ISCIP - Perspective Since then, the largest Russian regions, (Sverdlovsk oblast', which is economically more powerful than the republic of Tatarstan, Leningrad Oblast', (2) Maritime and Krasnodar krais, the five regions of Siberia,(3) and Kaliningrad oblast') have embarked on a permanent struggle for economic equity with the republics. The difference in status between these oblasts and the republics was narrowed, and it was clear that the government had provided the basis for favoritism in its federal policy.

FAL BULLETIN Issue No. 203, July 2003 - THE ECONOMIC COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH LANDLOCKED STATUS That is, although it is the seat of government of a landlocked country, in terms of transport costs of imports, La Paz is in a more advantageous situation than certain parts of Mato Grosso or other states, departments or provinces that are far from the sea although they belong to countries with a maritime coast. Moreover, the landlocked countries, partly because of their lack of a maritime coast, tend to have less dynamic economies than their neighbours and greater difficulties in obtaining financial resources for investment in infrastructure works.

Croatian Studies This is the view of Davorin Rudolf, who served as minister of maritime affairs in the Republic of Croatia from 1990 to 1992 and as Croatian foreign minister for a few months in mid-1991. This is why, in spring 1990, the army was ordered to seize the arms of the territorial defense forces in those three republics and remove them to secure sites. Jovic's memoirs are cited or mentioned by several of these authors; indeed, the memoirs by Mamula and Rudolf have a rather hybrid character, mixing the memoir genre with aspects of scholarly research—the inclusion of an extensive bibliography in Rudolf's volume is merely the most obvious reflection of this character. www.croatianstudies.org /index.php?action=page&id=71   (438 words)
