SUMMARY OF RESULTS All seven project countries, namely Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan completed their activities according to the project workplan. Altogether 2 regional, 7 national, 9 coaching and 28 local capacity-building workshops were organized. The training package including modules on green economy and sustainable forest management, wood energy, forest policy formulation, and forest data collection and reporting, have been produced for the benefits of the participants. In addition, the training package included variety of participatory exercises to better introduce methodology for stakeholder engagement. Based on the workshop evaluations 91% of the participants acknowledged increased knowledge on policy formulation, bioenergy generation and data collection related to sustainable forest management and green economy. Three pilot countries, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan made a progress towards inclusion of green economy principles into the national forestry sector’s strategies and programmes. With support of the project, Georgia developed a national action plan for the forest sector in a green economy based on the input received from four local workshops.

  • Liberalization of the Republic of Belarus Financial Market Within the Eaeu
    LIBERALIZATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS FINANCIAL MARKET WITHIN THE EAEU Report 36 Centre for Integration Studies Saint Petersburg 2016 UDC 336.025 BBK 65.050.63.3 Editor of the series of reports: Evgeny Vinokurov, PhD (Econ) Managing Editor: Anna Isakova Copyeditor: Lyubov Tamazova Proofreader: Sergey Tarakanov Layout: Yaroslav Podkorytov Authors: Mikhail Demidenko, PhD (Econ) (EDB Centre for Integration Studies); Igor Pelipas, PhD (Econ); Irina Tochitskaya, PhD (Econ) (Institute of Privatization and Management Research Center). Project manager: Mikhail Demidenko, EDB Centre for Integration Studies. Liberalization of the Republic of Belarus Financial Market within the EAEU. — St. Petersburg: Centre for Integration Studies, 2016. — p. 55 ISBN 978-5-906157-27-0 The anticipated formation of a common financial market within the EAEU opens up new opportunities for Belarus to attract resources into its economy and enhance the efficiency of the distribution of financial resources, and creates the basis for incentivizing trade in financial services. At the same time, the combining of financial markets also entails a number of challenges for the country. In this connection, the purpose of this study was, first, to examine international experience in liberalizing access to the domestic financial market for foreign financial service providers, and in lifting restrictions in the area of the cross-border movement of capital and simplification of exchange arrangements; and second, to identify the risks that Belarus may encounter as the result of liberalization of its financial market within the EAEU. The study is based on the assumption that Belarus will fulfill the obligations it has assumed with respect to the formation of an EAEU common market (in particular, liberalization of the financial account, eliminating mandatory surrender of foreign exchange, etc.), and the recommendations offered in the paper are aimed at reducing possible risks.

  • Gender Equity in STEM in Higher Education
    “Gender, STEM, and education are mainstays of global economic and develop- ment agendas, but finally Ro, Fernandez, and Ramon have created a broadly representative collection of empirical and conceptual work that addresses issues of access at the institutional level alongside accounts of the experiences and choices that individual women make as part of their everyday experiences and inequities as they participate in STEM education and eventually in their profes- sional lives as well. This volume bridges the macro-to-micro gap better than any I’ve seen on this topic.” – Alexander W. Wiseman, Professor of Educational Psychology & Leadership, Texas Tech University, USA “The editors and contributors of this penetrating volume fill a hole in the comparative higher education literature. Readers will appreciate the attention to the worldwide pipeline, to intersectionality, and to policy approaches that may effect greater gender equity in STEM at a global level.” – David M. Post, Professor of Education at Pennsylvania State University and Past-President of Comparative and International Education Society, USA “A talented group of emerging scholars have spearheaded a timely contribu- tion to STEM higher education on six continents. It will, undoubtedly, make significant contributions to factors affecting linkages among gender and uni- versity enrollments and degree completions. This anthology impressively dis- cusses topics – culture, demographics, geography, and statistics – as variables, contributing to enhanced comprehension of STEM and its impact on higher education among different types of university structures.” – Beverly Lindsay, Co-Director and Principal Investigator, Division of Social Sci- ences, University of California, USA “Gender Equity in STEM provides a balance and much needed examination of gender and STEM at the global level, and, across ten countries.

The main purpose of the conference is to adopt and sign the modernised Energy 1 Charter, which will be known as the International Energy Charter. The aim of this conference and political declaration is to stimulate international energy cooperation. I am organising this ministerial conference in close cooperation with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation. What is the purpose of this initiative? The Energy Charter was born from a Dutch initiative resulting from the 1990 Lubbers Plan. This plan envisaged the integration of the energy market of Eastern Europe, including the post-Soviet states, with Western Europe and the international market, and it was enshrined in a political declaration, the Energy Charter2, signed in The Hague in 1991.

Received: March 11, 2015 Accepted: March 31, 2015 Online Published: May 14, 2015 doi:10.5539/res.v7n7p173 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/res.v7n7p173 Abstract The aim of the article is to identify the impact of Kazakhstan’s integration into the Eurasian Economic Community (EAEC) on the competitiveness of the country’s agriculture. To achieve target aim scientific works of foreign scholars on the problems of integration and its impact on the national economy have been analyzed. The study found that regional integration has positive and negative effects that can lead to further progressive development of the country and its industries, but also exacerbate existing conflicts and crises. To evaluate the adaptability of Agriculture of Kazakhstan to the country’s membership in the EAEC, indicators of industry competitiveness were analyzed: crop yields, livestock productivity, profitability, amount of state support, index of net exports, production of main agricultural products per capita. It was revealed that in agriculture of Kazakhstan competitiveness is lower than in Russia and Belarus in many positions.
