Раздел "Международные отношения" ; В статье рассмотрен комплекс мер дипломатического, экономического и военного характера, предпринятых международным сообществом в отношении косовского конфликта в период 1997—1999 гг. В результате низкой эффективности международной медиации, гуманитарной катастрофы в регионе и эскалации насилия в крае была осуществлена интервенция сил НАТО, которая привела к углублению межэтнических противоречий. Следствием политической линии, направленной на максимизацию косовской автономии, стало провозглашение независимости косовского государства и расшатывание основ Ялтинско-Потсдамской системы международных отношений. = The article analyzes diplomatic, economic and military policies pursued by international community concerning the Kosovo conflict during the period of 1997 to 1999. The failure of international mediation, humanitarian distress on a regional scale and escalation of hostilities in Kosovo resulted in the NATO military intervention which led to deepening of the interethnic conflict. A shared vision as to maximize the Kosovo autonomy subsequently resulted in the declaration of Kosovo independence and a challenge to the Yalta-Potsdam system of international relations.

Trees are forest products whose number continues to decrease over time due to fulfilling human needs to sustain their lives. Continuous deforestation can threaten and destabilize ecosystems on earth, which leads to international environmental issues that have yet to be resolved. The purpose of this legal research was to determine the legal compliance of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) towards regulations by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) for the protection of the tropical Afromosia tree and the steps that the DRC should undertake in maintaining the existence of the Afromosia tree which is now endangered from extinction. This study is normative legal research with a statute and case approach and analyzed through inductive analysis techniques. Make use of indicators from the international legal compliance theory by Andrew T. Guzman, namely the model of rational and self-interested states theory, the results of the study show that the DRC has a low level of legal compliance with the provisions of the CITES convention related to the protection of Afrormosia trees.

This book provides an in-depth analysis of the role of foreign-owned banks for credit growth, financial stability and economic growth in the post-communist European countries. Using data covering 20 countries over the period from 1995 to 2015, the authors analyse the evolution of banking sectors in CESEE after the transformation in the historical context. This helps draw a new picture of the role of financial development and EU accession in that region, being also a lesson for other countries or regions in transition. Additionally, as the Global Financial Crisis has left a stigma in banking sectors, the book shows its impact on the post-communist banking sectors. As the foreign banks dominate the banking sectors in CESEE countries (the stake of foreign-owned banks is below 50% of assets in only five out of 20 countries), their strategies materially impact the development of CESEE banking sectors, which warrants our scientific exploration. Arriving at a clear concluding point of view on the role of foreign-owned banks and providing insights for future policy of CESEEs towards foreign presence in their banking sectors, this book should be of interest to academics, students, and policymakers.
