Article & 2008 In 2007 the concept of citizenship was officially incorporated into teacher education in Denmark, as part of a compulsory subject called 'Christianity studies, life enlightenment, and citizenship'. Thus, at least to some extent, the notion of citizenship is expected to find its way into the educational and political vocabulary of future teachers and pupils/students of the Danish educational system, and probably into the public discussions about the meaning of democratic education in general. The subject itself is only described in very general terms within the legal framework. In order to understand the meaning and purpose of the new subject it is necessary to position it within a broader discourse of citizenship education, as it has been launched by the Danish nation state since 1999. First, citizenship education seems to be exclusively about responding to cultural diversity; secondly, articulated as part of a nation state driven strategy of the sociocultural integration of foreigners, migrants and ethnic minorities. From this follow the questions: What does integration mean, and integration into what? I will make use of four different versions of multiculturalism as my analytical framework – assimilationism, cosmopolitanism, fragmented pluralism, interactive pluralism, and pointing to the fact that the first seems to be the hegemonic understanding of the purpose of citizenship education.

Se considera a la modernización administrativa un proceso histórico concreto en el que se producen transformaciones en la gestión pública de los Estados liberal-democráticos de los que España forma parte. Su principal característica procede de la modificación en las formas de prestación de los servicios públicos, que afectan a dos dimensiones respecto a sus antecedentes inmediatos, por una parte la privatización de sus relaciones con el entorno social y por otra la tecnificación de sus métodos de organización y gestión. Si bien la Administración pública es el sujeto de dichos cambios basados en políticas públicas destinadas a ella, su marco jurídico constituye el objeto más relevante para el funcionamiento del Estado de Derecho, sustrato definitorio de la eficacia y razón de ser de su organización y actividad.The administrative modernization is considered a concrete historical process in which changes occur in the public management of democratic liberal states of which Spain is a part. Its main feature is from the change in the ways of delivering public services, involving two dimensions relative to its immediate antecedents, on the one hand, privatization of its relationship with the social environment and on the other the modernization of its methods of organization and management. While public administration is the subject of such changes based on public policies aimed at her, its legal framework constitutes the most important object for the operation of the rule of law, definitor of the efficacy and rationale of its organization and activity.

Legal Understanding

This article reveals the public law concept of “leadership”, theoretical grounds of municipal leadership, its role within the system of municipal democracy and territorial public self-government from the perspective of integral legal understanding and a communicative approach towards law. The goal of this research consists in the analysis of conceptual and normative legal framework of the institutions of public law and municipal leadership, impact of the institution of leadership upon development of the forms of municipal democracy in the context of Russian and foreign experience, as well as peculiarities of the influence of the institution of public law leadership upon the forms of governance in territorial public self-government The subject of this research is the scientific views, normative legal framework of regulation, organizational practice of the institution of public law and municipal leadership in territorial public self-government in the context of functionality of the forms of municipal democracy. The article employs the formal legal and comparative analysis, methods of dialectics, municipal legal hermeneutics, communicative approach, and critical rationalism in legal studies, which allows viewing the municipal leadership as a complex interdisciplinary legal and administrative institution that assists the implementation of the forms of municipal democracy, and improves the effectiveness of the territorial self-government in cooperation with branches and officials of the local self-government. The following conclusions are made: the institution of public law leadership should be viewed as interdisciplinary, which incorporates the sphere of public law on the one hand, and the sphere of state and municipal administration on the other hand; the works of the Russian and foreign researchers indicate that the  concepts of transformational leadership, leadership-service and adaptive leadership can be analytically applied to the institution of municipal leadership; it is necessary to improve the institution of public law and municipal leadership, and ensure new spheres of juridification of the requirements for the heads of territorial self-government on the federal and municipal levels.

Administrative Act

The interest of the community regarding the use of public good is legally acknowledged as a public interest. In order to protect the public interest, a person of public law is not allowed to alienate the public good, nor burden it with certain forms of security rights. The power to dispose the public good is reduced to issuing licenses for the temporary and revocable use of the good that goes beyond general use. Approval may be issued in the form of an administrative act, concession or contract. Administrative act and concession enable the application of various remedies by which person of public law may protect the public interest. On the other hand, the contract as a legal basis for the use of public good does not allow a person of public law to enforce authoritative action and immediately protect the public interest. Nevertheless, administrative act and concession are underrepresented in the Croatian legislation, while contract has been given considerable space. Therefore, the subject of the article is the analysis of the regime of disposal of the public good, in order to critically address the adequacy of Croatian positive regulation from the viewpoint of the protection of the public interest, as well as to propose regulatory intervention in order to improve the present legal framework.

