In his most important and most voluminous creation “The State” (Republic, Politeia), Plato included the most characteristically philosophical concepts which were an expression of his interests. Apart various fields of teaching, such metaphysics, theology, ethics, psychology, pedagogy, State system, which result from this creation, art and poetry could not go without being included as well (including the music). Otherwise, the Plato himself, in young age, except with mathematics he also dealt with poetry by believing that he is going to be more dedicated to it. But, it seems that acquaintance with the Socrates since he was 20 years old changed his mind and he was fully committed to the philosophy. His general philosophical reviews sublimating his philosophical ideas, which arise on the basis of the idea, as an alpha and omega of every human been in the world, took Plato away from poetry by making him more and more torrential in philosophy and more and more critical, even more cynical towards the poetry. Keywords:, Plato, Aesthetics, Poetry, Idea, The beauty, Ideal, Philosophy, Time, Creation, Culture, Imitation, Dialogue, Literature

This essay reconstructs Hedley Bull’s position on nuclear proliferation in The Anarchical Society. Avoiding the extremes of nuclear optimism and pessimism, Bull provided nuanced arguments about the relationship between nuclear proliferation and international order. Bull remained agnostic as to what the world of many nuclear powers would look like. He used this unpredictability to emphasize the notion of restraint involving both superpower cooperation to prevent states from going nuclear as well as the exercise of self-restraint on the part of superpowers. Showing restraint was crucial to the continued existence of the states system. Bull worried that proliferation represented a particular threat to it. Nuclear weapons exposed states to the prospect of sudden and complete destruction. This could lead to the abolition of the state system and its replacement with world government, to which Bull was strongly opposed. The conclusion illustrates Bull’s relevance in relation to the recent pursuit of non-proliferation.

The study considers how the phenomenon of state entrepreneurship has been examined in theoretical works by world-famous researchers. It has been brought to light that a comparison of the performance of state-owned enterprises is rather difficult due to divergent views on their socio-economic and institutional framework in different countries. The characteristics of privatization processes that have taken place since the 1990s as well as their current trends are identified. The contribution of an entrepreneurial state in financing and stimulating innovations is analyzed. Bearing in mind the ever-growing role of state entrepreneurship in building business processes, it is noted that the current stage of the development of state entrepreneurship needs significant changes in the state system of economic governance. Taking into account shortcomings over the analyzed period, suggestions have been put forward on how to improve the effectiveness of state entrepreneurship seen as a tool of public administration.

This chapter deals with institutions and states. Institutions are essentially regular patterns of behaviour that provide stability and predictability to social life. Some institutions are informal, with no formally laid down rules such as the family, social classes, and kinship groups. Others are more formalized, having codified rules and organization. Examples include governments, parties, bureaucracies, legislatures, constitutions, and law courts. The state is defined as sovereign, with institutions that are public. After discussing the concept of institutions and the range of factors that structure political behaviour, the chapter considers the multi-faceted concept of the state. It then looks at the history of how the European type of state and the European state system spread around the world between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries. It also examines the modern state and some of the differences between strong states, weak states, and democratic states.

The monitoring system in state departments/institutions is extremely significant and important in any setup/government. The working of the state system becomes coherent and meaningful, and institutions and organizations become proactive under effective monitoring. Also, in the masses, it encourages trust in state and state departments/organizations, and a healthily prosperous society develops. In a society without a proficient monitoring system, institutions become  victim of inefficiency, negligence,  and lack of interest and lethargy, and thus become meaningless and ineffective. In today’s world monitoring is given its due weight, and the services of various agencies/organizations are hired for the purpose of monitoring. The concept of monitoring (and accountability) is not a new one, however; Islam introduced the idea   earlier when the world was ignorant of it at large.  It is evident from the records of the holy life of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) that he himself held monitoring absolutely important. In the state of Madina prophet (SAW) himself monitoried the market Groceries and its rates.market monitoring is very important for the Control of inflation.  From various historical accounts, it is clear that the four Pious Caliphs made the system of monitoring more established and organized according to the specific conditions and needs of their times, Specially in the monitoring of market they organized a proper system. Their principle of market monitoring is an example that still can and should be followed. In the present  Reseach study, a survey/analysis of the concept and principles of  market monitoring prevalent during the holy life of the Prophet and the early caliphate system is given. In the light of/From the perspective of these guiding principles, an analysis of the modern system of  market monitoring and its utility/practicality is presented.

This paper examines the concept, theory, and practice of the right to self-determination as applied in some countries. The secessionist movement in the Philippines led by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has focused and relied on the international community to support its struggle for a Bangsa Moro (Moro Nation) right to self-determination. However, the reality in the world state system is the protection of the state’s territorial integrity rather than its impairment. The paper argues that the internationally-recognized right to self-determination is a shaky promise of independence to nations and peoples who seek independence from the state. Unless the state addresses the fundamental grievances of Muslims in the Philippines in appropriate, relevant, and timely policies that substantially and tangibly work toward greater democracy, deeper participation, and better governance, secessionism as a political alternative cannot be completely disregarded as a final option.

This chapter explores the relationship between the state and institutions and how political scientists theorize about them. It first provides an overview of the concept of institutions and the range of factors that structure political behaviour, noting how political, economic, and social factors determine particular outcomes, which are in turn influenced by ‘structure’ and ‘agency’. It then considers the multifaceted concept of the state and the rise of the European state, focusing in particular on the ways in which the European type of state and state system spread around the world between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries. The chapter goes on to discuss the modern state and some of the differences between strong states, weak states, and democratic states, suggesting that states need legitimacy and robust institutions to be strong.
