Pollin reviewed by ThEODORE P. lIANOS aim and scope of ASECU was founded in 1996 as Association of South-Eastern Eu- rope Economic Universities with the general aim of promoting the interests of those economic universities in South-Eastern Europe which are public, recognized or financed by the state of origin. At the General Assembly of 2007 it was decided to enlarge ASECU and to take in the countries of eastern Europe and the black Sea re- gion and associated members from the Middle East and north-eastern Africa. ASECU was modified inAssociation of Economic Universi- ties of South and Eastern Europe and Black Sea Region and pres- ently counts forty five (45) members. Forty one (41) of them are full members from the countries Albania, Armenia, bosnia-herzegovina, bulgaria, FYROM, Greece, Montenegro, Poland, Russia, Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, Turkey and Ukraine. As associated members have been accepted four (4) Universities from lebanon and Egypt. The specific aims of the Association are: To promote cooperation between Economic Universities, Faculties, Departments; i.e., especially: a) to exchange views and information about syllabi, b) to exchange undergraduate and postgraduate stu- dents and c) to exchange teaching and research staff. To provide members with the opportunity exchange information, opinions etc. by publishing a relevant scientific journal or by co- operation in elaborating scientific studies in relation to the future development of higher education and research as well as to improve their quality in the field of economic studies and business adminis- tration. To undertake initiatives for the protection of the interests of mem- bers and their institutions, so as to be supported by international organizations and in particular by the higher education institutions of the European Union. To encourage cooperation between universities inside and outside the countries referred to in the Association. To pursue cooperation in the field of higher education with the con- solidation of close relations with other organisations having similar aims, e.g. E.U.A.; To provide opportunities for harmonising the degrees of faculties and departments of the universities participating in the Association; To promote cooperation between economic universities, faculties, departments in the field of research for the benefit of the economy, the society, peace and the cultural development of the countries re- ferred to the Association.

GeneRAl tRends And the south eAsteRn euRoPeAn countRIes Donato MASCIANDARO* Department of Economics and Paolo baffi Centre, bocconi University MARC QUINTYN IMF Institute, International Monetary Fund, Washington Abstract We propose a path-dependence approach to analyzing the evolution of the fi- nancial supervisory architecture, focusing on the institutional role of the central bank, and then apply our framework to describing the institutional settings in a selected sample of countries. the policymaker who decides to maintain or reform the supervisory architecture is influenced by the existing institutional setting in a systematic way: the more the central bank is actually involved in supervision, the less likely a more concentrated supervisory regime will emerge, and vice versa (path-dependence effect). We test the path-dependence effect describing and evaluating the evolution and the present state of the architecture of six national supervisory regimes in south eastern europe (see): Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, serbia, and turkey. the study of the see countries confirms the postu- lated role of the central bank in the institutional setting. In five cases the high in- volvement of the central bank in supervision is correlated with a multi-authority regime, while in one case a high degree of financial supervision unification is related with low central bank involvement.

QUINTYN, South-Eastern Europe Journal of Economics 1 (2010) 7-53 1. Introduction Over the last few years the financial supervision landscape has been radically trans- formed. Many countries have made deep reforms of the architecture of financial su- pervision, and more are contemplating changes. In the last twenty years (1986-2006) 94% of the countries included in a large and heterogeneous sample of 102 nations chose to reform their financial supervisory setting (Figure 1). The restructuring wave is making the supervisory regimes less uniform than in the past (Masciandaro and Quintyn 2009). In several cases the architecture still reflects the classic structure, with separate agencies for banking, securities and insurance supervision. however, an

Since then it has become the leading American research and teaching institution in Greece, and indeed it is the largest of all the American overseas research centers. Today, the School pursues a multifaceted mission to advance knowledge of Greece from antiquity to the present day, including its connections with other areas of the ancient and early modern world, by train- ing young scholars, conducting and promoting archaeological fieldwork, providing resources for scholarly work, and disseminating research. The ASCSA is also charged by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports with primary responsibility for all American archaeological research, and is actively engaged in supporting the investigation, preservation, and presentation of Greece’s cultural heritage.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The theoretical objective of this thesis is of a synthetic nature, for it makes an effort to build up a picture of human activity on the islands concerned, that is their social, economic and cultural evolution in Pre­ historic times. However, the method followed is largely analytical, since archaeological data are combined with results from other disciplines in order to reconstruct the Prehistory of these islands, no matter how incomplete and unambitious this may be. A total of 71 Prehistoric sites have been identified so far. Most of them are on elevated locations near the coast and date from Middle Minoan III to Late Minoan I. Late and Final Neolithic occupation is also represented by numerous sites, whereas the scantiness of Early Bronze Age sites may be attributed to the deficiency of surface investigation and lack of strati­ graphy.

  • The Ottoman Era in the Context of Long-Term Settlemen History
    THE OTTOMAN ERA IN THE CONTEXT OF LONG-TERM SETTLEMEN HISTORY. A CASE-STUDY : THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE VALLEY OF THE MUSES, BOEOTIA, GREECE John BINTLIFF Archaeology Department, Durham University, U.K. It is a great pleasure to be able to contribute to a volume dedicated to a remarkable and widely-learned scholar, and friend, Machiel Kiel. At a recent colloquium on Ottoman Archaeology at Cambridge University, I was able to joke - with some truth - that Machiel was one of the best things in my career as an archaeologist, that I had 'dug up'. We began to collaborate on the use of Ottoman defters for the central Greek province of Boeotia in 1985, and the present article hopefully will give an impression of the revolutionary possibilities that Machiel's scholarship has opened up for a topic - post Classical Greek Archaeology, that has only just begun to develop. In the 1980's the Bradford-Cambridge Boeotia Project, directed by myself and Anthony Snodgrass of Cambridge University (Bintliff, 1991; Bintliff & Snodgrass, 1985 ; Bintliff & Snodgrass, 1988a ; Bintliff & Snodgrass, 1988b), extended its intensive archaeological field survey programme within the chora (dependent countryside) of ancient Thespiae city and that of Haliartos into the Valley of the Muses (Figure 1). Our total field by field surface survey relied on the counting of surface densities of ceramics to separate 'occupation sites' and cemeteries from offsite pottery - here very numerous - which represents intensive manuring in antiquity (Bintliff & Snodgrass, 1988c). As late as 1994, the Valley of the Muses was virtually empty of people for much of the year, being farmed extensively in olives and cereals together with - chiefly at its eastern end - vineyards, from the modern villages of Panayia/Askra and Neochori which are situated on the outer hilly rim at the entry to the enclosed basin.
