    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Aktivnosti Bosne i Hercegovine u cilju realizaciji Centralnoevropskog ugovora o slobodnoj   trgovini - CEFTA 2006.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[U smislu značaja za zaključivanje Centralnog Evropskog sporazuma o slobodnoj trgovini (dalje: CEFTA 2006), svjedoči upravo činjenica da isti dovodi do unapređenja trgovačke i investicione politike u zemaljama Jugoistočne Evrope, pa je za očekivati da je i pristup Bosne i Hercegovine (od 200.) navedenom doveo do nekih unaprjeđenja kada je privreda u pitanju. Ovo je posebno od značaja ako se uzme u obzir da se ovim sporazumom mogu postići važni rezultati za zaštitu državne privrede. Zaštita, a ujedno i ciljevi se ogledaju u, olakšanim uslovima za odvijanje poljoprivredne trgovine, trgovine uslugama, potom u ukidanju necarinskih barijera između zemalja regiona, u saradnji carinskih organa, investiranju, notifikaciji državne pomoći, u zaštiti prava intelektualnog vlasništva i u koncentraciji industrije. Ne čudi potom činjenica da 2006. godine BiH među prvih desetak zemalja potpisnica CEFTA-e nije potpisala sporazum sve do 2007. godine jer su zahtjevani povoljniji uslovi za poljoprivredno-prehrambenu trgovinu nego li što ih ima u odnosu na dvostrane sporazume sa pojedinim susjednim zemljama. Naime, ovdje treba naglasiti da zona slobodne trgovine, koju garantuje CEFTA 2006., u potpunosti odgovara odredbama ovog sporazuma i pravilima, te procedurama koje propisuje Svjetska Trgovinska Organizacija (dalje: WTO) - (bez obzira da li država bila članica navedene Organizacije ili ne). S obzirom da BiH već duži niz godina pretenduje za članstvo u Evropskoj Uniji (dalje: EU), potpisivanje ovog sporazuma zasigurno obezbjeđuje veoma dobru platformu za pristup istoj. Ovo posebno ako se ima u vidu činjenica da su se sve države koje su stranke sporazuma CEFTA 2006.,obavezale da će razvijati i implementirati dobre trgovačke odnose sa državama članicama EU, a u skladu sa pravilima WTO. Stoga se može naslutiti da sporazum CEFTA 2006., ima veliku ulogu i za BiH privredu i njen razvoj – sve do stupanja BiH i njeno članstvo u EU.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[U radu se analiziraju specifičnosti, dinamika i aktualni trendovi u sklopu instituta uzdržavanja  između srodnika.  Autor ističe kako antropološka podloga i društvena verifikacija prava i obveze srodničkog  uzdržavanja usporedno osnažuju ovaj segment obiteljskih odnosa. Kritički analizira važeće normativne  pristupe i stajališta pravne prakse, navodeći aktualne dvojbe i poteškoće u ostvarivanju tog prava  unutar različitih kategorija srodnika. Navodi nužnost promjene nekih normativnih rješenja u svrhu  omogućavanja jednostavnijeg postupka i lakšeg ostvarivanja prava na uzdržavanje, te naglašava potrebu  većeg i učinkovitijeg angažmana državnih tijela u situacijama kada izostane ispunjavanje obveze od  strane davatelja uzdržavanja.  Ključne riječi: pravo i obveza uzdržavanja, obiteljska i srodnička solidarnost, uzdržavanje između  različitih kategorija srodnika, društvena intervencija.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Alan Paton’s Cry, the Beloved Country: Narrating Pain and Oppression]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Alan Paton, in Cry, the Beloved Country, heightens sensitivities throughout the world to the unrelenting, legalized racial discrimination in South Africa. Not onlydoes he dramatically portray the exploitation of native black people in a country where they have always been the majority, but he also creates a hopeful view of bringing change about through compassion and empowerment rather than through violence. He presents this vision at a time when the issue was unpopular with white people in many nations and through a story that is more revelatory than shocking or inflammatory.        Stephen Kumalo clearly represents the native black South African from a traditional tribal community, specifically a Zulu tradition. He has the naiveté of the humble country parson with little worldly experience out of his familiar environment.    Some literary critics would call him the suffering hero: He must experience suffering before he attains a complete awareness of life and makes the most of his talent and creativity. Even his first name recalls the Christian saint who underwent martyrdom through suffering. Stephen is not without faults. He has his share of pride (as first seen when he boards the train and pretends to be someone of importance) and even a measure of quick anger (as seen with Gertrude, Absalom, and John). As the story begins, Stephen’s attitude toward the socio-political situation around him is somewhat detached.      James Jarvis, too, is revealed through his words and actions. The readers suffer with him through the tragedy of his son’s death and learn that he is very human in his own grief and suffering, yet not quick to vengeance or retaliation.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Albanian Management Consulting Industry]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper analyzes the last decade evolution of the Management Consulting Industry in Albania. Consulting firms need to stay competitive through providing their expertise world-wide that is why many international firms have expanded in Albania, including the BIG FOUR. On the other hand, the profitability of this industry has attracted also the start-up of national consulting firms. This paper focuses on making a comparison between international vs. domestic consulting firms. The paper investigates the business entry strategy of both type of companies and compares the services and the core competences that enable them to maintain a competitive advantage. These companies mostly perform accounting and auditing services, which are also a requirement from both mother-company (if applicable) and the state. For other services such as: business strategy consultancy, human resources and organizational development consultancy, management control consultancy there is a lack of understanding, consequently a lower demand for such services. The paper finds that international consulting firms enjoy generally higher customer loyalty because of their brand reputation, but domestic first compete with offering lower prices for the same services. Taking in consideration that consultancy has become global, Albanian consulting firms are expanding in the region, with a special focus on Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro market.    Lastly, the paper analyzes the Albanian consulting market based on the five forces of Porter. There are no legal barriers to enter this industry, but the market size is relatively still small and the BIG FOUR (mostly Deloitte and KPMG) dominate 80% of the market and there is also a lack of quality of suppliers and human capital. In the long-term, the expected increasing number of national and international firms operating in Albania enables a growing opportunity for the consultancy industry.  