IN CHAPTER XVIII OF THE CONSIDERATIONS ON REPRESENTATIVE Government (1861) which discussed ‘The Government of Dependencies by Free States’ John Stuart Mill wrote that ‘It is always under great difficulties and very imperfectly, that a country can be governed by foreigners; even where there is no extreme disparity, in habits and ideas, between the rulers and the ruled. Foreigners do not feel with the people. They cantlot judge, by the light in which a thing appears to their own minds, or the manner in which it affects their feelings, how it will affect the feelings or appear in the minds of the subject population.’ This to Mill was a disadvantage; but reflection may lead us to conclude that there may be solid advantages in such a state of affairs; for we will remember that government, whether by foreigner or by native is exercise of power; and power, it is commonly and rightly said, sets up barriers, isolates, puts him who exercises it in a Merent world from him who is subject to it. Those who have power and those who do not have power are different species of men. It is therefore safer and more prudent for distances to be kept , and for the governed to approach their governors with cautious and mistrustful circumspection. An ancient Chinese sage declared it a mistake to compare the ruler to a father; for, he said, the ruler does not (or at any rate should not) feel affection towards his people. Again, the story is told of another wise Chinese, a ruler who, recovering from an illness, heard that his subjects had sacrificed an ox for his recovery.

In the constitution of Massachusetts is found the following: “In the government of this commonwealth the legislative department shall never exercise the executive and judicial powers or either of them; the executive shall never exercise the legislative and judicial powers or either of them; the judicial shall never exercise the legislative and executive powers or either of them; to the end it may be a government of laws and not of men.” This is probably the most explicit statement of the doctrine of separation of powers to be found in the constitution of any of the states of this Union. While the doctrine has been set forth in other constitutions in other language, the constitutions of all the states as construed and interpreted have come to have substantially the same meaning. For more than a century, lawyers, courts, political scientists, publicists, and the people generally regarded the separation of the government into coördinate departments as one of the corner-stones of our liberties.Montesquieu, who had no doubt derived his ideas upon the subject from the writings of Locke and a study of English law, in 1748 published his great work, The Spirit of Laws. In this treatise he gave a new exposition of the doctrine of separation of powers and the reasons for it, in a form which gave it wide currency in the English-speaking world; but this exposition was intended by Montesquieu to be a statement of political theory, and was so accepted by political writers of the time.

The report analyzes the public opinion on the main socio-economic and political issues at the end of the fourth year of Boris Yeltsin’s presidential term, on the eve of the Duma elections in December 1995 and the presidential elections in 1996. The poll’s data show the growing discontent of the population with the state of affairs in the country, the economic crisis, their own impoverishment, and the inability of the authorities to solve the country’s main problems. At the same time, a growing number of people lost interest in politics, lost confidence the political and economic reforms will lead to the country’s revival, democratization, and the ability to choose the best people for positions of power. Two thirds of the people said that they have become worse off than at the start of radical reforms ten years ago, while the main responsibility for the plight of the people and the country lies within the current government, which had no idea where the country’s economy was going, and had no program for overcoming the crisis. 75% believed that the government lives by its own interests; they do not care about the people. Market reforms initiated by Boris Yeltsin spurred mass negative assessments: our life before the reforms was better and more prosperous; the people were deceived, they were promised market socialism, and were drawn into the construction of capitalism; reforms were based on robbing the people, only speculators, swindlers, and officials had benefited from them. Regretting the dismantling of socialism, the population had lost belief that the ideas of socialism and communism were able to unite society again. As such an idea, the majority suggested reviving Russia as a powerful state, while calling for following a special, Russian path which implies a “strong hand” in power. The majority believed that the President and the government had already exhausted their opportunities to put an end to the crisis in Russia, and that they should be replaced with new people. The assessment of the President’s performance reached its lowest point during his administration – only 6% expressed their approval and 71% disapproved. The war in Chechnya seriously harmed the President’s popularity. More than 80% expressed negative assessments on the Kremlin’s Chechnya policies.

The first Sufis in Upper Egypt appear in the historical record at the end of the Fatimid period.1 By the early Mamluk era the region’s towns and villages boasted some of the most famous and enduring personalities of medieval Egyptian Sufism. But despite their prominence in medieval Arabic sources, these Sufis have received almost no attention in studies of Sufism or in Mamluk studies more broadly. There is no monograph in a European language on Upper-Egyptian Sufism. Apart from a few studies in Arabic there are only a handful of articles on the subject.2 This state of affairs is regrettable, although perhaps not surprising given that these Sufis left very little in the way of literature or enduring social formations. The most important source for Sufism in Upper Egypt during this period is Ibn Nūª al-Qū‚ī’s (d.708/1308) al-Waªīd fī sulūk ahl al-tawªīd (‘The Unique Guide Concerning the Comportment of the People of Unity’). This text is a large compendium of diverse biographical and doctrinal material, the publication of which is a major desideratum for the study of medieval Sufism.3 And as far as I know the existence of Sufi-related manuscripts at the shrines and mosques of Upper Egypt has not been explored. Thus, other than Denis Gril’s preliminary studies, without which my work here would have been impossible, the subject of Upper-Egyptian Sufism is mostly terra incognita.

