This commentary assesses the state of scholarship on law and narrative and argues for a more holistic approach to the topic. Narrative and law do not encounter each other accidentally but are ineluctably intertwined. Law is a dominant narrative form in the modern world; narrative suffuses not just testimony but all legal practice. We urge scholarship that recognizes law and narrative as part of the same socio-cultural project of making the world.

The Creation

Studies have been conducted focusing on the role of trust, integrity, and reputation on the image and reputations of Islamic charities. But, these are not the only challenges faced by contemporary Waqf. While the world outside the Waqf institutions has changed, Awqaf are stuck in centuries-old procedures and management practices. This must change for Awqaf to be up to the challenges of modern world. This work focuses on proposing a mechanism that explains how possible it is for Awqaf to improve their image given their unique features and environment. The process through which Waqf improves its relationship with stakeholders such as donors, beneficiaries, and government is as important as other aspects of Waqf operation that have been traditionally covered by scholars. The methodology followed for conducting this work is mainly literature review and critical analysis of the state of Waqf in the Muslim world. Thus, the work is a deductive analysis in Islamic economics and marketing, borrowing from Islamic and conventional fields of marketing and branding.

In the modern world, multilateral diplomacy is a significant factor of soft power, as it demonstrates commitment to global goals and international cooperation, the desire to address the interests of not only allies, but also of hostile states, and the presence of a clear vision of the world development that altogether increases the attractiveness of the state. The article analyzes the approaches to the multilateral diplomacy of the administrations of two U. S. presidents, namely of G. W. Bush and B. Obama. The study came to the conclusion that the United States mostly neglected the potential of soft power that could have been obtained in case of more active use of multilateral mechanisms. The preference was given to unilateralist actions on the world stage under the administration of G. W. Bush, and this trend was mainly preserved by B. Obama, despite his declared commitment to international obligations, although he generally managed to increase the importance of multilateral diplomacy for the United States and to improve the image of the state in the international arena.

Solving the problem of overcoming corruption is the main task of all countries of the world and Ukraine. After all, corruption is the most dangerous phenomenon in the sociopolitical life of any state. Total corruption destroys the foundations of statehood: national security; constitutional and other normative-legal bases of regulation of public life of the state. In a broad sense, the concept of "corruption" involves a complex process (phenomenon) that manifests itself in various forms of public, political and private relations. Corruption has a destructive effect on the state's economy, the functioning of public authorities and the development of the state as a whole. Today it is safe to say that no country in the world has completely overcome corruption. Finding effective means to combat corruption is a key issue for all countries of the world and for our country in particular. The issue of overcoming corruption in public procurement is becoming especially relevant in the modern world. Work to combat corruption in Ukraine should be comprehensive and requires harmonization of Ukrainian public procurement legislation, as well as further development of a program of structural reforms in the justice sector, education, e-government, economic and political spheres, but also the political will of the current Ukrainian government.

Research Specialty

The daunting objective for this chapter is to summarize issues which face the emerging specialty of psychiatric epidemiology, and to suggest broad directions for future research. Some of these have already been highlighted and we are grateful to contributing authors for providing their opinions as to the ‘state of play’, both in their own contributions and in communications solicited with respect to this chapter. Although the editorial team take responsibility for what is written here, we hope that it can be taken to reflect a wider body of opinion in this field. The issues raised are not intended to be exhaustive, although we hope that any specific omissions can be reasonably included within one or other of the broad themes identified. Psychiatric epidemiology is a relatively young research specialty. This creates both problems and opportunities. A problem is that it has ‘grown up’ heavily influenced by prevailing paradigms from other older fields—principally general epidemiology (regarding methodologies) and other areas of psychiatric research (regarding systems of classification and diagnosis). These are not automatically appropriate or helpful and may instead be a source for difficulties encountered in research. An advantage however for a young specialty is that it can perhaps more easily discard the trappings of tradition as it seeks to make its way in the world. Current issues will be considered under three broad headings. First, the need for new methodologies will be considered. Next, interfaces will be summarized both between psychiatric epidemiology and other specialties/agencies and within the specialty itself. Finally possible new directions for psychiatric epidemiology will be considered.

The Right

In the modern world protecting the right to life encounters various obstacles. Personalistic ethics encouraging attitudes pro vita is also taking the dialogue with contemporary philosophical and political currents, including those that do not accept the integral concept of man, but rather they are in favor of his reductionist vision, which in turn it lead to reduced ability to protect human rights, despite their proclamation as the rights of individuals. Appearing in this position „anthropological error”, it also leads to a reductionist vision of social structures such as family, society, nation or state. Moreover, such a vision of man and the world around him, it also determines the constitutional dimension of the state. Consequently, this leads to the creation and operation of various forms of democracy that instead create conditions for legal protection of the right to life from conception to natural death, legalize abortion and euthanasia. This is a serious contemporary threat to the right to life.

The global financial crisis has put the question to practically all countries of the world to take on the inevitable changes and take the negative consequences of the financial downturn, or to accept new revolutionary changes in all sectors of the economy and become modern competitive states, able to withstand the challenges of the modern world. Some countries have left everything as it is, others have tried to adapt to the new situation. One of these countries is Iceland. The state began structural changes many decades ago, but the crisis events of 2008 somehow accelerated this process. The post-crisis plan for the country’s exit from the financial crisis and the recovery of the economy at pre-crisis positions was adopted; subsequently, the targets were adjusted improvement of pre-crisis indicators. The essence of the plan was to make full use of the country’s natural resources for the benefit of the state, namely: tourism, geothermal energy, the fishing industry, as well as biotechnology and pharmaceuticals were to become the basic “pillars” on which the national economy was based. An intelligent approach along with original ideas has brought its positive results: over the years Iceland has become one of the leaders in Europe for a number of indicators, namely: annual tourist flow, production and export of fish, use of renewable energy sources for their own needs, life expectancy, etc. In 2018, the government of Iceland created a new state development plan aimed at consolidating the results of previous years and improving individual indicators. It was decided to pay more attention to the latest innovation processes both in the state and in the world as a whole, as well as the development and support of innovative enterprises to update all components of the Icelandic economic system. Judging by the pace of development shown by this northern country, the results from the implementation of the points of the new plan will be more than positive
