Such growth has been uniquely achieved without greater reliance to law, which the neoliberal approach considers integral to development. Among others, this approach relies on private laws for the protection of property and contractual rights for the efficient and smooth functioning of the market where the state has little or no intervention. In this regard, the paper discusses the role of law in development and economic growth. It is submitted that the instrumental use of law and active state intervention in the Asian examples considered in this paper raises significant doubts on the necessity of law for economic growth. 2018-07-02T00:00:00Z http://dspace.epoka.edu.al/handle/1/1825 Active position of the country in the world market of agrarian products as an indicator of the underdevelopment level of its economy Fedosieieva, Hanna The article examines the role of countries in the development of the world market of agrarian products. At the same time, the world production and exports of agrarian products are considered not only in terms of countries, but also in terms of the most consumed species. The main tendencies of international trade of agrarian products are described. At the same time, we discuss only those agrarian products which are raw materials or have undergone the primary processing. The author of the research wants to confirm or refute the existing opinion that the active position of the country in the world agrarian market is a kind of evidence of the underdevelopment level of its economy. 2018-07-02T00:00:00Z http://dspace.epoka.edu.al/handle/1/1824 The Growing Problem of Obesity in the UAE Rajan, Panthayil Babu Obesity is an epidemic in the UAE. The obesity level in the UAE is one among the highest in the world. It is one of the leading health concerns in the country affecting people of all ages. The fat-rich fast-food, sedentary lifestyles, and harsh climatic conditions are the important causes of obesity that creates severe negative impacts on health and wellbeing of people. However, it is a controllable problem. If people cultivate healthy lifestyles and say no to fat-rich fast-stood and calorie-rich soft drinks, they can prevent becoming obese to a great extent. Collective efforts by governmental organizations, voluntary organizations, service agencies, media and educational institutions appear to be imperative to offset the growing problem of obesity in country and cultivating healthy lifestyles among people. 2018-07-02T00:00:00Z http://dspace.epoka.edu.al/handle/1/1823 BREXIT: New challenges for the World Trade Ramírez Poggi, Olga Elena; Veraldi, Roberto; Medicina Leuzzi, María Belén; Delgado Mondragón, Mayra Alejandra On June 23, 2016, Britain marked the exit from the European Union.
