España, al igual que Grecia, Portugal o Italia, es hoy en día uno de los países europeos con menos previsiones de crecimiento económico y con más tasa de paro de la Unión Europea. Su tejido empresarial, a diferencia de otros países como los nórdicos o centroeuropeos, viene caracterizado por el protagonismo de empresas de muy reducida dimensión con una media de 1-3 empleados. Estas empresas se caracterizan actualmente por el constante cierre de sus negocios y por la destrucción de empleo. Por este motivo, este trabajo pretende conocer cómo la crisis económica ha afectado a las microempresas y que factores han podido ser determinantes en su gestión. En concreto, se ha estudiado el caso español, extrapolable al resto de países mediterráneos, analizando las variables: formación, experiencia, antigüedad e innovación mediante un estudio empírico. ; Spain, as other countries like Greece, Portugal and Italy, is today one of the European countries with less economic growth forecasts and more unemployment of the European Union. Its companies, unlike the Nordic and Central European countries, are characterized by the prominence of small size companies with an average of 1-3 employees. These companies are currently characterized by the continued closure of their business and job losses. For this reason, this work aims to study how the economic crisis has affected micro-enterprises and what factors were decisive in their management. In particular we have studied the Spanish case, extrapolated to other Mediterranean countries, analyzing the variables: training, experience, age firm and innovation through an empirical study.

This article addresses minority politics and rights protection in the Republic of Macedonia, through scrutiny of key developments and events during 2015. The main events relate to the existing political situation in the country, minority party politics and dynamics, and the implementation process of the Ohrid Framework Agreement (OFA). Although it has been more than a decade since the OFA, the Macedonian system is still fragile and subject to further modifications; experts often discuss the need for its 'revision' or 'review'. The major focus of this article is put specifically on the OFA and the discussions on its review.

Bu çalışmada Lübnan'ın Suriye krizine yönelik yaklaşımı incelenecektir. Bu konu analiz edilirken, Lübnan devletinin karmaşık yapısını ve tarihsel tecrübesini ele alarak Suriye krizine yönelik her bir aktörün uygulandığı yaklaşım ve bu yaklaşımı belirleyen arkasındaki sebepler analiz edilecektir.
