Since the Frontex Border Agency's establishment in 2004, its activities have foregrounded the complexity and difficulty of protecting the human rights of those seeking access to the European Union. In this connection, protection from refoulement should be paramount in the Agency's work. By navigating through the intricacies of Frontex's structure and working methods, this book answers abiding questions: which circumstances would trigger European Union responsibility if violations were to occur in Frontex's joint operations? What is the legal standing of the principle of non-refoulement in relation to Frontex's activities? Can Frontex be entrusted with an exclusive search and rescue mandate? This book offers a theoretical and practical insight into the legislative intricacies of Frontex's work, examining the responsibility of the EU, and scrutinising the interaction of international law and EU law with a focus on the principle of non-refoulement.

Emerging markets are becoming a major force in global private equity. International investors are attracted to the general storyline of private equity in emerging markets due to these regions' rapid economic growth (driven by an expanding middle class, significant investment into domestic infrastructure, high rural-to-urban migration, and increased population wealth), more responsible public finance decisions, reduced debt, improved corporate governance regimes, and diminished reliance on foreign exports. This collected edition captures the essence of private equity development in emerging markets, examining the evolution of the private equity industry as well as exit opportunities, financial performance, and anticipated future trends. The book also discusses the 'hands-on' aspects of private equity investing in emerging markets, including fundraising, investing, and operational challenges. Unique to this book are contributions from experts in private equity in emerging markets from across the globe.

Unterschiedliche Interessen und Rahmenbedingungen der Mitglieder machen Kompromisse schwierig und die Gipfeltreffen haben ihre Strahlkraft verloren. Die G20 ist jedoch ohne Alternative. Sie bleibt das einzige internationale Forum, das den gleichberechtigten Dialog zwischen wichtigen
Industrie- und Schwellenländern ermöglicht.

There is an increased focus on employee performance management by employers, as a tool of improving efficiency of resource allocation and usage in local governments around the world. In an era of instant communication and widely available information, communities demand quality service delivery and they are quick to show their frustrations if their expectations are not met. Performance management has also been shown to increase local government accountability and transparency. The purpose of this article was to review and analyze relevant recent international academic literature to uncover themes and lessons in performance management implementation. A document review, was conducted to determine which studies to include in the literature survey by identifying (1) those published in an English peer reviewed journals on Google Scholar, and (2) those focused on performance management (PM) from an international/global perspective. The literature was classified into themes. In addition to classifying the articles, the paper summarizes the major findings of literature. This study finds that there are many challenges experienced in the implementation of performance management and there tends to be a mismatch of expectations of what performance management means to employees and employers. Also, Politicians dominate the administrative/ bureaucratic arm of local government, frustrating the purpose of performance management. This article also provides recommendations on how to improve the nature of performance management implementation.
