Among the priority management goals of any higher education institution are to obtain higher professional qualification and to enhance the possibilities for students’ professional realization. The discussions about the adequacy of the training which the graduates of economic higher education institutions receive are multilayer and they are characterized by inherent contradictions in interests. One of the major reasons for these contradictions is founded on the lack of adequate and timely measures for “successful” student qualification profile. This causes a “fuzzy” perspective for a good professional realization. The focus of this article is in the institutional research area. Its basic goal is to design a methodology and to develop and adopt a methodology for measurement and monitoring of student’s personal qualification profile through a web-based system with multivariate variables.

While many international relations scholars have utilized the tools of economics (such as game theory) to help answer these questions, few economists have systematically attempted to provide an ... Can liberal democracy be exported at gunpoint? Are military occupation and reconstruction effective methods for establishing permanent liberal democracies? While many international relations scholars have utilized the tools of economics (such as game theory) to help answer these questions, few economists have systematically attempted to provide an answer this question using both economic theory and history. Christopher Coyne’s After War fills in this gap and provides valuable insight into the problems the United States faces when trying to establish law and order by force in weak and failed states.
