  • The Georgian Orthodox Church: National Identity and Political Influence
    October 2015 Traditional religion and political power: Examining the role of the church in Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine and Moldova Edited by Adam Hug The publication examines the political and social role of the Orthodox Churches in Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova and of the Armenian Apostolic Church. It explores the ways in which the churches have contributed to the development of national identities since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the role they play in civil society. The publication looks at the nature of the relationship between church and state; how the churches influence, support and challenge the secular authorities in their hold on power and their response to 'traditional values' issues such as LGBTI and minority faith rights. The publication also looks at the ways in which the Russian Orthodox Church and Russian Government have been looking to influence this debate in these countries. The publication contains contributions from: Professor Yulia Antonyan, Yerevan State University; Eka Chitanava, Tolerance and Diversity Institute; Stepan Danielyan, Collaboration for Democracy Centre; Adam Hug (ed.), Foreign Policy Centre; Myroslav Marynovych, Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv; Victor Munteanu, Soros Foundation Moldova; Rev. Fr. Dr Daniel Payne; Professor Oleksandr Sagan, Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy and Irakli Vacharadze, Executive Director, Identoba. Kindly supported by the Open Society Foundations. The publication is available at: http://fpc.org.uk/publications/orthodox Excerpt from the publication, p.40 The Georgian Orthodox Church: National Identity and Political Influence Eka Chitanava1 The Georgian Orthodox Church in the Imperial and Soviet Past In 1811, Russian Emperor Alexander I abolished the autocephaly of the Georgian Orthodox Church and placed it under the command of the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Using a multiethnic village as an example case, it follows the changes in migratory patterns and control of cross- border migration by the Vietnamese state, from the collectivization era to the early Đổi Mới reforms and into the post-Cold War era. In so doing, it demonstrates that while negotiations between border crossers and the state around the social accep- tance (“licit-ness”) and illegality of cross-border migration were invisible during the 1980s and 1990s, they have come to the fore since the 2000s.

  • SURINAME 1. General Trends Suriname's Economy Contracted By
    Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean ▪ 2016 1 SURINAME 1. General trends Suriname’s economy contracted by an estimated 2% in 2015, as falling oil and gold prices took their toll on the real, fiscal and monetary sectors of the economy. This represented a major turnaround from the growth of 2.8% in 2013 and 1.8% in 2014. In addition to lower prices for Suriname’s commodities, the Suralco alumina refinery was shut down in late 2015, when parent company Alcoa decided to streamline its business. As a result, exports and foreign-exchange earnings fell steeply last year. International reserves decreased by almost half in 2015. The central bank, finding it increasingly difficult to maintain the United States currency peg, devalued the Surinamese dollar (Sr$) by 20.5% in November 2015. This was followed by foreign-currency auctions in March 2016 and the introduction of a freely floating exchange-rate regime in May 2016. As a result, the exchange rate rose from 3.35 Surinamese dollars (Sr$) per United States dollar (US$) in early November 2015 to over Sr$ 6 per US$ 1 in May 2016. In April 2016 Suriname reached a staff-level agreement with the IMF for balance-of- payments support in the amount of US$ 478 million over two years. The agreement comes with a raft of structural reforms aimed at increasing government revenues and improving fiscal and monetary policy frameworks. The fiscal deficit expanded in 2015, as the government faced lower commodity-related revenues and higher spending in the lead-up to the May 2015 general election.

  • Modelling Australian Dollar Volatility at Multiple Horizons with High-Frequency Data
    risks Article Modelling Australian Dollar Volatility at Multiple Horizons with High-Frequency Data Long Hai Vo 1,2 and Duc Hong Vo 3,* 1 Economics Department, Business School, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia; [email protected] 2 Faculty of Finance, Banking and Business Administration, Quy Nhon University, Binh Dinh 560000, Vietnam 3 Business and Economics Research Group, Ho Chi Minh City Open University, Ho Chi Minh City 7000, Vietnam * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 1 July 2020; Accepted: 17 August 2020; Published: 26 August 2020 Abstract: Long-range dependency of the volatility of exchange-rate time series plays a crucial role in the evaluation of exchange-rate risks, in particular for the commodity currencies. The Australian dollar is currently holding the fifth rank in the global top 10 most frequently traded currencies. The popularity of the Aussie dollar among currency traders belongs to the so-called three G’s—Geology, Geography and Government policy. The Australian economy is largely driven by commodities. The strength of the Australian dollar is counter-cyclical relative to other currencies and ties proximately to the geographical, commercial linkage with Asia and the commodity cycle. As such, we consider that the Australian dollar presents strong characteristics of the commodity currency. In this study, we provide an examination of the Australian dollar–US dollar rates. For the period from 18:05, 7th August 2019 to 9:25, 16th September 2019 with a total of 8481 observations, a wavelet-based approach that allows for modelling long-memory characteristics of this currency pair at different trading horizons is used in our analysis.
