Globalization and Trade: An Unfortunate Tangle
2019
Globalization disrupted the seemingly solid construction emerged in the aftermath of WW II, called the international trade system. For over fifty years, the system grew constantly thanks to the increasing number of countries that joint it as well as to its ubiquitously-accepted rules. For better and for worse the system has worked according to traditional theory principles, whose core credo was that all participating countries would gain more if engaged in trade than if in autarchy. Globalization has muddied the waters. The contemporary order in which multinational companies make the rules has made these predictions look elusive. One serious implication is today’s unorthodox approach of tra…
The Arab East in the Era of Globalization
2019
Although analyzes centered on the subject of globalization have long been a subject, the topic still has a growing interest. The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of globalization on the Arab East, an area treated marginally in the literature. The set of economic, first of all, but also cultural, religious and political elements, distinguishes this region from the rest of the world. This updated economic outlook, however, can very easily highlight the fact that the East is lagging behind: Arab states are often in conflict and social disorder, civil society structures are largely lacking, political instability is evident in many Arab states. As a result of these deficiencies, the ec…
Directions of Economic Integration in the Arab East
2019
Economic integration is one of the most important premises of globalization. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects that economic integration can generate in the Arab East, but also to investigate the current state of integration in the region. The benefits that a state can benefit by strengthening its position in the field of economic integration, either through preferential trade agreements or through foreign direct investment or labor migration, are obvious. The Arab East can thus attract a more sustained economic growth process for the less developed countries, either through intra-regional cooperation, through contact with the Arab states that are members of the Gulf Coope…
GLOBALIZATION AND ECONOMIC CRISIS IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
2011
The paper analyzes the relation between degree of economic globalization and the impact of economic crisis for developed and emerging European countries. We measure economic globalization through indexes based on share of external trade in GDP and FDI intensity (% of FDI inflows and outflows divided by GDP). The complexity of current economic and financial crisis could be evaluated through GDP growth rate, inflation rate, unemployment, public debt, budget deficit, balance of payments, exchange rate, etc. For the purpose of this paper we used GDP growth rate as a measure of economic crisis impact on national economies.
La ética global de los derechos humanos. Una aproximación prospectiva al impacto de las nuevas tecnologías
2011
ResumenLa identidad cultural es la piedra de toque de la supervivencia de esta sociedad global incipiente: su consolidación requiere de formas culturales compartidas. En ese proceso de redefinición identitaria que la globalización inaugura es necesario forjar una ética cívica global basada en el reconocimiento internacional de los derechos humanos que permita dar forma a esa interpenetración de las relaciones humanas y de sus expresiones culturales a nivel planetario. En este trabajo trataremos de analizar sucintamente los efectos que la gestación de una sociedad global de la información tiene sobre la consolidación de ese núcleo de valores de aliento universal. AbstractCultural identity is…
Localizing SDGs through Development Education. The Experience of the Valencian City Strategy
2019
[ES] Este artículo presenta la propuesta de Educación para el Desarrollo que se recoge en la Estrategia para la Educación no formal de la ciudad de Valencia y su relación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). El contenido de la Estrategia se basa en tres ejes fundamentales: 1) un enfoque territorial en el barrio o distrito; 2) la importancia de la coordinación entre actores municipales y las ONGD para desarrollar las propuestas educativas y 3) una serie de temáticas y metodologías prioritarias. La correspondencia de la Estrategia con los ODS ha sido interpretada empleando un marco de análisis pensado para la innovación transformadora. Esta interpretación distingue entre ODS que …
Reading Ádám Bodor’s Sinistra körzet [‘The Sinistra Zone’] in English
2018
This article focuses on the English translation and reception of a major contemporary Hungarian novel, Ádám Bodor’s The Sinistra Zone. A fairly slim book, The Sinistra Zone was first published in 1992, established Bodor as a major writer and inspired a considerable amount of critical literature in Hungary. The article first gives an overview of the position of The Sinistra Zone in contemporary Hungarian literature and highlights some issues discussed by critics that are relevant for the discussion of the English translation and reception. After reviewing the American reception of the book, Orzóy examines how specific features of Bodor’s prose are rendered in Paul Olchváry’s English translat…

Method for Reproducible Shipboard Segmented Flow Analysis Ammonium Measurement Using an In-House Reference Material for Quality Control
2021
Ammonium is a fundamental nutrient for phytoplankton growth in seawater and is a key component of the microbial loop. Ammonium measured in parallel with other nutrients is crucial in understanding the small temporal scale changes in oceanographic ecology. Despite the importance of measuring ammonium at sea, owing to its lability, there is no consensus on the best method. The lack of availability of certified reference materials for ammonium in seawater also makes it difficult to assess the accuracy and reproducibility of ammonium measurements. In this study we present a modified segmented flow analysis method using ortho-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) with fluorescence detection to measure ammonium…
Open dialogue as a human rights-aligned approach
2019
Throughout the last 20 years, the human rights perspective has increasingly developed into a paradigm against which to appraise and evaluate mental health care. This article investigates to what extent the Finnish open dialogue (OD) approach both aligns with human rights and may be qualified to strengthen compliance with human rights perspectives in global mental health care. Being a conceptual paper, the structural and therapeutic principles of OD are theoretically discussed against the background of human rights, as framed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities, and the two recent annual reports of the Human Rights Council…
