Gender Quota

The article highlights the current state of gender parity in the government system in Ukraine. The Ukrainian legislation is gender-balanced and provides all the main types of equality and social protection, which are enshrined at both the constitutional and the legislative levels. However, the problem is in the contradiction between legislative fixing of gender equality principles and real social processes. In Ukraine there is a voluntary 30 percent gender quota, which is enshrined in the Law “On political parties in Ukraine”, according to which parties that have at least a third part of representatives of the same gender as a result of elections, receive an additional 10% of annual volume of state funding of statutory activities. Since 2015, the gender quota has also been extended to local elections. It means that at least a third part of the electoral roll must be women. According to the monitoring of the official site of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the gender composition of the Verkhovna Rada of the 9th convocation has changed and compared to the previous one, the representation of women has increased by 8.8% in the parliament and two parties have received an additional funding from the state budget for more balanced representation of women and men in the Verkhovna Rada – “European Solidarity” and “Voice”. However, the problem of women and men's empowerment remains. Positive and negative aspects of the process of gender policy-making are shown. The legislative support for gender equality is analyzed. It is proved that the declarative nature of gender legislation is a serious cause of imbalance in establishing the parity of representation of men and women in the system of public administration of Ukraine, as well as the absence of a legal mechanism for ensuring the principle of equality between women and men. The ways of gender policy improvement in the system of public administration are outlined, in particular: legislative changes should be accompanied by gender-sensitive education in order to shape the gender culture of citizens and civil servants; gender issues must be taken into account in sustainable development strategies and programs. Keywords: gender, gender policy, public administration, discrimination, gender equality, gender roles, gender identity, gender legal expertise, gender analysis, gender quota.

This article investigates the dynamics that gender quota reforms create within and between government and opposition parties in electoral authoritarian dominant-party states. A dominant-party state regularly holds relatively competitive elections, but the political playing field is skewed in favour of the government party. We investigate the circumstances under which gender quotas’ goal of furthering political gender equality within political parties can be reconciled with parties’ electoral concerns. We address these issues by analysing the implementation of reserved seats by the three largest parties in the dominant-party state of Tanzania. The empirical analysis suggests that the uneven playing field leaves an imprint on the specific priorities parties make when implementing candidate selection reforms. Because of large resource gaps between parties, the ruling party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi – (CCM), is able to reconcile gender equality concerns with power-maximizing partisan strategies to a greater extent than the opposition parties.

For several years in a row, Ukraine has been on the path of active democratic transformations due to a significant number of complex political, economic, environmental, and regulatory changes. Most of the transformations are due to the unwillingness of civil society to put up with situations that hinder the gradual development of all spheres of activity. Unfortunately, the leading positions are occupied by problems related to corruption in the public sector, which is one of the inhibiting factors in the implementation of state programs, reforms, and innovations. Their influence reduces the level of public confidence in the government, as well as contributes to the deterioration of the country's position at the level of international cooperation. Such actions lead to the development of crisis phenomena in sociopolitical and economic activities, reduces the level of national security and social protection of citizens. The presence of crisis phenomena leads to the need to make changes in the functioning of the most necessary industries such as health care facilities, educational services, state-owned enterprises, and industry. The phenomenon of corruption has a negative impact on the country's competitiveness, on its ability to fully meet the needs of its own citizens, which creates distrust not only of ordinary citizens but also of entrepreneurs. Based on this, identifying and preventing the influence of the main factors influencing the development of the anti-corruption policy of the state is quite relevant and important for solving the problems that have covered the activities of our country. In the course of the research, the approaches to understanding the essence of anti-corruption policy were generalized, measures were identified and priority areas for combating corruption were identified. It was found that the functioning of the process of democratic transformation in combating corruption contributes to the creation of a non-corrupt environment that promotes the progressive development of the country. Keywords: Corruption, corrupt activities, state anti-corruption policy, anti-corruption activities, public administration, public administration, public authorities.

