Over the past decades the Republic of Armenia has implemented significant reforms to reduce the state footprint in their economy and to improve the performance of the State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) where the Government intends to retain ownership. The Government has taken concrete steps focusing on improving the financial transparency and fiscal viability of SOEs. This report discusses how the Government can further strengthen the SOE financial accountability, transparency and oversight, and SOEs corporate governance in line with good international practices. These measures should be combined with further efforts in reducing the number of SOEs, focusing on those that do not align with the Government strategic priorities and the state ownership policy.
The Affective Agency of Public Space explores the pivotal role that public spaces play in fostering social inclusion and community cohesion within various settings, including Europe and the United States. This scholarly work underscores the critical importance of developing inclusive public zones that enhance urban life and promote integration and interaction among diverse community groups.

Fernando Alves Correia contribuiu, indubitavelmente, para o prestígio da sua Faculdade, enquanto Investigador e Professor de Direito Público, dedicado e generoso, que a serviu como docente durante cerca de 45 anos. A par de uma apuradíssima formação jurídica e cultural, por todos reconhecida, Fernando Alves Correia, em vários cargos relevantes de gestão da Faculdade de Direito, demonstrou continuamente um inexcedível sentido de lealdade pessoal e institucional, bem como uma lúcida capacidade de liderança, moldada pela dimensão humana, quase fraterna, que nele amiúde lampejava. É autor de uma valiosa obra, que, no essencial, versa sobre as áreas do Direito Administrativo, do Direito do Urbanismo e do Direito Constitucional - com especial destaque para a Justiça Constitucional -, a qual teve uma vasta repercussão na legislação, na jurisprudência e na doutrina nacional.

Corporate governance is a complex idea that is often inappropriately simplified as a cookbook of recommended measures to improve financial performance. Meta studies of published research show that the supposed benign effects of these measures - independent directors or highly incentivised executives - are at best context-specific. There is thus a challenge to explain the meaning, purpose, and importance of corporate governance. This volume addresses these issues. The issues discussed centre on relationships within the firm e.g. between labour, managers, and investors, and relationships outside the firm that affect consumers or the environment. The essays in this collection are the considered...
The fall of communism 25 years ago transformed the political and economic landscape in more than two dozen countries across Europe and Asia. In this volume political leaders, scholars, and policymakers assess the lessons learned from the “great rebirth” of capitalism, highlighting the policies that were the most successful in helping countries make the transition to stable and prosperous market economies, as well as those cases of countries reverting to political and economic authoritarianism. The authors of these essays conclude that visionary leadership, and a willingness to take bold and comprehensive steps, achieved the best outcomes, and that privatization of state-owned enterprises and deregulation were essential to success. Recent backsliding, such as the reversal of economic and democratic reforms in Russia and Hungary, has cast a shadow over the legacy of the transition a quarter century ago, however.