The Public Investment Management Assessment (PIMA) of Benin has brought to light an institutional framework of high quality but ineffective implementation. In accordance with the PIMA methodology applied in several countries, the mission focused on assessing the institutional strengths (such as the legal framework and organization) for each institution in the analytical framework, as well as its effective implementation. Benin was found to have a high-quality, relatively complete institutional framework. The country outperforms its peers in this regard, not only compared with the average for the countries of the subregion (the West African Economic and Monetary Union—WAEMU), but also the Sub-Saharan African countries that have already conducted a PIMA exercise (Figure 1). The effectiveness of the framework, however, is weak.

Abstract Here we discuss the current situation of citizenship education in Spain, briefly reviewing its legal and political context, and taking into account a questionnaire administered to an intentional sample of key informants. We argue that even though the compulsory subject 'education for citizenship and human rights' was ruled out from our classrooms, due to the numerous controversies that it raised, there still remain multiple individual and institutional initiatives that aim to form responsible, active and critical citizens. In general terms, however, it is clear there has been a backward step in this respect, especially because as an essential ingredient of democracy, controversial issues should be seen as opportunities or stimuli for learning, not as topics to be avoided or censored. Finally we recommend, among other things, to reinstate citizenship education as a compulsory subject (not as an alternative to religious education); to amend the current scientism, and other flaws, of our current legislation; to improve teachers' preparation for citizenship and values education, especially for a constructive handling of controversial issues (this requires clarification of the meaning of 'curricular free speech' among us); and to foster systematic research and dissemination efforts to optimize the civic qualities of our school cultures.

The development of Ukraine's inland waterways requires the improvement and advancement of shipping and appropriate infrastructure. The article deals with the legal framework for navigation in inland waterways of Ukraine and it is defined the concept of organization of water transport activities. It is outlined the structured system of water transport management bodies of Ukraine which is oriented towards the goal defined by the public interest, with the help of both legal and material means, as well as it ensures the achievement of the desired result, the final goal regarding the safe and economically efficient functioning of the water transport industry. It is also discussed the legal framework for navigation in inland waterways of Ukraine in detail and defined the concept of water transport activities organization. The author pays considerable attention to the state management and regulation of economic activity in inland waterway transport and responsibility for the rules violation of navigation in inland waterways of Ukraine. It is proposed to introduce new more improved levers and methods of managing the transport services markets and directly the participants of the transport process providing it, that is, shipping companies. Thus, summarizing the regulatory framework for navigation on inland waterways of Ukraine, we can conclude that the organization of water transport is a process of purposeful influence of the subject of management on the object of management through a set of legal and non-legal ways and methods by regulating social relations for the purpose of spatial movement of material objects (cargo), individuals (passengers) by sea and river by means of already existing types of floating means (vessels) and means of coastal infrastructure (ports, port means, port points, piers, specialized enterprises, etc.). If we consider public administration not as the whole range of manifestations of state power (legislative, executive and judicial), but as a manifestation only of its executive component, then in this case the functions of bylaws, control, public services, security, etc. rely on executive authorities, attesting to their leading role in defining, maintaining and protecting the rights, interests and established regimes of coastal waters.

Indigenous Sovereignty

This article attempts to explore the Islamic interpretation within the legal framework of the Malayan indigenous sovereignty. The position of Islam within the country’s legal framework became important when the Court’s decision in Che Omar Che Soh vs the Public Prosecutor, made the sovereignty of the Malay Rulers as a parameter in interpreting Islam within the context of Article 3 of the Federal Constitution. This is a qualitative study applying the legal history design. The findings showed the indigenous sovereignty was sourced from the Islamic teachings which had not been dissolved despite the introduction of the doctrine of advice by the British. Besides, the agreement made between the Malay Rulers and the British retained the indigenous sovereignty despite of various policies introduced by the British throughout their interference in Malaya which was subjected to the old Malayan Constitution. In conclusion, the accurate interpretation of Islam should be based on the al-Qur'an and al-Sunnah because it is in line with the principle of the indigenous sovereignty inherited from the Malay Sultanate of Malacca.
