Critical Legal Theory

The distinction between private and public is both central to much legal and political thought and subject to serious challenge on philosophical, practical and political grounds by critics of the status quo. Privacy – the state of being withdrawn from the world, free from public attention, interference or intrusion – is a cherished social value that is being offered ever more protection. Increasingly, laws require people to respect the privacy of others: privacy is recognized as a fundamental right in international documents and national constitutions, and recent customs and social norms forbid intrusions that were once accepted. The concept of privacy is also widely abused: it has been used to justify private racial discrimination and state neglect of domestic violence, as well as social abdication of general economic welfare through laissez-faire policies and the so-called privatization of social services. Critique of the public–private distinction is an important part of many critical theories, especially feminism and critical legal theory. These critics object that the public–private distinction is exaggerated, manipulable or incoherent.

Justice Theories

The concept of modernity has long been central to legal theory. It is an intrinsically temporal concept, expressly or implicitly defined in contrast to pre-modernity. Legal theorists sometimes draw comparisons between, on the one hand, various post-Renaissance positivist, liberal, realist or critical theories, and, on the other hand, the classical natural law or justice theories of antiquity or the middle ages, including such figures as Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine or Aquinas. Many theorists, however, while acknowledging superficial differences among the various classical theories, fail to appreciate the variety and complexity of pre-modern thought. Unduly simplifying pre-modern understandings of law, they end up drawing false distinctions between modern and pre-modern legal theory. The pre-modern example considered in this article is Plato. Unlike scholars within the Humanities, who have continued to revise their approaches to pre-modern thought (often reflecting changes in ethical or political thought today), legal theorists, including many who claim to challenge much of traditional positivism, have scarcely moved beyond traditional positivists’ ahistorical and reductionist views.

It is not transparently obvious why legal theorists are increasingly attracted to the ideas and methods of Ludwig Wittgenstein. After all, Wittgenstein’s writings are notoriously difficult and he said almost nothing, and certainly nothing sustained, about law. And why would self-proclaimed legal theorists be attracted to someone who was quite explicitly hostile to “theory”, who viewed philosophy as a sort of therapy, and who said, famously, “philosophy leaves everything as it is”? But a still more interesting question is, why has Wittgenstein received such curious and conflicting treatment at the hands of the critical legal theorists? On the one hand critical legal theory celebrates Wittgenstein’s work as a key to the dismantling of traditional jurisprudence, but on the other hand critical scholars bemoan his alleged debilitating endorsement of the status quo. It is this last question upon which this essay is focussed.

State Language

Today, the formation of conditions for the development of the state language is one of the strategic tasks of the country's further development. And in this regard, the most important area of implementation of the language policy is the public life of the country as a whole. The new socio-political realities of Kazakhstan as a sovereign state require a language policy that meets the needs of the country's multi-ethnic population and takes into account the peculiarities of the language, demographic and political situation. President of the Republic of Kazakhstan N.A. Nazarbayev attaches great importance to the problems of language and language policy in the country. In his work "To preserve memory and strengthen harmony", he points out that "... everything must be done to ensure that the language of the titular nation, as it is sometimes said, is in demand for life - in the public service, in production, in science, and in education, as well as Russian, should become a guide to action for all of us. The desire to respect other languages without showing concern for the native language means a lack of respect for the honor and dignity of one's own people. The independence of language also means the independence of every person's thinking and is a fundamental condition of state sovereignty." The problem of the state language, which has been the subject of heated discussions for many years, still cannot find a solution. Despite the fact that the Kazakh language has the status of the state language, we still do not dare to demand its knowledge from civil servants. The Supreme power has tried several times to introduce this rule without fail, but has met with active opposition. And this problem has not yet found its solution. The language policy of the state, the current situation and prospects for the development of the Kazakh language are always in the center of public attention.

