• Mucho se ha debatido acerca del ajuste estructural y la reforma del Estado en América Latina, de la caída de los sistemas de Estado de Bienestar y el auge del pensamiento neoliberal, de la reorientación de las protecciones sociales hacia la focalización, descentralización y privatización, movimientos que comienzan a gestarse hacia fines de la década del ‘70 y que, en el caso de Argentina, terminan de consolidarse en los ‘90. Precisamente, con la intención de ofrecer canales de entrada a la discusión acerca del Estado y su “reforma” o “reinvención”, el presente trabajo presenta una serie de contrapuntos entre las teorías del Estado y los estudios sobre gubernamentalidad. La perspectiva analítica adoptada se basa, fundamentalmente, en el enfoque proveniente de los governmentality studies y pretende entablar un diálogo crítico entre diversas claves analíticas. Para ello, se vale de nociones caras tanto al pensamiento político como sociológico y establece contrapuntos entre: Estado y gobierno; democratización de la administración pública y gubernamentalización del gobierno; territorialización y gobierno a través de la comunidad. El objetivo de este artículo es identificar no sólo las divergencias sino también los intercambios posibles entre ambos enfoques y es por ello que la reflexión se organiza sobre la base de los mencionados contrapuntos, no como absolutos opuestos sino como heterogéneos.  • With a view to offering avenues of debate on the State and its “reform” or “re-invention”, this paper presents a number of counterpoints between theories about the State and governmentality studies. The analytical approach taken is primarily based on the focus used in governmentality studies and aims to set up a critical dialogue between various standpoints. Hence, it takes account of notions held in high esteem both in political and sociological thought such as State, government, society and community. The aim of this study is to identify not only divergent aspects but also the potential exchanges between the two approaches, this being the reason why reflection revolves around various counterpoints, which are seen not as opposing but as heterogeneous absolutes.

Abstract. Land subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal has been developing in the Aguascalientes Valley since the 1980's. Even though the affected area is close to 900 km2, and the sinking velocity is up to 10 cm yr−1 in some zones, the main concern for valley inhabitants and local government is the occurrence of subsidence-related cracks and failures, which are developed in the surface terrain and damage buildings and infrastructure. In order to face this problem, the state government of Aguascalientes set up in 1994 an interinstitutional committee which is integrated by four working groups: (1) technical studies, (2) equilibrium of the aquifer, (3) normativity and cartography, and (4) attention to damaged infrastructure. Each working group integrates several public and private agencies whose activities are influenced by the in-progress subsidence process. Federal, state and municipal water management agencies, as well as government bureaus of urban planning and public works are included in the committee. Also, the state university and some professional state associations such as civil engineers and earth sciences engineers are actively involved in the committee, along with the National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics, which is the federal agency addressed to produce official cartography in Mexico. Some agencies participate not only in one working group but in those that fall in their interest, therefore, many agencies are contributing to several working groups objectives. In this work, we present a summarize of the work developed for the committee since its creation, and about its evolution and current organization. It is presented an analysis and discussion of the changes that the committee has experienced in their objectives and applied methods to address the evolution of the fissuring problem, and how their results have helped to prevent and to mitigate the land subsidence effects. Also, the mechanisms implemented to inform to the general public about the subsidence process and its effects; besides of the expected challenges that the committee will enfaces in the near and far future. This work intends to share the experiences of the committee hoping to be useful to other government agencies and earth scientists dealing with the land subsidence problem.

The Welfare State

The goal of the article was to remind the state authorities in order to realize that Indonesia was set up aiming for the welfare of the people. Qualitative research was conducted. Data obtained from literature studies and field observations. The analytical method used was descriptive analysis. The results indicate that Indonesia are often far from people's expectations. Authorities, especially of late just thinking about state power without thinking about the lives of the people in general. Indeed, attention to the people of Indonesia by a regime that ever existed up and down sometimes. However, in recent times with the number of cases that exist in the country of Indonesia plus the slogan 'the autopilot' illustrates that the country further and further away from the people themselves. Therefore, the need for Indonesia to return the State Government to be more focused on the welfare of the people widely in the framework towards the welfare state because that is true the goals of Indonesia country was built.

Abstract Jharkhand, India, is home to around 20 indigenous languages. People from around 33 indigenous communities use these languages. Around 2010, the state used to experience children’s highest dropout from primary schools in the nation. In the education system there was no clarity about how to address this persistent issue. In 2011, the author set up a research cell titled M-TALL (Mother-Tongue-based Active Language Learning) akhra in the state. The center undertook a socio-linguistic survey which revealed that around 96% children in the state did not speak in Hindi. They communicated in their local indigenous languages at home, playground and market. The study also found out that children failed to understand their teacher and textbooks written in Hindi. Initially the duty bearers did not pay any attention to the findings. The M-TALL akhra researchers continued their exploration and collected a lot of learning resources from each community. They developed bilingual picture dictionaries in 9 indigenous and regional languages for use in children’s early grades. Then M-TALL akhra developed a pre-school education package. In 2016, the state government with help of M-TALL akhra developed culturally sensitive new textbooks in 5 indigenous and 2 regional languages. Using these, the state initiated a mother-tongue-based multilingual education programme in around 1000 schools.

