Die GCC-Staaten zeichnen sich durch ein weltweit einmaliges Muster internationaler Arbeitsmigration aus. Die Zuwanderung ausländischer Arbeitskräfte setzte bereits in den späten 1940er Jahren ein, nahm aber nach dem Ölboom im Oktober 1973 eine neue Dimension an: Ausländer/-innen stellen seither nicht nur eine Mehrheit in der Erwerbsbevölkerung der GCC-Staaten (mit Ausnahme von Oman). In Katar, den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten und Kuwait übersteigt ihre Zahl auch diejenige der einheimischen Bevölkerung insgesamt. Zwar bemühen sich die Regierungen der GCC-Staaten darum, die ausländischen Arbeitskräfte nach und nach durch einheimische Arbeitskräfte zu ersetzen. Diese Strategie schlägt aber bislang vor allem in der Privatwirtschaft fehl.

Summary: The paper uses the example of the Far East to consider the little-studied topic of participation of the Russian nature reserve in the implementation of international programs for environmental protection by the state. For the first time in historiography, special attention is paid to the activities of the Far Eastern reserve "Bolonsky" to preserve the world's biological resources. The objective of this study is to identify the place and role of the Far Eastern reserve in building a dialogue with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region (APR) on the conservation of unique species of wildlife. The presented topic is considered based on the analysis of previously unpublished sources, which determines its scientific novelty. The authors conclude that Russia's close cooperation with other countries in developing and implementing joint agreements contributes not only to solving environmental problems, but also to establishing a constructive dialogue within the Asia-Pacific region as a whole.

While governance and lobbying practices by public universities have both been considered as factors in the ways that American states fund their public higher education systems, there has as yet been no research on how boards of governance influence the lobbying behaviors among public universities under their purview. This study uses comparative case study methodology to frame the policy-shaping behaviors of the higher education systems of two American states, one with a consolidated governance board and one without any such agency. Through interviews with 2 in-house lobbyists in each state, this study shows that a board of governance limits the autonomy of institutions and encourages cooperative lobbying strategies. In the state without a governance body, institutions are less likely to collaborate, especially because the lack of a central governance board has allowed for institutions to become highly individualized in terms of campus policies. Population ecology theory provides a useful model for conceptualizing these relationships: the board provides partitions that maintain stable environmental niches for public universities. Without such a board, public universities are free to adapt to new situations, which causes competition as institutions attempt move into occupied niches.

If the United States does not collaborate more with Africa on space-related activities, it risks missing out on a growing market and hindering global scientific and technological advancements.

Cooperation on hydro-political matters in Central Asia requires not only framework agreements but also its own ideology, taking into account the interests of all countries in the region, including Russia, which forms the image of a shared "hydraulic future." This is necessary because the countries in the region are united by a shared hydraulic destiny, including the problems of the Aral Sea, the uncertain prospects of the Afghan Qosh-Tepa Canal, and annual meetings on freshwater limits.

A number of factors hinder regional cooperation in Central Asia. They include multidirectional foreign policy priorities of the countries of the region and unresolved acute regional problems (territorial borders, water and energy, environmental, transport and communication, agricultural and food). The ruling elites of the countries of the region may fail to resist the temptation to channel population's dissatisfaction with the difficult socio-economic situation into the mainstream of interethnic and interstate conflicts. Therefore, there can be no question of Central Asian integration.

This is a book about people. 'Fragile States' in an Unequal World: The Role of the g7+ in International Diplomacy and Development Cooperation introduces the members of the g7+, a group formed by 20 conflict-affected states: why they came to believe in politics and policy; how they feel about their work, their family and their communities; and what they want to leave behind for the next generations. It is the story of their personal and collective values, their mistakes, and the challenges they faced, and it will resonate with anyone who has tried to organize and work with a group of very different people.

This book is also a contribution for those seeking to influence international policy, especially from a disadvantageous position. It explores how to find your voice, use your survival skills, work with passion, decide how much to concede and act responsibly. Together, these lessons illuminate the paths that individual members have walked as they found their own voices, as well as how the g7+ fights to speak collectively. The book ends with a glimpse of the way forward, as Isabel Rocha de Siqueira encourages younger generations to engage with politics and policy generously, with hope for the future.

Combining literature and hard facts – along with other elements such as illustrations, cartoon strips and photographs to tell the previously untold stories of public servants in poor, conflict-affected countries, the book offers an original (and very human) micro and macro perspective on the politics of development. It will be of interest to professionals in major development organisations, students and professors in development courses, policymakers, public servants, civil society, activists working for major international NGOs, and journalists who report on the development industry, as well as those with a general interest in international development cooperation, international diplomacy and other related fields.
