This operative note seeks to highlight a recent judicial decision and the rights at stake in the case we have discussed. This is nothing less than the right of access to higher education, on the one hand, and university autonomy, on the other, both of which are enshrined in our national constitution. In what follows, we will try to take a brief look at the case in question, the judgment of the court of first instance, the prosecutor's appeal, our comments on the point and a preliminary opinion in which we state that the court decision in question is contrary to express provisions of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

The lifting of international nuclear-related sanctions on Iran in January 2016 was enthusiastically
welcomed by the Islamic Republic's neighbours in the South Caucasus.
Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia have hoped that Iran's rapprochement with the West
and the unfreezing of some hundred billion dollars worth of assets abroad would lead
Iran to step up its trade and investment activities in the Caucasus, especially in the
energy and transport sectors. However, the anticipated benefits have been slow in coming,
as Iran has shown reluctance to fund infrastructural projects in the Caucasus. On
the other hand, there have been positive developments in trade and tourism flows
and the power transmission sector. On the whole, although Iran is interested in closer
economic cooperation with the South Caucasus, it relies on the region's countries to
provide the momentum and secure the resources necessary to achieve this goal. (Autorenreferat)

A review essay on books by (1) Thomas Friedman, The Lexus and the Olive Tree: Understanding Globalization (New York: Farrar, Straus, Giroux, 1999); (2) James Mittelman, The Globalization Syndrome: Transformation and Resistance (Princeton: Princeton U Press, 2000); (3) Richard Rosecrance, The Rise of the Virtual State: Wealth and Power in the Coming Century (New York: Basic Books, 2000); & (4) Williamn Shawcross, Deliver Us from Evil: Peacekeepers, Warlords, and a World of Endless Conflict (New York: Simon & Shuster). It is contended that contemporary geopolitical literature has reached four conclusions concerning globalization: the world is experiencing economic & cultural shrinking; the international community has become more interconnected; the increased interconnectedness of people has created new problems; globalization is alternately viewed as dangerous & creating new opportunities. Shawcross's text is welcomed for identifying the accomplishments achieved by the interconnected international community, eg, using the international legal system to judge individuals accused to committing genocide. Friedman's assertion that global capitalism assists in the prevention of international conflicts is discussed; in addition, Friedman is defended against claims that he fails to acknowledge the negative consequences of global capitalism. Rosecrance's contention that economic forces will replace political influences as the principal actors in international relations is supported. Mittelman's study is praised for demonstrating that globalization processes are not uniform, can be resisted, & are creating a multitude of problems for women, the environment, & population stability.

This study is part of PIBIC / UFC / FUNCAP project entitled: "The continuing formation of teachers in the context of democratization of the school management in municipal network of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil", which aims to identify actions and proposals involving the continuing formation process of teachers from different training areas. This is a qualitative approach research; the instruments used were documentary research and semi-structured interviews with teachers and other components of the school community. In the data analysis the theoretical basis of support is the historical dialectic, to try to reach an understanding of the investigated reality. As partial results with the objects, eleven schools of the municipal network, and their segments, it appears that teacher formation policies and actions in progress signal to the alignment of education and training to meet the legal powers, international organizations and neoliberal ideology. ; Este estudio es parte integrante del proyecto PIBIC / UFC / FUNCAP, titulado: "La formación continuada de los profesores en el contexto de democratización de la gestión escolar en la red municipal de Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil", que tiene por objetivo identificar las acciones y propuestas que involucra Los procesos de formación continuada de profesores a partir de los diferentes espacios formativos.

Globalization has brought about the collapse of the bipolar system of international relations, which was the foundation of the structure of global security based on the technological means of mass production, which predominated at that time. The change from the mass to the flexible way of production has made it necessary to build a new system of global security on the technological resources of flexible production and the political implications of globalization. There are many indications that it was just this new system of global security that began to take shape the day the first NATO bomb fell on Serbia, which means that it came into being: in South- Eastern Europe i.e. in the region that at the beginning of the 20th century ignited the fuse of the world wars and which would, if not for this intervention, still pose a threat. The intervention, a novelty in the postwar international relations, and which consequently brought up a plethora of questions, paved the way to the realization of the project Europe for the 21th century. That project, based on adjusting international relations to globalization, whose outlines are becoming visible in the region of South- Eastern Europe, is in Croatia's interest, and is the major guarantor of the preservation of its independence and sovereignty.

This paper expresses the author's critical view on certain provisions of the Arrest Convention 1952, particularly in respect of lack of uniformity in application of the Convention's Rules by the Courts in member countries, inconsistency in implementation of the Rules into member countries' legislations, the position of shipbuilders who have been left out of the scope of the Convention and open questions regarding jurisdiction. The author also suggest that furher discussion on the subject should take place in Croatia in order to initiate necessary amendments to the Convention and encourage a review of Croatian law and practice of arrest of ships. ; Ovaj rad izražava autorov kritički pogled na određene odredbe Međunarodne konvencije za izjednačavanje nekih pravila o privremenom zaustavljanju pomorskih brodova, iz 1952. (Konvencija o zaustavljanju). Posebnu je pozornost autor obratio na nepostojanje jedinstvenosti u primjeni odredaba Konvencije od strane sudova zemalja članica, na nedosljednost u inkorporiranju odredaba u unutrašnje zakonodavstvo država članica, na položaj brodograditelja koji su ostali izvan primjene Konvencije te na neka nerazjašnjena pitanja glede sudske nadležnosti. Autor predlaže da se rasprava o ovoj temi u Hrvatskoj usmjeri na predlaganje izmjena Konvencije i na poticanje pregleda hrvatskog prava i prakse o materiji zaustavljanja brodova.