Keywords: management consulting industry, international consulting firms, domestic consulting firms, business strategy, 5 forces of Porter.     ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[ALBANIAN OBSERVATION PHRASEOLOGY WITH THAT OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE FORMED BY METAPHORS]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In today’s communication in schools, workplaces and communities has increased significantly being intermingled and involved with English language. Albanian and English languages have many phraseology units. They are formed by the transformation of the syntagm with two or more denominator units (noun, adjective, verb, adverb, etc). This figurative transformation is realized with comparison, hyperbola, litotes, metaphor, metonymy, etc. Both languages use all these means of communication. Our thesis focuses particularly on the formation of phraseology units with metaphors and aims to analyze how they are formed in four steps of transformation using the structure of:  a)- free syntagm (phrase), (or free phrase).  b)- syntagm (phrase) with comparison (with connectors: as, like ).  c)- syntagm (phrase) with metaphor (connector falls).   d)- formation of phraseology units.  This process is similar in both languages, but there isn’t compliance and equality in their formation. By juxtaposing the phrases units in both languages, we aim at shedding some light on the main similarities and differences which seem to bring the languages closer but also create a gap between them, pointing out the common or universal features as well as the originality and the unique character of each language. If we analyze some phrasal units taken out from the dictionary (Phraseology English- Albanian dictionary by I. Stefanllari 1998) we notice that the units of English language are formed differently from the Albanian ones. This can prove the occurrence of linguistic relativism.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Albanian Performance in Target Achievements toward 2020 Growth Strategy]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Albania being part of South East Europe is trying to meet the standards of European Union by stating a clear vision for 2020 growth strategy, which is similar to European Union’s “Europe 2020 Growth Strategy”. This strategy consists of economic reforms implementation according to five growth pillars: 1- Integrated growth; 2- Smart growth; 3- Sustainable growth; 4- Inclusive growth; and 5- Governance for growth. Albania strives to achieve the EU standards in order to be considered for a further inclusion to EU, but from the other side it has to cooperate with SEE countries in order benefit from a win-win situation.    The first aim of this study is the analysis of the Albanian economic conditions comparing to the other SEE countries. Albania is generally founded below the SEE averages in the growth pillar achievements. Meanwhile there are some components of these pillars where Albania shows a better performance but still too far from the European Union countries. This list includes indicators such as: estimated software piracy rates related to smart growth, entrepreneurship related to sustainable growth, employment (15+) related to Inclusive growth.     The second aim is the comparison of the present and the future of Albania taking into the consideration the reforms to meet the 2020 growth targets. Although the time left, less than six year, is very limited to meet the above mentioned strategy, Albania has its capacities to fulfill all the tasks. Lastly, this study draws some specific recommendations and conclusions for the Albanian case based on the above figures and on the new reforms of the last elected government in Albania.       Keywords: Economic Growth, European Union, SEE Countries, Albania.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Albanian Trade and Income Inequality]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Briefly, this research paper will demonstrate if the forecasts of Heckscher-Ohlin theory, that inequality increases in wealthy countries and decrease in developing countries, like Albania, as a result of increased trade, is true for our case.    This paper uses theoretical and empirical research with the intention of showing how trade and trade liberalization influence income distribution and income inequality. Trade liberalization enhances overall welfare; most of the time gains from trade are considerable but are not distributed equally. The focus of this research paper is finding out how this affects Albania in particular. These effects of trade are evaluated essentially through price changes, keeping under spotlight the possible changes in relative demand for domestic factors of production, especially the demand for skilled compared to unskilled labor.    The regression model is used to find the correlation between trade and income inequality in Albania for years 2000-2011. Albanian trade parameters are taken from the Albanian Institution of Statistics and World Bank and are compared to the measures of inequalities in the country to extrapolate a conclusion in regards the impact of trade openness on income inequalities. Greater sincerity to world markets can affect income distribution between and within countries. So the increase in growth due to trade openness has a pejorative effect on the poor and causes unequal distribution of income. Based on the findings, trade liberalization is found to be related to income inequality. Does inequality increases in capital and land abundant countries while decreases in labor abundant countries when they experience trade liberalization?       Keywords: Trade liberalization, income inequality, Heckscher-Ohlin theory, capital.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The last years in Greece second generation immigrants who study at Greek  schools use Greek language fluently and in many cases they speak Greek in such a  proficiency that are not recognizable as non-Greeks. Primarily this means that these  individuals master the mechanism of parole. Moreover, these persons meet the  demands of education, which signifies the mastering of langue. In a secondary level  of approach the question arising is whether the structural elements of langue i.e. the  archetypes corresponding to abstract notions are similar to those of the greek native  speakers. Considering that young Greeks acquire the ‗greek‘ meaning of a word, the  research is focused on the examination of the way young immigrants acquire the  meanings of words. More specifically, which way young immigrants perceive  abstract meanings? In their own linguistic frame or through dominant language? In  other words, I shall approach the production of langue in its base, i.e. in the level of  the abstract notions.]]></dcterms:abstract>