Nikolayev, the authors analyze the linguistic means and techniques used in the course of development of epidemiological situation for influencing public opinion in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia); determine the reasons and frequency of application of such techniques, the degree of persuasion of public opinion by the head of Yakutia depending on the used communication channels. The research employs the website content of the Government of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), regional news sites, and addressed messages in social networks.

It is noted that social networks are the effective communication channels, which is justified by the geographical and sociopolitical peculiarities of the region, such as large territory preservation of the elements of traditional political cultures (power of the authority, leader, direct communication with the government and a sense being protected). Linguistic manipulation allows influencing public opinion, avoiding mass disturbances, instilling the sense of security into population.

ABSTRAKKebijakan penambangan pasir besi merupakan sebuah kebijakan yang menuai konflik. Ada perbedaan kepentingan antara pemerintah dengan masyarakat. Seperti yang terjadi di Desa Bandungharjo Kabupaten Jepara. Pemerintah mewacanakan sebuah kebijakan yang menuai konflik, yaitu pembangunan area transmigrasi Ring I di lahan pesisir, tepatnya di Pesisir Desa Bandungharjo Kecamatan Donorojo. masyarakat yang menolak kebijakan kemudian membentuk sebuah kelompok, yaitu Paguyupan Petani Lahan Pantai (PPLP). Pemerintah telah mencoba untuk melakukan pendekatan dengan kelompok ini. Selain melakukan pendekatan kepada kelompok yang kontra, pemerintah juga melakukan pendekatan pada kelompok yang pro. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara serta observasi non-partisipan untuk data primer dan melalui pelacakan dokumen atau literatur pendukung untuk mendapatkan data sekunder. Kedua data ini digunakan untuk saling meng-cross cheek agar hasilnya lebih valid. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa konflik kebijakan penambangan pasir besi terjadi karena adanya perbedaan persepsi antara pemerintah dengan masyarakat atas pengelolaan tanah. pemerintah berusaha untuk memaksa masyarakat, sementara masyarakat berusaha untuk melawan pemerintah. Keadaan terebut menimbulkan konflik vertikal, antara pemerintah dengan masyarakat. Dalam perkembangannya, dinamika konflik terjadi ketika pemerintah berusaha untuk menyelesaikan konflik tersebut. Pemerintah tidak menggunakan cara yang demokratis melainkan tindak kekerasan baik fisik atau pun non fisik dilakukan pemerintah untuk meredam suara masyarakat yang kontra terhadap kebijakan. Dalam melakukan teror dan intimidasi, pemerintah juga melibatkan aktor lain seperti birokrasi maupun investor. Sementara itu, untuk kelompok yang pro, pemerintah melakukan pendekatan dengan memberikan informasi maupun sosialisai. Implikasi yang timbul kemudian adalah muncul konflik yang lebih luas, yaitu konflik antara masyarakat yang pro dan yang kontra terhadap kebijakan.Keyword:��� Pertambangan pasir, konflik sosial, dampak kebijakan, UU No. 32 Tahun 2009.ABSTRACTThe iron sand mining policy is a conflicting policy. There is a difference of interest between government and society. As happened in the Bandungharjo Village of Jepara Regency. The Government discourses a policy that reap the conflict, namely the development of transmigration area Ring I in coastal areas, precisely in the Coastal of Bandungharjo Village in Donorojo District. People who rejected the policy then formed a group, namely Paguyupan Petani Lahan Pantai (PPLP). The government has tried to approach this group. In addition to approaching the counter-group, the government also approaches pro-groups.This is qualitative research with case study method. Data collection was done by interviewing and non-participant observation for primary data and by tracking documents or supporting literature to obtain secondary data. Both of these data are used to cross-check each other to make the result more valid.This study finds that iron sand mining policy conflict occurs because of differences in perception between government and society over land management. The government try to force the people, while the public try to fight the government. This state of affairs leads to vertical conflict, between government and society. In its development, conflict dynamics occurs when the government seeks to resolve the conflict. The government does not use democratic way to solve the problems, but acts of violence, whether physical or non-physical, is carried out by the government to decrease the voice of the people who are against the policy. In conducting terror and intimidation, the government also involves other actors such as bureaucracy as well as investors. Meanwhile, for pro groups, the government approaches by providing information and socialization. The subsequent implication is that there is a wider conflict, the conflict between the pro and the counter to the policy.Keyword:��� Sand mining, social conflict, policy impact.
