Regional Basis

At the National Conference on Learning from Taching in Industry, held in Peking in May 1977, vice-premier of the State Council, Yu Ch'iu-li, first publicly mentioned the recreation of regional “economic systems.” Although there has been no reference to any administration for governing these regions, the use of the term “systems” (t'i-hsi), which must be “established,” suggests organized co-ordination on a regional basis. Several Hong Kong-based journals that report on current Chinese economic or political developments took note of Yu's remarks, speculating, respectively, that they were to serve economic development or defence goals, or that they might represent a concession to provincial leaders demanding autonomy. Thereafter, no further word of these regions surfaced for over four months. Then, in mid-September, in an article on socialist construction, the State Planning Commission drew attention again to these regions.

The article examines the results of market reforms in Kazakhstan in the post-Soviet period, comparing the past and present. For 30 years, the market economy has decided only some of the most pressing issues of the economy. The full transition to private ownership, which began in the 1990s, is already in its infancy. To get out of the current crisis in Kazakhstan, it is necessary to change the direction of economic development. The state must take responsibility for these changes. The result in the country should be a model of mixed economy, offering different forms of ownership. At the same time, the state must control the spheres that facilitate the lives of people and play a key role in the security of the country.

The Pacific

Chapter 5 discusses how, in the past three decades, black southern Pacific traditional music has been recast as a touchstone for cultural difference through its mobilization by black artists, activists, and intellectuals and the Colombian state. Positing black identity in Colombia depended on what might be called a politics of resemblance, the couching of local black cultural practices in such a way as to be recognizable as legitimate bearers of credible difference. Once adopted by the state in the 1991 multicultural Constitution, the music of the Pacific has been taken up in a context of neoliberal multiculturalism, as a resource for a variety of divergent and even contradictory agendas, including economic development, social amelioration, governance, and local activism.

In this work we are dealing with the possible and more likely development ideas and opportunities which could happen in Serbia. These ideas are based on the Governmental policies and even more on the need of the Serbian economy and its citizens. For a long period of time the economy was struggling and every small step towards development is noticeable. Apart from having the same idea of joining the EU different governments in the past and now claim that they will lead Serbia on the shortest and most efficient path to the EU. Their political ideas differ somehow but certainly the decisions they are making are just following one pattern. Everyday citizens and businesses just experience the same as in any other country which has its economy in transition. Much depends on the determination to make a certain step towards economic development. Sometimes it looks like the steps were made with a big delay and that everyone except the government was ready to certain changes. Some big structural changes are not properly done and there is not enough care taken of parallel practices of states in transition. The new procedure of debt collection in Serbia is done with an intention to make debtors pay more easily. Unfortunately on the end we see that the system does not work perfectly since the state itself has some problems of getting its tax money collected. In every aspect of life we see a big influence of politics to the economy, some would say that there is no economy without being involved in politics. This unfortunate situation is following Serbia and many Western Balkan countries for a long period of time. It is hard to expect economic development with such a bad attitude which is somehow always proved in practice. The redistribution of wealth is also problematic, having in mind that the tax policy serves only as a tool to fill the budget which is anyway not just in the sense of just redistribution. The budget of Serbia has many loopholes and certainly the current economic development is not ready to support it. There is a clear need to adjust politics to economy and make the state treat better the hand which is feeding it.

Regional Economic Model

I use Gramsci's notion of hegemony to analyze how Mexican governments have reproduced the neoliberal state over the past twenty-five years. Hegemony is a spatially-contingent process of consensus and coercion that explains how dominant economic and political policies take shape. In the case of Mexico, I examine the rise of new political elites (technocrats), their attempts at reshaping the corporatist consensus through social pacts, and their use of a regional economic model as national archetype for economic development. More specifically, this analysis employs labor politics to illustrate how the government uses consensus and coercion to maintain the state as the privileged space for shaping the hegemonic geographies of economic development in Mexico.

In the past decade or so there have been several critical revisions of the long-accepted view of the important role of the state in Japan's economic development and programme of modernization generally. Professor Harry Oshima has attempted to demolish the argument that the Meiji governments' policies were at all economically beneficial. On the contrary, he has said, those policies retarded growth, particularly through their neglect of agriculture. Professor Hugh Patrick has cautioned us against giving the Meiji governments too much credit for the development of the banking system. Private enterprise, he has insisted, was also important. Most recently, Professor Kozo Yamamura has delivered yet another broadside against what he considers the myths of Japanese economic history. This time he criticizes the view that the government, by intervening and pioneering model plants, played a significant role in Meiji Japan's industrial dcvelopment.

