Contemporary Approach

The article presents a comparative study on abortion legislation in Poland and New Zealand. It includes a historical overview of the social and political influences shaping the contemporary approach to abortion in these countries. The aim of the article is to discuss the changes to the Polish and New Zealand abortion legislation and the current procedures required to access abortion. This article highlights differences in approaches to this issue in both countries where abortion laws have evolved recently in opposite directions. In New Zealand, after removing abortion from the Crimes Act 1961, abortion ceased to be the subject to criminal law, while in Poland where one of the strictest anti-abortion laws had been in force already, a ban was imposed on abortion which made it practically impossible for women to access legal abortions.

Although seemingly ideal, the current situation is a fragile one. Under current legislation, abortion is criminalised and legal access to it relies on gaining the approval of two certifying consultant physicians. In this report, we provide an historical overview of the social and political influences shaping New Zealand’s current approach to abortion, considering the consequences of having abortion governed by criminal law. The situation in New Zealand is used to support a proposal that a pragmatic liberal feminist approach to abortion is best for women where it is a medical matter rather than a legal or moral one.

Global Conference

Drawing on observations at the 2017 Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF) – a global conference held in Christchurch, New Zealand – this paper examines the significance of localised event spaces in shaping economic subjects and, by extension, economic sectors. Conferences such as the SEWF are sites and moments that provide access to new knowledge, foster collective action and shape the subjectivities of economic actors. We describe how the SEWF cultivated sympathetic affective responses towards social enterprise and the subject position of the social entrepreneur, and demonstrate how the local specificities of Christchurch, as a place, were key to the cultivation of social-entrepreneurial subjectivity at the SEWF.

Fighting to Choose is a fascinating, meticulously researched history of the struggle to liberalise New Zealand’s abortion laws. It examines why there is still no right to have an abortion in a progressive country like New Zealand, which has a strong record of promoting women’s rights, and why it is that an unsatisfactory abortion law, that was passed 35 years ago, is still on the statute books.

Kingdom Of Yugoslavia

The author gives a detailed analysis of the 1929 Criminal Code paragraphs that pertain to abortion. Analyzing the social indications, the paper also explains the methodological inability to determine the precise number of abortions performed during the 1930s. However, the subject of this paper is not solely an exploration of legal regulations on abortions, but rather the identification of the treatment of women in the Yugoslav Kingdom?s Criminal law from this point of view. Considering that the problem of induced abortions was approached from the existing conservative- patriarchal socio- political position, the press was often the key source for analyzing and documenting this problem. Precisely because of this fact, the paper presents an affair that revolved around the work of gynaecologist Pance Stojanovic in mid-summer 1936. This case showed the deep corruption of the Yugoslav society, but also the involvement of various representatives of power in this affair. It turned out that the patients were women from different backgrounds, but that girls and women from affluent families were far more numerous. Faced with the increasing number of fatalities following induced abortions, doctors at the 17th Congress of the Serbian Medical Association called for changes to the articles of the Yugoslav Criminal Code relating to abortion.

The article analyzes the subject of a bribe from the standpoint of criminal law of Republic of Belarus and forensic science. In most cases forensic description of the subject of a bribe is based on its criminal law characteristics, but it does not reflect its forensic features. In the theory of criminal law, bribe is considered as the subject of a crime. But from the outlook of the forensic (material) structure of crimes related to bribery, the subject of a bribe, depending on the situation, may not only be the subject of a crime, but also the subject of criminal encroachment. This results from the attitude of the bribe taker to the subject before it is received. For example, if the bribe taker demands (extorts) money or property, then they are the subject of criminal infringement. According to the author, the bribe requirement increases the social danger of an act, regardless of whether it is accompanied by the threat of harmful consequences for a citizen who is in legal relations with an official. This leads to the need for improvement of the Belarus criminal law, particularly the replacement of the term «extortion of a bribe» to the term «demand a bribe» in the relevant provision of the Criminal Code of the Rebublic.

The One

Se considera a la modernización administrativa un proceso histórico concreto en el que se producen transformaciones en la gestión pública de los Estados liberal-democráticos de los que España forma parte. Su principal característica procede de la modificación en las formas de prestación de los servicios públicos, que afectan a dos dimensiones respecto a sus antecedentes inmediatos, por una parte la privatización de sus relaciones con el entorno social y por otra la tecnificación de sus métodos de organización y gestión. Si bien la Administración pública es el sujeto de dichos cambios basados en políticas públicas destinadas a ella, su marco jurídico constituye el objeto más relevante para el funcionamiento del Estado de Derecho, sustrato definitorio de la eficacia y razón de ser de su organización y actividad.The administrative modernization is considered a concrete historical process in which changes occur in the public management of democratic liberal states of which Spain is a part. Its main feature is from the change in the ways of delivering public services, involving two dimensions relative to its immediate antecedents, on the one hand, privatization of its relationship with the social environment and on the other the modernization of its methods of organization and management. While public administration is the subject of such changes based on public policies aimed at her, its legal framework constitutes the most important object for the operation of the rule of law, definitor of the efficacy and rationale of its organization and activity.

Procedural Basis

Attempts to restructure the legal framework for combating crime in the economic sphere through changes in the criminal law are doomed to failure. The criminal legal system for combating crime, including its economic segment, should be built on a criminal procedural basis. Prosecution and trial should be considered the main elements of criminal procedure. The application of means of criminal law to the subjects of business crimes should be carried out by a court with the participation of a jury. The subject of litigation must be a public or private charge.
