Hard currency indebtedness of the developed socialist countries
1985
In recent years the problems of the indebtedness of the communist countries have been driven somewhat into the background by the high foreign indebtedness of many developing countries and the attention attracted by the balance of payments crises in Brazil and Mexico. Yet there are many indications that the need for the socialist debtor nations to adjust their balance of payments policy has not lessened but, to a large extent, simply been deferred. It is therefore not unlikely that the 1980s will witness a new need to solve the problems of those nations and their creditors in the West.
Krajowa Rada Narodowa i Polski Komitet Wyzwolenia Narodowego w państwie prawa. Stanowiska doktryny
2021
<p>The establishment of the communist regime in Poland in 1944 is a current subject of reflection in the doctrine and practice of legislation and judiciary. There has been no uniform position on these events, which means that the then sanctioned political and normative order continues to produce controversial assessments and, above all, certain legal effects. This results from the fact that the new people’s power, empowered by force, and not by legal or social basis, has given itself the competence to establish a normative order. The lack of legitimacy for the rightful rule and legislative activity, in principle – from the point of view of the idea of the rule of law – undermines the …
Corruption and Organised Crime Signalling Indicators for Foreign Investors as Applied to Eastern European Countries
2021
The former communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe and, implicitly, their economies, went through specific and sometimes asymmetric developments since the fall of the “iron curtain” at the end of the 1980s. During those years, they faced many challenges to create a secure and predictable economic environment for individuals and businesses, local or foreign. We propose a framework that considers legal, social, and economic indicators which can be used by foreign investors to make wise and efficient business decisions. Our main purpose is to expand the traditional economic analysis framework and enrich it with new institutional and societal indicators from the social, quality of lif…
La concepción gubernamental del desarrollo local en cuba, déficits y limitaciones
2016
Resumen . Cuba presenta una realidad politica, economica y social que en gran medida dificulta la aplicacion de politicas de desarrollo local. Esto se debe, fundamentalmente, al centralizador poder estatal; el que impide no solo la puesta en marcha de novedosos disenos de proyectos locales, sino que ademas impide a algunos de sus propios organismos llevar a termino tal cometido. El gobierno revolucionario instaurado en 1959 tuvo entre sus primeras medidas reducir la capacidad juridica de los municipios. En la decada de los anos 90, luego del derrumbe del campo socialista, el gobierno redirigio su politica economica para garantizar su supervivencia en el mundo capitalista. La reforma implico…
Romanian Village Halls in the Early 1950s: Between Cultural and Political Propaganda
2015
<p>Village halls [Romanian: cămine culturale] appeared in many European<br />countries and elsewhere as early as the nineteenth century and multiplied in the twentieth.<br />The presence of these institutions in the rural world, despite obvious differences in their<br />goals and activities, demonstrates a general interest in the cultural development of<br />villages, as well as the emergence and growth of leisure practices amongst peasants. This<br />essay is not a study of the history of village halls; rather, it focuses on the changes that this<br />institution underwent in the early years of the communist regime in Romania. It analyses<br /&g…

Are Romanian children Left behind a vulnerable group to Human Trafficking?
2018
After the fall of the Communist regime, the Romanian population has decreased approximately 15%, due to the high level of labour migration. The migration of Romanians was even more intensified later on, after Romania has joined the European Union. This decrease of population was due to an increased demand of the West-European population for domestic, construction and agricultural workers, corroborated with the entitlement of the new European citizens to free movement of workers within the territory of the European Union. As a direct consequence, a minimum of 82,464 children were left behind. Given that, more and more national and international reports have started to consider children left …
