Chronology of development of political inquiries under technical dialogue umbrella, Kosovo ¿ Serbia. It was interesting how the technical level dialogue become political talks that means - took another dimension of talks between two countries, which took place political aspect without clearly understanding what are the interests of the Kosovo in this process, and the other side of the conviction to enter into these talks to bring Serbia to the EU and bring political ¿peace¿, between countries with no doubts in the end of dialogue but ¿no guaranties with happy¿. But until now there are a lot of confusion in direction what is the purpose of interests of Kosovo expectations of achieving stability in western Balkan? Or what else interest has Kosovo's state according to easily EU integration? Even the public opinion in Kosovo for these talks Kosovo-Serbia, is full of debates and many suspicions and with doubts, these talks were full of an-normal political confidences with certain aims, and the idea was to avoid public opinion and the noise that it could be done during this dialogue.

Elections are a model of parliamentary democracy, through which political parties compete with each other, and offer competitive programs. Their programs are presented to citizens and, on the other hand, they expect from citizens to appreciate and trust their governance with the state. There are many electoral systems; each state has its own development characteristics, so accordingly it is determined for the most appropriate election model. In some countries we have the majority system, and in some proportions, but it is important to organize elections with equal and equal criteria and criteria for all competing parties in the elections. My district-wide experience is quite interesting, for I've been actively participating since 2000 on election-related issues. I was a participant in the broad political party forum in 2000 before the first local elections were held, and I was an active participant at that time to determine the modality of the electoral system.

Balkan states are still at a stage of political and class transformation. There is no stable market economy that would affect the strengthening of the aspect of building a party political orientation, both left and right Political programs.Balkan political developments are charismatic in two matter: the first is the formation of the economic classes and the second, nationalism as an ideology. Without the formation of economic classes, there is no neither a proper and clear party profile. The problems of the Balkan States are characterized by major economic problems, with a greater unemployment and inefficiency and in bad developments of law and order. Balkan states have long been trying to form economic classes. The Balkan countries are more concerned with the problems of regional nationalism, which is bad and not good for the region. While domestic political developments are not stable. In Albania strives to have clear division but more formal than functional, on the one side there is the right path of the DP and on the other two parties left PS and LSI. While in Kosovo there is no clear division of the political class in formal way are PDK and LDK and another part is LVV, NISMA.

Kosovo has its own social development history and social existence, very interesting and often complicated as a result of many developments. Kosovo started its basic pension scheme with 28 marks in 2002; today this pension is 110 euros, while the retirement pension is expected to be around 240 euros per month. The basic pension scheme is decreasing due to persons who are not in life, while social assistance has fallen far since 2002, which was 53 thousand families, now this scheme content is only 27,000 families this number is falling as in the meantime, the state spending on social schemes has been added to other schemes such as those of war veterans where it is not yet final and the verified list, which currently includes more than 60 thousand former fighters, the new schemes now added women raped during the war in 1998-1999. Kosovo has many social schemes that are still not reformed. Such schemes are understood to receive money from the state budget, about 280 million euros of the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare, which are largely spent on social schemes, while employment is far from every barometer of economic development.

Kosovo local institutions was established since 2000, until that time was a many debate in political and international level according to establish process of decentralization, Kosovo now is country decentralized, and now is period trying to think about local government reform step by step, it was during of this road many interesting developments according to this level of function local democracy. Some international councils, NGO have being active starting from UNMIK and the Council of Europe who have proposed how to consolidate local government and to make operative and desirable for accomplish interest of citizens of different nationalities in Kosovo. The local elections were organized for the first time in Kosovo in 2000, and those at the national level in 2001. The organization of the first local elections was aimed at starting the functioning of local government. After the war, the Provisional Government of Kosovo had appointed the mayors of the municipals, then current municipalities up to the organization of local elections so that there would be no stagnation in governance at the local level and that the citizens would have representatives in the local governance.

