The approaches and methods of identification and forecasting of instability and crises in the economy based on the theory of catastrophes are described. The possibility of early forecasting of crises is shown. The crises in the global economy, the economies of Europe, America, Asia, Africa, Australia, Oceania and Russia have been identified. Systemic economic crises in developed countries are predicted. The risks of international economic relations are assessed based on an assessment of the instability of economic growth rates.

Local self-government has been recognized as a distinctive feature of the Swedish political system for many decades, and still is. However, from the 1980s a new era of change and reform has taken place, which to some extent challenges the image of local self-government and local representative democracy. Two basic tensions are explored: that between central control and local self-government, and between coherence and fragmentation in local governance.

Although the book takes this locally oft-repeated claim seriously, it demonstrates that Urabá is more than a case of Hobbesian political disorder. Through this exploration of war, paramilitary organizations, grassroots support and resistance, and drug-related violence, the book argues that Urabá, rather than existing in statelessness, has actually been an intense and persistent site of state-building projects.

This chapter seeks to bring some historiographical coherence to the rather chaotic eighteenth century in Iranian history. It suggests that rather than looking at the period in dynastic terms, as a tale of ‘great men’, or as a mere tribal interlude between the seventeenth-century Safavid and the nineteenth-century Qajar dynasties, it is more productive to view it in its own right and suggest three interpretive models for future research on this transitional period: a ‘supranational’ or regional approach, situating Iran in a broader Eurasian framework; a more narrow purview which perceives the c

After 1953, they enjoyed a heyday of modest material advances and moral certainties, marked by the sense that society respected at least some of their values and would do so forever.
