An attempt is made to discern the underlying forces shaping the East-South exchange & to identify the nature of the implicit DofL between the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA) & Third World countries. It is found that the East's middle position between West & South is an important key to explain the pattern of East-South trade. The latter is, to a considerable extent, a replica of East-West trade where the East structurally plays basically the same role as the West does in the East-West context. East-South trade shows a surprisingly rigid pattern over time & currently reflects a more traditional center-periphery type DofL than West-South trade. Analysis indicates that there is little autonomous economic content & rationale behind East-South economic relations. It is suggested that these relations are basically of residuum character & importance for both the East & the South & can be understood in good part only by reference to the disequilibria occurring in relations with other groups of countries & to domestic & regional supply constraints prevailing in CMEA. 4 Tables, 1 Figure, 18 References.

Islamophobia is on the rise and is now a sentiment that has transcended almost every European country. In the aftermath of 9/11 and the subsequent bombings in Madrid and London, anxiety and fear of the "other" has been heightened. This fear has been harnessed by political parties in many European countries, most notably Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and France. These countries all have supported political parties that have formed an anti-Muslim platform. The main claim is that the "Islamic identity" is incompatible with the "European identity". Despite these xenophobic attitudes, the immigration population still inhabits European countries and continues to grow. An intense debate has ensued about the immigration and integration polices within many European countries. Immigration policies in general are being reexamined in the rise of this discourse. My thesis examines the issues and questions surrounding the conflict of foreigners in Europe. Through my research I have found that the issue of Muslim immigrants in Europe is particularly problematic and complex. My paper seeks to outline the immigration and integration policies in Europe and to compare the difference in circumstances in Southern and Northern Europe. I have focused on Spain as a sample country for Southern Europe, and Denmark as a sample country for Northern Europe. While my findings and conclusions are by no means true for all Southern or Northern European countries, there is evidence of general trends for each region. My thesis is framed by this comparison but what it really analyzes is why countries have such a challenge with the successful integration of immigrants. I look towards historical imperial legacies, 20th century migration trends, geographical location, the legal systems, and the construction of national identities.

Stereotypes in sports coverage depict national teams as individual subjects with a firm 'character,' which remains constant over a long period of time. In so doing, it is assumed that the attributed national characters can be 'recognised' in every individual of a nation and, ultimately, all of their (not only footballing) actions. This article about the coverage of the football World Cups and European Championships since 2002 examines such attributions. At first, it is shown that such national stereotypes form a system that is based on distinct positions. On this basis, confusions of the system of national stereotypes relating to football, which, for example, arise out of the fact that a national team temporarily adopts another team's playing style, are examined. However, such confusions are mostly revised during and at the end of international tournaments, with the result that the system of national stereotypes recently can rather be understood as a construction kit of elements which can be combined in various ways frequently without endangering the system.
