Vilka korruptionssyndrom påverkas Kosovo av? : En fallstudie om korruptionen i Kosovo / Which corruption syndromes does Kosovo get affected by? : A case study on corruption in Kosovo

Shehu, Benjamin January 2018 (has links)
Corruption is a global phenomenon were countries get involved socially, politically and economically.1 Corrupted actions in one country don’t need to be seen as corruption in another country, the law on what is considered corruption differs. The empirical analysis which I used is a qualitative theory-consuming research design with Kosovo as case in center. The essay’s research question is Which corruption syndromes does Kosovo get affected by? The essay explains in which way corruption affects Kosovo by Johnston corruption syndrome. Johnston uses influence markets, elite cartels, oligarchs and clans and official moguls as different corruption syndromes, to explain diverse corruption. Influence markets handle uses of wealth to search influence within political and administrative institutions. Elite cartels consist of politicians, bureaucrats, military and ethnic leaders who distribute the benefits of corruption among themselves. Oligarchs and clans handle organized crime, officials and corrupted politicians who use political power and violence to get their will through. Political figures within official moguls “set the frame” for which direction societies shall strive. Kosovo, I find is undergoing official moguls-syndrome corruption because of its occurrences which show that those who are involved in corruption cases have connections to senior politicians.

Solar Water Heating in Dragash Municipality, Kosovo

Dahl Håkans, Mia January 2010 (has links)
<p>Water has been heated with the sun has almost as long as there have been humans, but itis not until recently that more advanced and effective solar water heating systems havebecome common, and they are still gaining ground. Through the years new systems andnew solar collectors have been developed. In Kosovo, however, not much attention hasbeen paid to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources and solar water heatingsystems is a new concept.The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Kosovo is working on a projecton sustainable development in Dragash Municipality in southern Kosovo. A solar waterheating system has recently been installed at the hospital in Dragash, as part of the UNDPproject. The system is a pilot project, to see how well solar energy can be used in thisarea.The existing solar water heating system at the hospital in Dragash was examined andevaluated. The possibilities of using the fundamental principle of the solar water heatingsystem at the hospital on residential houses in Dragash were looked into. Six prototypesof average residential houses in the village of Brod and Dragash Town were created. Thesolar collector size and storage needed to meet the demands for the six house prototypeswere calculated. Information on the incoming solar irradiation for each hour of a year wasobtained from the online service SoDa Solar Radiation Data. The total annual incomingsolar radiation for one square meter was calculated.The environmental, social and economic effects of solar water heating in Dragash wereconsidered and discussed. Rough economic calculations were made on the effects ofinstallation of solar water heating systems.The solar water heating system at the hospital in Dragash is a good pilot project, and islikely to work satisfyingly. The annual output effect of the system is approximately 7 400kWh. The fundamental principle needs to be altered to work on residential houses. Thesolar collector needs to be of a cheaper kind, and the collector and storage tank can be ofsmaller dimensions.Solar water heating can contribute to Kosovo’s work toward sustainable environmental,social and economic development focusing on hot water supply. Kosovo has sufficientsolar radiation for solar water heating systems to work in a satisfactory way. The outputeffect for a solar water heating system in Dragash is around 390 kWh/(m2∙year) with atotal efficiency for the system of 30%. If the solar water heating system replaces heatingby electricity the annual savings can be 31 €/m2 solar collector. The biggest obstacles forthe use of solar energy are the public’s lack of knowledge on solar water heating andenvironmental problems connected to energy, as well as economy.The work done in this thesis is a good foundation for future research on solar energy inKosovo. It can be extended and elaborated with more thorough economic calculations,since economy is an important factor in the future for solar energy. Only roughcalculations were made in this thesis, since it has a technical approach. More extensiveresearch could also be done to evaluate the possibilities of using solar water heating forspace heating.</p> / <p>Varmvatten har värmts med hjälp av solen nästan så länge det funnits människor, men detär inte förrän nyligen som mer avancerade och effektivare solvärmesystem har blivitvanliga, och de blir allt vanligare.

