MODELS OF INTERACTION BETWEEN THE STATE OF ORIGIN AND THE DIASPORA

Author: Cristina CHIRVAS

Abstract: The impact of the diaspora on the development of the state of origin is a topic that appeared relatively recently in the areas of interest and on the public agendas of the states. Currently, throughout the world, the diaspora represents an active force, involved in almost all areas of activity of a society, which tends to develop and maintain multilateral ties with political, social and cultural institutions in the country of origin or destination. Since the 1990s, more and more states have launched various initiatives at the governmental level in order to attract the development potential of the diaspora. However, often factors such as the availability of institutional means, available time, the needs, desires and capacities of diaspora members to engage in such activities, reduce the panoply of viable options regarding the state's implementation of diaspora-related development objectives. The given article aims to summarize the ways of interaction of the states of origin with the diasporas, to identify the opportunities and challenges of the various policies implemented in the field of the diaspora and to structure examples of good practices applied at the international and national level.

Keywords: diaspora, state of origin, diaspora engagement policies, development

IMPLICATIONS OF COVID-19 ON TEXTILES INDUSTRY IN INDIA - DISCOVERING ISSUES AND CHALLENGES ON DEMAND AND SUPPLY SIDES

Authors: ARAVAMUDHAN Varadaraj, SAI MOHANRAJ Prasanna, SENGODAN Ananth

Abstract: The unexpected COVID-19 outbreak has threatened the world and derailed the socio-economic lives of people. In this context, this study is aimed to discuss the implications of COVID-19 in textiles sector in India along with major issues and challenges on demand and supply sides. This study determines the impact of crisis which affected demand and supply in textiles and fashion industry. COVID-19 has several implications for this industry, be it from demand or production. Its presence is observed in different aspects of the industry. This study uses secondary data collected from various sources like studies published in peer-reviewed journals. This study focuses on the need to think differently to deal with this unexpected crisis. Relaxation of tax compliance rules and deadlines, especially for small-scale segments is one of the potential solutions, so that the conditions of customer demand are not affected directly. In addition, more comprehensive financial relief package could be announced for textiles sector, considering the export- and labor-intensive processes to stem the adverse effects of pandemic. Rebates on exporters could be the next major step against the remission of taxes or duties on exports. This study was conducted during the COVID-19 crisis. More studies would be needed in post COVID era to generalize the findings. The combative measures and actual impact may be evolutionary and dynamic. The analysis focuses on the “out of the box” thinking to deal with unexpected crisis, but it may have different aspects to be discussed as the crisis unfolds. There is a lack of significant research on the impact of COVID-19 on textile industry in India. This study could be the stepping stone for researchers to study the impact on textiles sector and help policymakers to prepare for unexpected crises in future.

Author: Olesea SPEIAN

Abstract: Governments need money for good functioning. Following the COVID – 19 pandemic and the energy crisis, finding sources to cover the budget deficits has become a real challenge. One of the ways of accumulating funds is by issuing government securities through auctions. Thus, countries are continuously concerned about developing the domestic debt market to decrease the dependence on external creditors. The primary dealer system is the most widespread form of cooperation between the issuer and investors. The main goal of the research is to show the influence of the primary dealer system on the development of the government securities market. In order to meet the requirements of the debt manager’s office they have to fulfil certain obligations. Despite the quantitative obligations of the primary dealers, the analysis focuses also on their qualitative aspects. Also, the paper presents a practical experience for selected countries regarding the evaluation of the activity of the primary dealers. The results of this research show a dependence between the development of the domestic government securities market and the methodology for evaluating the activity of the primary dealers.

Author: Dok Hee OH, Kyung Sook GIL

Abstract: The article discusses changes in the foreign economic policy of the Republic of Korea in connection with the deterioration of international trade at the beginning of the XXI century. The direct motive for changing the foreign economic policy of the Republic of Korea is the decline in the role of the WTO as a multilateral trading partner. On the other hand, FTA, based on economic cooperation between the two countries, is becoming a new model for economic development and cooperation in the XXI century.
Bilateral negotiations are more likely to end than multilateral ones, because they are actively conducted in accordance with the interests of two countries. Therefore, free trade agreements (FTAs) are becoming the main direction of the economic policy of the Korea’s government to adapt foreign economic policy and overcome the negative trend of global economic development. An FTA has various economic effects, such as the development of trade between two countries, improving the efficiency of resource allocation, reviving investment between two countries and stimulating economic growth. In accordance with this situation, the Republic of Korea justifies the relevance of trade and economic cooperation between two countries through the conclusion of an FTA as a means of implementing an active foreign economic policy.
The Republic of Korea has become an opportunity to introduce an advanced economic structure through the signing of free trade agreements with advanced countries. On the other hand, it served as an opportunity to strengthen economic cooperation through the signing of free trade agreements with developing countries. For this reason, the experience of the foreign economic policy of the Republic of Korea can serve as a good example for the economic development of developing countries.

Keywords: bilateral cooperation, extension of economic cooperation, stable large market, increase in trade, economic development.

PRESENCE AND ROLE OF MERCENARIES ON THE BATTLEFIELD, INCLUDING THE PARTICIPATION OF MOLDOVAN MERCENARIES IN THE WAR IN UKRAINE

Author: Igor SOROCEANU

Abstract: People are different in their way of being. Some differ according to their origin, race, spoken language, nationality, and other criteria, and others differ according to their ambitions, that is, according to their wishes and visions of the future. Some wishes or visions of the future can be obtained in a short way, but others are more difficult to obtain. Thus, in order to achieve their visions and goals, some people resort to military attacks, which turn into a battlefield. These struggles are carried out in serious violation of all the values of human society. A regrettable part of these fights is the participation of mercenaries in these illegal activities. Therefore, in the present scientific approach, we propose to analyze the participation role of mercenaries on the battlefield.

Keywords: battlefield, military aggression, mercenary, destruction of state property, loss of human life, etc.

GRAVITY MODEL APPROACH FOR EXPORTS ANALYSIS OF REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA BETWEEN 2010 AND 2021

Author: Xenia MIGOVA

Abstract: This paper explores the effects of determinants of bilateral trade on export flows of Republic of Moldova during last decade in the framework of gravity model. Being a structural model with solid theoretical foundations it proves that markets are linked and changes in one partner country can cause changes in trade performance of another partner country. The variables include trade partner’s GDP, economic distance, and Association Agreement membership. Specifically, the model relies on a fixed effect panel estimation for explaining the export flows of the Republic of Moldova. In order to check the viability of the gravity equation, there are  executed statistical tests. Based on the analysis, there are provided policy recommendations for trade policy.

Keywords:gravity model, panel data, Republic of Moldova, export, Association Agreement
