folklore in society, the notion of folklore as a process, and the scope of
folklore. |

This paper attempts to analyze geopolitical codes using qualitative
content analysis. Analyzing such codes helps to reveal the political elites geo-
political assumptions, which form a states foreign policy. This paper explains how
the relationship between events and geopolitical codes could be interpreted by using
qualitative content analysis method. It shows that this technique is researcher centric
and how effective it is depends on the ability and skill of the researcher. A qual-
itative content analysis is also important because, for analyzing geopolitical codes,
the researcher needs to analyze and interpret presidential speeches and governmental
documents as critical data... |

Following the famous saying allegedly spelled by Kissinger: "Europe?
Give me a name and a phone number!" (when - back in early 1970s - urged by
President Nixon to inform Europeans on the particular US policy action), the author
is trying to examine how close is Asia to have its own telephone number. By
contrasting and comparing genesis of multilateral security structures in Europe with
those currently existing in Asia, and by listing some of the most pressing security
challenges in Asia, this article offers several policy incentives why the largest worlds
continent must consider creation of the comprehensive pan-Asian institution... |

Abstract

State-level revenue forecasts tend to be based not only on financial
conditions, but also on political considerations. The relationship between these two
factors can be uncovered when analyzing budget forecast errors. Typically, revenue
forecast errors are assumed to follow a normal distribution; however, this research
finds that political factors skew the distribution of errors. The further into the future
the forecast is made, the more biased the budget becomes. This research tests the
impact of political factors on long-range, state-level revenue budget forecasts... |

Abstract

Debate about the nature of security has flourished in many parts of the
world since before the end of the Cold War. Throughout that time, Europe has proved
to be a major focus for research in what has been termed non-traditional - in some
ways, non-American - security studies. Ours is not an argument about ownership: one
can find non-traditional security studies globally, yet there has been a consistency to
the development of non-traditional theorizing in Europe, often facilitated by research
grants from bodies such as the European Union... |

Global democracy and world governance demand a transnational public
sphere in order to circulate information, balance conflicting interests of international
actors and create a common understanding of a shared global responsibility. However,
this article points out the ambivalent role of the global media and its recipients. Using
the scope of the history of political thought (Sartre, Tocqueville), the author takes a
critical stance towards the possible development of passive voyeurs who consume the
worldwide presentation of human suffering... |

International trade has a significant impact on greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions and global climate change. In this respect, trade between China and the
European Union, as the worlds two biggest exporters, is critical to the global GHG
emission reduction efforts. The EU-15 is committed to reducing its CO2 emissions under
the Kyoto Protocol. However, if the EU reaches its pledged targets by importing
CO2 intensive products from China, thereby effectively outsourcing its own emissions
to an extent of ca 13... |
