A modicum review of the literature demonstrated the shape of psychopathic leadership traits for future research within the context of the study. The implications and accurate and deep understanding drawn from this limited literature revealed the plausibility of psychopathic leadership traits within the context of tertiary institutions.

So, at a statistical level, in order to obtain a better definition of inequality, the GDP mechanism should no longer be considered the main benchmark for economic development and social progress, and the new statistical tools which clearly recognize the multidimensionality of that variable should be preferred. The same change of perspective should also be considered at a philosophical level, since a wider result about this issue can be achieved only shifting from the utilitarian philosophy to a more comprehensive theory, such as the Capability approach. Finally, inequality and socioeconomic development matters are necessarily correlated with the kind of socioeconomic framework chosen by the society; thus, we have also to investigate how equality and efficiency behave in the main paradigms which characterized the last two centuries, in order to identify the related advantages and disadvantages, and consequently make the appropriate adjustments. However, also in this field, by adopting a different point of view from the mainstream, it would be possible to move towards a completely new paradigm, able to valorize both efficiency and equality, thus allowing to overcome the Okun tradeoff to which all the main models (even if adjusted) are inevitably subjected.

The Case of Somaliland (1991-2018)" Abstract: Somaliland, the small enclave of the Horn of Africa, declared its independence unilaterally from Somalia in 1991. Since then the region has gone through a long local process of pacification, state reconstruction and democratization. These objectives had the purpose of achieving international recognition based on the idea that democratization and stabilization would attract the attention of major regional and international actors who would value the difference of Somaliland from the rest of Somalia, which was living in a context of chaos in the 1990s. Since its de facto independence, the country has not been recognized by any state in the world. Nevertheless, and although it may be contradictory, Somaliland maintain relations with different states, actors and internal institutions. The European Union, although it does not formally recognize Somaliland as an independent country, does maintains relations at different levels such as cooperation and development, military missions, promotion of democracy and good governance and even supports educational, health and gender programs in order to improve the living conditions of the region’s population. This research analyses EU-Somaliland relations, the policies carried out by Brussels in the region and the situation regarding international recognition. To this end, an in-depth review of the bibliography has been carried out. Furthermore, official documentation, reports, press documents and elections results have been used for this study.

Drug use is currently found in almost all social classes and when it comes to problematic drug use, the effects can be devastating for the drug user, his family and even for the community to which he belongs. The drug use problem is a complex one, taking in account the type of addiction that it develops, the great diversity of substances and their different effects on the body and the central nervous system. In common knowledge, the link between drug use and crime is an obvious one. According to the Romanian legislation in force, unlawful possession of drugs for personal use is a crime and is punishable by imprisonment or fine. The drug-related crime issue goes far beyond committing a drug possession crime. In the social area, drug use leads to problems that are very difficult to manage starting from school dropout, domestic violence, deviant behavior and committing crimes. There is a strong link between illicit drug use and criminal behavior, an infinitely more complex issue than the stereotype of a drug user who commits criminal acts under the influence of psycho-active substances or a robbery in order to obtain money to buy the drugs to which they have become addicted. The objective of the current article is to provide an overview on drug related crimes in Romania, among adults and minors, through a systematic analysis of available indicators and statistics. Classification-JEL: I10, I12 Keywords: Crime; drugs; addiction; psycho-active substances; violence; minors.

Adegbesan Author-Workplace-Name: National Institute for Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA), Nigeria Title: "Trend Analysis of Fee-Free Policy on Quality of Universal Basic Education in South West, Nigeria" Abstract: This study investigated the impact of fee-free policy on quality of Universal Basic Education in South-West, Nigeria. The observed gap in quality of Universal Basic Education despite the fee-free basic education policy necessitated the study. The study was guided by one research question and one hypothesis. Descriptive research of survey type was used for the study. The population comprised all public primary school teachers and pupils in South-West, Nigeria. A sample of one thousand nine hundred and twenty (1,920) respondents including male and female teachers selected from the sampled States of Lagos, Ogun and Oyo. The instrument, Fee-free Policy Impact of Universal Basic Education Descriptive Questionnaire (FPIUBDQE) was used for data collection. Data on public primary school pupils’ enrolment, teachers’ population and school list for a period of 2000-2012 was also used. Simple Linear Regression Analysis and Descriptive Statistics were used for the hypothesis and the research question. The result shows a significant Impact of fee-free policy on quality of Universal Basic Education. However, the survey reveals an alarming ratio of teachers to pupils ranging from 1:50 to 1:76 in some schools in the sampled States. It was suggested among others that government should be more committed and consistent in their maintenance of high quality in delivery of education services in the UBE schools.
