Islamic Values

Civil society is a socio-political construct that places Islam and the State in a state of mutual need, namely, Islam, on the one hand, as a moral guide for state management, and the State, on the other, as a foundation for Islamic values. This conception refers to the significant amount of the Medina-built society of the prophet Muhammad and Khulafaurrasyidin, which consists of five key pillars: monotheism, humanism, deliberations, justice, and Brotherhood. This research aims to investigate how civil society interacts with the growth of political democracy in Indonesia. The researcher used descriptive qualitative techniques in this investigation by analyzing primary data collected from library studies. The data were processed using discourse analyzes and hermeneutic analysis techniques. Besides, the researchers used the historical, sociological, philosophical, and theological convergence approach. The research result revealed that the process of consolidating and improving political democracy in Indonesia remained bureaucratic and did not wholly represent civil society characteristics

As digital technologies develop, a new form of relations between the state and the public is developing as well. Additional opportunities for the expression of public interests and the establishment of values preferred by the society arise, new mechanisms of political mobilization develop, new forms of public organization and self-organization emerge, the social media gain more power, and local and general public narrative develop on a number of online platforms. With the digitization of the public space, the state is forced to change its communication strategies and improve the dialogue between the government and the society based on deliberative democracy principles. After analysing the architecture of public communication emerging in new conditions the paper concludes that Russia is making certain efforts to adapt for the new digitized reality. However, current state priorities are shifting towards e-government and the digital economy. On the one hand, it seems justified, as it allows to bring the public services to a completely new level, reduce corruption risks, and simplify state management of economic processes. On the other hand, the lack of due attention to the issues of openness of public administration and involvement of citizens in making public decisions results in accumulation of contradictions in the public area of public administration, as well as increasing mutual misunderstanding and distrust between the state bodies and the civil society, which may entail bursts of social discontent and protests.

The research aimed at finding out speaking ability of second grade elementary students by using Think Talk Write learning model. The data retrieval was carried out for four days. The problem was lack of teachers’ innovation in improving students’ speaking ability so the researcher decided to carry out this model. The research method was descriptive qualitative. Primary data was taken from this research result and secondary data was taken from published journals. Data analysis techniques were triangulation and data reduction from interview, observations, students’ activities, and students’ presentation results. The result of this study showed that on the first day of observation the students were still in low category, while on the second day to the fourth day, 25 students were in fast category and only 2 students were in medium category. Based on this result, it can be concluded that Think Talk Write learning model can improve speaking ability of second grade elementary students.

Grassroots Level

Robert Weller has given us a virtuoso display of theoretical sophistication combined with rich primary data in a densely packed yet consistently stimulating volume. Recognizing the controversy over the applicability of the concept of “civil society” to areas outside the West, he elaborates the idea of an “alternate civility,” by which he means forms of association between the family and the state deeply rooted in society at the grassroots level (therefore not broad-based enough to qualify as “civil”) that, in his view, have provided the basis for Taiwan's democratic transition, and may provide the seeds for a similar political transformation in mainland China. He calls this the “informal social sector” and contrasts it with a sector comprising formal organizations, which are more likely to be co-opted by the state.

State And Society

Today, Ukraine is in dire need of changes and reforms that would lead to the optimization and effective management of society and the state. One of such important reforms is the transition from state to public management, and further improvement of the foundations and principles of public management. In the management of the state, where complex processes of transition to public management are taking place, there have always been advanced trends of deepening and expanding publicity in the activities of government institutions. This is the path taken by the "old" countries of Western democracy, as well as the countries of the post-socialist camp, the Baltic republics, which today have successfully joined the EU. Ukraine must follow this path if it tries to become a civilized part of the world. Hence, the system of state management should change dramatically, when the most appropriate in the management structure is an organic combination and effective interaction of public government and local self-government. Even more, the efficiency of civil society itself in the management of public affairs and state structures of power is growing. Socio-economic development and social-power relations at the present stage are already experiencing more and more new changes, both positive and negative. They are becoming very important for the state and society. Being complex and ambiguous, such developments and relations require introduction at the legislative and political levels of new governance systems and structures, which would involve mandatory involvement of the most active representatives of civil society in governance. Note that the period of transition to public management is complex, full of various management problems, requires time and competence of politicians, government, NGOs and more. It is evolutionary in nature, when publicity in governance must develop, and representatives of the branches of government will try to solve the problem of governing the state and society competently, transparently, responsibly, flexibly, openly, socially justly, effectively for the benefit of man as the main social capital.

