Political Security

The aim of the article is to carry out the theoretical and legal analysis of key features of general philosophical and special legal understanding and interpretation of human, social and state security problems in the history of political and legal scholars of ancient times, in particular on the basis of scientific research of ancient Greek authors, opinions of that period, against the background of widespread collective ideas about security as a state of social relations, the condition of human (social) life and/or a kind of social value, objects (spheres) of this security, as well as subjects and regulatory mechanisms to ensure the appropriate state of society and the state. It is shown, that the ancient Greek political and legal thought demonstrates a wide panorama of original views on the formation, development, functioning and guarantee of public and personal, internal and external, military and international, political and economic security in the context of political and legal concepts that reflect complex dialectics. and the interaction of the individual, society, law and the state. It has been found, that the ancient Greek political and legal thought raises questions about the essence of public security. The matter of public security is an essential function of the state, which is realized by it both in the external sphere (military and foreign political security) and within the country (internal or domestic political security). Developed at the theoretical and philosophical level, the idea of good governance (Democritus, Plato, Aristotle, Polybius) is the idea of guaranteeing its security: bad governance - the key to the decline and collapse of the state, the death of its citizens. The philosophical concepts of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle are the most fundamental for the further development of political and legal models of public security

Dialectical Tension

Politocratic communitarianism supports the historic revival of ancient Greek notions of social life in opposition to the nominalist trends in modernistic philosophy of society. The need for a penetrating normative philosophy of society from an integral non-dualistic angle to social life is manifest from Danie Goosen's and Koos Malan's pursuit of the neo-Aristotelian philosophical revival of the Greek polis: their formalistic approach to sociology, the dialectical tension between "normativity" and "factuality", and the juxtaposing of the "general" and the "specific" in their approach to social phenomena. In this article the shortcomings of politocratic communitarianism are traced to its immanentist approach to social theory with all the ensuing dialectical tensions emanating from its social philosophy and its views on the role of the state in society.

AbstractIn 1991, barricades in the streets of Rīga, Latvia, shielded important landmarks from Soviet military units looking to prevent the dissolution of the USSR; in 2006, barricades in the streets of Oaxaca, Mexico, defended members of the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca from paramilitary incursions. We employ these two cases to compare the historically specific public socialities and politics formed through spatial and material practices in moments of crisis and in their aftermath. We show how the barricades continue to animate social and political formations and imaginaries, providing a sense of both past solidarity and future possibilities against which the present, including the state of the polity and the life of the people, are assessed. We trace the convergences and differences of political imaginaries of barricade sociality that formed in the barricades’ aftermath and consider what their transformative potential might be. Attentive to the specificity of particular practices and social relations that produce a collective subject, we consider how our case studies might inform broader questions about social collectives like the nation and publics. Though they point in different directions, we argue that the barricades provide an enabling position from which to imagine and organize collective life otherwise. In a moment when much mainstream political activism remains spellbound by the allure of discourses of democracy that promise power to the people, the Mexico and Latvia cases provide examples of social life that exceeded both state-based notions of collectives and what Michael Warner has called “state-based thinking,” even as they were also entangled with state-based frames.

Soviet Legacy

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Belarus began to develop a national system of education trying to balance the prioritization of Soviet legacy, strong state control, and processes of democratization. The system of education is a powerful translator of dominant ideologies and legitimate concepts, including the concepts of gender and sexuality. The Belarusian education system is an important component of the state machinery, meaning that changes in the education system are often interconnected with certain changes in public policy, and therefore reflect the official position related to various aspects of social life. In the article, I explore the application of gender education in Belarus, as well as the configuration of discourses that inform the concept of gender education in a specific local context. I analyze discourses of state legislation on education and textbooks on gender education. I argue that gender education was co-opted by the state to serve the interests of national security to legitimize one model of social relations and exclude others in favor of the interests of biopolitical governance, nation-building, and neoliberal ideology.

The paper identifies the components of Ukraine’s security in the spheres of its life: politics, economics, the military, etc. In the modern world, the driving force of the economy is qualitatively new knowledge, so the structure of the economy as innovative can be reduced to the following formula: general economy = economics of science + scientific and technological economics + economics of material production. Economics, in our opinion, can be schematically represented as follows: economics of science (information => information resources => innovation => qualitatively new knowledge => intellectual resources), scientific and technological economics and economics of material production. That is, the security of the state depends primarily on its political component to ensure the economic security of society. Political security is a qualitative state of the political system of society, which should be determined by law. Economic security — reliable protection of national and state interests in the economy from real and potential internal and external threats, and in the first place — direct and indirect economic losses. The security of the state as a system of political power in Ukraine depends on its political, economic, scientific and scientific-technological components, which are the foundation of Ukraine’s innovation policy. Key words: politics, political science, national security and mechanisms of its provision, political security, national security and mechanisms of its provision, indicators of political security, threats to political security, internal political security of the state, challenges to internal political security, external political security of the state, political economy, political economy, science and information, the concept of economic security, the competence of state bodies in ensuring state security.

The article analyzes the problem of using digital technologies and the online space within the framework of labor law, based not only existing regulatory legal acts but also legislative drafts in the field of the digitalization of labor relations. Therewithal, the purpose of the study is to generalize current and future Russian legislation, to manifest the contradictions and gaps in the legislation, to evaluate laws and regulations from a practical point of view, and to elaborate proposals for their improvement. For this purpose, the authors take into account the existing experience gained in the course of experiments on the introduction of electronic document management by individual employers. The achievement of the research goals is ensured by the use of the formal legal method. First of all, the article draws attention to the tendency of expanding the differentiation of the labor regulation, caused by many factors, including the informatization of all social relations. It is concluded that the transition to an innovative, socially-oriented economy is impossible without a flexible labor market with new areas of employment, including employment through the use of information technology resources. Analyzing the practical aspects of electronic workflow, the article covers the theoretical aspect of the existence of the so-called “information legal relationship” in the subject of labor law. The analysis of the legislative drafts and the current legislation focuses on controversial wording and emphasizes that their incorrectness creates high risks of labor disputes. The authors insist that when introducing an electronic workflow, the parties should be provided with an alternative to the actions. The authors defend the view that it is necessary to clarify the scope of information transmitted by the employer to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation when maintaining electronic employment record books with regard to the inclusion of information about employee awards in them. They also propose determining the procedures of the formation of human resources services in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. As a final point, it is concluded that all the proposed initiatives are aimed at ensuring the tasks of the state for the introduction of digital technologies in all areas of social life, including in labor relations, and, ultimately, at achieving the optimal balance between the interests of the parties of the labor relations and the interests of the state, which is the main goal of labor legislation.

<p>Conservatives in Galicia during the Austro-Hungarian monarchy exerted an overwhelming influence on political and social life. Among the conservative groups and parties, there were the so-called Podolaks, to which Wojciech Dzieduszycki belonged, writer, politician and philosopher. He wrote about the genesis and concept of law, the functions of the state and the scope of state power. He spoke against the law that regulates all manifestations of human life, because social relations are also regulated by moral and religious norms. Dzieduszycki was critical of socialism and all excessive forms of state intervention because he was against excessive state power. Based on Dzieduszycki’s reflections on the state and law, it can be concluded that he was an advocate of evolutionary conservatism.</p>
