This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between financial openness and total factor productivity (TFP) growth using an extensive dataset that includes various measures of productivity and financial openness for a large sample of countries. We find that de jure capital account openness has a robust positive effect on TFP growth. The effect of de facto financial integration on TFP growth is less clear, but this masks an important and novel result. We find strong evidence that FDI and portfolio equity liabilities boost TFP growth while external debt is actually negatively

The research aims to investigate whether and how current international customary and treaty law applies to unconventional conflicts that characterize the 21st century. The study investigates whether new rules are required, or if current rules are still valid and can be used/adapted. The research aims to check whether and to what extent states abide International Law/International Humanitarian Law in dealing with unconventional conflicts, or if, through their course of conduct, states are attempting to create new customary law, or to adapt the existing instruments to the challenges that unconventional conflicts pose. The study investigates also whether these conducts abide customary international law and peremptory norms (jus cogens), that are not consent-based, but still are obligatory upon state and non-state actors. ; This study received financial support by the European Social Fund (ESF) and by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), Portugal, under grant SFRH/BD/136170/2018. The participation in this conference was funded by the Military University Institute (IUM), Armed Forces General Staff (EMGFA), Ministry of National Defence (MDN), Portugal.

Background and rationaleThe International Journal of Population Data Science (IJPDS) was launched in April 2017. It is an electronic, open-access, peer reviewed journal, publishing articles on all aspects of research, development and evaluation connected with about people and populations. It represents an internationally unique vehicle for publishing a broader range of articles than most journals in related fields by including in scope: working papers, methodological developments, informative reports, and other pieces of interest, in addition to more traditional manuscripts. As such, it provides a focal point (and a home) for all areas of Population Data Science. The creation of the IJPDS was inspired by the IPDLN, and places great importance on the viewpoints and activities of Network members to guide the development of the journal.
ObjectiveInformation dissemination – stakeholder consultation – informing future directionsThe main objective of this collaborative session is to present the audience with an up-to-date summary of journal strategy and progress to date, and to use this forum to gain further viewpoints to better target future directions of the journal to meet the needs of those working in Population Data Science.
PlanThe session will comprise 5 sections:

A short presentation overviewing the journal, its historical origins, its remit and relationship to the IPDLN and Network members. Primary objectives of the journal and performance metrics from the first 18 months of operation will be presented.
Gauging audience opinion on:

What they like/dislike about the journal
What is working well/not so well

Feedback and discussion on the survey results
Discussions with audience in groups, each focusing on some/all of the following questions, and a question of their own choice if something arises:

How can we make IJPDS articles more accessible to the general reader/non-specialist researcher?Example options: short video/audio; general reader summaries; infographics; other
How can we increase the reach of, and interest in, the journal?
Open answers
What would you suggest as a special issue?These topics for group discussion will be posed to the session audience with the aim of using the feedback in defining our priorities for the coming year.

Feedback and summing up

The groups will be asked to give their feedback.
Feedback from the discussions and voting will be used to inform the next steps for IJPDS.

Despite various efforts made by the international organisations over the decades, the idea of concluding an international agreement on foreign investment is still some way off. Due to the protest from the developing states, at this moment, international organisations do not have this item on their active agenda. The objective if this paper is to provide a thorough understanding of the law of foreign investment and the interplay between law and politics in regulating foreign investment. This paper examines two questions, namely, what are the efforts of the international organisations of regulating foreign investment? How has the law been interpreted over the years? Using doctrinal research method, this paper will critically analyse various international instruments in order to find out their effort to regulate FDI in host states. The findings of this study show that contribution made by the UN and other international organisations may not have led to a triumphant conclusion of a universal instrument but they have spelt out the main principles of law governing the treatment of foreign investment under international law.

Accidents, earthquakes, arson, vandalism, theft, violence, bullying... All members of society agree that ensuring the safety and security of children in schools is a priority, but achieving this objective is not a given. The number of problems and threats facing schools from within and without is vast, and in some countries the range of incidents is increasing. In response, the variety of approaches used to confront these challenges in society and education is growing too. To help understand the issues facing schools today, the OECD and the United States Department of Education jointly organised an international conference.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg verzeichnete Deutschland bis heute eine insgesamt positive Wanderungsbilanz. Die Migrantenströme unterliegen erheblichen zeitlichen Schwankungen und offenbaren eine Abhängigkeit von politischen und ökonomischen Entwicklungen, die ihre Ursachen in Deutschland, oftmals aber auch im Ausland haben. Im Verlauf der Jahrzehnte sind die Zusammensetzung der Zuwanderungen nach demographischen, soziokulturellen und ethnischen Beschreibungsmerkmalen sowie die Formen der Migration, z. B. dauerhaft, saisonal oder transnational, deutlich vielfältiger geworden. Integrations- und Migrationsbelange änderten sich, auch weil die räumliche Verteilung der Migrant(inn)en nach Zeitpunkt der Zuwanderung, Staatsangehörigkeit, Bildungsniveau oder Wanderungsmotiv charakteristische Muster von einer ausgesprochenen Konzentration bis zu einer relativ gleichmäßigen Verteilung über das Bundesgebiet aufweist. Maßgebliche Faktoren zur Erklärung der räumlichen Muster differieren von Gruppe zu Gruppe und hängen z. B. mit den migrationspolitischen und ökonomischen Bedingungen in Deutschland zum Zeitpunkt der Zuwanderung, den Motiven für die Migration, mit der Wirksamkeit von Migrantennetzwerken, mit staatlichen Maßnahmen zur Steuerung der räumlichen Verteilung oder mit der Qualifikation der Migrant(inn)en zusammen. ; Since the end of the Second World War Germany has recorded an overall positive balance of migration. The migration flows are subject to significant fluctuations and reveal a dependence on political and economic developments that have their roots in Germany, but often also abroad. Over the decades, the composition of immigrants according to demographic, social, cultural and ethnic characteristics as well as forms of migration, such as permanent, seasonal or transnational, have become more diverse. According to nationality, the migrants have a characteristic, independent spatial distribution compared to the total population as well as to that of other nations. Relevant factors explaining the spatial patterns differ from group to group and depend, for example, upon the migration policy and economic conditions in Germany at the time of immigration, the efficacy of migrant networks, government measures to control the spatial distribution, or migrants' skills.