The goal of this study is to define (or find out) where Hungary currently stands in the development of e-Administration solutions. The issue is more topical than ever, as infocommunications became an integral part of our daily lives, affecting both the private and public sectors, and changing our ways of working – thus, it requires our understanding. When it comes to the public sector, however, striking changes can only be achieved if the entire process of public administration is (or would be) changed. The goals are clear: work should be faster, as it would result in satisfied clients, cut costs and more efficient procedures. The question to ask now is where Hungary stands in this endeavour. Are we on the right track?

With the challenges posed by the intermittent nature of renewable energy, energy storage technology is the key to effectively utilize renewable energy. China’s energy storage industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years. In order to reveal how China develops the energy storage industry, this study explores the promotion of energy storage from the perspective of policy support and public acceptance. Accordingly, by tracing the evolution of the energy storage policies during 2010–2020 comprehensively, a better understanding of the policy intention and implementation can be obtained. Meanwhile, this paper collects the information of Weibo users and posts related to energy storage by web crawler technology. The status of public attention and sentiment orientation toward energy storage are investigated with a text mining method. The main results are as follows. 1) The evolution of energy storage is characterized by three stages: the foundation stage, the nurturing stage, and the commercialization stage. 2) Most people have a positive attitude towards energy storage and recognize the potential of the energy storage industry, and it is discovered that the public attitudes towards energy storage exist cognitive bias. 3) More policies concerning market mechanism, R&D, and subsidies should be introduced to enhance the effect of energy storage policies and increase public recognition. These findings help to understand the energy storage policy and provide better strategies for policymaking.

The status of Jewish identity in cases of conversion to another religion is a contentious issue and was brought to the forefront of public attention with the 1962 court case of Oswald Rufeisen, a Jewish convert to Christianity known as Br. Daniel, which led to a shift in the way that the state of Israel defines Jewish identity for the purposes of citizenship. At the same time, however, another test case in conflicting interpretations of Jewish identity after conversion was playing out in Rufeisen’s own monastery, hidden to the public eye. Of the fifteen monks who lived together in the Stella Maris Monastery in Haifa, two were Jewish converts, both of whom converted during the Second World War and later immigrated to Israel. Both outspoken advocates for their own understanding of Jewish identity, Rufeisen and his fellow Carmelite Fr. Elias Friedman expressed interpretations of Jewish-Christian religious identity that are polarized and even antagonistically oppositional at times. This paper argues that the intimately related histories and opposing interpretations of Rufeisen and Friedman parallel the historical contestation between Judaism and Christianity. It investigates their overlapping and yet divergent views, which magnify questions of Jewish identity, Catholic interpretations of Judaism, Zionism, Holocaust narratives, and proselytism.

The indicators that determine the change in the macroeconomic situation in the economy of Azerbaijan in 2010–2017, as well as the conditions for increasing the effectiveness of state intervention in solving economic problems are analyzed. It is noted that it is not the size of the public sector that becomes important, but its qualitative component (management and redistribution of resources and revenues, coordination of government intervention in economic relations). The main reasons limiting economic growth are identified, and the mechanisms for overcoming them are disclosed, since economic growth is of particular importance in the transformational period of state development. It substantiates the assertion that the forms and methods of state regulation should be the result of a reasonable combination of the private and public sectors of the economy to more effectively achieve the goal of economic development of the country and increase the welfare of the population. To this end, it is advisable to limit the actions of market forces and find a rational ratio of market and government measures that stimulate economic growth and development.It is shown that in the near future the development of the economy of Azerbaijan should be focused on the transition to the integration of various models of economic transformation; at the same time, “attraction of investments” should be carried out by methods of stimulating consumption, and the concept of a socially oriented economy, which the state also implements, should prevail, thereby ensuring social protection of the population and at the same time developing market relations. Disproportions in regional and sectoral development are also noted, which are the result of an ineffective distribution of goods produced, inadequate investment in human capital, a low level of coordination and stimulation of economic growth and development.
