This study analyzes the role of economic sanctions as a key instrument in contemporary trade wars. It traces their evolution from limited and unsystematic measures in the past to highly specialized mechanisms of geoeconomic influence. The focus is placed on modern forms of sanctions, including financial restrictions, technological controls, and secondary sanctions, which are used to achieve economic and political dominance. The study also examines their impact on specific economic sectors such as agriculture and aviation, where both adaptive processes and structural distortions can be observed. The limitations of sanctions are also analyzed, particularly those related to global economic interdependence and the possibilities for their circumvention. The study concludes that despite their significant short-term effects, sanctions do not always achieve sustainable results and often lead to a reconfiguration of global economic relations.

This empirical survey study aims to define the motivational profile for educational migration among high school graduates in the city of Varna. First, a descriptive frequency analysis will be used to identify those who wish to continue their education in Bulgaria. Next, a comparative analysis will examine whether those leaving speak more languages than the remaining respondents. The third part of the empirical study will rank the motives by importance for respondents leaving their homeland and analyze the correlations between them.

The primary objective is to evaluate the degree of brand awareness and perceived quality relative to competitors, culminating in the development of a positioning map based on consumer attitudes. The methodology employs a mixed-methods approach: a qualitative spontaneous recall test with five respondents and a quantitative online survey involving 25 participants using a 5-point Likert scale to assess key criteria. The results demonstrate that Lindor is the definitive leader in terms of taste, quality, and premium image, with 76% of respondents selecting it as their top brand. The brand occupies the strongest position in the premium segment, successfully blending sensory experience with high emotional engagement. The study confirms a total alignment between Lindt & Sprüngli�s global brand strategy and actual consumer perceptions in the market.
