Exclusive Focus

Scholarly analysis of financial crime, its modus operandi, and the characters involved have almost exclusively been focused on the activities of the elite and the powerful for decades. Recommendations on how to minimise its debilitating impact have always, also, been focused on the elite, the powerful, and the state institutions they control. Corruption and financial crime are the pastime of people at the top only. This overview contends that perpetration of financial crime by the powerless can be just as corrosive and harmful as that perpetrated by the powerful. The quality of criminality and its pervasiveness is as relevant as its quantum and location. Exclusive focus on the higher echelons of financial crime subsumes its roots and significance within society, thereby leading to the lop-sidedness of proposed remedies. This chapter seeks to establish the nexus between low- and high-level financial crime as a way of providing a more holistic view of the depth of its effect, especially in less sophisticated economic environments.

Preserving the health of the population occupies a special place at the legislative level, in the socio-economic strategies for the development of regions and the country as a whole. The preservation of human health depends not only on one’s own desire to preserve it, including the current state of the state and the development of the country’s tourism industry. Recreation and recreation for modern people, who mainly live in cities and megacities characterized by a high level of pollution due to the intensity of economic activity, are of particular importance for maintaining health and life expectancy. An increase in people’s life expectancy is considered at the state level as an important indicator of people’s well-being, improving the level and quality of life. Russia has created unique conditions and opportunities for the development of domestic tourism, which, with reasonable organization, investments, including the creation of public-private partnerships, and improving the efficiency of services provided, allow us to carry out our activities in the field of preserving and maintaining public health, increasing the duration and quality of life. Domestic Russian tourism can be considered as the basis for the socio-economic development of territories at any level, as well as as an industry whose contribution to the country’s GDP can be significant.

In recent years, Serbia has established itself as a leading destination for FDI thanks to its generous policy aimed at attracting direct investment. In this paper we look at the labour market effects of the policy of incentivised direct investment, first from a sectoral and regional perspective, and then by taking a holistic view at its impact on the overall labour market and economic development. We find that this policy has contributed to overall sectoral rebalancing of the labour market by increasing manufacturing jobs. It has also contributed to regional labour market rebalancing, most notably in improving the quality of employment in less developed regions and in stabilizing the shares of regional wage funds. Still, labour market, educational and infrastructure cleavages between regions remain very large. The transformational potential of Serbian labour market is far from being fully exploited, and Serbia still needs to sustain high level of investment in manufacturing jobs while at the same time supporting the gradual shift toward high-technology investment.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the issue of determining the role and place of the bar in the state. The urgency of this issue was a consequence of the adoption in June 2016 of the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to the Constitution of Ukraine (regarding justice)" of 02.06.2016 № 1401-VIII. Summary of the main research results. According to which the Constitution of Ukraine was supplemented by Article 131-2, which stipulates that the bar operates in Ukraine to provide professional legal assistance, and only a lawyer represents another person in court, as well as protection from criminal charges, except in certain cases. Thus, the bar, together with the prosecutor's office, was included in the justice system. Thus, the bar becomes one of the key elements of the justice system in Ukraine, as the most important constitutional function of the bar is to ensure the right to protection from criminal prosecution and representation of individuals and legal entities in court. By delegating the relevant function of the bar, the state must ensure a high level of professional legal assistance provided by lawyers, which, in turn, has a significant impact on the quality of justice and the exercise of the right to a fair trial. By delegating the relevant function of the bar, the state must ensure a high level of professional legal assistance provided by lawyers, which, in turn, has a significant impact on the quality of justice and the exercise of the right to a fair trial. At the same time, the Constitution of Ukraine provides for the independence of the bar, and the current Law of Ukraine "On Advocacy and Advocacy" generally indicates that the Bar of Ukraine is a non-governmental self-governing institution. Conclusions. The Ukrainian Bar is a professional public association. The National Bar Association of Ukraine is recognized as a non-governmental non-profit professional organization. In turn, the bar is endowed with public law functions, and the inclusion of non-state actors in the system of public power is designed to create an effective mechanism of public control over the activities of the state.