Today's market scenario is totally changed. In today's present market scenario customers will describe their specifications and manufacturers, distributors or retailers will try to supply it. In fact this is because of the choosy customers. Today manufacturer has to offer more and more varieties of product to the customers through advertising media such as television, print media, web etc. Many advertisements are coming up on the NET. Therefore business houses have to set up attractive electronic marketplace to attract customers. In Manipur, industries like agro based industry and handloom and handicraft industry produced different items for its own use and to export to other state of India. The numbers of Internet users in the state are increasing exponentially. Organisations can think to exploit the advantages of using Internet through BSNL, NIC and STPI Imphal. With the facilities available in Manipur, it is high time to exploit the potential of electronic commerce. So, organisations must be willing to change the way they do business. This is the right time to go for electronic commerce business by setting up electronic commerce website in Manipur. In fact, state government needs to play a big role in the formulation and implementation of electronic commerce as per IT policy of Manipur.

Government has initiated skill development focused on Industry in partnership with leading global companies like Siemens and many more. As it is gaining scale and maturity, need for Skills Policy that weaves together all aspects in a comprehensive roadmap was acutely felt. This policy is being released at an opportune time and will enable rapid growth and improved outcomes for skill development and entrepreneurship interventions in the state especially for the youth. Government of Jharkhand is committed to enabling growth of the state through skilling the youth. A skilled and high productivity manpower base is a critical enabler in the growth of manufacturing, services and agriculture. It is also a critical intervention to harness the potential of ‘Demographic Dividend’ in a youthful state like Jharkhand. To give impetus to growth with scale, speed and standard, Government of Jharkhand has decided to frame a Skills Policy for the state of Jharkhand. This policy will be known as ‘Jharkhand Skills Policy’ and will be in force in the state.

First Time

On March 10, 1936, Rhode Island held a constitutional convention referendum for the first time since 1853. With what proved to be nearly everywhere a straight party set-up, the Republicans defeated the proposal for a convention by about 12,000 votes in a total of some 183,000. The principal issue was increased representation of the cities in the senate, although other changes in the state government were also given some attention. The contest for equality of representation in Rhode Island goes back at least to 1811. Under the present constitution, up until five years ago each city and town had one senator in a total of 39. Now Providence has four in a total of 42, although its population is 37 per cent of that of the state. No other city or town has more than one, although they vary in population from Pawtucket with 77,149 to West Greenwich with 402. Even in the house, Providence is entitled to only 25 per cent of the seats. With the increasing strength of the Democrats in the cities, the Republicans are naturally concerned to maintain the present representation. The small towns are anxious to keep their power; but that there is more to it than this is indicated by the fact that about a third of all the small-town senators have offices in Providence.

Similar Development

For Slovenes in the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes the year 1919 represented the final step to a new political beginning. With the end of the united all-Slovene liberal party organisation and the formation of separate liberal parties, the political party life faced a new era. Similar development was showing also in the Marxist camp. The Catholic camp was united. For the first time, Slovenes from all political camps took part in the state government politics and parliament work. They faced the diminishing of the independence, which was gained in the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, and the mutual fight for its preservation or abolition. This was the beginning of national-political separations in the later Yugoslav state. The year 1919 was characterized also by the establishment of the Slovene university and early occurrences of social discontent. A declaration about the new historical phenomenon – Bolshevism, had to be made. While the region of Prekmurje was integrated to the new state, the questions of the Western border and the situation with Carinthia were not resolved. For the Slovene history, the year 1919 presents a multi-transitional year.

The story of anti-communism in California schools is a tale well and often told. But few scholars have appreciated the important role played by private surveillance networks. This article examines how privately funded and run investigations shaped the state government’s pursuit of leftist educators. The previously-secret papers of Major General Ralph H. Van Deman, which were opened to researchers at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., only a few years ago, show that the general operated a private spy network out of San Diego and fed information to military, federal, and state government agencies. Moreover, he taught the state government’s chief anti-communist bureaucrat, Richard E. Combs, how to recruit informants and monitor and control subversives. The case of the suspicious death of one University of California, Los Angeles student – a student that the anti-communists claimed had been “scared to death” by the Reds – shows the extent of the collaboration between Combs and Van Deman. It further illustrates how they conspired to promote fear of communism, influence hiring and firing of University of California faculty, and punish those educators who did not support their project. Although it was rarely successful, Combs’ and Van Deman’s coordinated campaign reveals a story of public-private anticommunist collaboration in California that has been largely forgotten. Because Van Deman’s files are now finally open to researchers, Californians can gain a much more complete understanding of their state bureaucracy’s role in the Red Scare purges of California educators.
