Capitalism and socialism, as two major economic systems, have shaped the past century to a great extent. After many wars and political games, it seems that the battle between the two systems has come to an end. Capitalism proved to be the stronger system and, as a result, globalization became the most descriptive attribute of the world economy in the current century. Most of the socialist countries decided, or were forced, to start a painful process of transition, which would enable them to become capitalist countries in the future. The countries in transition have had to deal with numerous problems such as political and economic pressure from other countries, corruption at all levels of political and

The balkans is a very important strategic location, because it provides a land bridge between Europe and Asia. Many nations wanted the Balkans because of it's position, so it played a large part in the history of Europe. The Balkan Peninsula was part of the Roman Empire, but later split in half when the Empire fell. In the 1400s the Ottoman Empire became the new owner of the Balkan Peninsula. After World War I, the Ottoman Empire ended. Later, the Balkans became a new nation named Yugoslavia, a nation with many divisions.

By 2003, Yugoslavia had ended, but the countries of Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia,

Yugoslavia was a very successful country under the lead of Josip Broz Tito. Yugoslavia was made of 6 Republics and those were: Croatia, Montenegro ,Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovenia, Serbia, Macedonia and Kosovo together with Vojvodina which at that time were recognized as provinces. After the death of Tito Yugoslavia began to demolish. The collapse of Yugoslavia began in 1980, and it continued until the 27th of April 1992, which in history is known as the date when Yugoslavia totally collapsed. In my opinion, the reason that the disintegration of Yugoslavia happened was because of the decline in absolute sovereignty. In this paper, I am going to talk about the definition of sovereignty, different perspectives about the disintegration of Yugoslavia from some authors and the decline in absolute sovereignty which led to the disintegration of Yugoslavia.

The declaratory principle of statehood is the theory that statehood is ascribed automatically once the entity meets the elements of statehood. The Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States contains "the most widely accepted formulation of the criteria of statehood in international law.” Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of State states that: “The state as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications: a ) a permanent population; b) a defined territory; c ) government; and d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states.”

Regardless of the absence of formal contractual arrangements among the governments, it is seen that integration is necessary to those groups that are not connected with the elites. The process has occurred and is developing. What goes on at the informal level replaces the lack of the official cooperation. These practices though are organized and carried out informally are not considered to be shadow, or grey. They are legal but held without adherence to rigid observance of the rules set up by the formal institutionalized structure. They are done not through the government. For that reason, these activities are considered informal. From this perspective, as a rule, the informal integration has the advantages over the formal one such as the easier

Slovenia has been facing a steady and dangerous decline of the economy for 8 straight quarters. This 2 year economic decline for Slovenia has done some serious damage towards their economy. Recently, in the last 3 months of 2013, they had their first quarter of economic growth in 2 years. Banks over this course of time have been tanking, giving bad loans, and have caused the government to step in to pour 4.5 billion dollars to help to economy recover from this. This economic decline hasn’t just affected the banks, it has really affected the unemployment rate in Slovenia. Slovenia’s unemployment rate rose from an already dangerously high 11.5% to just over 14%. To add to this, Slovenia is

The professor Ali Mazrui, imaginatively titled one of his journal articles “ Africa Between the Baobab Tree and the Owl of Minerva: A Post Colonial Narrative of Memory and Learning”. The choice that Mazrui made in this title is particularly interesting; by juxtaposing two symbols, that are respectively associated with African and European cultures, he acknowledges the profound impact that Europe has left after colonization. It is true, that it is hard to glance past Africa’s colonial past, even to this day Africa tends to be seen as a foil to Europe like Chinua Achebe brilliantly stated. Despite gaining independence almost sixty years ago , most African states still seem to hold scars from their colonial past. Although colonialism lasted for only a century (which is a relatively short period of time in history), it was so intense and altering that it impacted the continent in a lasting way. Thus, it is important to determine in what ways and in which domains was the impact the most profound. Well, most African states seem to struggle in two main arenas: politics and economy. Though, colonialism affected other aspects of the African life, like on the social and cultural grounds for instance; one could argue that social colonial legacies seem to unfold from the political and economical ones, we can also further argue that the cultural legacies thought existent did not really hinder or annihilate African culture.
