Introduction. In modern Russian society with high rates of development of market relations, digitalization of the main spheres of life, popularization of the ideas of self-organization and self-regulation, legal uncertainty acts as a bipolar phenomenon, which is not only a consequence of law-making errors, but an effective technical and legal way of presenting regulations. Theoretical analysis. The historical analysis of the formation and development of ideas of certainty and uncertainty in jurisprudence showed that these categories are considered as universal phenomena characteristic of any matter. It was established that absolute certainty is unattainable and not always in demand, while legal uncertainty is inherent in the very nature of law. Еmpirical analysis. It was revealed that the need to ensure mobility and flexibility of legal regulation imposes the task of a reasonable use of legal uncertainty as a technical and legal way of presenting law on the law-making subject, which is reflected in the current legislation. Results. Legal uncertainty is an objective and inevitable phenomenon, and the total regulation of social relations is not always justified. The law is being improved on the basis of the principle of transition from the casuistic to the abstract, which proves its universality.

Although globalization has many facets, a key marker is the increasing domination of market relations over other kinds of social relations. This phenomenon has created an increased interest in alternative forms of economic development more consistent with community values, as well as an increased attention to the nature and importance of social relationships in themselves and as preconditions for economic success. This chapter provides numerous examples of the role that social economy and, in particular, co-operatives play in developing and sustaining communities in Canada, by building and strengthening physical, personal, and social infrastructures in remote, rural, and indigenous areas, as well as in urban settings.

Corporate governance has long been theorized and criticized within the template provided by neoliberalism. This assumes that social relations will become most honest and productive when modelled on market relations. Yet this also results in a business culture of mistrust and endless audit. Participatory governance forms have certain advantages, which need clearly understanding and articulating. Firstly, they treat dialogue as a better principle for relations within the firm than competition. Secondly, they treat ambiguity of value as a virtue, which can yield innovation. However, there is insufficient training, expertise, and practice for these advantages to come properly to light. As a result, we remain too often stuck with a dysfunctional model, whose failures are met with calls for more of the same.

This article is about the construction of identities of artists working in the streets taking as reference the movemnt "Life is a party". This movement occurs since 2002 and put all together artists from the music, visual arts, dramatic art, literature of "cordel", "Tambor de Crioula", poetry and "Bumba meu bi" with performances every thursday in the center of the brazilian city São Luís do Maranhão. This approach includes reflections about expressions showed in this event as "art of the streets" or "art in the streets", as a singular mode of solidarity among the artists and a way to build social relations. In the case analysed here, the production of art implies a identity of artist that deny the institutional and market relations of meaning.

Introduction. Based on a modern approach, the article provides an analysis of regulatory legal acts that have influenced the history of financial law development both in Russia and abroad. Financial law in addition is studied as an independent object of scientific interest both in retrospect and in the context of the statics and dynamics of modern scientific knowledge.Materials and methods. The article is based on such techniques as: analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalization, analogy, and others. The methodological basis of the research includes general scientific and special legal methods: systemstructural, method of dogmatic analysis, method of interpretation of legal norms, method of legal and technical construction, comparative legal, formal legal, logical method, etc.Results. The analysis showed that the formation of financial law, both in Russia and abroad, is related to the emergence of monetary (exchange) operations and the emergence of a state. The sources of financial law that have come down to our days have changed, transformed, and formed new ones. The creation of a new financial system of the state is associated with the implementation of the state’s functions for creating and managing financial resources without delegating the relevant authority to anyone.Discussion and conclusion. The study showed that the formation of financial law as an Autonomous branch of law was predetermined by the emergence and development of such fundamental elements of economic relations as taxes, budget, money, etc. Social relations that were previously regulated by financial law are gaining new features. This is primarily related to the formation of market relations. This fact should be taken into account when developing new rules in future sources of financial law in order to achieve the most effective impact on public relations

It has been twenty years since E. P. Thompson introduced the term “moral economy” into the historian's vocabulary. Since then it has exerted a paradigmatic force in explanations of the motivations for, and responses to, various forms of popular action. Pitted against this has been the notion of political economy, most often presented as a subsequent (and eventually triumphant) ideological development that was necessarily antithetical to a moral economy. Together these two models have served as fundamental reference points around which accounts of popular protest and public policy have been constructed. Recent explorations into past assumptions regarding the proper functioning of the marketplace have served to open this conventional schematization to debate. Thompson himself has once again entered the fray with a further refinement and restatement of his original arguments and a spirited riposte to his critics. The purpose of the following essay is to focus and further develop this debate in light of the author's ongoing research into the City of London in the late eighteenth century.In seeking to loosen the constructs through which past economic relations and ideologies have been characterized, this essay will concentrate on two main areas of enquiry. The first follows the work of other historians in attempting to probe more deeply into the diverse and often conflicting understandings of the marketplace articulated in this period, thus revealing alternate possibilities in the interstices of moral economy and political economy. The second as yet remains relatively unexplored and concerns a series of assumptions as to who might be expected to advocate these various conceptions of market relations and why.

Valdemingómez, however, revolves around its own norms and codes which defy and violate conventional everyday conceptions of normative behaviour. This congregation of crime, violence and victimization in a spatial and legal no-mans land like Valdemingómez means that grave misdemeanours occur without consequences and violence is normalized part of the everyday fabric of social life. For this reason, in Valdemingómez almost anything goes and this produces a series of tensions in the social hierarchies that are attached to cultural interactions in the area which permeate elements of work and labour, the moral economy, daily life and social relations. In this chapter, we take a detailed look at the cultural milieu of Valdemingómez and its operations, and show how people survive there and how the various players attempt to foster some self-respect from these harsh realities.

The relevance of studying ideological foundations of service is determined by the significance of service in the system of social relations at the level of social commonalities interactions. An institutional regulation of the interaction between subjects of service requires exploring ways of institutional and commonality–based development of the participants’ social ties: consumers, representatives of the business community of the servicing sector and state agencies. Institutional characteristics of service disclose its links to social processes and reveal the problems of social interactions between different community subjects. A sociological approach allows for identifying opportunities for shaping sustainable service interaction of social commonalities. The study aims to explore institutional and commonality-based foundations of the ideology of service – the necessity to create an organizational model of service capable of extending the boundaries of client-orientation in service interactions is actualized. Based on the tradition of symbolic interactionism, commonality-driven, institutional, functional, and system approaches in sociology conditions for forming the social balance of the interests of service subjects at commonality-based and institutional levels of interaction were found. A commonality approach complemented by the theory of marketing made it possible to characterize the nature of the social impact of each service subject on the substance and forms of interaction. The social context of shaping relationships between interacting commonalities is characterized from the perspective of an institutional approach. The ideology of client-orientedness is able to overcome institutional controversies, provide stability in the social space of service practices. The focus of servicing business on the satisfaction of consumer needs defines the advantageous position of the consumer in market relations of service communality-based triad. Collaboration between entrepreneurs and the authorities is targeted to the provision of a fulfilling life of the citizens- the consumer within the framework of state policy and business efforts in the servicing sector of the economy.
