The article analyzes the salutogenic approach in psychology, reveals the role of an individual's salutogenic attitudes to help counteract stress impact. The relationship between the constructs of salutogenesis and an individual's hardiness are analyzed. An individual's salutogenic orientation is understood by us as his/her value attitude to his/her own psychological health; and health is considered not as an absent illness, but as a state in the continuum between mental disorder and psychological well-being. The integral indicator of a valuable attitude to health is a sense of coherence as a special structure of attitudes that includes three interrelated components: comprehensibility, manageability, meaningfulness. The study purpose is to determine empirically the salutogenic factors of an individual's hardiness. The study used the following methods: C. Riff's Psychological Well-Being Scale; A. Antonovsky's sense of connectedness scale, S. Maddi's Hardiness Test; Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory; Ways of Coping questionnaire by S. Folkman and R.S. Lazarus. The study sample consisted of 183 people, 48 men and 135 women; average age was 37.7 ± 11.1 years. The correlations among the components of salutogenetic orientation, hardiness, coping strategies and time perspective were determined empirically. The resources of an individual's general resistance, which alleviate stress impact and contribute to the individual's optimal functioning, are related to understanding and assessment of a situation by the individual, existing acknowledged life goals, the ability to influence life events, one's own capabilities understood by the individual and existing positive relationships with others.

'Die Erfolge der wirtschaftlichen Integration in Europa sind für die Länder Südost- und Ostasiens zugleich Ansporn und Herausforderung. Dabei werden die Vorteile des europäischen Integrationsweges durch die schwere Finanzkrise noch unterstrichen. Diese Krise hat - anders als bei ähnlichen Fällen in der Vergangenheit - eben keine Währungskrise ausgelöst. Für die Länder Südost- und Ostasiens ist aber nicht nur die erfolgreiche europäische Integration ein Anlass, die eigenen Wirtschaftsbeziehungen zu hinterfragen und über ein anderes Modell für ihre künftige Zusammenarbeit nachzudenken. Die Neuordnung der regionalen Finanzbeziehungen ist auch eine Spätfolge der Asienkrise von 1997/98. Die vom Internationalen Währungsfonds (IWF) schlecht gemanagte Krise hat in den damals direkt und indirekt betroffenen asiatischen Staaten dauerhafte Vorbehalte gegenüber den westlichen Industrieländern hinterlassen. Die bittere Erfahrung, in einer nur teilweise selbstverschuldeten Notlage keine wirksame Unterstützung erhalten zu haben, belastet die Beziehungen zum Westen bis heute und liefert zugleich einen Anreiz, in der Finanzpolitik neue, eigene Wege zu beschreiten. Unabhängig von den Ergebnissen der geplanten Weltfinanzgipfel werden asiatische Volkswirtschaften den eingeschlagenen Weg der Vertiefung ihrer finanzpolitischen Zusammenarbeit vermutlich fortsetzen und ausbauen.'

This contribution revisits the discussions undertaken between 1959 and 1974 during the holding of the five Conferences of Latin American Law Schools in our region. With no intention to present a comprehensive historical reconstruction of these meetings, this study aims at shedding light on past dialogues on legal education in Latin America. In a similar vein, this contribution will not discuss how effectively the recommendations reached at these meetings have changed the organization and the activities of Latin American law schools, but it will explore past interrogations on the role of law in political projects of transformation. The resumption of these discussions is important to support innovative reflections on international legal education in Latin America today because changes were proposed based on a Latin American sensibility, revealing the need to link political projects to pedagogical reform initiatives. Considering that historical studies in international law are necessarily anachronistic, as stated by Anne Orford in The past as law or history? The relevance of imperialism for modern international law, this contribution approaches the history of discussions on legal education in Latin America as a necessary effort related to the current interrogations articulated in the context of the project "Rethinking International Legal Education in Latin America" (redial). ; Este trabalho tem como objetivo revisitar os questionamentos articulados no âmbito das cinco Conferências de Faculdades de Direito Latino-Americanas realizadas entre 1959 e 1974 em nossa região. Sem pretender uma reconstrução histórica exaustiva sobre esses encontros, este estudo busca lançar luz em antigas discussões sobre ensino jurídico na América Latina. De forma semelhante, não se busca discutir o quanto efetivamente foi alterado na organização e nas atividades das faculdades de direito a partir das recomendações adotadas nas referidas conferências, mas sim explorar questionamentos pretéritos sobre o papel do direito em projetos políticos de transformação. A retomada dessas discussões é importante para embasar reflexões inovadoras sobre o ensino do direito internacional na América Latina na atualidade, pois mudanças foram propostas a partir de uma sensibilidade latino-americana, revelando-se a necessidade de atrelar projetos políticos a iniciativas de reforma pedagógica. Considerando que estudos históricos em direito internacional necesariamente contém um certo elemento de anacronismo, tal como afirmado por Anne Orford em ¿El passado como derecho o como historia? La relevancia del imperialismo para el derecho internacional moderno, esta contribuição aborda a dimensão histórica dos debates sobre ensino jurídico na América Latina como esforço necessário para as reflexões empreendidas atualmente no contexto do projeto "Repensar la educación en derecho internacional en América Latina" (redial).
