The article devoted to the role of women in contemporary authority in general and in parliamentary institutions in particular. The author also offers a concise excursus in history noting the interesting opposition of feminist and “women” organizations from the point of view of their participation in power structures and their relevant goals, as well as their representation in the government bodies and structures. On the basis of large data arrays the author studies the dynamics of women participation in representative and legislative bodies of the state power starting with the USSR Supreme Soviet and to the State Duma of all convocations and the Council of the Federation from 1993 and until present time, including the representation of women in the governing structures of both chambers of the Federal Assembly.

Much of the quantitative literature on civil wars and ethnic conflict ignores the role of the state or treats it as a mere arena for political competition among ethnic groups. Other studies analyze how the state grants or withholds minority rights and faces ethnic protest and rebellion accordingly, while largely overlooking the ethnic power configurations at the state's center. Drawing on a new data set on Ethnic Power Relations (EPR) that identifies all politically relevant ethnic groups and their access to central state power around the world from 1946 through 2005, the authors analyze outbreaks of armed conflict as the result of competing ethnonationalist claims to state power. The findings indicate that representatives of ethnic groups are more likely to initiate conflict with the government (1) the more excluded from state power they are, especially if they have recently lost power, (2) the higher their mobilizational capacity, and (3) the more they have experienced conflict in the past.

Menyadari betapa besar peranan negara dalam berbagai kehidupan masyarakat dan kekuasaan negara, maka kebebasan negara dalam arti pelaksanaan peraturan perundangn-undangan pada hakekatnya dilakukan oleh manusia itu sendiri. Oleh karena itu, yang pertama harus dilakukan adalah manusia sebagai penentu kebijakan hukum, dalam hal ini adalah para hakim yang terdidik, baik, cakap, disiplin, jujur, mentaati hukum, dan tidak rangkap jabatan. Untuk mewujudkan hal tersebut masih perlu adanya upaya untuk mendorong pihak yang berwenang untuk mengawasi dan membina hakim agar lebih menunjukan political will dengan meningkatkan kualitas pengawasan dan pembinaanya sehingga citra hakim pada khususnya dan peradilan pada umumnya semakin terangkat dan kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap hukum semakin baik. Untuk lebih mempertegas prinsip kekuasaan kehakiman yang memiliki asas kebebasan, kiranya perlu difikirkan kembali tentang disain dari struktur yudikatif di Indonesia, seyogyanya wewenang dan cakupan kekuasaan penyelenggara kekuasaan kehakiman diperluas dengan diserahkanya aspek-aspek administratif pada para penyelenggaranya. Dengan demikian para hakim tidak lagi ditempatkan pembinaan administratifnya pada pemerintah, sehingga penyelenggaraaan kekuasaan kehakiman betul-betul terpisah secara keseluruhan dengan penyelenggara kekuasaan lain. Bila hal ini dilakukan diharapkan kebebasan hakim akan terwujudkan dan keadilan dapat ditegakan di bumi pertiwi.Realizing how big the role of the state in the various life of society and state power, then the freedom of the state in the sense of the implementation of legislation is essentially done by the man himself. Therefore, the first thing to do is human beings as the determinants of legal policy, in this case the judges who are educated, good, competent, disciplined, honest, obey the law, and not double position. To realize this matter, there is still an effort to encourage the authorities to supervise and nurture the judges to show more political will by improving the quality of supervision and development so that the image of judges in particular and the judiciary in general is increasingly raised and the public's trust in law is getting better. To further reinforce the principle of judicial power which has a principle of freedom, it may be necessary to rethink about the design of the judicial structure in Indonesia, should the authority and scope of power of the judicial power organizers be expanded by the administrative aspects handed over to the organizers. Thus, the administrative coaching of the judges are no longer placed on the government, so that the exercise of judicial powers is completely separate as a whole with other branches of government. If this is done it is expected that the freedom of judges will be realized and justice can be established in the land of the earth.

AbstractIt has been widely observed that virtue ethics, regarded as an ethics of the ancient, in contrast to deontology and consequentialism, seen as an ethics of the modern (Larmore 1996: 19–23), is experiencing an impressive revival and is becoming a strong rival to utilitarianism and deontology in the English-speaking world in the last a few decades. Despite this, it has been perceived as having an obvious weakness in comparison with its two major rivals. While both utilitarianism and deontology can at the same time serve as an ethical theory, providing guidance for individual persons and a political philosophy, offering ways to structure social institutions, virtue ethics, as it is concerned with character traits of individual persons, seems to be ill-equipped to be politically useful. In recent years, some attempts have been made to develop the so-called virtue politics, but most of them, including my own (see Huang 2014: Chapter 5), are limited to arguing for the perfectionist view that the state has the obligation to do things to help its members develop their virtues, and so the focus is still on the character traits of individual persons. However important those attempts are, such a notion of virtue politics is clearly too narrow, unless one thinks that the only job the state is supposed to do is to cultivate its people’s virtues. Yet obviously the government has many other jobs to do such as making laws and social policies, many if not most of which are not for the purpose of making people virtuous. The question is then in what sense such laws and social policies are moral in general and just in particular. Utilitarianism and deontology have their ready answers in the light of utility or moral principles respectively. Can virtue ethics provide its own answer? This paper attempts to argue for an affirmative answer to this question from the Confucian point of view, as represented by Mencius. It does so with a focus on the virtue of justice, as it is a central concept in both virtue ethics and political philosophy.

In 2011, the government of Bangladesh began an investigation into the financial dealings of the Grameen Bank that won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006. This disciplining of a world-renowned institution and its founder by the state reconfigures the altered relationship between the state and NGOs in Bangladesh. This article investigates this about-face between the state and NGOs from the 1990s, when their relationship was characterized as ‘partners in development’, to the late 2000s when the state saw the leading NGOs and their leaders as potential political adversaries. In Bangladesh, the former relationship of a weak state vis-à-vis the powerful, western-funded NGO has been recalibrated. Under the present condition of authoritarian rule, the state is willing to accept the role of the NGO as a development actor but not as a political contender. This article examines this shifting relationship between the state and NGOs.

AbstractIn the drama of negotiation of state boundaries, the role of local administrators as mediators is indispensable. They mediate between state demands for more discipline and societal demands for more liberties. Their ability and willingness to enforce determines the extent of state power. They are a particular type of elites chosen by the state to administer; yet often they have an irrational and morally corrupt relationship with their subjects. The questions that arise then are: When do the local administrators decide to or not to enforce the rules? What considerations do they hold in the face of contradicting demands for their loyalties? This paper seeks answers to the above questions by examining state enforcement of its construction rules in Hanoi after 1975, in which the ward, a level of local administrators in the urban administration landscape, plays an important role in holding up (or letting down) the fences. I will examine the irrationality of the housing regime that led to widespread offences against construction rules, and then show why and how local administrators may or may not enforce rules. This paper comprises two parts. The first part outlines the nature and history of the housing regime in Vietnam and the situation of state provision of housing to the people. These provide the context in which illegal construction arises. Part Two looks at illegal construction in Hanoi chronologically, and focuses on important episodes. The theme that runs through this paper is the role of local administrators in the reality of illegal construction.
