Since 9/11, the fight against the financial sources of terrorism has become a major arena for international co-operation. In the first part, the paper highlights the borderline between security studies and international political economy. The second part of the paper asks how successful the international community is in this fight. The authors show that the idea of seizing terrorist funds and denying access to the international financial system is not a very promising one. They conclude that, so far, results have been mixed and that only a political approach to the problem promises a solution.

Der bemerkenswerte Transformationspfad der zentralstaatlichen Verwaltung in Estland von der Sowjetbürokratie hin zum mustergültigen EU-Beitrittsland wird anhand des Landwirtschaftsministeriums beschrieben. Für dieses Gebiet gibt es im Gegensatz zu den bekannteren und gut recherchierten Aspekten der Transformation wie Demokratisierung, Wirtschaftsumbau und Außenpolitik noch keine Fallstudie. Daher wird hier die Entwicklung der staatlichen Verwaltung im Zeitverlauf anhand des Wandels der estnischen Agrarpolitik und Landwirtschaftsverwaltung nachvollzogen. Am Ende werden Schlussfolgerungen formuliert und verdeutlicht, dass viele Erkenntnisse über das eigentliche Untersuchungsland hinausgehen und ebenso für andere Transformationsländer in MOE gelten.

The article structually estimates an on-the-job search model of job separations. Given each employer pays observably equivalent workers the same but wages are dispersed across employers, an employer's separation flow is the sum of an exogenous outflow unrelated to the wage and a job-to-job flow that decreases with the employer's wage. Using data from the Danish Integrated Database for Labour Market Research, the empirical results imply, as predicted by theory, that search effort declines with the wage. Furthermore, the estimates explain the employment effect, defined as the horizontal difference between the distribution of wages earned and the wage offer distribution
This article examines the multiple governments of independent Estonia since 1992 referring to their stability. Confronted with the immense problems of democratic transition, the multi-party governments of Estonia change comparatively often. Following the elections of March 2003 the ninth government since 1992 was formed. A detailed examination of government stability and the example of Estonia is accordingly warranted, given that the country is seen as the most successful Central Eastern European transition country in spite of its frequent changes of government. Furthermore, this article questions whether or not internal government stability can exist within a situation where the government changes frequently. What does stability of government mean and what are the varying multi-faceted depths of the term? Before analysing the term, it has to be clarified and defined. It is presumed that government stability is composed of multiple variables influencing one another. Data about the average tenure of a government is not very conclusive. Rather, the deeper political causes for governmental change need to be examined. Therefore, this article discusses the conceptual and theoretical basics of governmental stability first. Secondly, it discusses the Estonian situation in detail up to the elections of 2003, including a short review of the 9th government since independence. In the conclusion, the author explains whether or not the governments of Estonia are stable. In the appendix, the reader finds all election results and also a list of all previous ministers of Estonian governments (all data are as of July 2002).
