The human thought got shaped, edged and highly ‘powerful’. The use of this power set the priorities of the process of globalization and had reinforced the inducement of the policy-makers, nations, and states to modernize the strategies which shape the international’ image within new political, economic, social, technology and cultural order. Choosing the right and most efficient approach for increasing the international visibility and credibility of the countries and the international organizations they represent as its members, has always been and will be one of the main practices of diplomacy. New globalize changes have impacted the mechanisms of the contemporary diplomacy, differing from the traditional diplomacy’ practices. Due to this evaluation, states and multilateral organizations have had increased its focus on developing new public diplomacy’ strategies, too. In this regard, the changing concept of the contemporary world order in 21 century and the need of relevant visibility emerged European Union for a new approach towards “solidifying messages, goals, and a sense of unity”. “In such a discursive approach, which sees international politics as increasingly being a struggle over ideas and values, public diplomacy activities are an important means of political influence alongside traditional diplomacy among governments”. The 21st-century’ strategies towards the world affairs, issues, and challenges increased the necessity of more effective and efficient results on sub-national, national and transnational diplomacy alongside with the ability to cope with the rapid globalize changes. Thus have had attracted the attention of the countries towards the use of soft power, as opposite or in accordance with hard power’ diplomatic practices. This paper aims to offer a perspective on the rising potential of the soft’ power. The comparative analysis’s with the UN as multilateral organization aims to detect the contemporary challenges and future possible perspectives in using the potential of soft power and public diplomacy for wider internal and external modifications and reestablishments. Alongside with the UN, which it's facing it own challenges for inner structural modifications, can EU succeed to modify its structure so it can shape its significant influence and ‘power’ in meeting variety of world challenges such as: areas of humanitarian aid, climate change, multilateralism, human rights, and development, world conflicts etc?! The main hypothesis of this paper is that public diplomacy within all its levels: sub national, national, transnational, and supranational has the capacity to consolidate current and future Members’ states and to unify its diversities in order to strengthen its inner EU capacities and became even more relevant external decision making organization on global scene. .

The adoption of this strategy acknowledged the limitations of the EU Lisbon Treaty in addressing the challenges of knowledge‐ based economies and the lack of political support for delivering economic growth, the supply of jobs, and competiveness and social inclusion. In line with the key goals of the European Union's strategy for growth "Europe 2020," the Western Balkan states confronted their need for national and regional strategies for research and innovation, aiming to increase the impact of research and innovation on economic growth and employment opportunities. However, there are several key challenges which remain to be tackled such as: low business expenditures on R&D, and outdated research infrastructure. With regard to this particular context, this chapter aims to address the ...

Yet, in the case of North Macedonia, there is an ongoing challenge in addressing the problem of politicisation of public administration. On one hand, the ombudsman holds the normative position to safeguard citizens in front of state administration bodies, to act upon the impartiality biases or other deviances of norms, and to annually report to the National Parliament. On the other hand, the parliament should be able to hold executives and institutions accountable for their actions and to act upon the ombudsman’s recommendations. However, there is a limited understanding of the role that these two institutions can play in an effective fight against corruption as part of the democratisation processes. The purpose of the article is to examine the institutional gaps where the opportunities for corruption and social traps are encouraged. Based ...

The development of higher education is seen as a key stimulator of the vital policy-making strategies which aim to affect a growth in employment. Moreover from the perspective of knowledge accumulation, the internationalization of higher education is seen as both an educational and an economic tool which can be used for increasing the functionality of the Macedonian market economy. Comparisons with Croatia and Germany, aim to address the ‘knowledge based’ economic outcomes of the contemporary management approach towards investment in knowledge and education. In conclusion, bridging the gaps between the government, the universities and the business sector as well as the students is seen as a key stimulator of the rationale...

The basis of this report is the Corruption Monitoring System (CMS) developed by the Center for the Study of Democracy (CSD) from Bulgaria. The CMS relies on diverse sources of information and combines quantitative and qualitative methods for monitoring and the assessment of corruption and organized crime. The CMS has gained acknowledgement from the United Nations (UN) as a best practice system for monitoring corruption at the national level. The report is divided into seven chapters and it provides an overview of the legal and institutional framework for the fight against corruption and organized crime in the country, provides an overview of the macroeconomic situation and the emergence of the link between corruption and organized crime, risk assessment of threats and corruption of organized crime, as well as levels of connection between these two phenomena: infiltration (general) in the political arena, infiltration in the government (elected officials), infiltration in public administration and institutions, bribery etc. Through these levels indirect critical review of corruption in politics is offered, but also to other areas and levels of government such as the judiciary; administration, police and customs. The last section deals with the private sector and corruption with a general review and review of public procurement, money laundering and VAT fraud.

On one hand, the ombudsman holds the normative position to safeguard citizens in front of state administration bodies, to act upon the impartiality biases or other deviances of norms, and to annually report to the National Parliament. On the other hand, the parliament should be able to hold executives and institutions accountable for their actions and to act upon the ombudsman's recommendations. However, there is a limited understanding of the role that these two institutions can play in an effective fight against corruption as part of the democratisation processes. The purpose of the article is to examine the institutional gaps where the opportunities for corruption and social traps are encouraged. Based on theoretical, empirical as well as comparative observations, within single case method analysis, this article aims to examine the compliance of the theoretical fingerprints with the actual practice and provide a different angle on the institutional opportunities for social traps, in the context of unconsolidated democracies. The findings show that there is a causality between the institutional 'silent guardian' of the citizens and the prevalence of corruption. It also encourages further discussion on the factors that undermine the positions of the ombudsman and the parliament to take active engagement in rooting out the corruption from societies.

In addition, their influence undermines the rule of law and holds back efforts to democratize the societies especially in post-transitional countries. The fight against these two negative trends implies a systematic approach of all relevant stakeholders. For this purpose, strengthening the capacity of civil society organizations is essential in monitoring the corruption, the link with the organized crime and strengthening the awareness of the citizens about the negative impact on their daily lives.
This policy brief outline the risks of corruption and organized crime in the Business sector. The analyses is based on conducted Business Survey on 400 companies in Macedonia, during the period of 2015. Data suggests corruption risks in forms of: Money laundering, Extortion, VAT fraud. As result, the paper offers policy recommendations on instruments for strengthening the corporate integrity in combinations with incentives for good behavior and in reliance with UNODC convention.

This policy brief analyzes the challenges of the Media and CSOs in monitoring the negative trends of corruption and organized crime and provides policy recommendations for improving their role as the key “watchdogs” in the society.

The development of higher education is seen as a key stimulator of the vital policy-making strategies which aim to affect growth in employment. Moreover from the perspective of knowledge accumulation, the internationalization of higher education is seen as both an educational and an economic tool which can be used for increasing the functionality of the Macedonian market economy. Comparisons aim to address the ‘knowledge-based’ economic outcomes of the contemporary management approach towards investment in knowledge and education. In conclusion, bridging the gaps between the government, the universities and the business sector, as well as the students, are seen as a key stimulator of the rationale behind investments in education and human capital. Hence, the suggested shift in management practices focuses on the ‘bottom-up’ management approach, in interaction with ‘top-down’ management, as a recommended tool for reaching better ‘knowledge economy’ outcomes.
