During the years of independence, Ukraine has undergone certain processes that have led tochanges in the relationship between government and society. These changes were not alwayspositive. State power had a high level of authority in the eyes of the Ukrainian people. The majorityof the population does not believe in the objectivity of the results of the people’s will, which, infact, stimulates interest and shows the importance of public control over the election process.The purpose of the article – is to study the correlation of the state and public control over thesuffrage of Ukraine and its influence on the formation and development of civil society.The methodological basis of the study were general scientific and special legal methods ofcognition. Among the general scientific methods used is the method of philosophical dialectics,which is revealed through the methods of analysis and synthesis, ascent from simple to complex,from abstract to concrete, modeling, abstraction, idealization and formalization.Despite the expansion of opportunities to influence the future of the country through the free willof the people, the importance and effectiveness of public control faces a number of obstacles. Forexample, the presence of underdeveloped civil society, the lack of a prescribed mechanism for publiccontrol, political indifference of citizens, the negative impact of bureaucratic manifestations – allthis and many other factors together have a negative impact on the development of civil societyand effective control for the election process. But a rather significant shortcoming in the way ofits development is the lack of scientific research on this issue.As a result of the research, it was found that through election procedures it is possible to bestbalance and reconcile the interests of political elites, social classes, groups of the whole society,to bring the government closer to the needs of the people. The public sector plays a positive role in the processes of stabilization and harmonization of relations in society and the electoral processin particular. Public control as a social phenomenon is impossible without the formation of afavorable environment for its full and effective functioning, ie without a developed civil society.The article concludes that election control can be effective only when it is carried out by anindependent third party, in our case – civil society in relation to public authorities and localgovernments, which are directly involved in ensuring the preparation and conduct of the electionprocess. Many years of international and national experience clearly show that the lack or lowlevel of public control over the electoral process and excessive state control ultimately lead tousurpation of power and falsification of election results.

This article analyses two cases of populist mobilisation – namely, one against a primary school entry-age reform and another against WHO sexuality education and the concept of gender – that took place in Poland between 2008 and 2019. Both campaigns had a populist character and were oriented towards restoring social justice taken away from ‘the people’ by a morally corrupted ‘elite’. There are differences between the cases that can be analytically delineated by assessing whether a religious mobilisation has an overt or a covert character. While the series of protests against the school-age reform represents a case of mobilisation with covert religious symbolism, the campaigns against sexuality education and the use of the concept of gender are characterised by overt religious populism. To characterise the dynamics of the two campaigns, the study uses the concept of a moral panic, emphasising the importance of moral entrepreneurs waging ideological war against the government and/or liberal experts conceived of as ‘folk devils’.

Citizen participation on any level of government is timeless. The dynamics and the relationships of citizen participation on all levels are unique, due to the fact that many problems and solutions have their roots in the activities of local government and its administration. Furthermore the extension of democracy to all spheres of society and to all tiers of the administrative hierarchy, have been a central theme of the democratisation process in South Africa. The notion of "bringing the government to the people" is important, not only in strengthening civil society, but also in mobilising the population to implement the programmes of reconstruction and development necessary to transform the civil society.

In a democratic nation, local government is the government of the people, by the people and for the people at the grassroots levels. That is, the government nearest or closest to the people. It is at the level of local government that community action in respect of community development programmes is most effective; it is also the level where democratic processes and decision-making by consensus are traditionally entrenched; where rivalries and tensions are reduced to a minimum; where local resources and patriotism are easily called to the service of the community; and, very importantly, where the people are normally confident of effective control of their own government.

