This paper aims to broadly discuss the consequences of EU enlargement on the Polish banking sector and the issues arising from it.

There are two broad objectives of the paper – first, to discuss the scope and evolution of banking and regulatory reforms since Poland's accession to the EU and second, to examine some of the specific legal and regulatory issues that have arisen from the implementation of third capital adequacy directive (CAD3) in the Polish banking sector.

Implications of CAD3 implementation in Poland include: Poland's capability of co‐operating within the EU financial sphere; making the Polish financial sector internationally competitive; opportunity for growth for the Polish banking sector; and a major overhaul of capital adequacy laws and institutions. A proposed mode of CAD3 implementation as an example of integrating Poland into the EU include: understanding the historical transformation process that the state underwent; using international experiences in regulating the corresponding sector; and taking into account factors specific to emerging economies where the integration takes place. Examples include: social banking and the need to create a regulatory body first then implementing and enforcing regulations.

This paper explores the integration of Poland with the European Union on the example of banking regulatory reforms and CAD3 implementation. It makes a case for the implementation of the CAD3 rather than looking at the methods, modes and rules governing the implementation of CAD3.

In 1994, MIT's Sloan School of Management began a global initiative to explore the future of organizations. This initiative was a joint venture between the Sloan faculty and a number of companies from around the world. Part of the early work of the initiative was to shape a clear understanding of the issues organizations must face and resolve in the coming years. We asked three of the principals in this important work to summarize their research approach as a way of setting the stage for this issue's discussion about organizing for the future.

Over the last twenty or thirty years, in spite of the frictions and difficulties that have arisen from time to time, economic relations between the United States and Japan have been very successful and beneficial for both countries.

Two speakers at Online 95 spoke on the contentious subjects of censorship and other ethical matters on the Internet. Charles Oppenheim, then of the University of Strathclyde, talked about three problem areas on the Internet that are difficult to police — pornography; copyright and moral rights infringement; and libel and slander. He also cited some examples of each. Michael Dahan of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and of the Israel Democracy Institute, then talked about the censorship imposed on the Internet by the secret service in Israel — a country that is understandably more security conscious than many in the West.

This research paper examines the post-military landscape of the Victoria Barracks regarding the high-density urbanism in Hong Kong from the 1970s to the 2000s. The article first interprets the concept of post-military landscape according to the ideology and urbanism of the then Hong Kong society. It then studies three plans of the Victoria Barracks of different stages, showing contestations between domestic, commercial and administrative powers in controlling the military redevelopment. Several contemporary architectural projects on the site will also provide an alternative view of the transformation according to the local economic laissez-faire policy. Its influence to the unsatisfactory heritage protection leads to the disappearance and false representation of the identity of this particular military and cultural heritage.
