Patriotism is the foundation of the social system viability, one of the conditions for the proper functioning of the state. Patriotism is not transmitted through the genetic code, but formed in the society. Over the past two decades in Russia no ideological value has undergone such an evaluation as patriotism. After the collapse of the previous regime the governing structures have been trying to “resuscitate” patriotism as an integral element of the national mentality. Moreover, in the era of ubiquitous marketing, patriotism is not only instilled in the citizens, but also sold. Taking into account the socio-political context, enterprising people and public companies greatly expanded the range of “patriotic” products (T-shirts, hats, toys, dolls, puzzles, alphabet). The author analyzes the increasing distribution of patriotic ideas in Russia in the following areas: sports paraphernalia, souvenirs and home accessories.

Work Intervention

ABSTRAKT Amid the uncertainty of the current political context and an unprecedented institutional crisis in European welfare, this article offers a theoretical analysis of the problems arising from the historical reshaping of social work as a biopolitical organ of the state. It undertakes this analysis from a biopolitical perspective and asks how this framework can help us in defining the specific features of social work intervention in family life? To properly answer, the article proposes a methodological understanding which explicates a series of relations between “biopolitics – the social – social work”. To this end, supported by analyses from Foucault and Donzelot, the article shows how social work as a form of state governmentality intervenes in the lives of families to normalise behaviour and conduct. From a critical vantage point, these findings compel us to re-examine the problem of consent and consensus when working with service users and families in the midst of an increasingly more controlling authoritarian social work.

Juridical Encounters: Māori and the Colonial Courts, 1840-1852 by Shaunnagh Dorsett is an engaging and nuanced study of the development of colonial laws and institutions in Aotearoa New Zealand and the expansion of the jurisdiction of state law that begins in this period. The issues explored in the book –  relating to the relationship between the law of the settler state and Indigenous law; the recognition of Māori law by the state legal system; and the authority with which Māori and state law speak – remain live issues today. Studying how those issues were addressed during the Crown colony period helps us to understand the current relationship between Māori law and state law, how we arrived at this point, and, crucially, it helps us to think about how to approach that relationship with legal techniques appropriate to the social and political context and objectives of the 21st century.

The nature of religious education in Norwegian schools has been conditioned by the relationship between the state and the church. Hence the question: “Does Norway guarantee freedom of thought, belief and religion?” The main aim of the paper is to analyze the changes in the relationships between the state and the church, the state and religion as well as the location of Religious Education in Norwegian schools in the historical, juridical, social, and political context. The aims and scopes of religious education together with curricula in the comprehensive schools seem to be exceptional among European states. The social changes, including immigration from states with a different cultural background, and the rise of the humanities impact the changes in Norway and the Norwegian Church.

This paper explores the charitable work of Buddhist women who work as petty traders in Hồ Chí Minh City. By focusing on the social interaction between givers and recipients, it examines the traders’ class identity, their perception of social stratification, and their relationship with the state. Charitable work reveals the petty traders’ negotiations with the state and with other social groups to define their moral and social status in Vietnam’s society. These negotiations contribute to their self-identification as a moral social class and to their perception of trade as ethical labor.

The article deals with the issues of functioning of the social insurance institution, the organizational-legal and financial forms of which are presented by the state extrabudgetary social funds - Pension Fund of Russia, Mandatory Social Insurance Fund and Mandatory Health Insurance Fund. It considers the main characteristics of social insurance: a) scope of covering the employed population by insurance protection; b) contribution rates as related to wages; c) level of protection of population incomes (pensions and benefits as related to wages and subsistence minimum); d) availability of quality medical assistance and rehabilitation services. There are analyzed the present social risks and problems of the RF insurance system. The main problem is that the amount of financial expenditures on all types of social insurance per beneficiary is about half that of most developed and developing countries. The primary cause is lacking motivation of both employees and employers to participate in the mandatory social insurance and to legalize their earnings. In the conclusion there are formulated a number of proposals for improvement of the institution of social insurance in Russia. It is proposed to expand the range of insurance cases concerning unemployment insurance and care for elderly people, to increase the total amount of compulsory contributions to extrabudgetary insurance funds from 30.2% up to 42.5% from three sources - employees, employers and the state.
