Hungarian economy adapting to accelerated globalisation has to meet world-economic challenges on several levels. The development and international competitiveness of certain national economies depend not least on the extent to which they can realise advantages stemming from FDI inflow and operation, especially that of TNCs. It can be judged only by analysis based on empirical facts whether how much TNCs contribute to the internal development of a national economy, how much they can promote its internal integration (development of connections among sectors), how much they contribute to the manifestation of pulling effects, to what extent they improve the economy's capital endowment, financial resources; what new management skills, organisational and marketing knowledge, new technology, information, market and selling opportunities they provide; how much they contribute to the efficiency improvement of products, services and labour; that is - in sum - to what extent they further the improvement of the competitiveness of countries - that of Hungary and Mexico in the certain case.

Why are some non-state actors more successful than others in developing and maintaining durable patterns of transnational interaction? Why are some transnational actors more successful in their lobbying than others? This book is a case study of the Baltic Sea region that addresses such questions. Many non-governmental organizations today have regular contacts with counterparts in other littoral states. In some cases, the non-state actors have also deepened their cooperation and established regional international non-governmental organizations or transnational networks. Their purpose has been, amongst other things, to establish a platform from which they can interact with the Baltic Sea states and influence regional intergovernmental processes. In explainging these patterns of transnational relations, the author highlights a broad range of conditions relating to the actors themselves as well as to structure.

In the light of historical tensions, this article considers some classical administrative law responses to changing techniques of public administration. Rejecting the customary reproach that law is unresponsive to the needs of public administrators, the article nonetheless identifies a widespread conviction that control and accountability are the primary objectives of administrative law. The response of administrators overwhelmed by procedural requirements is to fall back on 'soft law' techniques. The article notes the growing use of 'soft law' and recourse to 'soft' techniques of governance in the European Union, together with a possible convergence of legal and administrative values, as standards of 'good governance' and 'principles of good administration' acceptable to both sides are promulgated and enforced by courts. As 'good governance' standards are disseminated by international and transnational institutions, the article predicts a similar pattern of tension and evasion, as procedurally oriented administrative law systems enforced by transnational adjudicative organs develop to occupy the global administrative space.

The "actio pro unione" reminiscent of the four musketeers plays a central role in the common administration of the European migration space in that administrative decisions of a member state gain legal importance in other states through Union law. This bestows a distinct transnational regulatory structure to administration of the European migration space. In the context of migration law, transnational migration has typically been nationally structured, differentiating between foreign & domestic with a focus on the foreign. While migration has changed some in its social aspects as a result of globalization, Europeanization has created a third category, EU citizenship, as well as a territorial constitutional space, though with a variable geometry. A look at the administration structures of the European migration space & the basis for legislative efforts to establish transnational regulatory structures shows that the "action pro unione" is building a form of horizontal administrative association, separate from international or supranational structures. This can be seen by exploring examples regarding the status of long term residents & the Dublin system for determination of asylee states. L. Reed

A comparative analysis of the impact of the European Union on central government administration: uses a transformative perspective to examine changes as countries adapt to increased EU integration.

This edited collection provides a cross-sectional review of environmental legislation and administration in the United States, with comparative chapters relating to Canada and New Zealand. The experts look at a variety of environmental issues that create policy problems, and while the book offers no blueprint or prognosis of environmental policy in the twenty-first century, it does offer insights into trends that will influence the future shape of that policy.||The book is prefaced by an overview of the environment as a problem for policy by Lynton K. Caldwell, who has been credited with inven
