Vol. 7, No 1, 2014
The Journal of International Studies focuses on theoretical and policy-making issues
faced by Central and Eastern European Countries’ (CEEC) economies which were formerly
command or centrally-planned. CEE countries are still facing the strategic and socio-economic choices in the transitional economy, bewaring their situation in global world transformations and challenges of globalization. CEE countries had di
erent reactions towards
the ways of their economic development. Designate veritable priorities in the economy
form a system of strategic purposes and impact a mechanism of their realization.
e Journal also deals with the in-depth debates faced by both transitional and mature
market economies, which could serve as a pattern or a plausible solution for the emerging
economies. We believe that the Journal of International Studieswill serve as a thought–provoking medium for numerous political, economic, social and cultural themes behind the
concept of globalization and international economics, which have long been sought after
by those involved in theoretical and practical considerations of the matter.
We are of the opinion that the elite of the society should be called for a close participation in the transformation processes, and an active role of the academia is most appreciated.
e Journal is dedicated to enhancing the link between academic theory and its application
at both micro and macro levels.
e authors are expected to critically interrogate the much–abused term of globalization and demonstrate, in a highly convincing and eminently readable manner, our need
to adopt a far more creative socio-economic and strategic response to the forces currently
transforming the society at di
erent scales.
e Editorial team encourages all authors to present their material in such a way that
the implications for economists and practitioners are fully explored. us, the research
community bene ts by linking academic activity to end-user concerned.
is Journal can extend your understanding of key issues and build a framework for
future research and policy formulation. By highlighting new perspectives on major economic trends, the Journal of International Studies assists in nding solutions to the problems facing many economies around the world today.
e current issue of the Journal of International Studies focuses on two main topics:
