Common Purpose

Corruption in the public administration of Ukraine, which is a socio-economic phenomenon, is investigated as a plurality of actions of public service officials, which is arising in the process of realization of their authorities and building relationships and connecting with abuse of political or public authority for the sake of personal gain. An analysis of the preconditions for formation and theoretical substantiation of the predictors of the state anti-corruption policy implementation is conducted. Corruption is manifested through such institutional deformations as institutional constraints, legal burdens, distortions of moral and ethical standards of officials, and tolerance of corruption by society.The main preconditions for the formation of anticorruption policy are as follows: the set of external and internal factors of the mechanisms of public and managerial activity, which is burdened by the historical legacy of the administrative-command system of the Soviet era; formation of the outlook of a civil servant, in which the common purpose of occupying a post is a phenomenon like sinecure; a feature of professional state-management activity, which is determined by the state-power authorities of individuals, which are the exclusive privilege and responsibility of officials; the existence of legal preferences that imply inequality of citizens in the access to socially useful benefits that distort understanding of the legal equality of citizens and are the basis of corruption; the presence of effective foreign experience in the implementation of anticorruption policy, based on the cooperation of government institutions with the private sector and the public, is long-term and complex.The main predictors that will become qualitative and quantitative benchmarks for changing the trend in the implementation of anti-corruption policies are reducing the proportion of actions committed to attract corruption leverage, reducing the share of the shadow economy, raising the index of perceived corruption in Ukraine for five years at least to an average of 60-65, the creation of prerequisites for absolute rejection of corruption, complete lack of tolerance to any, even minimal, manifestations of corruption.

Keynesian Economic

Bosnia and Herzegovina is in a state of long-term recession. Under these conditions, the State would have to apply the Keynesian economic policy instead of the neoclassical free market policy. This means that the State should take on the role of the main driver of economic development by increasing public spending and the fiscal consolidation. In doing so, it is very important to understand and evaluate the fiscal multipliers, as the successful application of the Keynesian policy depends exclusively on them. The aim of this paper is, after conducting an analysis of determinants and limitations of the fiscal multipliers within the conditions present in transition countries, to provide guidance on how to conduct the public spending policy, together with the monetary policy and structural reforms which would reduce the possible limitations regarding the effect of fiscal multipliers, thus increasing their impact on economic development. The analysis will be conducted on the example of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Public Sector Reforms

The public sector reforms’ programme in Kenya, has witnessed five state-owned corporations being privatised, and several more, from hotels to banks, have been scheduled to be privatised. However, many of Kenya’s state-owned corporations are in considerable debt, which reduce their value in the process of privatisation. This study attempted to determine the extent and the theory suitable for explaining debt-financing within the state-owned corporations in Kenya from 2007 to 2011. The study applied both descriptive statistics and a hybrid of cross sectional and longitudinal quantitative surveys. The results observed some level of stability on the aggregate long-term debt ratios, with minimal use of stock market instruments, which implied the application of the agency theory.

As digital technologies develop, a new form of relations between the state and the public is developing as well. Additional opportunities for the expression of public interests and the establishment of values preferred by the society arise, new mechanisms of political mobilization develop, new forms of public organization and self-organization emerge, the social media gain more power, and local and general public narrative develop on a number of online platforms. With the digitization of the public space, the state is forced to change its communication strategies and improve the dialogue between the government and the society based on deliberative democracy principles. After analysing the architecture of public communication emerging in new conditions the paper concludes that Russia is making certain efforts to adapt for the new digitized reality. However, current state priorities are shifting towards e-government and the digital economy. On the one hand, it seems justified, as it allows to bring the public services to a completely new level, reduce corruption risks, and simplify state management of economic processes. On the other hand, the lack of due attention to the issues of openness of public administration and involvement of citizens in making public decisions results in accumulation of contradictions in the public area of public administration, as well as increasing mutual misunderstanding and distrust between the state bodies and the civil society, which may entail bursts of social discontent and protests.

Using Data

The legitimacy of the state rests on individuals' perceptions of fairness when interacting with state institutions and state agents. The police as an institution and as individual agents have wide latitude to detain and use force against individuals. We argue that encounters with state bureaucracy and civil servants, specifically the police, can generate individual-level grievances against the state, and that these grievances make it more likely an individual participates in protest against the state. We study support for and the legitimacy of policing in the context of the anti-police protests in Baltimore, MD following the death of Freddie Gray in April, 2015. Using data from police records and social media, we show that individuals with higher exposure to discretionary arrests --- arrests that are potentially viewed as illegitimate or arbitrary --- are more likely to support protests against the police. In contrast, we demonstrate that exposure to arrests for major crimes such as murder does not follow the same pattern. Thus, support for the police as an institution varies systematically with exposure to arbitrary and capricious encounters with police agents. As these grievance generating encounters become more widespread, we expect to see increased protests against the police and further erosion in support of the police as an institution. Alternatively, shifting institutional resources to focus on major crimes and limiting the discretionary authority of police agents when interacting with the public may help to repair the legitimacy of policing institutions over the long term.