Kantian Morality

In this article I argue a thesis about Hegel's views on war different from most previous interpreters, e.g., Popper and Hook on the one side and Avineri and Pelczynski on the other. In particular I argue that his reflections on war are an attempt to answer the problem of political obligation or the question of why should anyone willingly die for the state. Accordingly, I examine briefly Hegel's critique of Kantian morality for its inability to account for political obligation proper and although ultimately I conclude that Hegel never completely extricated himself from Kant's belief in a providentialist historicism leading to a condition of “perpetual peace,” I still want to suggest that war remains for Hegel an essential moment in the “ethical” life of the state and perhaps the chief means whereby the dignity and autonomy of the state can be exerted over the network of private interests that constitutes civil society.

The Government

The relevance of the topic is based on the fact that in the last time in juridical literature attention is paid to issues of development of doctrinal origins of e-government. E-government opened opportunities of more effective cooperation of the state and civil society, gave new ways of integrating citizenry in the processes of production and realization of the state policy. The description of the term of e-government is given, according to it: e-government is a new technology of the state management that is based on principles of information acceptance and the state accountability to the citizenry. It is noticed the necessity to use information technologies in the court procedure. We also notice the peculiarities of e-government formation in different countries taking into account that it is impossible to create a unified model for work of this structure. So transformations in different spheres of life of the Russian society forced radically new approaches to the law, legislation and state policy. In its turn civil society gets new stage of development because of opportunity of free discussion of the issue and democratic involvement of all concerned party in the deciding process. Information about state structures activity gives the citizenry control and opportunity to inform themselves about the government work. We understand as important the openness and readiness of government to the bigger level of efforts in providing state services in the electronic form.

Private Associations

For most of their history, political parties were understood to be external to the state. Particularly starting in the last quarter of the twentieth century, there has been an accelerating trend to redefine the relationships between parties and civil society on the one hand, and between parties and the state, on the other. Parties have been drawing away from society and moving toward the state. Parties often draw a large portion of their resources from the state in the form of subventions and are increasingly regulated by the state according to norms more generally associated with public entities than with private associations. The resulting similarity of regulatory and financial circumstances, and the expansion of partisan public offices shared by parties that are temporarily in office and temporarily out of office, both brings the mainstream parties closer to one another and blurs the boundary between parties and the state.

Migrant Associations

In this essay, I analyze Vietnamese migrant associations in Poland, which have been routinely classified as “non-governmental organizations.” And yet, through their involvement in networks of relationships with a broad range of actors, including transnational connections with institutions back in Vietnam, they are in fact positioned in a liminal zone between the state and civil society. On the one hand, migrant associations are to a large extent entangled with the politics of the Vietnamese state through various channels, including the embassy, and through personal and institutional connections maintained with mass organizations such as the Fatherland Front and the Women’s Union. On the other hand, they are able to retain some degree of autonomy and pluralism, remaining active agents engaged with the fraught social and political activities of Vietnamese diasporics in Poland.

Peremptory Norms

Cyberspace crime is a critical threat to the information security of the state and civil society institutions. Inside global network the abuse of computer user’s trust allows organized criminal groups to achieve their economic and political goals by committing offenses in the international information space. The methods of participatory observation, comparative legal and discourse analysis show that digital transformation has weakened the influence of the state on the development of the cultural sphere of society, and computer technologies have become the object of interests of criminal structures. Digital transformation has created virtual reality based on the laws and regulations of the networked community. Civil society by rejecting most of the peremptory norms imposed by national governments for political purposes produce victims of a wide range of cybercrimes: fraud and computer misuse offences and obscene publications. Since digital transformation is a universal phenomenon that will inevitably change the life of the entire world community, it is necessary to reach a consensus on the development and implementation of modern international agreement which, on the one hand, will guarantee freedom of speech and the right of every person to access information, and on the other hand will protect citizens, states and social institutions from criminal encroachments in an actively developing digital environment.
