This paper reflects on the different faces of asset-based welfare from both a theoretical and an empirical perspective. It shows that asset-based welfare can be perceived as a lever for welfare state restructuring but also as an instrument for poverty eradication. In most countries, asset-based welfare policies focus on stimulating home-ownership. The general idea is that by becoming a homeowner, households build up equity that can be released for care and pension purposes in old age. However, there are signs that such policies increase inequality between homeowners (depending on the location of the dwelling and/or the period in which it was bought), but particularly so between homeowners and tenants. We therefore contend that home-ownership based welfare policies need a clear and fundamental specification of the role of the government: how to deal with housing market risks and how to prevent politically unacceptable levels of inequality and exclusion?

Początek XXI wieku to konsolidacja procesu globalizacji, w którym od końca lat 80. XX wieku hegemoniczna pozycja Stanów Zjednoczonych została osłabiona, a środowisko międzynarodowe zaczęło zmierzać w kierunku systemu wielobiegunowego charakteryzującego się wieloma gospodarkami wschodzącymi. W tym kontekście nowe podmioty niepaństwowe, takie jak organizacje pozarządowe lub międzynarodowe firmy, których rola w przeszłości była ograniczona, zaczęły zyskiwać na znaczeniu. Proces globalizacji spowodował, że firmy stawały się coraz bardziej widoczne na arenie międzynarodowej. W szczególności kryzys finansowy rozpoczęty w 2008 roku wywołał załamanie rynków krajowych i spowodował, że wiele firm zaczęło spoglądać poza granice swoich państw, chcąc przetrwać i skorzystać z ogromnych możliwości oferowanych przez potencjalnie nowe rynki zagraniczne. Dlatego, aby jeszcze bardziej realizować swoje cele, zarówno rządy, jak i transnarodowe przedsiębiorstwa powinny dostosować narzędzia dyplomacji i jej zdolności do własnych potrzeb. Z tego względu tak ważne jest, aby dyplomacja korporacyjna łączyła w sobie elementy polityki, praktyki oraz instrumenty i struktury organizacyjne. Tylko w ten sposób można przetrwać w dzisiejszym szybko zmieniającym się globalnym środowisku biznesowym. Tylko przez interakcje zachodzące między nimi oraz pozostałymi podmiotami na arenie międzynarodowej, państwa i międzynarodowe firmy będą w stanie korzystać ze wspomnianej zmiany odnoszącej się do światowej gospodarki.

The beginning of 21st century has witnessed the consolidation of a process of globalization, where since the 1980s the hegemonic position of the United States has weakened and the international environment is moving towards a multipolar system with emerging economies adopting an increasing power. In this context, new non-state actors, such as non governmental organizations or multinational firms, have adopted an important role in the stage of international relations that in the past was limited to states and international organizations. The globalization process forced firms to operate internationally, and the financial crisis started in 2008 provoked the contraction of domestic markets and obliged governments and many firms from industrialized economies to look beyond the limits of their home states if they wanted to survive and benefit from the enormous opportunities offered by the new potential foreign markets. In order to achieve this, both governments and multinational firms should adapt diplomacy and its capabilities to their own specific needs. Commercial diplomacy includes policies, practices, instruments and organizational structures that governments and multinational firms should adopt at different levels to survive in today’s rapidly changing global business environment. Only by interacting between them and with the rest of actors within the international sphere, states and multinational firms will benefit from the switch in the balance of economic power.

After Macedonia’s division following the Balkan wars between Serbia, Greece and Bulgaria, a planned action was launched to denationalise the Macedonian nation and assimilate it with Balkan states. For Macedonian children in Vardar, Aegean and Pirin Macedonia the languages of school tuition were foreign to them. During the World War I on the territories occupied by Bulgaria, children were taught in Bulgarian by teachers specially sent there or those who had come before, usually Orthodox clergymen (exarchate). Such a policy was continued and still reinforced in the interwar period, with a view to destroying the Macedonian culture and language used in daily life. All public Macedonian demonstrations were prohibited.

The main aim of this article is to investigate relevant policy problems regarding religions and their impact on politics or vice versa, introduced by some members of religious movements and governments in Africa. The study is based on the main largest religions in Africa, Christianity and Islam and their followers. In the next few decades the African Muslim population is expected to grow at a faster rate, and this fact will have a great consequence regarding the impact of Islam which may dominate politics in Africa. Religious organizations are also engaged in launching their struggle for the control of political power; one of the best example could be successful control of governance strategy by the Islamists in Sudan, which led to persecution and imposing of Islamic law on Christians and other believers. In many African countries religions are used inappropriately for political purposes. The impact of religion is also used for manipulation. It also helps to adopt laws to fulfil the particular interests of ruling class. Religious based governments, do not respect the sphere of privacy for individuals and collective religious freedom, while they support only their religious preferences. On the other hand, they persecute and repress others. There are some signs of reinforcement of secular trends and the establishment of law guaranteeing division of religion and states in Africa. The main purpose of the linkage between religion and political power is intended to have full control over the citizens and to fight, repress or eliminate political and religious opponents.

Each terrorist organisation is modelled with four coupled differential time equations for the evo-lution of ideologues, criminal mercenaries, captive participants, and capital sponsoring. Emigration of ideologues may cause unbounded growth of the organisation receiving ideologues. The organisation losing ideologues may reach a stationary state where ideologues are supported by capital sponsors and mercenaries. Emigration of mercenaries may cause the organisation losing mercenaries to experience growth. The organisation receiving mercenaries may lose capital sponsors permanently, allowing for the presence of mercenaries, or capital sponsors may rebound deterring mercenaries. Emigration of ideologues from one organisation to another requires more government intervention into the latter to ensure termination. Emigration of mercenaries from one organisation to another may require more gov-ernment intervention into the latter, since mercenaries support ideologues. Competing terrorist organi-sations may facilitate their mutual extinction. Various intervention strategies are considered: the most threatening organisation is eliminated first, aided by competition from the least threatening, after which the remaining organisation is eliminated. The government’s instantaneous and accumulated utilities are analysed through time and compared, depending on emigration, competition, and government interven-tion strategies.
