Intrapersonal Relations

The objective of this article is to answer the state of provincial states and the challenges faced by them, and to show the constitutional provisions for coordination, cooperation and coexistence of inter-provincial relations of Nepalese new federal set up. The provincial governments are facing lots of challenge including resource, proper policies, devolution of power and bureaucratic accountability and lack of intra-provincial coordination. The constitution stands on tri-pillar theory (cooperation, coexistence and coordination) to operate the holding together federalism in Nepal. In this article, an empirical facts and field observation of Gandaki Province have been analyzed. The writer argues that other provinces throughout the country have been facing the similar kinds of problems. During the writing, the facts were collected by inter and intrapersonal relations with the civil servants, provincial assembly members and various interaction programs with provincial stakeholders. But the core study area is Gandaki Province. The major finding of this study is that provincial cooperation and coordination is an essential factor to implementing federalism in Nepal. If the provinces failed to cooperate with federal government as well as intra-provincial government, federalism is hardly likely to sustain in Nepal.

Structural Positions

The issue of gender injustice is a form of social injustice in Indonesia which has always been an interesting theme and will remain an important theme in every thought and conception of society in the future. This study aims to describe the recruitment process for ASNs in structural positions in the Provincial Government of East Nusa Tenggara and also the factors that influence the lack of female ASN occupying structural positions. The research method used is qualitative by collecting primary data through in-depth interviews and observation techniques, while secondary data is collected through archives and documentation. The results showed that the recruitment process for State Civil Servants to occupy structural positions was in accordance with the rules in the State Civil Apparatus Law No. 5 of 2014, although not fully implemented as a whole. Apart from the fact that regulations that have not been fully implemented have been identified as well as other factors that influence as well as a lack of interest or willingness from women themselves, space and opportunities are provided but awareness of women to take part is still very minimal.

Knowledge And Attitudes

Background: Violence against women (VAW) remains a huge and protracted public health concern. Also, there is growing recognition that the role men play in changing these inequalities in gender based power relations is critical. Documenting the trends of the aforestated role is essential to developing public health interventions to tackle VAW. Objective: To determine the awareness, knowledge and attitudes to VAW among male civil servants at the state and federal government ministries and agencies (MDAs) in Owerri, Nigeria. Materials and methods: This was a cross sectional survey of 326 male civil servants at the State and Federal Government MDAs in Owerri Nigeria, selected using multistage sampling technique from August 2016 to January 2017. Data were collected using pretested self-administered semi- structured questionnaires. Data were analysed using SPSS V.22. Statistical associations between variables were tested using Chi square, at p -value < 0.05. Results: The mean age of respondents was 40.6 ± 9.8. Three hundred and two (92.6%) of them were aware of VAW. Sources of information on VAW include: 184(57.9%) television, 171(53.8%) radio, 167(52.5%) print media, 152(47.8%) social media. The form of VAW mostly cited 227(70.7%) was rape, while the mostly practiced form of VAW 201(62.4%) was physical violence. Only 65 (20%) had good knowledge, while 151 (46.3%) had a good attitude towards VAW. There were statistically significant associations between respondent’s attitudes towards VAW and (religion [p =0.000], tribe [p =0.017]). Conclusions: This study revealed high awareness on VAW, poor knowledge about VAW and poor attitude towards the practice of VAW. We recommend sustained awareness and improved comprehensive gender equity cum attitudinal change education.

Limit Access

In order to better understand migration governance and the concrete, daily practices of civil servants tasked to enforce state laws and policies, this special issue focuses on the core artefact of bureaucratic work: documents, in their diverse manifestations, including certificates, letters, reports, case files, decisions, internal guidelines and judgements. Based on ethnographic studies in various contexts, we show how civil servants produce statehood, restrict migrants’ movements, and engage with migrants’ strategies to make themselves legible. State actors simultaneously limit access to legal statutes and benefits, question their own practices, and use their discretion in order to help themselves as well as migrant individuals. We also highlight organisational and professional differences in the way civil servants deal with migrants, relate to the state and its policies and define their obligations towards both, migrants and the state. This special issue therefore contributes to the study of the state as documentary practice and highlights the role of paperwork as serious practice of migration control.