Natural Beauty

This chapter details how Chicago businessman Ferdinand Walther purchased Starved Rock from Daniel Hitt to turn it into a private park that included a “first class health and summer resort.” Walther's hotel opened in June of 1891. Despite the success of the venture, the improvement of the site, the satisfaction of the guests, and the positive impact on the local economy, the clamor for land to be set aside for public use continued to grow. Citizens of Illinois wanted public ownership of the site. Further, with an interest in safeguarding the natural beauty of the Rock, the public wanted to eliminate the risk of destruction that was inherent in private ownership of the land. On December 20, 1911, the property was officially transferred to the State of Illinois. The State of Illinois then used the next five months preparing to open the new state park. Starved Rock State Park was first opened under state management on May 1, 1912.

Пандемия подстегнула развитие рынка розничной электронной коммерции в Казахстане. По данным исследования PwC Kazakhstan, за год этот сегмент вырос на 93%. Целью исследования является оценка государственного управления развития электронной коммерции в Республике Казахстан. Развитие электронной коммерции вызывает неизбежные структурные изменения в экономике. Сложность регулирования цифровой среды заключается, главным образом, в ее нестатичности, постоянном развитии и изменении. Впервые объектом регулирования становятся правоотношения, связанные с реализацией прав в цифровом пространстве, использованием цифровых данных и технологий. По мнению многих юристов, изучающих эту сферу, должны, соответственно, обновляться и методы правового регулирования. Научная значимость исследования обоснована анализом развития рынка электронной коммерции в РК. Практическая значимость исследования обоснована возможностью использования материалов исследования оценке государственного управления электронной коммерцией в РК. Исследование осуществлялось в рамках доступной информации международных, государственных и общественных организаций, а также научно-практических публикаций в ведущих изданиях периодической печати и интернете. Исследование проводилось с использованием аналитических, сравнительных и оценочных методов, на основе статистических данных, по которым были сделаны следующиевыводы и предложены рекомендации: развитие логистических центров и сортировочных центров; назначение налоговых преференций и введение моратория на налоги для интернет-компаний; интеграция процессов БВУ в межбанковскую систему платежных карт; снижение комиссий по имуществу, подлежащему использованию физическими лицами. The aim of the study is to assess the state administration of e-commerce development in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The development of e-commerce is causing inevitable structural changes in the economy. The complexity of regulating the digital environment lies mainly in its instability, constant development and change. For the first time, legal relations related to the exercise of rights in the digital space, the use of digital data and technologies are becoming the subject of regulation. In the opinion of many lawyers studying this area, the methods of legal regulation should be updated accordingly. The scientific significance of the study is substantiated by an analysis of the development of the e-commerce market in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The practical significance of the research is substantiated by the possibility of using research materials to assess the state management of e-commerce in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The study was carried out within the framework of available information from international, state and public organizations, as well as scientific and practical publications in leading periodicals and the Internet. The research was carried out using analytical, comparative and evaluative methods, based on statistical data, on which appropriate conclusions were made and recommendations were made.

Abstract In this article we argue that, in order to understand the “attack” made on anthropology in Brazil, undertaken in the public sphere since the beginning of the second decade of the twenty-first century, we need to look at how anthropological knowledge has become disciplined and institutionalized in the medium to long term. We refer, in particular, to the relationship between what has been constituted as a “field of anthropology” and issues related to the public sphere. It is also necessary to consider the configuration with other institutionalized knowledge throughout the period spanning from the end of the nineteenth century to the present, with discontinuities but also with some important continuities. We look to show that the anthropology initially undertaken in Brazil was basically committed to furthering the interests of the agrarian-based political elites, a situation that continued from the turn of the nineteenth century to the twentieth century and into the first decades of the twenty-first, not only at the level of nation building, but also in the formation of the State. However, since the 1950s, and especially following creation of the new postgraduate courses in the late 1960s and early 1970s, anthropologists developed knowledge that led them to make an ethical and moral commitment to the communities with which they worked, combined with a critique of the military regime’s developmentalism and dictatorial authoritarianism. During a third moment ranging from the constituent process to the present, a portion of Brazilian anthropologists began to work directly in the recognition of rights constitutionally assigned to differentiated collectivities, generating a growing and progressive zone of friction with the hegemonic sectors at the economic-political level.

A long-term, mutually interesting relationship with the public is the goal of most of the world’s museums. The author of the article suggests that a promising form of organizing museum events are programs of a regular type, formed into thematic cycles. The study explains both theoretical grounds and practical arguments emphasizing the relevance of the application of this form of events in the practice of museums. The study was based on the experience of The National Pushkin Museum, which demonstrated the possibility of multifaceted coverage of a given topic within thematic cycles, synthesizing in one event different forms of impact on the visitor. Review of cycle-type programs of two other museums – The Pushkin Museum and The State Literature Museum, confirms the conclusions that this form of organizing events contributes to the development of the cultural and educational aspect of museum activities, an increase in the number of regular visitors, an increase in the professional motivation of museum staff, and forms a favorable image of the museum, increasing its competitiveness. The prospect of cyclical events is reflected in modern trends in society towards self-education.
