Identifying the seat of arbitration jurisdiction is of great significance to the arbitral procedure. Countries seek to develop their arbitration laws and harmonize the cross-border arbitral regimes in order to modernize the practices and increase foreign direct investments nationally. Foreign parties aim to select an arbitral seat that is efficient and conforms to international arbitration practices. The parties’ choice of seat dictates the arbitral procedure adopted on the dispute and influences the boundaries of the arbitral awards. This paper evaluates Saudi Arabia as an arbitral seat for foreign investors and considers the key factors affecting the parties’ selection. Further, the paper analyses the legal barriers faced by the parties in association with selecting the Kingdom as a seat for arbitration. The purpose of the paper is to outline the challenges and present recommendations to develop the practices of arbitration in Saudi Arabia to increase its level of conformity to international arbitration standards.

The aim and scope of this article is the analysis of two landmark cases of the European Court of Justice, which have helped shape law and rights with regards to Commercial law and more specifically the law and rights on market competition. The article aims to highlight the significance of the two judgements and the implications and importance they hold toward EU candidate countries, through the case of Albanian legal framework on competition. The article will focus on the practical effect of the degree of legislation approximation in Albania, by taking a look into the ranking and international indices score of Albania in the field of market competition. By contrasting and comparing, conclusions will be made regarding the future implications in this legal area in Albania and possible “next steps” in the legal approximation area, by hypothesizing upon which aspect should be approximated next.

The didactics of business German language and intercultural communication are closely intertwined. In the field of teaching business German, it is important not only to focus on language skills but also to incorporate intercultural competence into the curriculum. The teaching of business German should include cultural aspects relevant to German-speaking business environments. This involves exploring topics such as business etiquette, negotiation strategies, cultural values, and communication norms. By integrating cultural content into language instruction, learners gain a deeper understanding of the cultural context in which they will be using the language.
In the process of learning business German, learners should be made aware of the cultural differences that exist between their own culture and the German-speaking business world. This includes recognizing different communication styles, attitudes towards hierarchy, decision-making processes, and business practices. By understanding these differences, learners can develop strategies to navigate intercultural communication effectively.
Main objective of this paper is the correlation of didactics of intercultural communication with business German, not only in the sense of developing linguistic proficiency but also by fostering intercultural communicative competence. This involves developing learners’ ability to understand and interpret cultural cues, adapt their communication style, and effectively interact with German-speaking business partners. Activities such as role-plays, case studies, and simulations can help learners practice intercultural communication skills.

The demographic transition means the transition from a traditional mode of demographic balance with high mortality and fertility, to a different mode of balance (modern) with low mortality and fertility throughout the course of the modernization of demographic processes. The demographic transition is associated with changing the indicators of population reproduction and the demographic balance regime. It is a process that the population of every country goes through. What is the demographic transition model based on historical stages? What are the global population trends? What are the characteristics of the demographic transition in Albania? The methods used in this manuscript are those of analysis, synthesis, comparison, etc. The demographic transition model has a global historical-geographical analysis value as it provides a global population assessment trend. The global population trend is towards the phenomenon of aging through decline or birth control and includes both central and semi-central countries. The analysis of the overpopulation in the territory has in essence the interventions by means of different measures to regulate the demographic regimes in function of the well-being of the population. In Albania, the transition has been accompanied by a large drop in births and high emigration. The time has come for this transition to be treated with priority as it affects the country’s economy and its perspective.
