This approach focuses on economic, social and political institutions and organizations that account for this capitalist diversity. Political power which drives institutional change is critical importance for understanding the formationof these institutions and their consequences for wealth or income in parallel with public choice theory. This paper emphasizes two assertions. First, even though advocates of neo-liberalism claim that all nations convergence to a single development path, capitalism is a complex socio-economic order that has developed at different places and times, so, secondly, apart from varieties of capitalism which focus on advanced capitalist nations, there are rich variety of new forms of capitalism which shaped by domestic and international structural forces in emerging market economies. From this perspective, it is a comparative institutional approach. In this context it aims to explain how Turkish capitalism has evolved from state capitalism to a hybrid variety of capitalism in the neoliberal era. This clearly implies that there is a high degree of continuity between the different policy phases. The coexistence of this continuity and change points out the importance of institutional path dependency in development process.

The main objective of the study is to identify difficulties experienced by Bosnian companies when they enter into different global markets. Exports to foreign countries involve numerous problems and present a high risk strategy. The company on which I will be based in this study is "Alfe-Mi" company that specializes in selling products on the domestic and foreign markets. Formulating a market entry strategy means that management must decide which option or options to use in pursuing opportunities outside of the home country. Export is one of the fastest ways of entering foreign markets. The field of export marketing covers all those marketing activities involved when a firm markets its products outside its main base of operation and when products are physically shipped from one market of country or another. Difficulties faced by companies when entering the foreign market are: religion,language,taxes,bureaucracy,political instability etc. The major challenges of export marketing are the selection of appropriate markets or countries through marketing research, the determination of appropriate product modification to meet the demand requirements of export markets and the development of export channels through which the company can market its products abroad. Primary data use in this study is direct interview with managers and employers in Alfe-Mi Company. Secondary data use in this study is information and data were collected from books and various websites to help me understand and analyze barriers when company exiting on foreign markets. Other secondary data sources that were utilized are literature review from the company brochure and textbooks. Results will show the main motive for „Alfe-Mi“to go international is the level of demand for Alfe-Mi's products in foreign markets. When the company entered the foreign market, it faces the barriers and finding a solution for the difficulties. In order for the company to be able to adopt on the foreign market they have to have unique product with flexible prices.

The authors of this paper take into account demographic information from the surveys handed out to citizens of Kosovo, and try to correlate them with their motives for travel to the EU Member states. The study argues that visa liberalization for Kosovo is of imperative importance in preparing Kosovo for EU membership. The study also argues that citizens of Kosovo benefit substantially by creating networks with professionals in the areas of research, technology, and education. These networks could potentially lead to local businesses gaining from outsourcing, which would overtime increase economic development of the country. However, the study’s focal point is the analysis of the survey of Kosovo’s on how they would utilize the EU visa liberalization regime, using descriptive, correlation, and regression analysis. The descriptive statistics and simple correlation analysis show a strong negative correlation between employment status, and work and study as a reason for visiting the EU member states after visa liberalization, while there is strong positive correlation between employment status and business, tourism and research as reasons for visiting the EU. Similarly, strong correlations have been found between education level of the respondents and their age group as demographics in one side, and work, study, tourism, doing business, and conducting research as reasons for visiting EU after the visa liberalization regime is granted to Kosovo.

However, according to Keynesian school, governments apply for the taxes not only for public funding, but also for achieving the objectives of fiscal policy. Recently, politicians have used the taxes as a tool to ensure the economic stability, equality in income distribution and economic growth. Among these objectives, economic growth refers to the net increase in national income. Traditional growth theories have failed to explain the growth using capital accumulation and labor. But, new endogenous growth theory investigates also the impact on growth of the public policy. Different taxes have different effects in the economy. If taxes examine as direct and indirect taxes, the first effect of indirect taxes on economy is related to resource allocation through the price mechanism. The first effect of direct taxes such as income and corporate tax is on saving and investment decisions of individuals. The rates on these taxes should be lower for decisions of economic agents. The high taxation of this earning has led to the badly affected of labor, capital and technology located among growth factors. As a result, entrepreneurship can be reduced; saving and investment decisions can be influenced negatively. On the other hand, the taxation of capital may also lead to balance of payment problems in country by leaving the country of capital. Investment and saving are the main tools of growth. Therefore, the use of taxes for providing economic growth is extremely important. The relationship between economic growth and taxes is discussed in many studies. The share of total tax revenues to GDP in Croatia is 14.8% in 1991, 22.97% in 1996, 22.4% in 2000 and 18.6% in 2011. GDP growth rate is 5.2% in 1996, 3.75% in 2000 and -0.92% in 2011 respectively. In this study, the relationship between growth and tax revenues is analyzed by using Johansen Cointegration and Causality tests in Croatia between 1991-2011 periods. Johansen Cointegration test results reveal the existence of a positive and significant relation between growth and tax revenues. In the long term, the impact of taxes on growth is significant and positive. Granger causality test findings indicate that there is causality from growth to tax revenues in the 10% significance level.

Waqf’s were fulfilling many activities related to social, cultural and economic life in the settlements. Ghazi HusrevBey established a waqf in 1537 and has built a complex of buildings in Bosnia. This complex of buildings consists of mosque, madrasah, tomb, primary school, lodge, guest house, soup kitchen, hospice, bath, caravanserai, bazaar and library. These all institutions of the Ghazi HusrevBeyWaqf have played an important role in regional economic development of Bosnia. Institutions that were established in the centre of city have played active role for regional development for centuries. The waqf has had an impact on not only economically, but socially, culturally and in the fields of public health in the development of region. In this study, Ghazi HusrevBeyWaqf’s budgets will be examined years of 1624-25, 1625-26, 1626-27, 1627-28, and 1628-29. Thus, after nearly half a century the waqf's income and expense will be examined in detail through financial records. Revenues of the waqf consist of the farm, caravanserai, bath, inns and shops for rent in the bazaar and revenues of tax-farming. The expenses of the waqf consist of salaries of employees in mosque and hospice, hospice’s needs for food and other needs of waqf’s institution. With these establishments, waqf created employment in the area and by demanding goods and services from the city and regional market made an economic liveliness in the regional economy. These five-year financial records show us waqf’s yearly income and outcome activities. Waqf’s budgets were derived from the Ottoman Archives in Istanbul.
