Authors:Nayarà Castillo-Rutz, Tatjana Horvat Pages: 4 - 16 Abstract: The paper builds a bridge between the various interest groups and promotes a functioning amalgam between authorities, specialists, planners, cultural workers and citizens. The future use of systematic instruments could support the development of long-term, socially sustainable urban projects that attract cultural tourism, promote a better life and activate civic participation. The toolbox approach highlights the issue of Intellectual Property (IP) protection. A directory that shows who owns what provides idea/trademark owners with a potential reference point to find out about their rights and the extent to which these rights are being used. This could be particularly helpful in those jurisdictions where proof of first use or genuine use is required. Block chain technology can also play an important role in the context of unregistered IP rights, as it can provide evidence of their conception, use, qualification requirements, and the country of origin.

Authors:Nayarà Castillo-Rutz, Tatjana Horvat Pages: 17 - 25 Abstract: Nowadays, blockchain applications appear as a new technology which disrupts traditional centralised authorities. Even though this technology has huge potential and receives increasing investments, researches are mostly limited to bitcoin, and they are limited. With subjective knowledge about blockchain and individual trust, this study attempts to focus on the technology acceptance model in order to understand the dynamics behind its use by individuals. A quantitative research study was conducted with 94 users of Save-Ideas.com, which is a blockchain-based website, and the results were analysed by Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that individuals with knowledge of blockchain technology will have greater trust in these websites and will perceive these websites as more useful. Then, people will be more likely to accept the website. Keywords: blockchain; technology acceptance; digital marketing Citation: International Journal of Diplomacy and Economy, Vol. 6, No. 1 (2020) pp. 17 - 25 PubDate: 2020-09-17T23:20:50-05:00 DOI: 10.1504/IJDIPE.2020.109630 Issue No:Vol. 6, No. 1 (2020)
Authors:Iona Cecily Moore Kirkpatrick, Tatjana Horvat, Vito Bobek Pages: 26 - 40 Abstract: The aim of this research is to highlight the relationship between tertiary education, nutritional standards and agricultural production. The authors performed the comparative theoretical analysis. The evidence shows that rural areas are lacking in role models and motivation, coupled with poor dietary standards and poorly educated elder generations. Two main issues arise from this: a society with a lack of social mobility due to poor educational standards, poor social health involving cases of childhood obesity, malnourishment and underachievement. Our solution would address the issues by putting in place a comprehensive plan of action, catering to the needs of both the educational and agricultural systems in marginalised, rural areas. The paper goes on to expand the idea of a synthesis of the two major sectors - access to tertiary education, and innovation - with a view to reaching the above goals, i.e. regional competitiveness, social welfare, viable economies and knowledge creation.

Authors:Iona Cecily Moore Kirkpatrick, Tatjana Horvat, Vito Bobek Pages: 41 - 50 Abstract: In this paper, utilising the cost-benefit analysis we evaluate a unique supplementary concept to the traditional intellectual property protection and the long-term social-economic feasibility of Save-ideas company. Many creative innovators have ideas about solving problems, improving lives, increasing productivity, preventing damage, saving money, etc. But unfortunately, most of these people do not have the money, nor the time to go down the conventional IPR protection route. With changes brought about by the internet and crowd participation, new options to address this problem have emerged. Such a new solution is the save-ideas.com platform. The result of the analysis clearly justified used resources, while consequently straightening determination on continuation of the Save-Ideas (SIs) project with the current vision.

Authors:Lindita Komani, Vito Bobek Pages: 51 - 66 Abstract: This paper looks at innovation from a theoretical and practical perspective and recent developments, including open innovation and its importance for the EU. In the first section, the authors establish a link between the pursuit of competitiveness and R&D funding, innovation and economic growth. They then discuss the current status of the EU and its member states at EU level and globally, and present expert views on the concerns and identified challenges that the EU can and would best address. The core section presents the case of Israel, which could be used as best practice for the EU in several areas. Within ten years, Israel has succeeded in becoming one of the leading countries in the innovation race. Finally, the authors critically reflect on the material presented in the paper and draw several conclusions.

Authors:Lindita Komani, Vito Bobek Pages: 67 - 84 Abstract: The Cayman Islands is finally ready to establish external relations. Starting almost from scratch, its new Ministry of International Trade, Investment, Aviation and Maritime Affairs is launching a coordinated global charm offensive. Economic diplomacy should be put at the centre of the Ministry's strategy because of Cayman's role as a world-leading offshore financial centre. This article puts forward a four-action plan to inform its early activities. It is structured in four main sections, covering each of the suggested actions, which are (i) setting up an electronic one-stop-shop for investment, (ii) humanising 'Brand Cayman', (iii) creating a worldwide network of Government offices, starting in Brussels, to deploy economic diplomacy and (iv) promoting blue-green investments on island through public-private partnerships. The methodology is desk-based research. Sources blend international and local materials for a unique perspective.

Authors:Lindita Komani, Vito Bobek Pages: 85 - 104 Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the responsibility of Indonesia as a transit country against foreigners who are involved in people smuggling crime in the territory of Indonesia. The approach method used in this research was the Juridical Sociological approach, which means that this study examined the problem by researching from the aspect of law science. In handling the crime of people smuggling involving foreigners, Indonesia has its own rules in the handling of smuggled foreigners. Therefore, there needs to be coordination with other related agencies. There is a difference in the handling of this people smuggling case. This research is one of the few studies that examine people smuggling, given Indonesia's geographic position that lies between two continents and two oceans make Indonesia a very strategic area, not only bringing positive impacts for the benefit of access to transnational commerce but also the international maritime path.
