Tax on digital economy activities has become a widely discussed issue in the world because of the limitation on the permanent establishment concept in anticipating the digital economy's externalities. The failure of OECD countries to reach digital economic taxation agreements also caused these countries to take unilateral measures in securing their respective interests. Indonesia, as a country with considerable digital economy value in the Southeast Asia region, plans to implement the significant economic presence concept to secure its tax revenue that cannot be captured by PE concept in the digital cross-border transaction. However, the implementation of this new nexus could generate new challenges in the Indonesia taxation system. This study seeks to provide alternatives to the Indonesian government regarding the taxable presence and taxation methods on the digital economy, especially digital advertising, by conducting examination and evaluation through current nexuses, the international proposals, and other countries' experience in addressing tax challenges in the digital advertising.

Advancements in the global digital economy have resulted in high levels of profitability for enterprises operating within it. The digital economy is particularly challenging for tax authorities the world over, as it is characterised by an unparalleled reliance on intangible assets and a difficulty in determining the jurisdiction in which value creation occurs. It is against this backdrop that Kenya enacted the Finance Act 2019, that had amongst its objectives, the effective taxation on the consumption of cross-border digital supplies. The amendments are largely targeted at the taxation of imported digital supplies from foreign jurisdictions to final consumers in Kenya. They place the responsibility of tax assessment and remittance to the consumer of the service. This move presents a critical departure from the previous regime where the responsibility of Value Added Tax (VAT) assessment and remittance fell on the firms supplying the service squarely. This paper critically assesses the practical efficacy and inherent weaknesses arising from the potential implementation of the proposed amendments under the VAT Act and provides recommendations on the way forward.

The paper discusses the specific features of e-business in the world market, as well as identifies its current state and the key development trends. A special emphasis is put that e-commerce as a critical element of a "new economy" is gaining increasingly more practical implications. It is argued that further effective development of world commerce triggers a need to evaluate the main trends and prospects of the e-commerce market which makes the basis of information business. The world economy demonstrates rapid development towards building global economic space to give rise to a new type of economy. In this context, the need to provide more insights into the role and significance of Ukraine in this environment seems relevant and timely. The global economic space enhances the elimination of barriers to the movement of goods, services and capital, speeding up payment transactions, as well as contributes to harmonization of market regulation. The authors suggest avoiding hasty conclusions as to the readiness of the Ukrainian economy to the total integration into the free market system without verified findings from rigorous research. The study provides evidence that digital globalization of economic processes is becoming a fundamental trend and a driver of the overall modern economy development which has been underpinned by a number of revolutionary technological advances along with the general patterns of economic evolution that guides modern management to be sensitive to the rules of doing business, encourages labour productivity and product quality increase, helps to smooth the recession phases of the economic cycle, etc. The study findings demonstrate that a major effect of digital globalization is international economic integration which spurs non-traditional cross-border flows of goods, rapid loan and investment growth, fosters global exchange of information, ideas and technologies, thus contributing to a transformation of national economies into single global economy. However, it is argued that excessive national protectionism can hamper the development of the global digital economy. Moreover, the desire to store all data solely on the national servers and unjustified protection of confidential information will create extra barriers to cross-border trade and inhibit globalization of the world digital economy.

Threats from the cross-border terrorism and separatism nexus between narcotic mafias and terrorist and insurgent groups, religious and political extremism, and aggressive nationalism pose new challenges to the viability of large multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multicultural and multi-religious states of the South Asia Region (SAR) and there is an urgent need to combat these challenges through democracy, secularism, tolerance, regional co-operation and rule of law. The largest drug producing areas of the world Golden Crescent and Golden Triangle lie within the geographic proximity of the SAR. These geographical links are exacerbated by the connection between narcotics and arms, with the sea routes of the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal providing ideal conduits for supply of both arms and narcotics. This resulted in the lethal cocktail of narco-terrorism and such a nexus can encourage ‘maritime terrorism’, in the coastal and island states of the SAR.

China's socioeconomic accumulation in the last 30 years has been probably one of the most outstanding global developments and has resulted in massive new challenges for core and periphery countries. The article examines how China's rapid and massive integration to the world market has posed new challenges for countries such as Mexico - and most of Latin America - as a result of China's successful exportoriented industrialization. China's accumulation and global integration process does, however, not only question and challenges the export-possibilities in the periphery, but also the global inability to provide energy in the medium term.

For nearly three decades, English has been the lingua franca of cross-border business, yet studies on global language strategies have been scarce. Providing a rare behind-the-scenes look at the high-tech giant Rakuten in the five years following its English mandate, this book explores how language shapes the ways in which employees in global organizations communicate and negotiate linguistic and cultural differences. Drawing on 650 interviews conducted across Rakuten's locations around the world, the book argues that an organization's lingua franca is the catalyst by which all employees become some kind of “expat”—detached from their native tongue or culture. Demonstrating that language can serve as the conduit for an unfamiliar culture, often in unexpected ways, the book uncovers how all organizations might integrate language effectively to tap into the promise of globalization.