Electoral reform should take place in two directions: the technical reform of electoral rules was easier and the reform of the electoral system, while this reform is more difficult to happen, that is, the reform of the electoral system. The reform of the electoral system in semi-majority would have a positive effect on the efficiency of government in the state and in strengthening responsibility. Conditional voting should be removed, it is completely unnecessary, as well as voting by mail should be removed, and replaced by voting in the embassies of the state of Kosovo. Dissatisfied with the work of governments for a while long time in Kosovo has influenced the decrease in participation in elections among citizens, but in 2021 there were more participants, about 47%. The reasons for the increase in the electorate for going to the elections came as a result of a long period of government degradation in the state of Kosovo by the political parties LDK, PDK, AAKAKR, but even now that a new political entity VV has come to power, it has also started disappointment grows in Kosovo, due to the many problems that burden the state from economic, social to education and justice.

Esta obra pone en evidencia la desigualdad de fuerzas que prevalece entre los Estados Miembros de la ONU, toda vez que la guerra preventiva desatada por la Federación de Rusia sobre Ucrania, no solo reafirma una vez más el diseño fallido que en materia de seguridad internacional contempla la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, sino que pone en jaque a Europa y altera el tablero mundial dentro del cual prevalece la voluntad soberana de los Estados por encima de la voluntad común colectiva cuyo propósito principal por garantizar la paz se torna abstracto y lejos de la realidad. Los escritos develan un escenario de guerra dentro del cual Rusia cuestiona la capacidad de la ONU a los efectos de generar pautas de orden global, y al mismo tiempo advierte que la seguridad colectiva de ningún modo puede ser presidida por la OTAN. Su intervención bélica a través de una operación militar especial sobre Ucrania, puso a prueba la eficacia militar de esa organización transatlántica y despertó en ella una crisis de identidad entre sus miembros europeos la que está condicionada a las decisiones que adopte Estados Unidos de America.

the transforming society needs an inclusive ideology that can bring combined solutions for our combined problems. It is, thus, a dialectical comboism that can develop combination of ideas to solve combined problems facing human beings. Hence, the author believes that balanced state of living together could not be reached simply by using one sided ideology but is possible with more inclusive ideology, i.e. dialectical comboism. The great aim of dialectical ideology is bringing new possibility to work together to reach synergy for the purpose of synergistic transformation. It is all about build better together in its character. The other great aim of dialectical comboism is to transform domination into cooperation. The reason for this is the idea that peace can¿t be possible without cooperation. In order peace deal to succeed, the need for cooperation, which must be cultivated, is required.

¿Savoir-faire¿ is defined as ¿multitalented Know-how,¿ which is principled working traditions of new policy: from each according to the ability to know intellectually what the dimensions of a problem are to each according to the ability or skill to perform the actions needed to solve the problem or from each according to the ability to know intellectually what the dimensions of a problem are to each according to the savvy principle needed to solve the problem, i.e. savoir-faire is ability/savvy principle of new policy paradigm while Omnicrats deal with the government of all by all for all.

Separation of powers is a fundamental principle of modern democratic systems, intended to ensure that no single branch of government has too much power or control. This principle is enshrined in the constitutions of many countries around the world, including the United States, United Kingdom, India, and France. However, the way in which these countries have implemented the separation of powers varies significantly. This book provides a comparative analysis of the separation of powers in the USA, UK, India, and France. Each chapter focuses on a particular country, examining the history and evolution of the separation of powers principle, as well as the way it is currently implemented in practice. By comparing and contrasting the approaches taken by these countries, this book aims to shed light on the strengths and weaknesses of different models of separation of powers.

Half of the world's top 20 countries most vulnerable to terrorist attacks are African countries. The most significant threats: fusion of terrorism and organized crime; possible control of Africa's strategic resources ¿ such as uranium, gold, diamonds, and oil ¿ by criminal and terrorist groups; obstruction of peacekeeping missions in Africa; high mobility of criminal groups, driven by borders transparency; and uncontrolled movement and proliferation of weapons and agents in the region that must be government controlled, i.e. drones, cyber weapons, and man-portable air defense systems.

Fifty (50) years after the great wave of independence of African countries, the African peoples are more than ever confronted, in this 21st century, with the denial of the Dignity of the African Being. The UN, born of unspeakable human suffering, the UN that General Charles de Gaulle described as a "thing" has lost its soul. It has been emptied of its Charter both in letter and in spirit and has consequently become by its General Secretariat a tool of oppression and destruction of human lives in Africa. To the repeated violations of international law by the West, especially by its Permanent Members of the Security Council, the West, through its institutions, has remained faithful to its primary objective in Africa: to destroy any symbol of freedom and Dignity of the African Being on the continent. We believe that any rigorous analysis must be based on training and/or information. It being understood that the areas of training of each other are very diverse, our duty requires us to make available to our brothers and African sisters and/or other readers as much information as possible at this stage.

The Earth is in crisis: at the current rate of nature loss, we are threatened with the extinction of up to 1 million species, many within decades, and major loss of food and water. The cost of ecological degradation on lost productivity will be staggering. Our consumption system is the single biggest threat to nature today. Consumption system is unsustainable. Current agricultural methods leading to loss of production base. Lack of access to water is a major risk for the populations of Africa and the world. Many people do not have access to sanitation and basic water services. Nature destruction drives pandemics and disasters with devastating economic and health impacts. Nature destruction aggravates poverty, unemployment and leads to conflicts and migration.

The purpose of this book is to introduce students to the exciting and challenging subject of development economics, which draws on several branches of economics in order to elucidate and understand the development difficulties facing the economies of the world¿s poor countries. This does not mean that the book provides a recipe or blueprint for development; far from it. There can be no general recipes of this nature, and even if there were, there would have to be more than economic ingredients. The book combines description and analysis, with an emphasis on the elaboration of simple and useful theoretical economic models for an understanding of the issues that comprise the subject matter of development economics. The desire for material improvement in developing countries is strong, and economics does have something positive to offer by way of analysis unadulterated by political, sociological and other non-economic variables. In the final analysis, growth and development must be considered an economic process in the important practical sense that it is unlikely to proceed very far in the absence of an increase in the quantity and quality of the resources available for production.

One of the important issues in family law is the issues related to obligations and financial relations between couples, which has a profound and wide impact on the continuity or non-continuity of cohabitation couples. It starts with the formation and beginning of a life together, the earliest stage of which is courtship and continues as long as the couple lives together or in cases where they are separated from each other or one of the parties dies. This study has analyzed and explained the law organizing the financial relations of couples and the related rights carefully in detail and at the same time in a coherent and integrated manner; Then, the types of financial regimes affecting the couple's financial relationships are expressed as much as possible, and the position of balance, equality or preference are examined. The author explain the financial relations couples and the system organizing it, and express the principles and opinions of Iran thinkers and jurists and compare it with Swiss law. After the necessary studies, the commonalities and differences between these two legal systems have been stated and the possibility of forming a single legal system has been evaluated.

The first chapter studies commitment in the Osborne-Slivinski (1996) citizen-candidate model. I consider a notion of "sincere" commitment: costless to positions closer to one's ideal point than any other candidate's position, but very costly for those further away. I show that the unique equilibrium with four or less candidates has a single candidate entering. The second chapter considers an election with candidate entry and a state variable that translates all players' ideal points. Candidates are informed of its realization, voters are not. I study its impact on candidates' commitment. I show that when they cannot commit, information is of no consequence for the election. Instead, when they can commit, strategies are altered: there are equilibria where the number of candidates, locations they enter at, and behaviour would never arise if there was no uncertainty. The third chapter analyzes if electoral competition makes candidates reveal information that voters value in a model consistent with six stylized facts of U.S. Presidential elections. I show that even if candidates compete in Downsian multidimensional space and appear ex-ante identical, Nash equilibra exist.