The state has a central place in the political system. Through its structure and positioning the country has the strength to be a unifier of society against its overall division of the various classes and layers, ethnic, cultural and other groups. The legitimacy of all these processes is given by laws that determine the trajectory of all processes and the conditions under which the processes take place. The state, by adopting the highest legal acts such as: the constitution and the laws, achieves one of its most important functions, which is the management of society. The state directs society to promote development, but also punishes and sanction infringements and mistakes. Depending on who exercises power in the state, i.e. whether it belongs to the people, to an individual or to a powerful group, the political system can be determined. The political system in itself includes the overall state relations, the relations in society and the guidelines for the conduct of the policy of the state. A state in which the government is elected by the people through direct elections certainly fulfills the basic requirement for the development of a stable civil society. The political system is one of the sub-systems of the entire civil society. The political system is specific in that all the activities and relations of which it is composed are directed to the state and its functions. The structure of the political system is composed of political and legal norms, political knowledge, political culture and political structure. These elements confirm the strong relationship between the state, the law and the political system. Developed democratic societies can talk about a developed political system that abounds with political culture and democracy. It is the aspiration of our life. Investing in democratic societies we invest in the future of our children. If we separate the subjects of the political system, we will determine that the people are the basis of the political system. All competencies intertwine around people. Political systems are largely dependent not only on the political processes that take place in them every day, but also on the economic performance and the economic power of the states. Economic stagnation or regression in some countries often threatens democracy and its values. We often forget that we cannot speak of the existence of a functioning and well-organized democratic political system without its strong economic support. In conditions of globalization, it is necessary to pay special attention to international positions as the main factor of the political system, for the simple reason that the functions of the state in this process are increasingly narrowing.

Great Danger

The human species is in great danger of extinction due to the novel coronavirus that was first detected in China around December 2019. By March 2021, the world had witnessed over 116million cases, of which 36,223 are Zimbabwean. The disease that the coronavirus stimulates is quite fatal and has seen 2.57million lives succumbing to it, of which 1483 are Zimbabwean, by the same date. No cure has been discovered for it yet, though scientific researchers have already discovered several vaccines with varying efficacies. Employing a socio-pragmatic approach, the chapter explores the impact of fake covid-19 social media communications on efforts to minimize infections and fatalities in Zimbabwe, an already endangered country. It accomplishes this by qualitatively analyzing purposively sampled fake communications in circulation on social media as well as some of the utterances and behaviors people make in response to them. The chapter demonstrates the negative impact of the communications on international mitigating efforts and emphasizes the need for the government, media practitioners and social workers to always be watchful for such misleading communications and in every case to quickly counter their impact by availing correct information to the people.

The Welfare State

This paper proposed an analytical study and investigation about State-owned enterprises (SOEs) privatization policy against welfare state perspective. Other than having an economic impact it also led to a constitutional polemic in Indonesia. So far, privatization of SOEs is considered as the best solution for SOEs to be more productive and efficient when handled by the private sector rather than controlled and managed by the state. However, the negative impact of privatization is not least disadvantageous for the state especially to the people where there are no guarantees and legitimacy from the state responsibility when SOEs has already profit oriented. This research would like to find a new concept of privatization of SOEs in accordance with the welfare state perspective. This research used a normative juridical legal research method. This method was chosen because the object was of norms and doctrines and legal principles related to the title of this research. The Author believes, Privatization has changed the social welfare schemes at as well as distorted the role and responsibilities of the state in realizing common prosperity. The conclusion is the Government should to review all regulations concerning the SOEs privatization and revoke regulations that are contrary to the welfare state principle in Indonesia.

Regional Elections

Political parties are official organizations created by people who have interests and goals to control the government, by placing their members in the government through an election mechanism. The election process is inseparable from political parties, because political parties can channel the aspirations of the people, where the people can participate in it and have a strong influence on the election. The main function of political parties is to seek power, gain power and maintain it. In the 2017 Musi Banyuasin Local Election, the pairs of Dodi Reza and Beni Hernedi were carried out by 11 (eleven) political parties namely PDIP, Golkar, Democrat, Hanura, Nasdem, and PKB. As the party supporting the pair Dodi Reza and Beni Hernedi in the 2017 Musi Banyuasin Regional Election, political parties should fight in giving victory to the candidate pair that they carry by carrying out the functions of political parties as well as possible. Issues that will be discussed in this study include how the function of political parties in winning sub-regional elections and how the functions of political parties supporting the pair Dodi Reza and Beni Hernedi are assessed from the results of votes in the 2017 Musi Banyuasin Regional Election.This type of research is field research, while the type of research is qualitative, where the research procedure produces a description, which describes and describes matters relating to the problem of the function of political parties. The rationale that the researchers used in this study is the framework of thinking from Miriam Budiardjo to explain the function of political parties. The results of this study indicate that the function of political parties carried out by the party supporting the pair Dodi Reza and Beni Hernedi has not run optimally, this is evident from the high level of abstentions in the Musi Banyuasin elections in 2017.
