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.

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.

One of the consequences of the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001 has been the end of the tacit agreement between the US administration & certain allied Arab governments on the need to keep Arab public opinion out of politics, specifically in matters of foreign policy. Arab governments' claim to represent their people can no longer fool anyone. Indeed, the structural changes Arab societies have undergone (spread of literacy, urbanization etc.), the waning legitimacy of the powers that be & the emergence of relatively independent pan-Arab media have spurred the autonomization of public opinion. The handling of hostile Arab public opinion by home & foreign governments, particularly the US, is complicated by its twofold nature: at once national & transnational. This special configuration of Arab public opinion, involving vigorous supranational identification & multiple allegiances, needs to be taken into account in trying to understand the workings of politics in the region.

This article assesses the recent trend of cooperation among antagonistic private actors that results in the creation & implementation of issue-specific transnational norms & rules & the subsequent shift from public to private forms of governance. Many political scientists agree that authority also exists outside of formal political structures. Private actors increasingly begin to make their own rules & standards that acquire authority beyond the international system. This observation is often referred to as private transnational governance as opposed to public or international governance. Although the concept of private governance gains prominence in academic debates, it is not clear how private governance on the global scale is constructed & maintained or what specific or general conditions are necessary for private governance to emerge. Based on the review of common theoretical propositions, this article develops an integrated model along which the necessary conditions for the emergence of private governance can be assessed & understood. As most research has hitherto focused on institutionalized cooperation between business actors (self-regulation), this article takes a closer look at those transnational systems of rule that result out of the enhanced cooperation between profit & nonprofit actors (coregulation). 52 References.

The recent mass demonstrations by millions of Latino immigrant workers in the US, against planned legislation that could lead to the criminalisation and deportation of, literally, millions of workers shook the Bush administration and took commentators by surprise. The upsurge has been dubbed the new civil rights movement. It marks a new stage in globalisation and the phenomenon of mass, transnational migration that such globalisation has engendered. Unprecedented in size and scope, the movement challenges the structural changes bound up with capitalist globalisation and points to the necessity of transnational popular and democratic struggles against it.

"Wenige Monate nach den verheerenden Terroranschlägen vom 11. September 2001 deklarierte die Regierung der Vereinigten Staaten ein Recht auf präventive Selbstverteidigung. Der von der Bush-Administration unilateral verkündete Anspruch auf ein solches Recht ist sowohl inner- als auch außerhalb der USA heftig umstritten. Sofern auf Grund der geringen Anschlussfähigkeit an klassische Politikansätze, akademische Theorieschulen, tradierte Moralvorstellungen und existierende Normensysteme die Legitimität präventiver Selbstverteidigung nicht per se bestritten werden soll, bedarf es für eine konstruktive Auseinandersetzung mit dieser Position zunächst einer genuinen Betrachtung des Weltbildes, vor dessen Hintergrund die Befürworter präventiver Selbstverteidigung argumentieren. In diesem discussion paper soll daher der Versuch unternommen werden, das hinter dem Anspruch auf präventive Selbstverteidigung stehende Weltbild zu rekonstruieren und umfassend darzustellen. Das Ziel des Aufsatzes ist es, eine gegenwärtig äußerst einflussreiche, in der bisherigen akademischen Literatur allerdings selten tatsächlich ernst genommene und häufig rasch als unterkomplex abgehandelte Weltanschauung aufzuarbeiten. Dies geschieht nicht zuletzt in der Hoffnung, den Boden für eine fruchtbare, frei von Polemik geführte Auseinandersetzung zu bereiten." (Autorenreferat)
