CHANGES IN FOREIGN TRADE POLICY MAJOR INTEGRATION ASSOCIATIONS IN CONDITIONS OF TURBULENCE IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
Authors: Valovaya M. D. 
Published: July 2018

Turbulent states, structural changes and systemic crises of the world economy have been one of the decisive factors influencing the activity of large integration associations in all centuries. A particularly clear example is the integration processes in the Eurasian space. «The Great Silk Road» – a huge branched system of caravan routes. The Great Silk Road was a kind of connecting link between countries, civilization and socio-economic systems. The path «From the Varangians to the Greeks functioned along the Volga route. The end of the 17th and the first quarter of the 18th centuries was the period of Peter's reforms. Peter I regarded foreign trade as an important means of integrating Russia into Western European culture. Major bans related to the outside world were imposed on the Russian economy in the early 19th century. Anglo-German rivalry and antagonism played a decisive role in the complex system of imperialist contradictions that led to the First World War in 1914–1918. The Second World War almost six times exceeded the First in terms of the total number of victims: 50 million people. The consequence of the Second World War was the formation of the world socialist system, the disintegration of the colonial system and the beginning of the formation and development of major integration projects in Europe, Latin America, East Asia and Africa. Since January 2015, the Eurasian Economic Union functions. The possibilities of cooperation between the EAEU and other integration associations are widely discussed. The interface with the project of the Economic belt of the Silk Road Road is of particular interest.
POVERTY DYNAMICS UNDER GLOBALIZATION: US AND THE OTHER OECD COUNTRIES
Authors: Lebedeva L. F. 
Published: July 2018

The progress in reducing the level of poverty after the global crisis lacked behind the process of improving economic indicators in some countries and there are countries where the level of poverty even increased. The paper highlights gaps in poverty levels among different groups of population according to age, gender, and education. It examines poverty trends in US and other OECD countries, covering changes from the global crisis period; the approaches to determining poverty line, including official and supplemental poverty measure which in addition to government cash benefits takes into account non-cash benefits and taxes. Working poor, whose income remains under poverty line, while they are working, are of special attention. Among the main factors that can lower a worker’s ability to earn an income above the poverty threshold – low level of education, long periods of unemployment, part-time employment. It is pointed that the benefits of globalization are not reaching those who are in poverty and government policies often fail to respond to their needs.
NEW DIRECTION FOR EXTERNAL BORROWING MOBILIZATION AS A DEVELOPMENT FINANCING SOURCE OF THE SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM
Authors: Cuong Vu 
Published: July 2018

The paper firstly provides an overview of the country’s public debt status before looking in more detail on its external borrowings. By reviewing the regional experiences in mobilizing external loans for their development when these neighboring countries reached the LMIC status, the paper argues the key role of Official Development Assistance (ODA) in such countries not as filling the savings gap. Instead, it is to reduce the burden of importing essential capital good and technology during industrialization, given that ODA flows are significant to the size of the economy and consistent over time. The paper concludes with key lessons and recommendations for Vietnam in formulating its new strategy on external borrowings, including using oversea aid to relax the balance of payment constraint; using ODA to finance growth-enhancing projects; directing ODA flows to viable projects to enhance the country’s productive capacity; and developing transparent, consistent and predictable project selection system.
Drawing the Short Straw: Disproportional Effects of Russian Sanctions on Central Europe and the Baltic States
Authors: Dufalla Jacqueline 
Published: July 2018

In 2014, the agricultural sanctions Russia imposed on the European Union (EU) had a perceivable impact on the EU’s economy. Yet the sanctions arguably had a disproportionate impact, which suggests they were particularly successful in exposing underlying issues within the EU. Specifically, former Soviet bloc countries and southern European countries were far more greatly impacted by the sanctions than the larger western EU member states. This brings to light problems of disproportionate representation of member states within decision-making processes (especially within the Committee for Agriculture and Rural Development), and the fragility of the EU's internal cohesion. By comparing typical decision-making processes of the EU with its responses during times of crisis, it becomes clear that the EU’s decision-making process and its internal cohesion with regard to economic assistance for former Soviet states, are vulnerable to Russia’s actions. The essay will conclude with recommendations on how to improve EU decision-making during times of crisis to counter this vulnerability.
Towards a New EU: Why Populism Can Save the European Union
Authors: Drago Alessandro 
Published: July 2018

