“…Still on the economic dimension, we can see in the 3C and 3D codes the search for fair trade for all the agents involved, taking into account the di culties of undertaking sustainably, a behavior that reinforces the data found in the axial phase. Fair trade schemes are prominent forms of new or private governance that, if properly handled and managed, can contribute not only to sustainable development but also to the greening of the economy (Ribeiro-Duthie et al, 2021).…”

The rhetorictoward entrepreneurship in the Amazon region highlights the importance of sustainable actions developed by local brands. But little attention has been given to the entrepreneur's vision regarding the results of said applied practices. This study seeks to understand the perception of entrepreneurs from their business model related to the connection of the Amazon rainforest brand. The study consisted of semi structuredinterviews with 7 brands of Amazonian products using grounded theory. The results show that entrepreneurs understand that the reach of the social dimension depends on the trifecta articulation: entrepreneurs, native people, and ecological and cultural dimensions codependence directly on shared traditional knowledge. It is observed that the political dimension is still little developed in the region and its effects on products are inconsequential. The economic dimension is still little favored using environmentally sustainable brands. Finally, the territorial dimension depends on the creation of permanent protection areas as well as agroforestry systems.

“…Bolivar-Meijer [43] highlights six attributes of a smart governance system, which must be based on ICT, external collaboration and participation, internal coordination, the decision-making process, e-government and results. Accessing information about public institutions via the Internet, filling in online forms, e-commerce [44,45], paying taxes online [46], submitting documents to the National Agency for Fiscal Administration (NAFA) via the Internet and using e-mail or electronically signed documents in relation to public institutions become increasingly normal ways of interacting with public administration [47,48]. In order to effectively coordinate the many departments and to have access to real-time data, public administrations need intelligent systems and tools.…”

The Smart City concept has emerged in the last decade as a fusion of ideas about how information and communication technologies could improve the functioning of cities. A new concept, that of a sustainable Smart City, is already under discussion. This article aims at analyzing the Smart City concept in Romania. The resulting advantages, but also the difficulties and obstacles that need to be confronted, are considered when becoming a Smart City. When a city wants to become smart, it must consider both the advantages and the difficulties it will face in this endeavor. This paper has been able to take into account and group the four key features of a sustainable Smart City. The authors conducted research in two parts. The first consisted of conducting a comparative analysis of the most important results of Smart City projects implemented in the four reference cities in Romania compared to London. The second, a quantitative analysis, aimed to analyze the opinions and attitudes of Romanians regarding the Smart City concept in relation to sustainability. An important finding of the study shows that over half of the respondents are familiar with the Smart City concept and 41.9% consider health as a priority for investment in technology. The authors of the article propose clearer highlighting and division of cities from the point of view of creating a Smart City.

This paper examines the implications of trade protectionism on Nigeria’s economy, with a particular focus on the sectors that heavily rely on exporting oil and gas products to the United States (U.S). Conversely, the U.S. occasionally resorts to restrictive measures to defend domestic industries against competitive Nigerian imports, primarily to conserve domestic employment and promote indigenous innovation The reliance on oil exports also poses challenges for Nigeria’s diversification efforts and its ability to develop other sectors of the economy. In recent years, there has been a growing trend of protectionist measures implemented by countries around the world, which has the potential to disrupt global supply chains and affect international trade. As a major oil exporter, Nigeria is vulnerable to global oil price changes, and any increase in trade barriers, such as tariffs or quotas, could have significant implications for the country’s overall economic growth. Historically, nations have adopted protectionist strategies to shield domestic industries, ensure economic stability, and protect employment. However, the rise in such measures in recent years has disrupted global supply chains, inflating procurement costs and imposing challenges to businesses that rely heavily on international sourcing. In navigating this convoluted trade milieu, the paper proposes a set of adaptive strategies. Emphasis is placed on the endorsement of regional trading blocs, advocating the benefits of memberships like ECOWAS for Nigeria and NAFTA/USMCA for the U.S. Such affiliations can serve as buffers against global protectionist winds. Furthermore, harnessing technology in procurement operations is underscored as a critical tool for businesses, aiding in the mitigation of potential disruptions and costs instigated by protectionism. In conclusion, while trade protectionism addresses certain immediate national concerns, its cascading effects on global procurement and specific bilateral relations mandate an informed, strategic response to ensure sustained economic growth and stability.
