The Neutrality of International Courts and Tribunals: Why and to What Degree?
Authors: Borsa Merve Ozkan
Published: July 2017

It goes without saying that the principle of separation of powers leads to an independent judiciary imposing the rule of law and thereby assurance for the society so as to be prevented against any abuse of power, which is an integral part and a must of democratic values. This independence and impartiality crystallize as to the degree the judiciary (as an institution) and individual judges are able to hold responsibility without being influenced or intervened by any other source. The confidence of the society and the maitenance of justice can only be ensured provided that this independence and impartiality is taken under guarantee by binding instruments and that the manner in which jurisdiction is performed is carried out in accordance to such requirement. Nevertheless, the author of this paper claims that if meant to remain pretty much uncontested, such rhetoric holds true merely for domestic law, since I believe there is reasonable ground to state that this idea –and “ideal” too, since it has also reached such a level-, is relevant mainly for the domestic laws, dissenting from international law; like the title of the article provocatively illustrates. Likewise, there has been theoretical objections asserting that independence, impartiality and neutrality of international courts and tribunals is not required for fair decisions, justice or the court’s effectiveness.

Authors: Mulliqi Shpresë
Published: July 2017

The expansion of Internet, the development of the new information and communication technologies as well as social networks have revolutionized the social interaction as they have enabled individuals to quickly and conveniently get in touch with each other. The interaction performed online, defined as online interpersonal communication, or the Electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM), as seen in numerous research papers, impacted the consumer behaviour. This paper analyses audience behaviour when making decisions vis-à-vis cultural offers presented in social networks. Although the issue of subjectivity in relation to the offered content in these platforms is set up as a determining factor for using e-WoM and the social networks, the main results suggest that both have been used by audience as a primary source of information when deciding to visit a cultural event. Moreover social networks have been described as places where information is not headed by clienteles, thus significant, customer friendly and trustworthy, despite the fact that all these information are based on subjective impressions of each social network user. The limited number of research on the impact of online communication of the theatre audience has been perceived as an obstacle, as there are no guiding direction how we should do it, and as a challenge, given that through this research we will set the baseline for future researches that will analyse the effectiveness of eWoM.

The effects of minimal wage on employment were studied by Katz and Kruger (1992) and Card (1992a) as well as Stephen Machin and Alan Manning (1994). Card, D. and Krueger, B. (1994) analyzed the effects of minimum wage raise, on fast-food restaurants in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. On the other hand, Neumark and Wascher (2000) in their findings explained that raising the minimal wage by 10% reduced the teenager employment rate with 1-2% and brought the reduction of total employment by 1.5-2%. Meanwhile, Grossberg and Sicilian (2004), found mixed results in their estimations of the minimal wage effects on employment duration period. Krugman, P(2015) one of the economy nobelist defends the theory of raising the minimal wage as a condition for improving the wellbeing. W. Phillips, (1958) studied a negative inverse relation between unemployment and inflation. Barro (1995), De Gregorio (1994), Bruno (1994) concluded that low inflation is accompanied by economic growth and higher employment level.

Another significant comparative aspect, it is the difference between full and part –time women entrepreneurship. While in full time entrepreneurship in a convince way, men are those that dominate, in part time entrepreneurship clearly it’s evident the opposite trend, women's representation is much higher.

Theories of Money Supply: The Relationship of Money Supply in a Period of Time T-1 and Inflation in Period T- Empirical Evidence from Albania
Authors: Koti Sorina , Bixho Tomi
Published: July 2017

The aim of this paper is to present different approaches and theories, which are linked with money and inflation. Many studies are made to provide a high relationship of money and inflation. The changes in money supply always have affected the macroeconomic indicators such as inflation, unemployment, economic growth, trades and have let the governments to conduct the necessary fiscal and monetary policies, in order to react in an efficient way to reduce uncertainty and to build a sustainable economy. The paper analyses the theoretical links of money supply with unemployment, trade and exchange rate, taxes and wages. The regression analysis is conducted based on the theories of money. The analysis and the empirical results for Albania showed that money supply has strong relationship with economic growth, interest rate and inflation, but money supply has a negative sign toward inflation, by arguing that the case of Albania is specific, because of lack of money supply from banking system and money in circulation outside banks. From the results, we found that all money supplied by the financial system is fully absorbed by the private sector and individuals, without causing an increase on the inflation level. This may be argued from the financial crisis that affected Albania and the reduction of production, consumption, unemployment and delayed payments from the government toward business sector. Furthermore, there are suggested monetary policies for increasing the supply of money, and fiscal policies for increasing the demand for goods and services. The supply increases by the demand side, which need to be stimulated by production sector through fiscal policies and government development programs

Published: July 2017

Information is the currency of democracy. (Thomas Jefferson), Freedom of expression is part of the so-called "negative liberty" that imply their guarantee by the Constitution as inviolable and for their realization require non-interference by the state or by private entities. Media uses this freedom, to achieve its objectives where not rarely goes beyond violating the other rights and freedoms prescribed in the Constitution. The power that people gave to media has made it a powerful pressure weapon, but often also a victim of its "sacred" mission, that of informing public about everything that happens. The aim of this paper is to present media reports with criminal law, which are dualistic reports: approaching and contradictory. It will also be presented an overview of the situation in Albania, where the media and its influence play a significant role in people's opinion and in the progress of criminal proceedings. In the first part of the paper I have mentioned the central role of the media in democracy and the benefits that community and society receives from media's freedom. Furthermore, in the second part l have been focusing on the other side of the coin addressing key points in which the media is presented as violating the human rights and interfering in criminal proceedings. In the third and last part I have submitted the role of investigative journalism as an important link in the media but in Albania is still unconsolidated.

The paper attempts to define the term semiotics of photography. Approach to the theme was started from the concept of semiotics. Since the 60s of the last century, "semiotics", which studies the characters, has begun to affect changes in the humanities and natural sciences. After Ferdinand de Saussure, the study of signs focused on humans need labeling, especially on the logic of "communication" and disclosure "codes" that form the background of diverse cultural phenomena. Semiotics provides to understand in a different way, by language and framework, the link between the image and society. It is also a method that can be used to expose photos, studying mass media, literary texts and systematically analyze a number of other features of the popular culture. In the modern, technologically developed world, man is exposed to photos more than ever (billboards, advertisements, magazines, art photography... ). Visual impact, as the most convincing form of attracting attention, affects the formation of opinions and attitudes, encouraging consumption and serves in many other commercial or political purposes. Therefore, semiotics, science which studies signs and their meanings, is becoming more important scientific discipline in explaining sociosemiotic aspects of society. In the paper is analized the photo in a different context using semiotics to understand it. Assuming that the symbolism of the publicly engaged photos exposed to the public differs from those intended for the specialized or limited audience, will be attempted to prove that the former is expected to influence with emotions, more shocking attempt to attract attention, and the later let observers themselves to decode picture.
