Introduction: the involvement of the citizens’ associations in solving the problems of preventing extremism among young people should become an important trend in the development of partnership relations between the state and civil society. In the context of the problematics, the issues related to increasing the level of legal socialization of Russian youth are of no small importance. The purpose of the study: to characterize the activities of the state and citizens’ associations to prevent extremism among young people in the context of legal socialization. The research objectives: to assess the joint activities of the state and civil institutions engaged in the prevention of extremism among young people in the context of legal socialization; to identify the problems of legal socialization of Russian youth and suggest the ways to solve them; to justify the productivity of network crowdsourcing technologies in the joint activities of the state and civil society in the context of prevention of youth extremism. The methodological framework for this research is represented by a system of methods of scientific knowledge, which should include: general scientific, systemic, institutional and sociological methods. Results: in order to combat the manifestations of extremism among young people and successfully socialize young citizens, a complex systematic work of the state and civil society is necessary, which objectively requires the implementation of certain technologies, such as network crowdsourcing. In the paper, when determining the efficiency of this technology, the projects “Cyberdruzhina”, “MediaGuard” and “STOPTERROR” were evaluated. Conclusions: it is revealed that the network crowdsourcing technologies act as an optimal mechanism for supporting the system of prevention of youth extremism. Their widespread introduction into the Russian social space can “socialize” the system of preventing extremism among young people, provided that its most important subjects are not only the state structures, but also the constructive associations of citizens.

ABSTRACTIn Senegal, neighbourhood football teams are more popular than teams in the national football league. The so-called navétanes teams were first created in the 1950s. Since the early 1970s, they have competed in local, regional and national neighbourhood championships. This article considers the history of these clubs and their championships by focusing on the city of Dakar and its fast-growing suburbs, Pikine and Guédiawaye. Research on the navétanes allows an exploration of the social and cultural history of the neighbourhoods from the actor-centred perspective of urban youth. The history of the navétanes reflects the complex interrelations between young people, the city and the state. The performative act of football – on and beyond the pitch, by players, fans and organizers – constitutes the neighbourhood as a social space in a context where the state fails to provide sufficient infrastructure and is often contested. The navétanes clubs and championships demonstrate how young people have experienced and imagined their neighbourhoods in different local-level ways, while at the same time interconnecting them with other social spaces, such as the ‘city’, the ‘nation’ and ‘the world’.

The Relationship

In the context of the formation of civil society in modern Russia with the traditionally significant role of the state, the problem of studying the inclusion of young people in a particular model of the relationship between these two institutions is of particular relevance. This choice will determine a certain type of political system in Russia in the future. The purpose of the study is to identify empirically groups of young people who are determined by the direction of value orientations in public life and their involvement in various models of interaction between the state and civil society. The empirical basis of the study was a project conducted in 2019 by Saint Petersburg State University and Altai State University to study the political consciousness of Russian youth. As a result of using multidimensional methods of analysis, the connection between the involvement of the citizen-state models and the types of value orientations of Russian youth is revealed. Four groups of young people were obtained, stratified by value orientations, the specifics of relations between the state and citizens of our country, and the choice of the preferred type of state to live in.

This comparative study focuses on how civil society structures influence youth from a Muslim background in their upward mobility and local belonging (to the neighbourhood and to the city). Under comparison are one banlieue in Paris and one barrio in Madrid, similar in terms of social precarity and yet different in their degree of ethnic and religious diversity, their connection to the city centre, the state funding they receive and their civic participation. In the case of the neighbourhood of San Cristóbal (Madrid), a lack of state investment has resulted in a diminished capacity for civil society to connect young people to new opportunities. However, their daily contact with the city centre, the ethnic diversity in the neighbourhood and collaborative efforts between secular and religious structures work together to foster a sense of mixed belonging among young Spanish Muslims. In contrast, significant investment by the State in the suburb of Les Bosquets (Paris) since the riots in 2005 have indeed linked young people to new opportunities, but at the cost of an institutionalisation of civil society structures. In Les Bosquets, increased ethnic segregation, geographical isolation, and the estrangement of religious and ‘laic’ (i.e. secular) organisations are all responsible for the new sense of malaise felt by youths, thus severely affecting their sense of belonging.

The purpose of this article is to present a comprehensive study and analysis of existing scientific approaches to the study of corruption as a social phenomenon, as well as to develop certain recommendations for preventing and combating corruption manifestations. The methodological basis of this work is formed by both general scientific and special legal methods of cognition. The presented scientific approaches to the study of corruption as a social phenomenon made it possible to develop an author’s justified position based on the existing achievements of the research community in the nature and essence of corruption. Based on domestic and foreign sources, the research allowed us to analyze the main issues of studying corruption as a social phenomenon, to identify a number of factors that are prerequisites for the emergence and development of corruption manifestations in society, as well as to develop a number of measures, which will help to combat corruption. The process of eradicating corruption is possible only through the joint work of the state, society, various civil society institutions and, ultimately, every citizen, who is responsible for his/her own actions and takes an active part in the anti-corruption policy of the state.

Protection Of Human Rights

The article examines the evolution of the constitutional and legal regulation of human rights in Ukraine in the context of the development of political systems - from the Marxist-Leninist type to the free European one. It is emphasized that, despite the positivist position on the interpretation of human rights, the ideologues of the modern state interpret it and law, as well as other social phenomena, through the prism of new idealistic concepts. In their opinion, the legal act synthesizes the state will, which is reflected in the legal norm and is obligatory for the competent body applying this norm. Subjective right of a person is interpreted as a measure of possible behavior, devoid of class features. It is emphasized that the Constitution of Ukraine declares the highest social value of a person for his life and health, honor and dignity, inviolability and security. It is stressed that the establishment and protection of human rights and freedoms is the main duty of the state. Thus, according to the constitutional norms, the state is not a passive observer of the realization of the rights and freedoms of citizens, but an active participant in their protection. The existence of state control over the observance and protection of individual rights and freedoms (activities of the state apparatus in the field of protection of rights) and public (control over the redistribution of social space between the state and civil society, coverage of problems between the state and citizens; control over the responsibility of the constitutional state before civil society) is examined. Emphasis is placed on the unity between state and public control over the implementation of social tasks, the effectiveness of social policy and, consequently, the effective protection of the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the individual. It is stressed that the shortcomings of law enforcement practice, insufficient protection of individual rights by the state arise for a number of objective reasons.The annual reports of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Commissioner for Human Rights on the observance and protection of the human rights and freedoms of citizens of Ukraine are based on these phenomena. The documents show shortcomings in the protection of all categories of rights and freedoms by public authorities. The author emphasizes that an important factor in the effective functioning of the rule of law is the filling of state-power relations with real legal mechanisms. Real protection of human rights and freedoms is possible if all levels of public power are involved in improving the constitutional order. The number of reforms should be combined with their quality content.

AbstractIn this article, we consider the inclusion of children and young people in participatory governance processes. Whilst limitations are often evident in such processes, we argue that even participatory opportunities that are provided by the state and regarded as spaces into which citizens are invited can be "conquered by civil society demands for inclusion" (Cornwall and Coelho, 2006: 1). To this end, we suggest a practice-based and diachronic approach to studying the interactions between participatory structures and children and young people's agency. Being attentive to the agency of children and young people, and adopting a more diachronic approach to evaluating participatory initiatives, point to the possibility, we suggest, of seeing these relationships unfold in sometimes unexpected ways.