Universal Human Rights Value and the Humanitarian Intervention¡XPerceiving from the Kosovo event

Hsu, Nung 16 August 2007 (has links)
The development of human civilization has not caused the world to be stable under the anarchy, and there are still many states jeopardize humanity safety seriously. If the states still just go there own way, it will certainly cause the risks in human¡¦s development and the damage to the human¡¦s survival right. Since peace will not arrive naturally, we should seek the construction of norms which will keep the human historical development on the track. In March 1999, the humanitarian intervention event in Kosovo has shown the universal human rights value, and challenged the existent paradigm of world order. Humanitarian intervention showed that states without supreme authority can do things along with justice principle and the moral reason, more than just chasing the interest and power. It also emphasized the universal identity of sovereign states under the human rights totem, as well as promoted the will and the right of individuals. It was a significant progress when humanitarian intervention accentuate universal human rights value and put it into effect, nevertheless, it is still challenged and criticized in the real world. The conflicts of interest among sovereign states must be reconciled gradually. Besides, whether the individuals or the political communities (sovereign states) should be the subject of rights and obligations in the world, as well as how should we define the hegemony are still the controversial issues. This article will takes the dialogs among parties that hold different opinions to humanitarian intervention, and try to reach the mutual recognition. It will also point out the differences of human being will be assimilated eventually in consideration of the globalization tendency. Global community which take root on the universal human rights value will be the foundation of norms which lead the world to ideal.

Kosovo - a ''Humanitarian Intervention'' : A case study about Kosovo and Nato's intervention on 24 March, 1999

Zilkiq, Adelina January 2012 (has links)
This essay is a type of case study, it examines if intervention in Kosovo were in accordance with humanitarian intervention criteria. This study gives an understanding that intervention may sometime worsen condition for the people it wants to rescue, and that inability to address humanitarian intervention prevails in diffuse victory. The purpose of this essay is to examine the Kosovo conflict and the approach of humanitarian intervention in 24 March, 1999.  The approach made by NATO was seen as a new international phenomenon that sought to protect values of human rights. The results of this study pose doubt to this notion; it reflects that the intervention rested not only on humanitarian grounds. The most important aspect of humanitarian intervention is promoting security for the people it wants to rescue. The results shows that NATO’s intervention in short term failed to provide security; it is shown that the air campaign had little impact at the beginning prevailing only after much damage and suffering has been done. The result also shows that failure to adopt the issue of Kosovo more adequately at an earlier stage on the international agenda resulted in the ''welfare'' of NATO's intervention. Despite the consequences of NATO’s action, situation prevailed for the better outcome for the Kosovar-Albanian people than what might have been has intervention been absent. FRY: s deliberative plan of expelling the Kosovo-Albanian to the last one would have been finalized if intervention would have been absent.

La Russie et la guerre du Kosovo

Zakharian, Larissa January 2007 (has links) (PDF)
La guerre du Kosovo (une petite region située en Yougoslavie et qui revendiquait son indépendance de Belgrade) en mars de 1999, a apporté une contribution centrale dans la conception de la politique étrangère russe entre l'époque du Président Boris Eltsine (qui fut une phase « révolutionnaire » et « ultra-occidentaliste ») et celle marquée par l'arrivée au pouvoir du Président Vladimir Poutine (« étatiste », ou « rationaliste») en changeant radicalement ses objectifs et ses déterminants. Pourquoi cet événement prend-il une telle importance pour la politique étrangère russe? Le but principal du mémoire est de donner une réponse à cette question. Pour étayer la thèse nous avons entrepris les démarches suivantes: 1. Reconstituer la base conceptuelle et symbolique de la politique étrangère russe dans son contexte historique, en portant une attention particulière sur le courant occidentaliste, ses orientations politico-idéologiques, qui aura une influence sur le pouvoir en Russie sous Boris Eltsine (1991-1999); 2. Envisager l'échec de la politique étrangère des occidentalistes russes sous l'angle de l'élargissement de l'Alliance atlantique, l'un des facteurs décisifs de la guerre du Kosovo; 2. Montrer l'impact de la guerre du Kosovo sur les débats et la politique étrangère de la Russie. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Russie, B.

Im Schwerpunkt begeben wir uns in Schlupfwinkel der organisierten Kriminalität, die längst nicht nur Sache der berüchtigten italienischen Mafia ist. Transnationale Kriminalität ist ein den Globus umspannendes Phänomen - ein Phänomen mit diversen Ursprüngen, geografisch wie motivisch. Wir spüren ihren Linien im 21. Jahrhundert nach und diskutieren Strategien ihrer Bekämpfung.
