Sexual harassment is a form of gender-based violence as well as a complex social issue that every society faces today. The United Nations and other international and regional organizations have recognized sexual harassment as a form of discrimination and violence against women. By adopting international documents and delegating principles, they provided an important starting point in the drafting of legislation that, at the national level, prohibits sexual harassment. This paper aims to analyze international legal standards on sexual harassment, as well as through a comparative analysis of legal practices, to point out the fact that although the domestic legal framework, in general, is in line with international standards, inconsistencies can still be determined in several areas, but also to point out certain good examples of incrimination of this phenomenon.

Although the audience in the digital media space has more power than in the traditional media environment, as indicated by their ability to create, reshape and share content, media users’ behavior is shaped by the use of algorithms and big data management. Taking into consideration the fact that students use the internet and social media platforms daily, this paper aims to examine their perceptions and viewpoints on the operation of algorithms and data management on the Internet. According to a survey conducted by the authors, which consists of 200 respondents, two-thirds of students notice the results of the algorithmic personalization, filtered selection of content and news, and the customized display of content on social media. Even though 70% of them realize that user activities are continually monitored and that control over personal data online is taken over by large companies and/or a third party, most respondents express only moderate concern for their data online (82%), which further confirms the fact that only a small percentage of students (18%) almost always read the terms of use on a website, application, or internet service.

This article aims to analyze the Bulgarian labor law and regulations regarding the dignity of the worker or employee and the challenges to their protection in case of harassment by the employer. In the Republic of Bulgaria, many cases of disrespect for the dignity of work . Harassment in the workplace, as the most common cause of trampling on the dignity of the worker or employee, affects every aspect of their life. The Labor Code of the Republic of Bulgaria does not contain an explicit legal regulation of the concepts of “harassment” and “sexual harassment”, nor an explicit prohibition of these activities in the workplace. Sexual harassment and the harassment of certain protected characteristics are regulated in the anti-discrimination legislation, in particular the Protection Against Discrimination Act, which will be discussed in the article. In the article also discusses the Convention No. 190 of 2019 Concerning the Elimination of Violence and Harassment in the World of Work. The authors propose to ratify Convention No. 190 of 2019.

“Middle powers” is an academic term that encompasses the external manifestations of a state actor, such as spatial scale, resource volume, economic strength, geostrategic position, and international influence. Research on middle powers has gradually progressed from area studies to governance research on specific development fields. This article begins by providing the theoretical definition of middle powers and reviewing the practices of state actors, then applies the concept of middle powers to the space field. By reviewing the new theoretical concept of “space middle powers” and designing the “Space Power Ladder” model in methodology, this article summarizes the development-related factors and analyzes comparative cases, highlighting the similarities and differences in the background and implementation paths of South Korea and Indonesia in the space field, which are middle powers in a general sense. By demonstrating the causal relationship between the space development of different middle powers and related influencing factors, this article proposes theoretical supplements and innovations for both typology and general research of global middle powers.

National parliaments play an important role in the European integration process. Parliaments are the main law-making bodies in defining European integration policies, and on the other hand, the parliament oversight s the implementation of these policies by the government. This article discusses the practice of the Georgian Parliament's legislative activity on EU issues, the main forms of government oversight on the European integration policy, the powers of the European Integration Committee of the Parliament, and the forms of reaching a multi-party consensus on the European integration affairs. The article shows that the Parliament of Georgia focuses more on legislative activities and is weak in the field of government oversight on the European integration issues. These findings increase our understanding of the role of parliaments in the EU candidate countries where often the executive power dominates the process of policy implementation on European affairs.

Digital transmissions in Albania began in July 2004. Despite developing outside of any legal framework, terrestrial digital television quickly became an important aspect of the Albanian media market. Albania ratified the 2006 Geneva Convention on the digitalization of terrestrial TV broadcasters, and efforts to regulate the digitalization of audiovisual media began in 2007 with the approval of the first law for digital transmissions. The process of digitalization faced strong opposition due to pressure from existing television operators and their political connections. These obstacles caused significant delays, so the June 2015 deadline for the switchover was missed, and the finalization of the process failed to address the issues of illegality and concentration that plagued the Albanian audiovisual media market. Despite the existence of simple and enforceable legal ownership restrictions under the 2013 media law, the close connections between audiovisual operators, politics, and the justice system, allowed the market to become concentrated in the hands of a few owners, damaging media pluralism in the country and hindering the development of democracy. According to the European Commission's 2022 annual report on Albania, the country is moderately prepared in the field of freedom of expression and media independence. The quality of journalism is hampered by the intersection of business and political interests, as well as the concentration and lack of transparency of media funding.

The subject of the study is the relationship between entities in the Western Balkans and the United Arab Emirates as a process of adaptation to a new international environment and, consequently, the adoption of new roles and positions. The research question adopted is: What are the new role and the Western Balkans position from the perspective of the dynamics of relations between the countries of this region and the United Arab Emirates? To find an answer to the research question, appropriate scientific measures and methods were adopted, based on the theory of adaptation and international roles, using quantitative and qualitative methods. The answer to the posed research question is the statement that the Western Balkans, from their relations with the United Arab Emirates perspective, achieve a stronger role and position as a connector of strategic North-South transport and energy routes. However, the condition for the long-term increase in the importance of the Western Balkans is anchoring in the membership of the European Union and the Three Seas Initiative (3SI). The answers and the results obtained are significant because the problem under consideration concerns the processes of shaping a new international order. In addition, the presented research paper is innovative and based on original data. Thus, the results of the completed research described in this article set future directions of research focusing on the interdependence of processes taking place in the Western Balkans-Middle East-Caucasus triangle.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the critical language of racism in political communication reflected through online media. The analysis is focused on the elements of meaning and content structure of political statements and the context in which they are used. The analysis highlights the use of words with an intensity of meaning toward negative connotation, which manages to produce the harsh language of racism. Political communication develops an interactive discourse, which is simultaneously related not only to linguistic behavior but also to human behavior. Various political statements regarding immigration issues, the intensity of news published by media on the statements of politicians, as well as the influence they have on public opinion will be at the center of the discussion. Through descriptive and analytical methods, the article will argue and highlight the hostile, racial, and discriminatory language used by politicians, which is contradictory to the international framework on human rights and policies of the European Parliament which are focused on eliminating this approach.

This study aims to analyze the community movements of female fishermen, to obtain justice and fight discrimination for equal citizenship. Issuance of Indonesian Law concerning the protection of fishermen as a formal law to protect fishermen does not fully target female fishermen groups. One of the female fishermen movements in the coastal communities, which is joined by a community organization, was trying to request an adjustment of the occupation identity written in the National Identification Card (NIC) from housewife to fisherman to access the benefits of this law. Using four key dimensions of citizenship proposed by Stokke (2017), this paper seeks to fill a gap in the study of participatory and inclusive policy at the community level. We found that female fishermen experience unjust treatment in terms of recognition, welfare distribution, and political representation. They developed a shared identity based on their awareness of and encounters with unfair treatment, which is expressed in all four dimensions of citizenship, membership, legal status, rights, and participation. They learned a lot from this experience about how to identify each problem related to the four dimensions of citizenship, which serves as a strategy for developing and enhancing their sense of citizenship identity. Through a series of advocacy efforts and agreements, the recognition of female fishermen's citizenship is pursued to fulfill their requests.
