This paper is an attempt to consider trust in terms of contemporary communicative ethics and its socio-philosophical context. Trust in state power is analyzed according to the theoretical principles of communicative philosophy (J. Habermas and K.-O. Apel). It is suggested that trust in state power is a prerequisite for a harmonious development of society. Trust is seen as a determinant contributing to the formation and disclosure of meaningful components of the dialogue between government and civil society institutions, which takes place on the basis of compliance with social norms such as responsibility, justice, tolerance, mutual understanding, equality and respect. It is argued that trust in the government is the most important factor in socio-political relations, the role of which has become increasingly important in recent years. As globalization develops, trust in power becomes more in demand, as its interests effectively co-ordinate the interests of world policy actors. Trust not only reduces transaction costs and strengthens international cooperation, but also builds new quality of relationships.

The subject of this article is the impact of Orthodox Church upon the development of civil society in Russia. The goal is to reveal the role of the Orthodox Church within the structure of Russian civil society, analyze the evolution of civil society in Russia, shed light on interaction between the government and civil society, and demonstrate what unites the Orthodox Church and civil society in Russia. The article leans on the “Fundamentals of Social Concept of the Russian Orthodox Church”, data of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation, public chamber of St. Petersburg, “Center for the Development of Nonprofit Organizations”, etc. The scientific novelty lies in disclosure of the role of Orthodox Church within the structure of Russian civil society; analysis of the evolution of civil society in Russia; clarification of the peculiarities of interaction between the government and civil society, as well as what unites the Orthodox Church and civil society in Russia. The conclusion is drawn that the role of Orthodox Church as the civil institution in political relations is defined by the following factors: 1) as the guardian of the highest religious values, the Church is the “sense of conscience” of the civil society; Church is the civil institution for defending the public interest; 3) Church is the interlink between the private and common interests, as well as ensures social integration; 4) Church is the guardian of not only personal faith, but collective identity as well. The religious majority tends to view their faith as a social “ethics”, while the religious minorities rather view it as ethnic affiliation.

AbstractSignificant transformations in the migratory landscape of Greece have been observed recently. In practice, the mixed flows of migrants and refugees have modified the role of Greece as a migrant-receiving country. Immigration, in terms of either transit or settled immigrants, has become a major policy issue; additionally, it has mobilized national authorities, international bodies as well as formal and informal civil society organizations. Changes in the immigration landscape, along with adverse economic conditions, has led to further efforts by public authorities in the effective management of refugee flows and reducing the risks of irregular stay for a significant number of migrants. Despite significant developments in the legislative framework for the integration of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers (MRAs) into the labor market, their access to employment remains more of a secondary issue for policy actors.

Menyadari betapa besar peranan negara dalam berbagai kehidupan masyarakat dan kekuasaan negara, maka kebebasan negara dalam arti pelaksanaan peraturan perundangn-undangan pada hakekatnya dilakukan oleh manusia itu sendiri. Oleh karena itu, yang pertama harus dilakukan adalah manusia sebagai penentu kebijakan hukum, dalam hal ini adalah para hakim yang terdidik, baik, cakap, disiplin, jujur, mentaati hukum, dan tidak rangkap jabatan. Untuk mewujudkan hal tersebut masih perlu adanya upaya untuk mendorong pihak yang berwenang untuk mengawasi dan membina hakim agar lebih menunjukan political will dengan meningkatkan kualitas pengawasan dan pembinaanya sehingga citra hakim pada khususnya dan peradilan pada umumnya semakin terangkat dan kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap hukum semakin baik. Untuk lebih mempertegas prinsip kekuasaan kehakiman yang memiliki asas kebebasan, kiranya perlu difikirkan kembali tentang disain dari struktur yudikatif di Indonesia, seyogyanya wewenang dan cakupan kekuasaan penyelenggara kekuasaan kehakiman diperluas dengan diserahkanya aspek-aspek administratif pada para penyelenggaranya. Dengan demikian para hakim tidak lagi ditempatkan pembinaan administratifnya pada pemerintah, sehingga penyelenggaraaan kekuasaan kehakiman betul-betul terpisah secara keseluruhan dengan penyelenggara kekuasaan lain. Bila hal ini dilakukan diharapkan kebebasan hakim akan terwujudkan dan keadilan dapat ditegakan di bumi pertiwi.Realizing how big the role of the state in the various life of society and state power, then the freedom of the state in the sense of the implementation of legislation is essentially done by the man himself. Therefore, the first thing to do is human beings as the determinants of legal policy, in this case the judges who are educated, good, competent, disciplined, honest, obey the law, and not double position. To realize this matter, there is still an effort to encourage the authorities to supervise and nurture the judges to show more political will by improving the quality of supervision and development so that the image of judges in particular and the judiciary in general is increasingly raised and the public's trust in law is getting better. To further reinforce the principle of judicial power which has a principle of freedom, it may be necessary to rethink about the design of the judicial structure in Indonesia, should the authority and scope of power of the judicial power organizers be expanded by the administrative aspects handed over to the organizers. Thus, the administrative coaching of the judges are no longer placed on the government, so that the exercise of judicial powers is completely separate as a whole with other branches of government. If this is done it is expected that the freedom of judges will be realized and justice can be established in the land of the earth.