Europe has seen an alarming increase of populist parties throughout the last two decades. The European debt crisis has only added to their strength and support, and Eurosceptic attitudes have only increased, as exemplified by the recent Brexit vote. However, this exploratory paper will argue that the crisis to which populism has given rise allows the EU to critically reflect on itself and fix many of the fatal flaws that the increase in populist support has pointed out. It will be argued that the EU needs to create a strong civic society to help mend its democratic deficit. Finally, it will be argued that by incorporating particular elements of populist thought and critique (i.e., democratization and fairer economic policies), that is, implanting an “alter-europeanization,” that the ugly side of populism (its xenophobia and racism) will begin to lose support within European countries.
Boarding the Euro Plane: Euro Adoption in the Czech Republic and Slovakia
Authors: Verdun Amy , Dandashly Assem 
Published: July 2018

What explains the euro adoption strategies in the Czech Republic and Slovakia? How have each of these two countries performed under the regime they joined (Czech Republic: flexible exchange rates; Slovakia: in the euro area)? How has that experience affected Czech and Slovak policies towards euro adoption and their performance during the euro crisis? This paper asks these questions and seeks to give an answer to the question why Slovakia adopted the euro while the Czech Republic did not. We address these questions by taking an eclectic approach that draws on constructivism and symbolism, historical institutionalism and domestic politics. The paper examines five explanations based on these theoretical approaches: the inferiority-superiority factor; European identity and the ‘return’ to Europe; symbolic factor of the currency; euroskepticism; and economic structure and trade relations.

Theorising Chinese International Relations and the Rise of China
Authors: Mr. Sudeep Kumar 
Published: July 2018

This paper critically analyses the case study of Chinese international relations theory through the lens of a non-Western International relations theoretical framework.There should be an attempt to democratise the existing international relations discipline because societal interactions among the countries across the globe cannot be judged by the yardstick of Western experiences. Non-Western international relations theories can be also generated under the post-positivist methodological framework, as it is equally important to include the localised voices and experiences of Asian, African and Latin American countries by reactivating their local historical traditions and ancient philosophies, sociological perspective and ontological, epistemological and axiological dimension of international relations theories 3.
Key words: International Relations Theory - Tribute System – Confucian Model of Governance – World Order

Published: July 2018

Along with urbanism and rapid motorization in the Pidie district leads to increasing private-mode dependency. Increasing number of the vehicle used in urban road networks could affect the pedestrian crossing facilities, especially within the school zone. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the needs for pedestrian crossing facilities within school zone located at Prof. A. Majid Ibrahim Road in the Pidie District. The gap acceptance approach is used to evaluate accepted and rejected gaps. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the pedestrian crossing (Zebra Cross) regarding whether it is truly appropriate or not then evaluates using the statistical method of hypothesis testing. The analysis result reveals that the higher speed in the traffic, the greater gap required by crosser. The average speed for the traffic direction of Medan - Banda Aceh is about 47,13 km/h; pedestrians require the distribution of gap value of 85% or about 7 m crossing distance is necessary to available. At the location of the zebra cross 1, in the morning and noon observations show the average gap is about 7.71 and 9.18 seconds, respectively. Furthermore, as for the location of the zebra cross 2, in the morning and noon observations show the average gap is about 8.69 and 10.20 seconds, respectively. Based on the gap distribution, it concluded that the zebra cross facility at Prof. A. Majid Ibrahim Road is still worth using. As for the effectiveness of zebra cross, based on 85% speed at a distance from 50 m and 30 m can be concluded that zebra cross at Prof. A. Majid Ibrahim Road is ineffective. The absence of a decreasing in vehicle speed as it passes through the zebra cross, the velocity of the vehicle at 50 m from the zebra cross ≥ 30 m from the zebra cross. The speed of the vehicle tends to be stable at the time of going through the zebra cross.

