Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 65(5): 1709–1718. The study examines the impacts of urbanization, energy consumption and real GDP on atmospheric pollution from automobile transport in Azerbaijan in the STIRPAT framework. Since the study uses time series variables the unit root properties of employed variables are tested for non‑stationarity. Stationarity of the data is tested using conventional Augmented Dickey‑Fuller test. The study employs Autoregressive Distributed Lags Bounds Testing (ARDLBT) approach to co‑integration. This method is one of the most preferable approaches among alternatives in the case of small samples.

  • Forced Displacement in the Nagorny Karabakh Conflict: Return and Its Alternatives
    Forced displacement in the Nagorny Karabakh conflict: return and its alternatives August 2011 conciliation resources Place-names in the Nagorny Karabakh conflict are contested. Place-names within Nagorny Karabakh itself have been contested throughout the conflict. Place-names in the adjacent occupied territories have become increasingly contested over time in some, but not all (and not official), Armenian sources. Contributors have used their preferred terms without editorial restrictions. Variant spellings of the same name (e.g., Nagorny Karabakh vs Nagorno-Karabakh, Sumgait vs Sumqayit) have also been used in this publication according to authors’ preferences. Terminology used in the contributors’ biographies reflects their choices, not those of Conciliation Resources or the European Union. For the map at the end of the publication, Conciliation Resources has used the place-names current in 1988; where appropriate, alternative names are given in brackets in the text at first usage. The contents of this publication are the sole responsibility of the authors and can in no way be taken to reflect the views of Conciliation Resources or the European Union.

    Economic Research Centre Strengthening Municipalities in Azerbaijan Concept Paper This paper has been prepared within the framework of Oxfam, GB and ICCO, Netherlands co-funded project “The Role of Local self-governments in Poverty reduction in Azerbaijan” Expert group members working on the concept: Research Team Leader: Rovshan Agayev: Other Team Members: Gubad Ibadoglu Azer Mehtiyev Aydin Aslanov Translated by: Elshad Mikayilov Baku 2007 1 INTRODUCTION Democratic political system, creation of effective public management and eradication of socio-economic recession are the major challenges facing most of the world countries. The analysis of experience across highly developed countries reveals that the road to democratic and economic prosperity is quite clear. The matter has more to deal with the rejection of authoritarian type of management both in political and economic realms, establishment of market oriented relations and liberal economic environment. Liberal political and economic system in the country first and foremost presupposes deeper decentralization along with the autonomous strong municipal institutions from the perspectives of administration and financial capacity. However, a number of transition countries do not have any precise policy or concept for decentralization. They seem to be conservative towards any other external efforts or initiatives with that respect. The situation is even more complicated by a higher level of corruption in public administration and high-rank public officials preponderantly pursuing their own
