The COVID-19 pandemic and the crisis that has affected all parts of the world, all industries and business processes, have significantly changed the usual way of life, introduced society to the ‘new normal’ and imposed the need for crisis management. Many organizations and countries were not ready for the crisis and consequently are suffering great consequences. The aim of this paper is to analyze how Croatia responded to this crisis from the aspect of the existing normative framework for crisis management and the operational solutions in practice, as well as to explore the role of the Government of the Republic of Croatia and its leaders in strategic decision making and interpretation of the crisis, and the extent to which homeland security and civil protection systems were put in function in managing the crisis. As an additional aim, the paper intends to mark a certain number of contradictions, controversies and paradoxes that arose during the crisis, as well as certain observations that can serve for further analysis and elements in the lessons learned process.

Resumen: El propósito de este estudio es reflexionar acerca de las distintas concepciones que del coraje y sus funciones han tenido algunas escuelas de la Antigüedad en el marco de una política entendida como gobierno de las pasiones. En este artículo se compara la perspectiva de Platón con el enfoque del cinismo. En la primera sección, se analiza el papel de la educación musical en la República . Dicha educación, según Platón, fomenta el verdadero coraje entre los guardianes y evita su brutalidad. En la segunda sección, se consideran las diferencias entre el platonismo y el cinismo. Éste último presentó una nueva manera de entender el coraje, como un modo de vida que no requiere ningún tipo de pedagogía musical, sino un entrenamiento constante para superar la vergüenza. Además, el coraje, para el cínico, no es la virtud específica de una clase del estado, la de los guardianes, sino que es un modo de vida que cualquier individuo puede adoptar aplicando una terapia correctora.Palabras clave: Platón, cinismo, coraje, música, vergüenza.Abstract: The following paper compares Plato’s proposal with the approach of cynicism concerning the virtue of courage. The first section studies role of musical education in the Republic, which contributes to foster real courage among the guardians and avoids brutality. The second section exposes the differences between Platonism and Cynicism. The latter presented a new way of understanding courage, as a way of life, which does not require a musical pedagogy, but training in overcoming shame. Courage, according to the Cynics, is not the specific virtue of a class but is a way of life that any individual can adopt.Keywords: Plato, Cynicism, courage, music, shame.

<p>Radicalism has become a real threat faced by all countries in the world, including Indonesia. This condition occurs because radicalism is the origin ideology of terrorism which has been confirmed as an extraordinary crime for the world. So, the Indonesian government needs to pay special attention to counter the radicalism issue which is now growing rapidly in Indonesia. This article was written to analyze the Government, the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), and the Indonesian National Police (Polri) roles in countering radicalism issues in Indonesia through good governance concept. This article is written based on the result of phenomenology research used literature study approach of various literature that is relevant to the research topic. Based on the study, the results show that the countering process of radicalism issues conducted by the government of the Republic of Indonesia has not been well managed, because there is no strong legal basis concerning radicalism in Indonesia. Additionally, the weak synergy between the TNI and the Polri, which is tasked to countering radicalism issues, is also become an obstacle for eradicate radicalism issues in Indonesia. Therefore, optimizing the role of the Government, TNI, and Polri are needed by prevention, mapping, detention, and contra radicalism actions. On the other hand, those three parties must strengthen their synergy and cooperative in performed their roles in maintaining public security and national security from the dangers of radicalism.</p>

Historical analogies can help us contextualize new technical developments with social, cultural, and political forces at work. The late Joseon Dynasty period of Korea (1639–1910), a closed economy with detailed written records, provides a rare opportunity to examine a social-ecological system (SES) responding to drivers of change over a long period of time. Based on historical records and reconstructed data, we aim to: (1) characterize how the expansion of human technology, Ondol (traditional underfloor heating system), affected different subsystems and their interactions within the SES over time, (2) examine the role of the government in promoting the technology and regulating its impacts, and (3) summarize the pertinent lessons learned from old Korea for governing a modern-day bioeconomy. Ondol allows various forest biomass to be utilized as household fuel, including fuelwood, forest litter, and grass scraped from forest floor. Continuous biomass harvesting over 250 years to feed Ondol contributed to forest degradation and the forest ecosystem condition trapped in the early successional stage in the Korean Peninsula. The ecological changes were exacerbated by the Pine Policy with a singular focus on reserving Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora Siebold and Zucc.) for government uses. The policy failed to recognize basic needs of the public while countenancing an expansion of Ondol and a cultural preference for heated floors that propagated an increased use of biomass fuel. This case illustrates the importance of recognizing potential technology traps where a human innovation opened opportunities for more resource use. The lessons learned from old Korea show that bioeconomy transitions would require multifaceted governance responses while being cautious about being too closely tied to the dominant national agenda. Environmental history has much to offer for understanding the social and ecological systemic risks of the current technical developments. We call for more historical analogs from different parts of the world to “move forward by looking back”.

The President of the Republic of Indonesia has established the status of a health emergency in the Presidential Decree 11 of 2020, as well as stated in Presidential Decree 12 of 2020 that non-natural disasters caused by COVID-19 as a national disaster. The consequence is the birth of the role of the government through legal instruments and actions to control the community, so it is important to build legal awareness. In this case teachers have the authority to form a Learning Implementation Plan (RPP) applied to students, then this legal research aims to know the authority of teachers of Pancasila education and citizenship (PPKn) junior high school (SMP) in drafting RPP to build legal awareness during the covid-19 pandemic. The method used is Statute Approach, which is based on the legislation on the authority of teachers and related to the status of health emergencies and non-natural disasters. The results showed that PPKN teachers have the authority to develop RPP that builds legal awareness for students, especially with regard to the control exercised by the government during the pandemic.

This paper analyzes the problem of technological backwardness of economy. In many mostly developing countries their economies use obsolete technologies. This can create the illusion that this or that business is prosperous. At the level of international competition, however, it is obvious that these types of firms do not have any chance for success. Retroeconomics as a theory of technological backwardness and its detrimental effect upon a country’s economy is considered in the paper. The role of the government is very important for overcoming the effects of retroeconomy. The phenomenon of retroeconomy is already quite deep-rooted throughout the world and it is essential to consolidate the attention of economists and politicians on this threat.

Planning Authority

This paper examines the tension between centralizing and decentralizing forces in systems of land use planning. Its thesis, drawn from the LaHaye Report, is that the degree of centralization of the system is directly proportional to the breadth of jurisdiction of the planning authority. While Quebec's system of land use planning is reputed to be decentralized and political, the author questions whether this assessment is correct. The role of the government under the Land Use Planning and Development Act and other specialized legislation is more in accordance with the centralized and technocratic systems advocated in earlier Quebec proposals for land use planning. This conclusion is reinforced by a consideration of the suggestions put forward in Le Choix des régions and their present-day application.

This chapter assesses China’s science and technology (S&T) progress through the lens of the patenting literature in the context of China. In particular, after presenting an overview of China’s patent production over the past twenty-five years, it investigates the following questions: What accounts for China’s patent surge? What are the implications of the surge for patent quality? Does the nature of the patenting reveal China’s S&T direction and comparative advantage? How has the international sector affected China’s patent production? What has been the role of the government—the central, provincial, and local governments—in shaping patent production? And finally, how heterogeneous is China’s regional patent production; are patenting capabilities diffusing across China?
