“…Poor economic conditions and poverty are precisely the causes of majority of conflicts (Lee 2011). Therefore, economic reconstruction of the country or the region should be the priority once the conflict ends (Lemmon 2012 andMcCauley 2013). It was found that that creating a peace and prosperity in areas of conflict zones includes business which generate economic and social value, which directly contribute to building of community and overall recovery (Kolk and Lenfant, 2016).…”

On the sample of 84 Serbian companies which operate on Kosovo territory (Serbian enclaves) in post-conflict situation we want to find out which factors are crucial for their survival and success. Also we want to find out is EU regulatory document for small enterprises helpful for them in this situation. We did not find EU document helpful in this situation. The results have confirmed that the enterprises are aware that expanding the market range is the only real and sustainable method of developing their activities. The key limiting factor in expanding the market range is the unfair competition. Furthermore, we are particularly pleased with the fact that enterprises from the northern part of Kosovo and Metohia are aware of the importance of innovative activities, and they realized that in contemporary business world it is possible to survive and grow in the market only by developing and introducing innovations. There are no universal solutions in a post-conflict situations. Search for ideal solution for developing the entrepreneur activities and it depends on the combination of social/political, institutional, cultural and economic aspects.

“…The northern regions were neglected during the economic boom and the promised development never materialized during the economic downturn in the 1980s. In Ghana the plan was to subdue subnational tensions and in turn avoid conflict and increase human security by growing the economy nationally rather than regionally (McCauley, 2012).…”

The concept of hegemony has been a mainstay in academic discourse since Greek writers coined the term during the conflicts between city states in ancient times. However, it was not until Antonio Gramsci produced his unfinished, seminal work, the Prison Notebooks, that the concept became a topic of intense discussion in the political sphere. Hegemony has been applied to the international global system relatively unchanged from Gramsci's social application of the concept. Whilst the underlying principles of Gramsci's conception can be applied in international relations without issue, some aspects are not so forthcoming. It is the intention of this paper to attempt to fill the void in international relations theory and provide a succinct and robust re-conception of Hegemony, how to attain it and maintain it. There will be no reinvention of the wheel; Hegemony will still mean dominance over all. Only now there will be a specific conception that can be applied to the current globalized liberal system. The Four Waves of Hegemony are presented here as an alternative to the current conception. Whilst there are inherent limitations mainly being the scope and size of the work presented, these are addressed and signposted for further research.

“…On one hand national economic development plans tend to be based on short to medium term goals. They are developed by a particular political party government in power based on what they consider to be key priorities (McCauley, 2013;Arku, 2006). On the other hand, tourism development plans tend to be long term policy documents that more often than not outlive the duration of any one political party government (Hall, 2008).…”

Tourism and national economic development planning in Ghana, 1964–2014

Tourism continues to be a significant source of economic activity for many developing countries. The challenge for such countries has been how best to effectively plan for tourism development within overall national economic development planning and policies. This paper takes a historical approach in examining the conception of tourism development in Ghana within successive national economic development plans. Since independence in 1957, tourism has been identified as an opportunity for economic growth. In the early days of national development planning, tourism was seen mainly in terms of its foreign exchange earning potential. Within the current medium term national economic development plan (Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda 2014-2017), tourism is now positioned as one of seven key economic pillars for transforming the economy. This paper argues that the shift in thought about tourism's economic role within a country can be traced through the historical eyes of successive national economic development plans.
