Usled nedostatka obuhvatnih, sistematičnih i preciznih podataka o međunarodnim migracijama u Srbiji, te analiza migracionih trendova, njihovih faktora i posledica, tekst ima za cilj da ponudi pregled savremenih međunarodnih migracionih tokova u Srbiji. Međunarodni migracioni tokovi se posmatraju u kontekstu polu-periferijskog položaja Srbije u globalnom sistemu, kao i sputanih procesa socio-ekonomske transformacije i razvoja. Migracije se analiziraju na makro nivou, prema ključnim dimenzijama kao što su intenzitet, pravci tokova i karakteristike migranata. Analiza je utemeljena u osnovnoj klasifikaciji na tokove iz Srbije i prema Srbiji (emigracija i imigracija), uključujući i one koje sadrže obe komponente predstavljajući tranzitne migracije iz nerazvijenih prema razvijenim zemljama preko teritorije Srbije. Unutar ove osnovne podele, migracioni tokovi se proučavaju diferencirano u zavisnosti od njihovog legalnog statusa, onako kako je definisan aktuelnim međunarodnim i nacionalnim normativnim okvirom, kao i u zavisnosti od razloga za migriranje. Pored analize glavnih migratornih trendova, pažnja je u tekstu usmerena i na savremene politike upravljanja migracijama. ; In the absence of comprehensive, systematic and precize data on international migration in Serbia, and consequently the analysis of migration trends, their drivers and outcomes, the objective of this paper is to offer the review of contemporary migration flows in Serbia. International migration flows are observed in the context of semi-peripheral position of Serbia in the global system, and hindered transformation and development. Migrations are analyzed at the macro level, according to the key dimensions, such as the intensity, directions of flows and characteristics of migrants. The analysis is grounded in the basic classification to outward and inward migration flows (emigration and immigration), including some that include both aspects as they are transit migrations from underdeveloped to developed countries through the territory of Serbia. Within this basic division, migration flows are analyzed separately depending on their legal status as defined by present international and national normative frameworks, as well as by motivation for migration. In addition to the analysis of main migratory trends, the attention is focused to the actual migration management policies.

The banking and financial sector has expanded dramatically in the last forty years, and the consequences of this accelerated growth have been felt by people around the world. European Banks and the Rise of International Finance examines the historical origins of the financialised world we live in by analysing the transformations in world finance which occurred in the decade from the first oil crisis of 1973, until the debt crisis of 1982. This a crucial and formative decade for understanding the modern financial landscape, but it is still mostly unexplored in economic and financial history. The availability of new archival evidence has allowed for the re-examination of issues such as the progressive privatisation of international financial flows to Less Developed Countries, especially in Latin America and South-East Asia, and its impact on the expansion of the European banking sector, and for the development of an invaluable financial and political history. This book is well suited for those interested in monetary economics and economic history, as well as those studying international political economy, banking history and Financial history.

The 1949 Geneva Conventions and their 1977 Additional Protocols require
States Parties to disseminate the content of these humanitarian treaties as
widely as possible in their respective countries. Of course, their inclusion
in military instruction is indispensable to ensure their implementation in
time of armed conflict. But it is equally important to promote knowledge of
humanitarian law among those whom it is intended to protect — the civilian
population — as well as among those who have to apply it — public officials
of various ministries. At the same time, political leaders and
decision-makers must also be familiar with that law, so that they are aware
of its relevance, realism and mode of operation if and when a conflict
should break out. Therefore, to ensure respect for it — and also to promote
its development — it is an essential task to include international
humanitarian law in higher education. The ICRC has taken a number of steps
to achieve just that in the South Asian region.

Abstract The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it aims to investigate the increased interest in health as an important dimension of the foreign policy and diplomatic concerns together with the emergence of a new framework for regional health integration and regional health diplomacy. Second, it seeks to understand the role and practices of new regional blocs in the field of health and whether they are conducting to the emergence of new strategies for addressing health regional policies in South America. The regional policy process relates to health as a right. Thus, some practices and processes in social policy are setting new standards for political and social cohesion in the construction of new regionalism. Health crosses national, regional, and global agendas in a multi-directional fashion, rather than via one-way, top-down policy transfer. A special feature of Unasur is upholding regional health sovereignty despite the unique fact that member countries retain national autonomy. Unasur has projected foreign policy that promotes social values in ways that seem innovative. Experience as Unasur shows that regional organisms can become a game changer in global diplomacy and an influential actor in the international agenda.

Abstract'Legitimacy' is commonly cited as one of three fundamental mechanisms of social control within both domestic politics and international society. However, despite growing attention to the legitimacy of global governance, little consideration has been given to the identity of the political communities that must grant legitimacy to an international organisation or to the conditions under which legitimacy is valuable for the functioning of that organisation. In raising and responding to these questions, this article rejects the argument that actors must gain legitimacy among all subject social constituencies within their political realm of action. Instead, the importance of legitimacy within a particular constituency is a variable. The article labels this variable a 'legitimacy nexus' and outlines five factors that are hypothesised to contribute to calibrating a legitimacy nexus. The plausibility of the proposed schema is explored through discussion of the role of legitimacy in the trade regime and analysis of the origins of the International Labour Organization's anomalous tripartite representative structure.
