The Relationship

Since the organization of the first international feminist strikes, Argentina’s feminist movement has used the method of the assembly to produce analyses of the relationship and interconnection between sexist violence and economic violence. As part of that political process, in May 2017, the feminist movement convened a mobilization, with the slogan “We Want Ourselves Alive, Free, and Debt Free” in the doorways of the Central Bank to denounce the process of massive indebtedness of domestic economies that occurred in parallel to the taking out of debt by the state. From that moment on, a form of fighting back against financialization and the invasion of finance into increasingly more areas of the reproduction of life emerged. Today the feminist movement is questioning access to rights through debt in the struggle against the end of social security extensions (which provided important benefits to housewives and other informally employed women) and in the processes of compulsory urbanization in the peripheries of Buenos Aires. This article seeks to account for the fabric of this political process and its innovative forms of weaving together resistance against the government of finance.

Significance The bill received cross-party support in parliament, illustrating its independence from the executive, which opposes the bill. The relationship between the executive and legislative branches is complex, with constituents and the president vying for influence among lawmakers. Impacts MPs will oscillate between independence and compliance over the next twelve months. By vetoing the banking legislation, Kenyatta risks opposing a popular measure with elections looming. Banks will compromise with the government and central bank on self-regulation to avoid legislated rates.

The purpose of this study was to examine exports as a determinant of inflation in Kenya: A disaggregated econometric analysis with specific objectives of establishing the relationship between domestic exports and inflation in Kenya and determining the relationship between re - exports and inflation in Kenya. This was occasioned by inconclusive and incomprehensive analysis on the relationship between exports and inflation given mixed results and failure by scholars to disaggregate total exports into domestic exports and re-exports. Correlation research design was employed using monthly time series obtained from Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) data spanning 132 months from January 2005 to December 2015.Vector Autoregressive (VAR) techniques of cointegration, Granger causality and impulse response analysis were employed. Results indicated a significant positive and negative long run relationship between domestic exports and re- exports with inflation in Kenya respectively that were supported by the impulse response analysis. A unidirectional causality running from domestic exports to inflation and re-exports to inflation was also established. The study concluded that domestic exports and re-exports determine inflation in Kenya with domestic exports having greater influence and therefore recommended that the government of Kenya needs to advocate for a trade policy that aims at reducing exports of domestically produced products and increase re-exports. This will ensure that only surplus is exported to reduce shortage of domestically produced commodities hence a reduction in price for the products.

Central bank independence (CBI) and fixed exchange rates are alternative monetary commitments that differ in transparency. While CBI is opaque and difficult to monitor, a commitment to a fixed exchange rate is easily observed. Political systems also vary in terms of transparency. I argue that the transparency of monetary commitments and the transparency of political systems are substitutes. Where political decision making is opaque (autocracies), governments must look to a commitment that is more transparent and constrained (fixed exchange rates) than the government itself. The transparency of the monetary commitment substitutes for the transparency of the political system to engender low inflation. Where the political process is transparent (democracies), a formal commitment to CBI can produce lower inflation because private agents and the political opposition are free to detect and punish government interference with the central bank. Statistical results indicate that (1) autocracies are more likely to adopt exchange-rate pegs than democracies, and (2) CBI is effective in limiting inflation in nations with high levels of political transparency.

RESUMEN: En el artículo se exponen los resultados preliminares de un estudio que analiza tres consejos asesores del gobierno de Michelle Bachelet (2006-2010) en Chile. Estos consejos tenían el mandato de formular políticas públicas en temas centrales del programa de gobierno: previsión, políticas de infancia y educación. Además, tenían el mandato de ser consejos que contaran con una amplia participación ciudadana. Desde el discurso político del gobierno estos consejos se presentaron como parte de una nueva práctica del ejercicio del poder político estatal para abrir espacios de participación ciudadana directa en el proceso de políticas públicas. El artículo argumenta (a) que en la práctica dichos mecanismos no operaron como foros participativos, sino como consejos de expertos con acotada amplitud ideológica (2 casos); y (b) que estas instancias presentan una relación Estado-sociedad vertical en el proceso de políticas públicas.ABSTRACT: This article presents the preliminary results of a study about three advisory boards appointed by Michelle Bachelet’s government (2006-2010) in Chile. Those boards were commanded to elaborate public policy proposals in key areas of her government plan: pension system, infant policies and education. The commissions were intended to include a broad participation of citizens. The political discourse of the government presented them as part of a new form to exercise political power by the State by opening spaces for direct citizen participation in policy making processes. The article argues that (a) those mechanisms did not function as participatory forums but as expert advisory boards with a narrow ideological scope (2 cases); and (b)that in terms of the relationship between State and society, these mechanisms produce a vertical relationship in the political process.

The Social Security Administrator (BPJS) as an independent public legal entity has its legal position and authority. Because of the regulation issued by the Ministry of Health, the independence of BPJS is interfered with. The relationship that has not been well organized and elegant between BPJS and the Ministry of Health has caused many program problems in the field. Therefore, we need to figure out where the position of BPJS is as a state institution with a public legal entity. The BPJS forms the basis of the Welfare State, through which the government carries out its role of providing basic citizens’ rights to life. Based on Article 28 H and 34 of the 1945 Constitution, the National Social Security System (SJSN) law was established. The Social Security Administrator for Health (BPJS Kesehatan), a legal entity established by the law to administer social security programs, was then formed. Based on those bases, the relationship between BPJS of Health and the Ministry of Health is functional so that the BPJS as a state institution responsible to the President has complete independence. Keywords: Social Security Administrator for Health; Public Legal Entity; Legal Position.

The Relationship

The article examines the relationship between Western Russianism (Zapadnorusizm) and Byelorussian nationalism. Byelorussian nationalism is much younger than Western Russianism, finally shaping only in the end of the 19th century. Before 1917 revolution Byelorussian nationalism could not compete with Western Russianism. The national policy of the Bolsheviks contributed to the decline of Western Russianism and helped Byelorussian nationalism to gain stronger positions. However, Byelorussian nationalists actively cooperated with the occupation authorities during the Great Patriotic war. That caused distinctly negative attitude of Byelorussians towards the movement and collaborators. Currently, Byelorussian nationalism is supported both by the opposition and by the government. Western Russianism has no political representation, but is supported by the majority of Byelorussian population.
