RESUMEN: Hace treinta años la economía mundial, sobre todo en los países desarrollados, sufría, como ocurre ahora, una fuerte crisis económica. De aquella situación surgió un nuevo modelo de regulación de las economías capitalistas al que se llamó neoliberalismo. Desde entonces, con mayor o menor fuerza, ha estado presente en todos los países, aprovechando las condiciones de estos para repetir constantemente los mismos principios: la reducción del Estado, las ventajas del mercado, la autorregulación de éste, etc. Aunque sus premisas parezcan simples o sencillas el neoliberalismo es un proyecto complejo y cambiante, cuya sustentabilidad política y económica se reinventa constantemente y cuya gobernanza y espacialidad es necesario observar y  analizar si se quiere avanzar en alternativas viables. El neoliberalismo no vive apartado de proyectos alternativos sino que se mezcla con las alternativas, tiene una forma de gobernanza que muta, que cambia. Con este artículo pretendemos conocer algo más sobre las semejanzas y diferencias que esta ideología presenta según los países.ABSTRACT: Thirty years ago the world economy, especially the developed countries, suffered, as it is the case now, a severe economic crisis. That situation arose a new regulatory model of capitalist economies is called neo-liberalism. Since then, with more or less force, has been present in all countries, taking advantage of these conditions to constantly repeat the same principles: the reduction of the State, the advantages of the market and self-regulation of this, etc. Although its premises seem simple or simple neo-liberalism is a complex and changing project whose political and economic sustainability constantly reinvents itself and whose governance and spatiality is necessary to observe and analyze whether you want to advance in viable alternatives. Neo-liberalism does not live away from alternative projects but is mixed with the alternatives, has a form of governance that mutates, which changes.

There has been considerable debate over whether the USA is losing its stronghold over the world economy and its power declining, giving way to new leadership from the emerging economies (EEs) like China. This article uses the notion of power based on the resources available to a state. It uses a number of measures to measure the resources available to a state and so assess economic power. It finds that there has been a slight decline in the importance of the developed countries and an increase in that of the developing countries (DCs). However, there is a slight decline in the power of the USA. The increase in the importance of developing countries is mainly on account of China. But the changes do not mean that developing countries can get the changes they desire. There is more of a stalemate.

Science and technology capabilities are fundamental for social and economic progress in African countries and they are crucial components aimed at fostering growth and development of every nation as they create impact on the various sectors of governments. Maintaining and Strengthening the contributions of science and technology become more important for Africa in addressing traditional development issues and successful application of science and technology entails establishing effective institutional framework and linkages so that the various science and technology institutions and the productive sectors work in a system that is focused on achieving developmental goals without undue duplication and completion. Unfortunately, many developing countries especially the poor countries in West Africa do not have human resources, physical and economic infrastructures and access to capital to take full advantage of the science and technology expertise and achievements of the developed countries like the USA, China, and Korea etc. Conclusively, it is imperative for Africa especially West African countries to embrace science and technology as a vital tool for accelerating their socio-economic development as science and technology enhances its international competitiveness and more importantly its position in the world economy.

Introduction: The contemporary world is undergoing demographic transition not only due to a decreased population growth, but also due to change in age-structure. The aging process is most prominent in the developed countries, while it is yet expected to commence in the European developing countries. The aging process is characterized by participation of persons older than 60 or 65 years in the overall population. USA Persons older than 65 make up 13 % of the US population. It is expected that their share will increase to 30% during the next 30 years. Europe European population in the world is systematically declining. By the year 2050, the population aged 65 and over will exhibit an increase of 60%. A nonlinear, ever increasing depopulation is expected to occur in Croatia, while FYR Macedonia has already been classified as a country in an advanced stage of population aging. Serbia During the second half of the 20th century, on average, the Serbian population was younger than the European, but aging was more prominent. Today, Serbia is among ten countries with the oldest population in the world. Vojvodina The worst demographic situation is found in Vojvodina. According to an assessment, its population has been among the world?s oldest for more than 30 years. The latest census shows a shift in the most numerous age group: from 35-39 to 40-45. Conclusion: Population aging is a worldwide reality. Differences among developed, developing and undeveloped countries are diminishing. Our population is among the oldest. Unless the state takes appropriate measures, we are heading towards a demographic catastrophe.