AbstractThis paper examines various perspectives on the management of madrasah education that include:Firstly, what is the government’s perspective on the management option of madrasah, is it the government’s authority (the Ministry of Religion) or madrasah management option is the authority of local government? Second, Why does the financing of madrasah require increasing portion of the budget that is equivalent to ordinary schools? Third, why do we need improvement and expansion of authority for the managerial organizational structure in the Ministry of religion from the level of directorate to be directorate general level ?. The results of the study are first, the managerial authority of madrasah in the perspective of public administration shows that the management of madrasah is the domain of the government and has been delegated by the government to the Ministry of Religion. Second, the budget implementation for madrasah has not met twenty percent of the State Budget (APBN) as well as from the Regional Budget (APBD) as mandated by the constitution. This non-proportional budgeting has impacted the implementation of madrasah to be non-optimal. Third, the management organization of madrasah education in the Ministry of Religion is not optimal in serving the organization of madrasah. Increased authority and expansion of madrasah education management organization structure is an urgent need in order to balance the scope of development and organizational capacity.AbstrakTulisan ini mengkaji berbagai perspektif tentang pengelolaan pendidikan madrasah meliputi: Pertama Bagaimana perspektif administrasi pemerintahan terhadap pilihan pengelolaan madrasah sebagai kewenangan pemerintah (Kementerian Agama) ataupun pilihan pengelolaan madrasah sebagai kewenangan pemerintah daerah? Kedua, Mengapa pembiayaan madrasah membutuhkan peningkatan porsi anggaran yang setara dengan sekolah? Ketiga, Mengapa dibutuhkan peningkat an kewenangan dan perluasan struktur organisasi pengelola madrasah di Kementerian agama dari level direktorat menjadi direktorat jenderal?. Hasil kajian adalah, Pertama, Kewenangan pengelolaan pendidikan madrasah dalam perspektif administrasi pemerintahan menunjukkan, bahwa pengelolaan pendidikan madrasah merupakan domain pemerintah dan secara delegatif telah diberikan oleh pemerintah kepada Kementerian Agama. Kedua, Anggaran penyelenggaraan pendidikan madrasah belum memenuhi dua puluh persen dari Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara (APBN) serta dari Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah (APBD) sebagaimana dimandatkan konstitusi. Penganggaran yang belum proporsional ini telah berdampak terhadap penyelenggaraan madrasah yang tidak optimal. Ketiga, Organisasi pengelola pendidikan madrasah di lingkungan Kementerian Agama belum optimal dalam melayani penyelenggaraan pendidikan madrasah. Peningkatan wewenang dan perluasan struktur organisasi pengelola pendidikan madrasah merupakan kebutuhan mendesak dalam rangka menyeimbangkan antara ruang lingkup pembinaan dan kapasitas organisasi

This conference transcript collects the lectures given at the interdisciplinary conference on gender equality and democracy, which took place in Hamburg in December 2017. The book addresses the issue of gender quotas for parliaments, elected committees in public administration and federal courts. While Germany celebrates the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in 2018/19, women are still underrepresented at top level positions in politics. The current political debate seeks effective options to increase the representation of women. Binding quotas promise a solution and promote the constitutional and international legal goal of gender equality. However, legal quotas for public elections affect the principle of democracy. The contributions in this book shed light on the relationship between the principle of democracy and gender equality, and present different approaches for a more thorough understanding of democratic representation and legitimacy.

