В ходе исследования, выполненного авторами, была выявлена определенная корреляция между уровнем развития сельских территорий и состоянием сельскохозяйственного производства. Изучение факторов, воздействующих на развитие отрасли и сельских территорий в целом, показало, что основным является его техническое переоснащение, которое, как правило, влечет за собой внедрение современных технологий производства и повышение квалификации работников.In a study performed by the authors, it was revealed a certain correlation between the level of development of rural areas and the state of agricultural production. The study of factors affecting the development of the industry and rural areas as a whole, has shown that it is a major retooling, which usually entails the introduction of modern production technologies and skills development.

Carbon leakage is a major concern for policymakers involved with environmental initiatives such as the European Union's emissions trading scheme and similar cap-and-trade proposals in the United States, Australia, and elsewhere. This paper provides a framework for understanding the drives underlying carbon leakage at the level of an individual sector in which only a subset of firms is covered by such regulation. It provides simple formulae to estimate leakage rates using information on industry characteristics that is typically available to the analyst. Illustrative estimates for the steel industry in the EU ETS suggest carbon leakage of 25-30% or (much) higher - unless environmental-efficiency improvements by regulated firms are substantial.

My paper discusses the ineffectiveness of California state law to address socially inefficient municipal boundaries. By focusing on the recent struggles of a group of industrial suburbs in Southeast Los Angeles County that includes the City of Vernon, the paper demonstrates how a fragmented municipal topography worsens socioeconomic decline, hazardous land uses, and a lack of political accountability. Next, I analyze California statutory and constitutional law on the subject, demonstrating its ineffectiveness in encouraging boundary modifications to address the inequities facing the communities of Southeast Los Angeles County. Finally, I suggest legislative and constitutional modifications to encourage greater political accountability and socioeconomic equity in California's municipal topography.

Due to the economic instability the problem of development of mechanisms of integration of state and private business became even more important. The paper presents the evaluation of the effectiveness of public-private partnerships (PPPs). It is concluded that adoption of the new Federal law on PPP will increase the efciency of interaction between participants in PPP projects ; В связи с экономической нестабильностью проблема разработки реальных механизмов интеграции государства и частного бизнеса приобрела еще большую актуальность. В работе предложена оценка эффективности государственно-частных партнерств (ГЧП). Сделан вывод о том, что принятие нового фе-дерального закона о ГЧП позволит повысить эффективность взаимодействия участников при реализации проектов ГЧП

Although the recently approved Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) explicitly mention access to water, health and education as universally guaranteed human rights, access to affordable and sufficient food is not given such recognition. The SDGs road map assumes that market mechanisms will suffice to secure nutritious and safe food for all. We question how and why the right to food has disappeared from such an international agreement and we will provide insights on the likely causes of this and the options to make good on such a regrettable omission. Analysis of political stances of relevant western stakeholders, such as the United States (US) and the European Union (EU), is also included.

"Though states frequently attempt to formalise and regulate militias, there has been very little research whether or not such a formalisation can, indeed, improve the performance of militias in terms of greater security provision and reduction of abuses against the population. Using original quantitative and qualitative data from North-East Afghanistan, we show that the integration of unregulated anti-Taliban militias into the Afghan Local Police (ALP) in late 2011 and early 2012 has, indeed, led to an improved performance of these militias in the eyes of the population: fear of militias dropped, while their perceived positive security impact increased when compared to their assessment prior to the establishment of ALP."

This paper examines Heidegger's critique of Carl Schmitt during the Nazi period, focusing on Heidegger's notes for seminars on Hegel's Philosophy of Right. Taking up Heidegger's and Schmitt's critique of Hegel, Heidegger argues that the friend/enemy distinction Schmitt makes is still grounded in a humanistic liberalism, and so in the very Hegelian subjectivity that Schmitt claims to reject. Heidegger then turns to the question of dikē, and shows how there is a more originary grounding for the polis and the state in a concept Heidegger develops from his analysis of Anaximander. Grounding this is the question which concerns which God (or which goddess) grounds any past, present, or future "political theology".

This article attempt to discuss the accommodation of social sciences into the study of Prophetic traditions (hadith) as part of the integration of science and religion. In this integration process, hadith takes a role as material object and benefit formal object from a wide range of social sciences, such as sociology, anthropology, geography, history, economics, psychology, as well political science. Thus, social sciences may in part help the practice of Hadith to formulate more contextual meaning that has been applied in various times and places. Take an instance,the contextual meaning of "Quraisy" with people who have influence, gain fanatical support, and have the capability and quality in holding the position as head of state.

In this introduction to the Special Issue "Empirical Studies on Investment Disputes", we offer a new heuristic model to structure the thinking about investment arbitration. Investment arbitration is presented here as a political system in a sense inspired by David Easton's landmark theory: it transforms the input of key actors (namely states, investors, arbitrators, and arbitration institutions) into output (namely arbitral awards taken in the aggregate), with feedback loops from output to input, leading to or calling for adjustments or other reactions from these actors. We use this model to review some of the leading existing research and bring together key insights offered by the contributions to the issue.

В статье представлен анализ государственных программ поддержки и стимулирования внешнеэкономической деятельности малых и средних предприятий в Республике Армения. В ходе анализа мер, принимаемые государством для поддержки этих предприятий, выявлены основные проблемы, с которыми сталкиваются армянские предприниматели, и предложен комплекс мер для решения этих проблем. ; The article presents the former and current state support programs to promote foreign economic activity of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in the Republic of Armenia. Analyzing the measures taken by the government to support SMEs to enter foreign markets, the main problems faced by the Armenian entrepreneurs are revealed and a package of measures is proposed to address these problems.

Do financial crises promote or hamper transatlantic regulatory cooperation in banking? This article argues that financial crises have an impact upon the alignment of regulatory preferences of the United States (US) and the European Union (EU), causing an 'ebb and flow' in transatlantic cooperation. When EU-US preferences are broadly aligned in periods of financial stability, transatlantic regulatory cooperation is intense. It is relatively easy for the EU and US to agree on market-friendly regulation promoted by banks. When preferences are different, especially in the context and aftermath of the exogenous shock of financial crises, transatlantic cooperation is more problematic because crises re-assert the importance of nationally embedded patterns of market organisation.

Recently, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued decision C-131/12, which was considered a major breakthrough in Internet data protection. The general public welcomed this decision as an actualization of the controversial "right to be forgotten", which was introduced in the initial draft for a new regulation on data protection and repeatedly amended, due to objections by various Member States and major companies involved in massive processing of personal data. This paper attempts to delve into the content of that decision and examine if it indeed involves the right to be forgotten, if such a right exists at all, and to what extent it can be stated and enforced.

The ways in which elite individuals perpetuate their power and privilege and so reinforce existing social inequalities within developing country contexts are analysed in this article. I argue that in highly politically and economically unstable environments, socialising between the uppermost bureaucratic, political, military and business elite serves to create intimacy and obligation between individuals who may be functionally useful to one another, and strengthens and reinforces elite privilege. In examining the motivations that drive the ways in which elites socialise, I contend that the blending of affective and instrumental relationships is reflective of the deep insecurity experienced by elites in contexts where they cannot expect their power and privilege to be upheld by the state
