  • Portugal's Economy Contracted Sharply in 2020 As the Spread of The
    2.16. PORTUGAL Portugal’s economy contracted sharply in 2020 as the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic took a heavy toll on all aspects of social and business activities, with a particularly strong impact on the country’s large hospitality sector. Portugal’s GDP is estimated to have fallen by 7.6% in 2020. Quarterly rates closely followed the evolution of the pandemic and the consequent introduction of restrictions. After a cumulative drop of around 17% in the first half of 2020, GDP rebounded by 13.3% in 2020-Q3. However, the resurgence of infections brought new restrictions towards the end of the year and GDP growth weakened to 0.4% in the last quarter. With the introduction of a more stringent lockdown in mid-January 2021, GDP is projected to fall again in the first quarter of 2021, before starting to recover as of the second quarter of the year, with a major rebound in the summer months. This entails expectations for a notable rebound in tourism in the summer, particularly in intra- EU travel, and a more gradual recovery thereafter. However, the tourism sector is projected to remain somewhat below its pre-crisis level until the end of the forecast period. In full-year terms, GDP is projected to grow by 4.1% in 2021 and 4.3% in 2022. A full return to pre-pandemic levels is expected towards the end of 2022 but risks remain significant due to the country’s large dependence on foreign tourism, which continues to face uncertainties related to the evolution of the pandemic.

  • The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth As a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity*
    Chapter 8 The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as a Political Space: Its Unity and Complexity* Satoshi Koyama Introduction The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita) was one of the largest states in early modern Europe. In the second half of the sixteenth century, after the union of Lublin (1569), the Polish-Lithuanian state covered an area of 815,000 square kilometres. It attained its greatest extent (990,000 square kilometres) in the first half of the seventeenth century. On the European continent there were only two larger countries than Poland-Lithuania: the Grand Duchy of Moscow (c.5,400,000 square kilometres) and the European territories of the Ottoman Empire (840,000 square kilometres). Therefore the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the largest country in Latin-Christian Europe in the early modern period (Wyczański 1973: 17–8). In this paper I discuss the internal diversity of the Commonwealth in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and consider how such a huge territorial complex was politically organised and integrated. * This paper is a part of the results of the research which is grant-aided by the ‘Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research’ program of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 2005–2007. - 137 - SATOSHI KOYAMA 1. The Internal Diversity of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Poland-Lithuania before the union of Lublin was a typical example of a composite monarchy in early modern Europe. ‘Composite state’ is the term used by H. G. Koenigsberger, who argued that most states in early modern Europe had been ‘composite states, including more than one country under the sovereignty of one ruler’ (Koenigsberger, 1978: 202).

  • The Formation of Nato and Turkish Bids for Membership
    AKADEMİK YAKLAŞIMLAR DERGİSİ JOURNAL OF ACADEMIC APPROACHES KIŞ 2010 CİLT:1 SAYI:1 WINTER 2010 VOLUME:1 ISSUE:1 FROM NEUTRALITY TO ALIGNMENT: THE FORMATION OF NATO AND TURKISH BIDS FOR MEMBERSHIP Abdulkadir BAHARÇİÇEK* Abstract The formation of NATO was a responce by the United States to the security questions of the Western Europe and North Atlantic region. Turkey also faced with a serious threat from the Soviet Union. Turkey‟s attempts of entering NATO shaped Turkish security polices as well as her relations with the rest of the world. Turkish membership to NATO can be regarded a solution to her security problems, but it may well be argued that the main cause behind that policy was the continuation of the polices of westernization and modernization. The obvious short term factor behind Turkish desire was the Soviet threat. But at the same time the ideolojical aspirations in becoming an integral part- at least in term of military alliance- of Western world without any doubt played a decisive role in Turkey‟s decision. Özet İkinci Dünya Savaşı‟ndan sonra Avrupa‟da ortaya çıkan yeni güvenlik sorunları ve özellikle Batı Avrupa‟ya da yönelen Sovyet tehdidine karşı ABD‟nin öncülüğünde NATO ittifakı kuruldu. Aynı dönemde Türkiye‟de kendisini Sovyet tehdidi altında görüyordu. Türkiye‟nin NATO‟ya girme çabaları Türkiye‟nin güvenlik politikalarını ve Batı ile olan ilişkilerini de şekillendirdi. NATO üyeliği, Türkiye açısından, güvenlik sorunlarına bir çözüm olarak görülebilir, fakat bu üye olma arzusunun arkasında modernleşme ve batılılaşma ideolojisinin bulunduğunu söylemek de yanlış olmayacaktır. Kısa dönemde Sovyet tehdidine karşı koymanın hesapları yapılırken, uzun vadede Batı sisteminin ayrılmaz bir parçası olma arzusunun Türk karar alıcılarının temel düşüncesi olduğu söylenebilir.

C.M.A. MCCAULIFF* The Bill of Rights provides broadly conceived guarantees which invite specific judicial interpretation to clarify the purpose, scope and meaning of particular constitutional safeguards. Two time- honored but apparently divergent approaches to the jurisprudence of constitutional interpretation have been employed in recent first amendment cases: first, history has received prominent attention from former Chief Justice Burger in open-trial, family and reli- gion cases; second, natural law has been invoked by Justice Bren- nan in the course of responding to the Chief Justice's historical interpretation. History, although indirectly stating constitutional values, provides the closest expression of the Chief Justice's own jurisprudence and political philosophy.

It came into force on 29 July 1957, upon the fulfilment of the relevant provisions of paragraph E of Article XXI. The Statute has been amended three times, by application of the procedure laid down in paragraphs A and C of Article XVIII. On 3 I January 1963 some amendments to the first sentence of the then paragraph A.3 of Article VI came into force; the Statute as thus amended was further amended on 1 June 1973 by the coming into force of a number of amendments to paragraphs A to D of the same Article (involving a renumbering of sub-paragraphs in paragraph A); and on 28 December 1989 an amendment in the introductory part of paragraph A. I came into force. All these amendments have been incorporated in the text of the Statute reproduced in this booklet, which consequently supersedes all earlier editions.
