The international business has been consistently represented in the world economy for more than 150 years and has been continuously increasing and strengthening all the time, making it today the most important economic and globalization factor that undoubtedly dominates the world economy. It is characterized primarily by the so-called. multinational corporations that operate through their affiliates in several countries with the main goal of maintaining and increasing their profits. They are now present practically in all countries of the world, and it is estimated that their business activities now contribute to generating the global GDP of about 75%. Such a progressive multinational business generally bases itself on highly competent management and the use of the latest and increasingly productive technologies as a materialized expression of the development of applied economic and social sciences. Within all this, regarding the world-established freedom of movement of capital and labor, national states are making increasing efforts to regulate the breakthrough and functioning of an international business in their territories in the interest of their progress.In this context, in order to regulate the operation of the international business, it has been selected to study the treatment of international business in Serbia, as a small transition country, with the results thus obtained being representative for all the countries of the present day. Consequently, the focus of these studies is the attitude of the state of Serbia and its higher education towards the emerging international business. In this paper, with the help of an adequate questionnaire and respondents from higher education institutions, the attitude of the state and higher education towards the international business is considered, where adequate breakthrough of the positive and inert suppression of the negative activity of that business is ascertained. The positive treatment of this business is reflected in the state stimulation of its attraction in order to raise the level of GDP and employment, while the negative sides refer to the insufficient protection of national economic entities, the poor protection of the available natural resources, and the insufficient study of that business in higher education system of Serbia.On this basis, the paper presents suggestions that the state of Serbia and its higher education should even more constructively treat international business in the function of its further economic prosperity. Of course, all these results are not representative for Serbia only, but practically for all other countries.

In the last three decades, museums around all over the world have been engaged in increasingly complex international dynamics, which partly led to renew and reinvent themselves. In South Korea also, the opening of museums to their international environment by the 1980s − along with the Seoul Asian Games (1986) and the Seoul Olympic Games (1988) − was a powerful factor that have influenced the transformation of national museum landscape. Since then, Korean museums, whose activities and programs were so far based on the national traditions and structures, have gradually begun to redefine themselves, adopting the so-called "modernist international" standards. While this phenomenon intensifies in the current age of cultural consumption and globalization, so far, there has been very little research reported on the evolution and the identity politics of the South Korean museums in relation to the nation's internationalization movement. Focusing on the remaking project of the National Museum of Contemporary Art of South Korea (MMCA) in the 1980s, the article highlights the dynamic interaction between the national and the international dimension of the project, participating in the symbolic re-imagination of nation as global player. ; Au cours des trois dernières décennies qui les ont vus se consolider, les musées du monde entier n'ont eu de cesse de se penser par rapport à des dynamiques internationales de plus en plus complexes, qui contribuent en partie à les renouveler et les redéfinir. En Corée du Sud, l'ouverture des musées sur leur environnement international dès les années 1980 − parallèlement à la tenue des Jeux asiatiques (1986) et olympiques (1988) − a été un puissant facteur de transformation du paysage muséal. Depuis lors, les musées coréens, dont les activités et programmations étaient jusqu'ici essentiellement construites sur la base des traditions et des structures nationales, se sont progressivement mis à se renouveler et à se lancer dans une série de projets d'internationalisation, adoptant les normes «internationales» des musées. Alors que ce phénomène s'est intensifié avec le temps via un processus de mondialisation croissante, néanmoins, on ne sait finalement que peu de choses sur l'histoire et la politique des musées sud-coréens en relation avec le mouvement d'internationalisation du pays, pas plus qu'au sein de la rhétorique nationale. C'est donc sur cette question que se focalisera cet article. Centré sur le projet de construction du nouveau Musée national d'art contemporain de Corée du Sud dans la ville de Gwacheon, en banlieue sud de Séoul, dans les années 1980, l'article mettra en lumière l'interaction dynamique entre le national et l'international ayant présidé à ce projet, participant ainsi au processus symbolique d'une reconstruction imaginaire de la nation.

This book presents an analysis of the various transformation processes at work in the international migratory dynamic of Mexicans as a consequence of the 2008 international economic crisis and the implementation of an increasingly strict American migration policy. Employing a methodology that combines qualitative and quantitative tools, the main findings of this work indicate that the international migration of Mexicans is moving towards a new phase, an era of "contraction and disengagement" that is characterized by the confluence of multiple changes with repercussions on the functioning of international migration as a socioeconomic strategy at the family and migrant community levels. .

In El Salvador, the banking safety net emergency liquidity assistance, resolution and deposit insurance- faces particular challenges given it operate in the context of official dollarization. The economy was officially dollarized in 2000 with the adoption of the law on financial integration and of the United States (US) dollar as legal tender. Dollarization constrains a central bank's ability to act as a lender of last resort (LOLR) and provide emergency liquidity assistance (ELA). This note discusses the weaknesses of the current framework and recommendations to ensure the safety net functions more effectively and efficiently. To address systemic liquidity risk in the context of official dollarization, the Banco Central de Reservas (BCR) should be provided with more powers and funds to provide emergency liquidity assistance to banks. The bank resolution scheme, which has not been tested, and the deposit insurance fund, which has insufficient funds, both need to be strengthened. Appropriate roles and formal mechanisms to monitor and manage systemic risk and events should be put in place. However the roles and responsibilities of the various institutions involved in the safety net are not always consistent with their objectives, powers, and mandates, while a well-specified strategy to preserve the stability of the system (e.g., with clear responsibilities for monitoring systemic risks and taking macro prudential decisions) and definition or formal measurement of systemic risk have not yet been established. Furthermore, coordination with foreign supervisors of international banks does not include designing contingency plans to address a possible cross-border event. This paper is divided into following four parts: part one is introduction; part two gives systemic liquidity management and emergency liquidity assistance; part three is bank resolution and deposit insurance; and part four gives crisis management arrangements.

Family firm internationalization has become a topic of interest over the last few decades. However, there has been surprisingly little research about the actual international business decision-making in the family firm literature. The purpose of this article is to highlight specific family firm factors which affect the international business decision-making. Based on examples on international market entry, target market choice, entry mode choice, and entry timing decisions, it is suggested that long-term and regional orientation, knowledge-base and its transfer, bifurcation-bias, and perseverance of family managers are important factors affecting international business decision-making among family SMEs.
