The features of accounting policy formation are considered in the article taking into account the provisions of the current regulatory framework. The international practice of regulation of accounting policies of the enterprise from the adoption of the first IAS to the present day is investigated. The terms given in domestic legislation and foreign regulations are compared. The role, objectives and significance of accounting policies in an entity's activities are determined. In addition, a list of factors that influence the process of accounting policies and the choice of its elements. The impact of each of them is investigated. The comparative analysis of changes in some legal acts affecting accounting policy is made. It has been established that changes in legislation directly affect the accounting policy-making process. Thus, the addition of the term "accounting policy" contributes to the full disclosure of its essence. Because accounting policies are intended to facilitate, first of all, accounting and then the formation of financial statements. Supplementation of other articles influences the formation of certain elements of accounting policy, which form both methodical component, organizational and technical. The basic normative legal acts regulating the formation and use of accounting policies of an enterprise in Ukraine are given. It is stated that these normative legal acts do not regulate the structure of the accounting policy order, thus bringing this issue to the attention of the head and the chief accountant. In this connection, the standard structure of the accounting policy order is outlined and the stages of its formation are set out, which is not specified in the current regulatory framework. It is proposed to develop and introduce a separate P (C) IAS, which would regulate exclusively the issue of accounting policy formation, indicating the structure of the accounting policy order and the stages of its formation. As a result of the study, conclusions and suggestions were formed.

Bureaucracies often provide information to legislatures in an effort to influence the agenda. This paper assesses whether data affects this influence, arguing quantitative support can increase the likelihood of legislative discussion and passage of bills related to a given topic. I also assess the impact of centralization on an agency’s ability to provide information and shape legislative agendas. I find including data in bureaucratic reports can significantly increase an agency’s influence on the legislature, but this effect is only present in a centralized setting. These results suggest centralized agencies are better equipped to marshal quantitative support for arguments to legislatures.

This chapter examines the European Union’s policy-making process with a comparative perspective. It outlines the stages of the policy-making process (agenda-setting, policy formation, decision-making, implementation, and policy feedback) and considers the prevailing approaches to analysing each of these stages. It also shows how these approaches apply to studying policy-making in the EU. Themes addressed in this chapter include policy-making and the policy cycle, the players in the policy process, executive politics, legislative politics, and judicial politics. The chapter argues that theories rooted in comparative politics and international relations can help elucidate the different phases of the EU’s policy process. It concludes by explaining why policy-making varies across issue areas within the EU.

The paper discusses the role of public opinion in the foreign policy-making process of liberal democracies. Contrary to prevailing assumptions, public opinion matters. However, the impact of public opinion is determined not so much by the specific issues involved or by the particular pattern of public attitudes as by the domestic structure and the coalition-building processes among the elites in the respective country. The paper analyzes the public impact on the foreign policy-making process in four liberal democracies with distinct domestic structures: the United States, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, and Japan. Under the same international conditions and despite similar patterns of public attitudes, variances in foreign policy outcomes nevertheless occur; these have to be explained by differences in political institutions, policy networks, and societal structures. Thus, the four countries responded differently to Soviet policies during the 1980s despite more or less comparable trends in mass public opinion.

AbstractThis article examines the impact of economic crisis on the process of regionalization in Belgium and the influence of both on the balance of centrifugal and centripetal forces in the Belgian political system. It argues that the usual approach to this suject, which identifies centripetal forces with the national government and centrifugal forces with regional governments, misses the possibility that important proponents of further fragmentation may be located at the national level. The economic crisis of the early 1980s did lead to an increase in centrifugal pressures in the system but not to an increase in the power of the new regional executives. Rather, it led to a major rearrangement of the economic policy-making process at the national level.