The author describes the contribution to economic theory made by E. Phelps, the 2006 Nobel prize winner in economics. Phelps is one of those scientists, who studied the reasons, why the attempt to use Phillips curve for the purposes of monetary policy in the 1970s failed. He also became one of the founders of the New Keynesian theory of the Phillips curve. This theory helps to better understand the principles of monetary policy in the developed countries as well as in today’s Russia.

Resumen: El número de personas con obesidad ha crecido a nivel mundial desde 105 millones de personas en 1975 hasta 640 en 2016, y esta cifra no para de aumentar. Si las tendencias actuales no cambian, un 20% de la población mundial será obesa para el año 2025. A pesar de que existen regiones en el mundo en las que la pobreza y la hambruna matan a decenas de miles de personas cada día, en los países desarrollados y emergentes el crecimiento económico ha traído consigo más y más comida, pero sobre todo, muchas calorías poco saludables y estilos de vida más sedentarios. Los gobiernos, incapaces de detener esta epidemia sanitaria, tendrán que prepararse para unos costes médicos cada vez mayores. Ante esta situación, es evidente la necesidad de proponer nuevas políticas que permitan frenar el aumento de la obesidad en la población, para así evitar que se produzca una epidemia de severa obesidad. En este artículo resaltaremos aquellas políticas que incluyen tecnologías que permitan asegurar la saludabilidad de los productos alimentarios que se ingieren, que propongan programas mejorados de entrenamiento para la salud, aumenten el nivel de autoeficacia, autorregulación y motivación para cambiar el comportamiento alimentario del usuario.Palabras clave: Obesidad, Prevención, Tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones, Aplicaciones móviles Abstract: The number of people suffering obesity has grown at world level from 105 millions in 1975 until 640 in 2016, and this number is still increasing. If this trend does not change, it is estimated that the 20% of the world population will be obesity by 2025. Although there are several regions in the world where the poverty and the famine is killing to thousands of people every day, in the developed countries the economical growing has derived in more and more food, but above all, in a lot of unhealthy food and more sedentary lifestyles. The Goverments are not able to stop this health epidemic, so they have to be ready to cope with very high medical costs associated to this problem. Due to this situation, it is evident the requirement to propose new policy measures to stop the obesity in the population, and avoid an epidemic of severe and global obesity. In this paper it is described some of the technological measures whose aim is to monitor and ensure the good quality of food, and propose different training programs for the health, increasing their effectiveness through the self-regulation and the encourage of people to change their nutritional behaviour.

In these circumstances,economic cooperation among Muslim countries should be onthe top of their agenda.Muslim countries today constitute about one-third of the membershipof the United Nations.

Wto Agreements

The World Trade Organization (WTO), established on 1 January 1995 as a successor to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), has played an important role in promoting global free trade. The implementation of its agreements, however, has not been smooth and easy. In fact this has been particularly difficult for developing countries, since they are expected to be on a level playing field with the developed countries. After more than a decade of existence, it is worth looking at the WTO’s impact on developing countries, particularly Muslim countries. This paper focuses mainly on the performance of merchandise trade of Muslim countries after they joined the WTO. I first analyze their participation in world merchandise trade and highlight their trade characteristics in general. This is then followed by a short discussion on the implications of WTO agreements on Muslim countries and some recommendations on how to face this challenge.

The single greatest challenge facing managers in the developed countries of the world is to raise the productivity of knowledge and service workers. This challenge, which will dominate the management agenda for the next several decades, will ultimately determine the competitive performance of companies. Even more important, it will determine the very fabric of society and the quality of life of every industrialized nation. … Unless this challenge is met, the developed world will face increasing social tensions, increasing polarization, increasing radicalization, possibly even class war.
