Im Oktober 2006 wurde erstmalig eine Vollerhebung bei den Studierenden der School of International Business (SIB) der Hochschule Reutlingen durchgeführt. Die Befragung richtete sich an die Studierenden aller Studiengänge der SIB und verfolgte in erster Linie das Ziel, die Einstellung der Studierenden zu ihrer Fakultät zu ermitteln und zu quantifizieren. Die Ergebnisse dieser Status-Quo-Analyse dienen darüber hinaus als Anhaltspunkt für die bedürfnisorientierte zukünftige Ausrichtung der Fakultät. 662 immatrikulierte SIB-Studierende erhielten die Gelegenheit, den Fragebogen auszufüllen. Mit einer Gesamtrücklaufquote von 44,0% ist die Studie repräsentativ für die Studierendenschaft der SIB und zeichnet ein klares Bild von den Meinungen und Einstellungen der Studierenden zu ihrer Fakultät. Im folgenden Beitrag werden ausgewählte Ergebnisse dieser empirischen Untersuchung vorgestellt.

AN APPROACH TO INTERNATIONAL AGENDA-SETTING IS OFFERED THROUGH A STUDY OF THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION'S ATTEMPT TO REMOVE NORTH-SOUTH RELATIONS FROM THE INTERNATIONAL AGENDA IN THE EARLY 1980S. THE ADMINISTRATION INITIALLY FAILED TO SECURE ITS DESIRED AGENDA CHANGE. THIS ARTICLE SUGGESTS THAT IT IS THROUGH AGENDA ACCESS POINTS THAT AGENDA POLITICS PROCEEDS. CONTROL OF OR LOCATION AT THESE POINTS IS NECESSARY FOR AGENDA SUCCESS.

In the late 18th and 19th, and the early 20th centuries invaluable contributions were made by lawyers to the establishment of international law in the United States. Their contributions took various forms, but all helped establish, clarify, or disseminate understanding of this branch of the law. Because of the ways international law develops, these people ranged from statesmen who established practices and doctrines in the international field that ultimately became the law, to those who participated in the development of important treaties and international agreements; and from judges who rendered significant decisions on points of international law, to scholars and others who were responsible for the gradual evolution of education and literature in the field.

The Treaty of Lisbon's grant of exclusive competence to the European Union for foreign direct investment (FDI) matters signals the beginning of a profound shift in the global landscape of FDI regulation as the international investment policies of twenty-seven states begin to be consolidated and harmonized at a regional level. The Union's first steps in developing its international investment policy, however, have been uncertain. The process thus far has lacked transparency and has been marked by significant disagreement in approach and substance among the European institutions. Among the EU's decision-making bodies there is disagreement over fundamental issues such as whether to develop a model investment treaty text and how to strike a balance between the protection of investors and the preservation of host state regulatory discretion. This article evaluates the key issues facing the European Union and places them within their international context.

Summary
In October 1988, an ordinance of the Finnish government created the Committee for International Information (Kansainvälisen tiedottamisen neuvottelukunta, or Kantine). Kantine came as the last of a series of Cold War efforts to centrally define an image of Finland fit for foreign consumption, and to establish the communication methods through which state authorities and their partners could use this image as an economic and political asset. Established under the coordination of the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kantine acts as a window into the evolution of Finnish national image management and its state at the end of the Cold War. However, the context of the late 1980s and the desire of Kantine's members to use the committee as the platform for a 'wide societal debate on Finland in the twenty-first century' gave it a broader scope than other 'national image committees' that had preceded it since 1945. This article will place Kantine in the evolution of Finland's national image management and image policy, and will summarize its work and consequences.

With the advent of globalization, internationalization has attained high significance amidst countries, in different industries and sectors, one of them being the higher education sector. This paper examines an emerging mode of internationalization of higher education viz., Collaborative Online International Learning and studies its adaptation in BRICS countries, the consequences of the same whether this mode is efficient or deficient in each of these countries. Consequently, this paper compares these countries to determine which of them have a comparative advantage with respect to adaptation of COIL and some of the areas in which the remaining countries can bring about improvements. Said comparison has been done on the basis of four parameters, viz., (i) policy backing; (ii) financial viability; (iii) linguistic barriers; and (iv) readiness to undertake COIL projects. Through this analysis, the paper posits that: Brazil is much ahead than its contemporaries with respect to the first parameter; India and South Africa lag as far as the second parameter is concerned; China and South Africa are not as linguistically prepared as their contemporaries; and lastly, that Russia shows the higher reluctance among its contemporaries with respect to undertaking COIL projects. Lastly, the paper recommends that COIL as a method for developing cooperation and collaboration between BRICS countries, be among the central foci in upcoming BRICS summits.
