In this review of the changing relationship between social policy and social justice I will be concerned with three main areas of debate. Firstly, I wish to attempt a clarification of the moral ideals of social welfare which find expression in those criteria of social justice by which people in similar states of need are treated differently. My second concern is to review and redefine what constitutes the social division of welfare in Britain today. Thirdly, I wish to explore the extent to which these ideals of social welfare complement or conflict with one another.

The article examines the process of activization of the leftwing extremist groups in modern Russia. The author draws attention to the social protest rallies that have unfolded in recent years and coincided with the growing demand for social justice in the mass consciousness of Russians. Modern leftwing extremist groups, according to the author, may be based on on the orthodox authoritarian, new left or anarchist idiological patforms. It is anarchism that will be dangerous as a form of youth radical protest. The only effective way to prevent leftwing extremism is a developped state social policy aimed at equalizing the level of income between the various strata of the economically active population, as well as helping lowincome categories of citizens. Special attention should be paid to the development of social elevators which open up new prospects for Russian youth.

ABSTRACT The first part of this article reviews Canada’s international copyright history and the role Canada has played in international copyright from the nineteenth century to the present day. In part two, the author asks whether we can be optimistic or pessimistic about Canada’s role, and the role of international institutions more generally, in promoting solutions to the social policy and social justice concerns raised by the expansion of intellectual property. The author argues that Canada’s history, while demonstrating Canada’s potential to support progressive change, has not borne out certain middle power ideals.RÉSUMÉ Dans la première partie de cet article, je passe en revue l’histoire du Canada, le droit d’auteur international et le rôle qu’a joué le Canada dans le droit d’auteur international du XIXe siècle à nos jours. Dans la deuxième partie, je me demande si nous pouvons être optimistes ou pessimistes en ce qui concerne le rôle du Canada dans la promotion des solutions face aux préoccupations par rapport aux politiques sociales dans le domaine du droit d’auteur international. Je soutiens que l’histoire du Canada, tout en démontrant le potentiel du Canada pour appuyer le changement progressif, n’a pas démontrée certains des idéaux d’une puissance moyenne.

ABSTRACTBritain, like other advanced urban industrial countries, is passing through economic changes more fundamental than the recession and inflation which take so much of the headlines. These changes in industrial structure have political implications which influence the distribution of power and the allocation of opportunities and rewards, both through the market and through the social wage furnished by governments. They call for a critical reappraisal of old ideas about the practice, the study and the teaching of social policy, and an attempt to formulate new approaches to this field – or to reformulate the old approaches.

This chapter forms the land case study for Finland. As with all empirical chapters it explores several key themes in relation to food charity in Finland: • the history of food charity in the national context and the relationship between the welfare state and charities; • the nature of and drivers behind contemporary food charity provision; • key changes in social policy and their impact on rising charitable food provision; • and the social justice implications of increasing need for charitable assistance with food. The chapter concludes with critical reflections on the future direction of food charity provision in Finland and the implications of this.

FQ books editor Carla Marcantonio guides readers through the 33rd edition of Il Cinema Ritrovato Festival held each year in Bologna at the end of June. Highlights of this year's festival included a restoration of one of Vittorio De Sica's hard-to-find and hence lesser-known films, the social justice fairy tale, Miracolo a Milano (Miracle in Milan, 1951). The film was presented by De Sica's daughter, Emi De Sica, and was an example of the ongoing project to restore De Sica's archive, which was given to the Cineteca de Bologna in 2016. Marcantonio also notes her unexpected responses to certain reviewings; Apocalypse Now: Final Cut (2019), presented by Francis Ford Coppola on the large-scale screen of Piazza Maggiore and accompanied by remastered Dolby Atmos sound, struck her as a tour-de-force while a restoration of David Lynch's Blue Velvet (1986) had lost some of its strange allure.
