Darba tēma ir "Ekonomiskās sankcijas: Krievijas gadījuma analīze". Ekonomiskās sankcijas ir bieži izmantots ārpolitikas instruments, kura ieviešanas skaits ir audzis tieši pēdējo 25 gadu laikā. Teorētiskajā daļā autors apskata ekonomisko sankciju veidus, mērķus, kā arī tos aspektus, kuri ir ietekmējuši ekonomisko sankciju pielietojuma pieaugumu. Tāpat, teorētiskajā daļā tiek apskatīts gudro sankciju koncepts. Balstoties teorētiskajā daļā gūtajās atziņās, darba empīriskajā daļā tiek analizēts ES un ASV ekonomisko sankciju gadījums pret Krievijas Federāciju. Analizējot pret Krieviju vērsto ekonomisko sankciju veidus un to radītos efektus, tiek noskaidrota to ietekme uz Krievijas ekonomiku un politisko lēmumu procesiem. ; The topic of this thesis is "Economic sanctions: Russia case study". Economic sanctions is a commonly used foreign policy tool that has gained increased popularity in the past 25 years. In the theoretical part the author looks at the aspects which have affected the rise of sanction use, as well as the types and goals of economic sanctions. The concept of smart sanctions is also looked upon in the theoretical part of this paper. Based on the acquired knowlage in the theoretical part, the empirical part will is dedicated for the analysis of EU and US imposed sanctions against Russia. Analysing the types and effects of the imposed sanctions against Russia, their influence on Russia's economy and political decision making process is established.

Includes bibliographical references. ; Presented at the Building resilience of Mongolian rangelands: a trans-disciplinary research conference held on June 9-10, 2015 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. ; In 2014 the Mongolian parliament approved the Green Development Policy. Out of 21 aimags, Khovd, Arkhangai, Uvurkhangai, Khentii and Bulgan aimags set an objective of prioritizing green development on their local level. This paper is based on the project "Conducting environmental and social vulnerability research of soums in five aimags leading in green development and developing strategy recommendation" and it is written using Khovd aimag as a case study. Here, in Khovd aimag's 17 soums, we evaluated eight variables including drought-dzud index, vegetation index, preventable livestock loss, prepared hay and fodder, pasture use index, degree of desertification, land degradation and surface water loss, allowing us to make an integrated assessment of ecological vulnerability. According to our analysis, the Gobi desert steppe region was defined as most vulnerable among environmental zones, and out of a total of 17 soums Altai, Uyench, Zereg, Chandmani and Duut soums were defined as most vulnerable, followed by Must, Darvi, Munkhhairkhan, Mankhan and Myangad soums. There is a need to give top priority to the planning and implementation of green policy in these ecologically more vulnerable soums by increasing their "green" budget. This will allow them to develop their capacity to adapt to climate change, decrease their vulnerability, to conduct optimal management of pasture use and have targeted preparation of hay and fodder.

Includes bibliographical references. ; Presented at the Building resilience of Mongolian rangelands: a trans-disciplinary research conference held on June 9-10, 2015 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. ; In Mongolia, partners from national and aimag governments, academia and NGOs have developed regional conservation plans that balance the government commitment to protection of natural habitats with planned development of mineral resources and related infrastructure. A key input is a mapped classification of major habitat types, or ecosystems, to represent the range of natural habitats and function as a surrogate for biodiversity. We developed a GIS model to map ecosystems across the Mongolian Gobi Desert region by comparing the distribution of plant communities and major vegetation types, taken from field surveys and national maps, with patterns of above-ground biomass, elevation, climate and topography derived from remote sensing. The resulting mapped classification is organized as a hierarchy of 1) biogeographic regions, 2) terrestrial ecosystem types based on vegetation, elevation and geomorphology, and 3) landforms. This provides a first-iteration map to support landscape-level conservation planning and a model framework that can support field surveys and future model revisions, with other applications to land use planning, research, surveys and monitoring. To facilitate that, the GIS results are publicly available either for download or to view and query in a web-based GIS available at: http://s3.amazonaws.com/DevByDesign-Web/MappingAppsVer2/Gobi/index.html

Baruch Kimmerling (1939-2007) was one of Israel's outstanding critical sociologists. In this volume dedicated to his memory, Israeli and Palestinian scholars of several disciplines and generations offer a series of studies on Israel and Palestine, past and present, in dialogue with the research agenda Kimmerling has advanced. Essays discuss Zionism and militarism, frontier and colonization, social protest and the limits of democracy, the sociology of fear and the politics of home -- and Kimmerling's own trajectory
