Institutional Mechanism

This chapter examines how a guild got privileges over particular economic activities. Though guilds are sometimes called private-order institutions, in practice they were recognized by the public authorities. They enjoyed legal entitlements and coercive power, in return for which they channelled favours to political elites, so much so that the French controller-general described guild affairs in 1776 as “one of the most abundant sources of profits for the people of the Palace.” Guilds thus provide an excellent context for investigating how social networks deploy social capital to shape government action. Guilds gave people practising a particular occupation an institutional mechanism enabling them to exercise more effective political pressure than they could by acting independently as individuals.

The Impact

The Right to Information Act 2005 was passed by the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) Government with a sense of pride. It flaunted the Act as a milestone in India’s democratic journey. It is five years since the RTI was passed; the performance on the implementation frontis far from perfect. Consequently, the impact on the attitude, mindset and behaviour patterns of the public authorities and the people is not as it was expected to be. Most of the people are still not aware of their newly acquired power. Among those who are aware, a major chunk either does not know how to wield it or lacks the guts and gumption to invoke the RTI. A little more stimulation by the Government, NGOs and other enlightened and empowered citizens can augment the benefits of this Act manifold. RTI will help not only in mitigating corruption in public life but also in alleviating poverty- the two monstrous maladies of India.

The article is devoted to the study of the need to develop and implement on the territory of the Krasnodar Territory a project of a standard electronic platform for monitoring public opinion on health issues in the municipality. The authors substantiate the position that the powers delegated by the people to the public authorities need constant control by the public. Without public control, there is a risk of appropriation of power, usurpation of power by individual state authorities and their officials. The mechanism of feedback between the authorities and the people, one of the elements of which is the monitoring of public opinion, plays an important role in the implementation of the constitutional principle of democracy. At the same time, it is important to monitor public opinion on local issues at the municipal level, since these issues affect the vast majority of the country's population. A significant segment of local issues is somehow related to the organization and functioning of health care institutions and the provision of medical services to the population. In this regard, it seems necessary to develop and implement in the territory of the Krasnodar Territory a project of a standard electronic platform for monitoring public opinion on health issues in the municipality. The article analyzes the goals and objectives of this project, examines the main problems associated with its formation and implementation, justifies the main stages of project preparation, as well as a list of measures to improve regional legislation that will contribute to the implementation of this project. The paper uses a number of methods of scientific research, in particular: the methods of induction; deduction; classification; statistical; sociological; comparative-legal; historical; formal-logical.

Protection Of Life

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the public authorities to undertake numerous actions to counteract the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Protection of life and health has required the introduction of legally effective mechanisms that interfered with constitutional freedoms, including the freedom of economic activity. Restrictions and bans aimed at combating the epidemic were introduced in 2020 in the form of regulations issued on the basis of the Act of 5 December 2008 on preventing and combating infections and infectious diseases in humans, amended for the purposes of combating COVID-19. Its provisions gave the Council of Ministers the power to introduce temporary restrictions in carrying out specific scopes of economic activity. The frequently changed wording of the regulations resulted in interpretation difficulties in determining the scope of the restrictions. Justified doubts have been raised concerning the provisions of the Regulation of the Council of Ministers of 21 December 2020 on the establishment of certain restrictions, orders and bans in connection with the occurrence of an epidemic, relating to sports economic activities. The scope of the legal provisions differs significantly from the communications of the representatives of the Council of Ministers. The purpose of this article is to establish the actual scope of the restrictions on the conduct of sports facilities, established at the end of 2020.

The present study discusses the role of the judiciary concerning the interpretation of the right to education, with emphasis on the educational constitutional principles, on the basic content of the right to education and on the problems faced by this right. Furthermore, the present study pursuits to bring the risks that the excessive judicialization of the education brings to the balance between powers and the natural order of administration itself and public policies management in which the executive and legislative as powers elected by the people, develop, approve and initiate such programmatic actions; the lack of technical capacity of the judiciary to manage such complex matters; and the absence of infinite public resources to look after all the rights and benefits contained in the constitutions of the democratic states. As the education is a right related to the human dignity, development and citizenship, this way it should be carried out with diligence: 1. by the public authorities, specially the judiciary that even though it has not been elected by the universal suffrage, will not be able to remain inert in cases of inefficiency of the executive and legislative, for this purpose, it will be necessary mechanisms that provide more legitimacy in the acting of the judge, avoiding an inappropriate misuse of powers; and 2. by all members of society, as doers of their citizen position in search of a more decent life, once that through education (for) democracy, rights connected to freedom and to personal development are also accomplished.