Macroeconomic Management

The issue of macroeconomic management in a decentralised set-up is a big question. My part of discussion will get more down into the nuts and bolts and as you see I will unfortunately ask a lot more questions. I think that it is very important that all parties have begin to equip themselves with relatively detailed knowledge of what is likely to occur in the shape and structure of government processes as the devolution of authority in 18th amendment begins to take place. It occurs to me the development stakeholders or the government of Pakistan and the provincial ministries of finance, the Planning Commission and the CCI and potentially others even including the international community. I think these bodes need to know how this devolution can actually occur. What are the actions necessary to develop a transparent budget and an auditable budget, procurements in expenditure processes at the provincial level that were administrated by the federal level in order to avoid macroeconomic management to continue to occur in decentralised set-up. The current arrangement provides as far as I know bulk of resources to be collected and controlled with the federal level. Also there is a significant share of responsibility currently with the federal government. These distributional arrangements will necessarily change as the budgetary regulatory framework for the 18th amendment becomes agreed upon. This regulatory framework is not really in place yet. A regulatory framework would need to be enacted and implemented. This means to me at least that an assessment of pre-18th amendment situation is needed to provide a base line to understand how the new structure will have to be reformed. An assessment perhaps should be done with a review of existing policies or to sort out what were the initial conditions going into 18th amendment. I think as federal and provincial governments are moving towards implementation, at both budgetary and operational levels, a few questions may be needed to be asked. One is how will the new responsibilities assigned to the provinces be financed? What will happen to federal government staff currently engaged in doing all the functions will no longer be with the federal government. How will the human and operational capacity at the provincial government level be developed with a particular emphasis on budgeting expertise and expenditure expertise. If there is going to be control and management at macro level, then there is going to be a tremendous amount of capacity required at the budgeting and expenditure level in the provinces. I think an assessment of the provincial capacity is a good idea.

The Core

This article considers the politics and aesthetics of the colonial Bildungsroman by reading George Moore's often-overlooked novel A Drama in Muslin (1886). It argues that the colonial Bildungsroman does not simply register difference from the metropolitan novel of development or express tension between the core and periphery, as Jed Esty suggests, but rather can imagine a heterogeneous historical time that does not find its end in the nation-state. A Drama in Muslin combines naturalist and realist modes, and moves between Ireland and England to construct a form of untimely development that emphasises political processes (dissent, negotiation) rather than political forms (the state, the nation). Ultimately, the messy, discordant history represented in the novel shows the political potential of anachronism as it celebrates the untimeliness of everyday life.

Subject. The military-industrial complex is one of the core industries in any economy. It ensures both the economic and global security of the State. However, the economic security of MIC enterprises strongly depends on the State and other stakeholders. Objectives. We examine key factors of corporate culture in terms of theoretical and practical aspects. The article identifies the best implementation of corporate culture that has a positive effect on the corporate security in the MIC of the USA, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan ans China. Methods. The study employs dialectical method of research, combines the historical and logic unity, structural analysis, traditional techniques of economic analysis and synthesis. Results. We performed the comparative analysis of corporate culture models and examined how they are used by the MIC corporations with respect to international distinctions. Conclusions and Relevance. The State is the main stakeholder of the MIC corporations, since it acts as the core customer represented by the military department. It regulates and controls operations. The State is often a major shareholder of such corporations. Employees are also important stakeholders. Hence, trying to satisfy stakeholders' needs by developing the corporate culture, corporations mitigate their key risks and enhance their corporate security.

Typical Solution

In his article, A. Zholkovsky discusses the contemporary detective mini-series Otlichnitsa [A Straight-A Student], which mentions O. Mandelstam’s poem for children A Galosh [Kalosha]: more than a fleeting mention, this poem prompts the characters and viewers alike to solve the mystery of its authorship. According to the show’s plot, the fact that Mandelstam penned the poem surfaces when one of the female characters confesses her involvement in his arrest. Examining this episode, Zholkovsky seeks structural parallels with the show in V. Aksyonov’s Overstocked Packaging Barrels [Zatovarennaya bochkotara] and even in B. Pasternak’s Doctor Zhivago [Doktor Zhivago]: in each of those, a member of the Soviet intelligentsia who has developed a real fascination with some unique but unattainable object is shocked to realize that the establishment have long enjoyed this exotic object without restrictions. We observe, therefore, a typical solution to the core problem of the Soviet, and more broadly, Russian cultural-political situation: the relationship between the intelligentsia and the state, and the resolution is not a confrontation, but reconciliation.
