The political and economic opening up of India, China, Turkey and the eastern European states have led to a change in competition on the world's markets. These countries are already considered attractive procurement markets, especially by European companies.
However, global sourcing can mean hidden costs for those who are unaware of the international markets and their modes of operation.
In this book, Gerd Kerkhoff proves that companies can still be successful in their global sourcing - despite the risks involved. He shows which goods and services are suited to global sourcing and introduces the key procurement markets and their strengths. Concrete examples illustrate how international buying can be successfully planned.

International Law, Rights and Politics deals with the interplay of law and politics in the changing international system. Recent political upheavals in Eastern Europe have led to a proliferation of new states on the world scene. This has in many instances caused international concern about rising nationalism and these countries' relations to one another.

Rein Mullerson examines such issues as non-use of force, non-interference in internal affairs, self determination of peoples, protection of minorities and the role of nationalism in inter-ethnic conflicts, and human rights in post-totalitarian societies. Mullerson sets the discussion in the context of events in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. He also analyzes controversial issues of continuity and the succession and recognition of states. The book shows how these developments influence the international system as a whole and how international law has to change in order to respond to new challenges.

Since the collapse of communism in 1989 eastern Europe has experienced a fundamental transformation in its economic, political and social institutions. Observers of the region have often viewed the media as little more than instruments of propaganda in the hands of the party-states which can now be easily remade into independent sources of communication. However, the function and effects of the media within communist and post-communist eastern Europe have been more diverse than such generalizations would lead us to believe.

This study, an investigation of the media in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria by American and East European scholars, seeks to outline both the general legacies of communism that confront media reform in eastern Europe, as well as point to how the specific interaction between the media, state, society and market has led to the development of particular and unique dynamics in each case.
