This paper focuses on the rights of custody under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. Article 5 of the Convention stipulates that rights of custody for the purposes of this Convention shall include rights relating to the care of the person for the child and, in particular, the right to determine the child?s place of residence. The existence of this right is assessed according to the law of the state in which the child was habitually resident before the removal or retention and in this regard no doubts are observed in practice. On the other hand, although article 5 of the Convention gives definition of the rights of custody, application of this provision is accompanied by different interpretations. Judicial and administrative authorities have doubts which rights parent must possess in order to be protected by the Convention. The paper concludes that it should be considered that a parent who does not live with the child, but has the right of veto over the child?s international relocation or his/her consent is required to change the child?s residence, has the rights of custody and can apply for the prompt return of a child under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.
The world of wine encompasses endless variety. Consumers want to understand what makes one bottle of wine different from another; vintners need to know how to communicate what makes their product distinctive. Drawing on a decade of fieldwork in Italy and France as well as interviews with critics and analysis of market data, Giacomo Negro, Michael T. Hannan, and Susan Olzak provide an unprecedented sociological account of the dynamics of wine markets. They demonstrate how the concepts of genre and collective identity illuminate producers' choices, whether they are selling traditional or nonconventional wines.Winemakers face a fundamental choice: produce an existing style and develop an identity as a proponent of tradition or embrace foreign, new, or emerging categories and be seen as an innovator. To explain this dilemma, Negro, Hannan, and Olzak develop the notion of wine genres, or shared understandings among producers and the public. Genres emerge through the social structure of production, including factors such as group solidarity, social cohesion, and collective action, and become key reference points for critics and consumers. Wine Markets features case studies of the creation of a modern wine genre and a countermovement against modernism in Piedmont, the failure of producers of Brunello di Montalcino in Tuscany to define a clear collective identity, and the emergence of the biodynamic wine movement in Alsace. This book not only offers keen sociological insight into the wine world but also sheds new light on the logic of markets and organizations more broadly

This paper discusses the 'caring' and 'controlling' aspects of social workers' roles and some ways in which role conflict and ambiguity are dealt with in client-social worker interaction. The ways in which individuals interpret each other's behaviour and reveal their motives and the meanings of their communications are considered and some studies of client-social worker relationships are reviewed. Practitioners' perspectives on social work are examined with reference to certain aspects of the relationship between probation officers and their clients. A study of the views of one hundred probationers and their officers is reported: it was found that a large number of probationers saw 'care' and 'control' as complementary. For probation officers the dual function was regarded as problematic: their ways of dealing with this role conflict and dissonance are described and discussed. The care and control debate is regarded as continuing and it is argued that attempting to separate these functions of social work is questionable both in principle and in practice because of possible failure of attempts to meet clients' needs and to protect their interests and those of other citizens. Further, in carrying out these functions it is suggested that social workers should continue to adopt and articulate a critical stance so that they can resist pressures to exercise control when this can be shown to be undesirable.

This paper discusses some aspects of the economic and geographic look at the geological structure of northeastern Montenegro. The geological structure of part all three groups of rocks metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary. When viewing certain kinds of rock and emphasized their economic importance. The considered area has excellent possibilities for development of mining, particularly as Berane basin contains significant reserves of brown coal and lignite (176.231.197 tons). Since metallic materials have be discovered bearing the following metals: lead, zinc, copper, iron and pyrite. A deposit of non-metallic building materials: gravel, sand and decorative stone. Northeastern Montenegro has exceptional opportunities for the development of industry, whose focus should be about n Berane coal production in the basin, which would cause intense regrouping and integration of industrial enterprises, which would undoubtedly affect the entire economic life of the considered geographic space.

This article presents an overview of the legal and policy issues affecting refugee and asylum‐seeking women in European host societies. First, it explores the unique types of persecution experienced by women and shows that the asylum determination process, along with the status of women relative to men, mitigates against the effective protection of women. The legal basis for asylum, the evidential requirements and the procedural norms all reduce the protection which is likely to be conferred upon asylum‐seeking women. Second, the article provides an overview of responses to female refugees and asylum‐seekers in European countries of asylum. Although there are differences between countries, there is also a large degree of uniformity. For example, there is a lack of recognition and understanding of the diversity and the range of experiences which refugees bring with them, including different social and cultural norms. Moreover, European policies do not provide special provisions to facilitate the settlement of refugee women and instead place barriers to their social and economic participation. Third, the article examines policies for family reunion in different countries and shows that such unfavourable and unsympathetic policies mitigate against the settlement of refugee women. Finally, the article argues that if refugee and asylum‐seeking women are to have their cases recognized and to be successfully settled, then there needs to be a complete rethink of legislation and policy in Europe.