The Impact

The allocating revenue to the individual budgets of self-governments in the Slovak Republic is a highly sophisticated process. Redistribution of resources using fiscal decentralization is an effective instrument through which the government attempts to eliminate subsidizing of municipalities and self-governing regions from the state budget and thus achieve higher stability of the economy. The function of municipalities and higher territorial units is secured by so-called special purpose tax revenues, which do not go into the state budget but directly into the budgets of self-governments. This research contribution focuses on the revenue side of budgets of public administration institutions for the period of the last five concluding budget years. The analysis demonstrates the meaning and importance of tax revenues for the mentioned institutions as well as the expenditure side of the state budget. In this contribution, a comparative study identified the changes that occurred in the individual years of the presented range and subsequently, evaluated fiscal decentralization and its influence on the revenue side of budgets of municipalities.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE)’s “Vision 2021” set a deadline for the country to become one of the top 25 countries in the area of gender equality by the end of that year, with the government launching a gender balance program to achieve this goal. However, the private sector faces challenges in the implementation of these national gender policies. Even with country’s multinational entities leading the way for gender equality in the private sector, implementing the new gender policy is challenging. This study demonstrates the ways in which cooperation between private sector entities and the government is often dysfunctional. Testimony from 10 interviews with professionals in UAE-based companies suggests that businesses face problems implementing gender-balancing policies due to a lack of transparency, reporting, and accurate data on gender issues within both the private and the public sectors. The study concludes that businesses require greater guidance and more transparent measures to be able to advance gender equality issues in the UAE.

Purpose: to research the ways of gender policy improvement in the system of public administration. It is proved that at the present stage of development of the Ukrainian society the achievements of the gender equality policy are introduced successfully at both constitutional and legislative level. Those achievements are introduced into the system of social relations, in all spheres of social life. On its basis a proper public and state governance is being done. The author came to the conclusion that the system of public administration is part of a wider system – a society. Thus, without solving the problem of gender equality in Ukrainian society, the problem of gender imbalance in the system of public administration can not be solved. The basis of the practical solution of issues of gender imbalance in the system of public administration should be the idea of "human-centrism" as an anthropological basis of administration. Its application contributes to the legal, political, social, and economic institutions being oriented towards the individual.

Objective - This research aims to examine the issue of gender equality in nations who adopt a patriarchal value system, such as Indonesia, where the opportunity for woman to participate in government is relatively limited. The governance implemented in Indonesia, both central and local level, tend to adhere to the principles of "Good Governance". Inherent in these principles is the principle of gender equality, which aims to provide all citizens with the opportunity to improve and maintain their prosperity. Methodology/Technique - This research focuses on 2 main questions, namely: what is the role and position of woman in local government in Kota Malang? and what is the strategy and obstacles faced in improving the role of women? The method used in this research is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The data was collected through documentation, interviews and observation. The data was analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model, namely: data reduction, data display and conclusion. Findings - The results show that the role of woman in making public policy is limited to participation as a consulting member only, with no ability to influence the material substance of they policy. Further, it seems that illiteracy of women in the area remains high, and only a marginal number of women currently occupy higher positions in the government. Further, the election of a woman to the position of Mayor had no significant effect on the rate of gender equality. Novelty - This research suggests that there is a need for increased representation of woman in politics, either in legislative, judicative or executive branches of government, a need to develop a local rule (PERDA) to include woman in governmental affairs, the need to amend the current governmental system to a more justice-focused system, in order to support the legal system by supporting small groups and balance values and morality by increasing representation of women across all sectors. Type of Paper: Empirical. Keywords: Gender; Local Governmental Institution; Good Government. JEL Classification: M10. M19.

Definition Of

The article attempts to differentiate between public administration as a subject of legal relations and as a relevant activity, a function that is inherent in it. It is stated that public administration as a separate legal institution within the framework of administrative law is at the stage of development in post-Soviet countries, including Ukraine, competing with theories and sciences of public administration, which a large number of experts recognize as inappropriate with modern public administration. and administration. At the same time, there is no unanimity of views, terminology is used, which has a double meaning. In the administrative law of Western European and North American countries, public administration is mainly defined as a set of bodies and institutions that exercise public power through the implementation of laws, regulations and other actions in the public interest. There are a large number of scientific definitions of public administration and public administration. The definition of "public administration" has the following closely related meanings - an integrated state apparatus (policies, rules, procedures, systems, organizational structures, staff, etc.), which is funded by the state budget and is responsible for managing and coordinating the executive branch and its interaction with other stakeholders in the state, society and the external environment; - management and implementation of various government measures related to the implementation of laws, regulations and decisions of the government and management related to the provision of public services. Thus, it would be logical to follow a structural approach, according to which public administration will be considered primarily as a set of state bodies and other public institutions designed to organize the effective functioning of society.