The relevance of the topic of the article is that the implementation of legal procedures within a particular branch of law requires a clear establishment and definition of key stages, procedures, patterns and subjective composition of the latter. That is, we are talking about the legal regulation of legal processes, the high level of quality of which directly affects the effectiveness and efficiency of the relevant sequences of legally significant actions. Official investigations in the prosecutor's office in this aspect are no exception, so it is appropriate to analyze the current state of their legal regulation. Determining the state of legal regulation of official investigations in the prosecutor's office requires a full understanding of the features and internal nature of this category. Note that legal regulation has a deep theoretical basis. It can be pointed out that legal regulation in a separate part is an expression of the content of the principle of the rule of law, that is, it is an indicator of the action of law as the main regulator of social relations. However, there are other features of this category that are important to outline within this article. The article, based on the analysis of scientific views of scientists, offers the author's vision on the interpretation of the concept of legal regulation of official investigations in the prosecutor's office of Ukraine. Emphasis is placed on the specifics of the mechanism of legal regulation of official investigations in the prosecutor's office and identified features of its structure. The general assessment of the state of legal regulation of official investigations in the prosecutor's office is given. It is concluded that at the present stage the legal regulation of official investigations in the prosecutor's office is disordered in its internal structure. Yes, there is a corresponding dissonance between the status and the practice of applying official investigations. The procedure for this procedure, the subject composition, the local legal framework, as well as other mechanical features of official investigations are developed and have the appropriate forms of operation. At the same time, the status and purpose of official investigations in the prosecutor's office, their connection with disciplinary proceedings, principles, as well as the general place in the field of official discipline of prosecutors in modern realities are not properly regulated.

The activity of the State Financial Monitoring Service on detection and processing of information of risky financial transactions and its cooperation with foreign divisions of financial investigations is described. The most popular countries in which there are entities with a suspicious reputation for financial transactions are identified.

The State Technology Agency (STA) is accountable for delivering e-government services for a state in the United States. One of its major responsibilities is to develop and maintain the state portal. As the result of challenges that it has encountered, the STA has developed a holistic view of state portal applications evolution and management. The case examines the three perspectives of Web application evolution — applications, processes, and services — and illustrates how application evolution dynamics are impacted by their interplay. The STA case also reinforces the importance of defining and applying processes to manage application evolution; it is the execution of application evolution processes that determines whether the services delivered fulfill customers’ expectations, and it is only through monitoring the outcomes of application evolution processes and quality of delivered services that opportunities for improved/enhanced applications are identified. The case also illustrates the importance of integrating tools with evolution processes to deliver/monitor better services and portal applications.

The most successful fight against COVID-19 is demonstrated by countries with effective state institutions, which have become absolutely critical when confronting SARS-CoV-2: from quarantine restrictions, equipping hospitals and providing financial assistance packages to national economies to developing COVID vaccines, deployment of their production and mass vaccination of the population until the formation of collective immunity. These countries are not only centers of highly adaptable business, but also of first-class research centers and leading pharmaceutical companies that have offered the world effective COVID developments and their mass production. However, the rapid application of this creative potential would be impossible without effective government regulation. After all, the price of a purely market response to SARS-CoV-2 is prohibitively high due to the inevitable loss of time and human lives in the formation of private funds sufficient to begin the development of COVID vaccines, their production, mass vaccination and the emergence of collective immunity. Thus, government regulation has become a key factor in transforming COVID vaccines into the public good. However, due to the different quality of such regulation in different countries, this benefit has signs of “nationality”: the first to receive it are wealthy countries, developers of COVID vaccines and their closest partners, which have a high level of governance. Countries deprived of such institutional advantages have found themselves trapped by COVID-19 in the already narrow corridor of their financial capabilities. Moreover, the way out of this trap is often associated with political demands, the nature of which quite often does not apply to SARS-CoV-2 or national conditions for overcoming it.

Authors demonstrate that the influence of globalization is contradictory with respect to the socio-cultural sphere and causes transformation of moral and ethical values and changes traditional manifestations of the human capital subjectivity. In this regard, the problem of a new subjectivity arises in scientific discourse, the understanding of which does not contradict the established concept of personality subjectivity, while at the same time supplementing it with the specific psychophysical features of the carriers of this subjectivity. A new subjectivity can manifest (and manifests) itself in a situational change in the ways of self-realization, depending on the circumstances. Under conditions of unpredictability of moral transformation, it is important to direct manifestations of subjectivity in favor of society, while simultaneously preventing negative consequences, and this mission should be performed by state institutions. Using the example of the educational sphere as the most important producer of human capital, it is proved that within the system itself there are carriers of a new subjectivity amongst the best representatives of the pedagogical environment, but they are still not enough for fundamental changes across the country, mainly because of bureaucratic obstacles to pedagogical creativity. It is assumed that the role of the state is crucial for the start of the desired changes in education, and it is advisable to focus on the priority efforts to improve the regulatory framework to release faculty’s creative potential and to provide institutions with modern resources for information and communication technologies. It is argued that in general the state policy of promoting positive manifestations of the new subjectivity will be effective if it relies on the interests of individuals and high-level groups of such subjectivity, using the modern capabilities of information and communication technologies to enhance network interaction between them. This is especially true during the global COVID-19 pandemic, since the activity of the carriers of a new subjectivity can contribute to the stabilization of society.