Published: July 2018

The Caspian Sea is the intercontinental, international, transboundary enclosed inland water body. It receives flows of such large rivers as Volga, Ural, Terek, Kura, and Sefidrud. The Caspian is highly dynamic. In view of its unique behavior, precisely the water level fluctuations, the research of not only these processes and their forecast, but careful study of the design and engineering solutions were required here because the results of such researches determine the social and economic development of the coastal areas.The Caspian became the focus of attention usually at the times when the period of its level drop changed over for its rise (or vice versa). It is in these periods that the “critical mass” of the gradually accumulating environmental, social and economic consequences of any kind should find “outlet”. In other words, the need “to save the Caspian” and “to be saved from the Caspian” appeared. In the past decades, till 1930, the economic activities in the Caspian region, such as oil production, shipping, fishery, lifestyle of the local population got adapted to the existing level of the Caspian Sea. The first level drop in the Caspian in the 1930s was the first alarming and even shocking bell that stirred anxiety for its future. At the same time, the change of the Caspian level has incurred considerable damage.This situation forced the riparian states to develop various projects aimed to take into consideration the Caspian level fluctuations and, simultaneously, to stabilize its level. Many suggested solutions were of a global scale and were not realizable. Moreover, the developers of practically all projects did not understand properly the significance of these processes, thus, inadequate assessment of their consequences. And, finally, many proposals concerning development of the riparian territories with regard to the Caspian level fluctuations could lead to serious environmental disturbances that would entail negative consequences in the following decades.

Published: July 2018

Telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans (TMEP) is a rare adult mastocytosis with prominent cutaneous manifestations including red to brown telangiectatic macules typically on the chest or limbs. TMEP can be a cause of morbidity with associated cutaneous findings (e.g. flushing, pruritus, ulcers) and extracutaneous symptoms (e.g. dyspnea, reflux, diarrhea, hypotension). Previous attempts to treat the cutaneous manifestations of TMEP include PUVA, topical steroids, electron beam radiation, and 585-nm flashlamp-pumped dye laser. We report the first case of successful treatment of the cutaneous findings of TMEP with intense pulsed light (IPL). The patient underwent 2 treatments with IPL spaced 3 months apart, and remained entirely clear at 14 months follow-up.
News Media Partiality Concerning LGBT Issues in Indonesia: A Hidden Agenda of The Jakarta Post and Jakarta Globe
Authors: Utami Meina Astria 
Published: July 2018

This study is aimed at investigating the representation of LGBT in the Jakarta Post and Jakarta Globe and revealing hidden ideologies embedded in the representations. This study more specifically focuses on identifying how the two media deploy transitivity choices in reporting LGBT and gaining representational meanings from the transitivity choices. This study employs the qualitative method and transitivity analysis under the framework of Fairclough’s three-dimensional approach (1989). The study reveals that the Jakarta post tends to represent LGBT as a more passive participant in a way that certain circumstances shape them as a discriminated and intimidated group by several religious groups, society and government officials, therefore this position has caused Human Rights activists and several government officials to defend them. The media also depict LGBT as an acceptable identity and acknowledged phenomenon in Indonesia. On the other hand, Jakarta Globe tends to represent LGBT as a more active participant that they are given more space to express their sufferings and struggles that trigger them to claim their own rights through their active involvement in anti-LGBT discussions and the support provided by Human Rights activists. The findings suggest that the two media are struggling to promote democratic values in attempts to contribute to establishing LGBT acceptance in Indonesia (the Jakarta Post) and critiquing the discrimination as a means of ending intimidation against LGBT (Jakarta Globe). Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan makna representasi dari pilihan transitivitas yang digunakan oleh laporan berita The Jakarta Post dan Jakarta Globe dalam mewartakan kasus LGBT dan mengungkapkanideologi yang mendasari representasi tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dan analisis transitivitas di bawah kerangka pendekatan tiga dimensi Fairclough (1989). Penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa The Jakarta Post cenderung merepresentasikan LGBT sebagai partisipan yang lebih pasif sehingga keadaan tertentu membentuk mereka sebagai kelompok yang terdiskriminasi dan terintimidasi oleh beberapa kelompok agama, masyarakat, dan pejabat pemerintah; dengan demikian, posisi ini menyebabkan aktivis HAM dan beberapa pejabat pemerintah membela mereka. Media juga menggambarkan LGBT sebagai identitas berterima dan fenomena yang diakui di Indonesia. Di sisi lain, Jakarta Globe cenderung merepresentasikan LGBT sebagai partisipan yang lebih aktif sehingga mereka diberikan ruang lebih untuk mengekspresikan penderitaan dan pergulatan mereka yang memicu mereka untuk mengklaim hak mereka melalui keterlibatan aktif dalam diskusi anti-LGBT dan dukungan yang diberikan oleh aktivis HAM. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kedua media berupaya mendorong nilai-nilai demokratis sebagai usaha untuk berkontribusi dalam menumbuhkan penerimaan terhadap LGBT di Indonesia (The Jakarta Post) dan mengkritik diskriminasi untuk menghentikan intimidasi terhadap LGBT (Jakarta Globe).