Successful examples of legal support privatization in a number of developed foreign countries are analyzed. In particular, the main attention was paid to the analysis of the experience of legal support privatization in developed and democratic countries of North America and Western Europe. The possibility and peculiarity of the procedure of introduction of specific forms and methods of legal support of the processes related to privatization in Ukraine are established. It is stated that privatization is one of the most significant phenomena both in the economy of a particular state and in society as a whole. It is noted that the proper legal enforcement and support of all privatization-related processes determine whether the economic development and prosperity of the state will take place, or, conversely, it will decline and suffer significant losses. It is noted that in connection with the gradual rapprochement of Ukraine with European states and their standards, the problem of inventing the most appropriate and relevant privatization of certain state or municipal enterprises is becoming more acute. At the same time, researchers prefer to conduct a qualitative analysis of the processes of privatization of state property that has taken place in the past in more detail, based on certain newly discovered facts. Among other things, it is considered necessary to check whether the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of citizens, as well as the state, have been violated during the privatization process.Keywords: Privatization Legal Support; Implementation; Effective Activity; Qualitative Regulation; Research of Processes and PhenomenaPengalaman Asing Dalam Privatisasi Dukungan Hukum dan Peluang Penerapannya di Ukraina AbstrakContoh sukses privatisasi dukungan hukum di sejumlah negara maju asing dianalisis. Secara khusus, perhatian utama diberikan pada analisis pengalaman privatisasi dukungan hukum di negara-negara maju dan demokratis di Amerika Utara dan Eropa Barat. Kemungkinan dan kekhasan prosedur pengenalan bentuk khusus dan metode dukungan hukum dari proses yang terkait dengan privatisasi di Ukraina ditetapkan. Disebutkan bahwa privatisasi adalah salah satu fenomena paling signifikan baik dalam perekonomian suatu negara tertentu maupun dalam masyarakat secara keseluruhan. Penegakan hukum yang tepat dan dukungan dari semua proses terkait privatisasi menentukan apakah pembangunan ekonomi dan kemakmuran negara akan berlangsung, atau sebaliknya, akan menurun dan menderita kerugian yang signifikan. Sehubungan dengan pemulihan hubungan Ukraina secara bertahap dengan negara-negara Eropa dan standar mereka, masalah menciptakan privatisasi yang paling tepat dan relevan dari perusahaan negara bagian atau kota tertentu menjadi lebih akut. Pada saat yang sama, peneliti lebih memilih untuk melakukan analisis kualitatif terhadap proses privatisasi barang milik negara yang telah terjadi di masa lalu secara lebih rinci, berdasarkan fakta-fakta tertentu yang baru ditemukan. Antara lain, dipandang perlu untuk memeriksa apakah hak, kebebasan, dan kepentingan sah warga negara, serta negara, telah dilanggar selama proses privatisasi.Kata Kunci: Dukungan Hukum Privatisasi; Pelaksanaan; Kegiatan Efektif; Regulasi Kualitatif; Penelitian Proses dan Fenomena. Зарубежный опыт правового обеспечения приватизации и возможность его использования в УкраинеАннотацияПроанализированы успешные примеры правового обеспечения приватизации в ряде развитых зарубежных стран. В частности, основное внимание было уделено анализу опыта правового обеспечения приватизации в развитых и демократических странах Северной Америки и Западной Европы. Установлены особенность процедуры введения конкретных форм и методов правового обеспечения процессов, связанных с приватизацией в Украине. Констатировано, что приватизация является одной из наиболее значимых явлений как в экономике конкретного государства, так и в обществе в целом. От надлежащего правового обеспечения и сопровождения всех связанных с приватизацией процессов зависит будет ли происходить экономическое развитие и процветание государства, или же наоборот она испытывает упадок и получит существенные убытки. В связи с постепенным приближением Украины к европейским государствам и их стандартов, все более остро встает проблема изобретение наиболее уместного и актуального проведения приватизации определенных государственных или коммунальных предприятий. Вместе с тем, исследователи предпочитают более детализировано, опираясь на определенные вновь открывшиеся факты, провести качественный анализ тех процессов приватизации государственной собственности, которые произошли в прошлом. Среди прочего, признается необходимым проверить, не были ли нарушены при проведении приватизации права, свободы и законные интересы граждан, а также интересы государства.Ключевые слова: приватизация, правовое обеспечение, эффективная деятельность, качественная регламентация, исследования процессов и явлений

The past twelve months have witnessed the devastation of Rwanda. More than one half million people were murdered by the Rwandan army and the associated civilian militias, while over two million people fled the country after the death of former President Juvenal Habyarimana. The Rwandan Patriotic Front, which emerged in exile over the past thirty years and now dominates the government in Kigali, faces a dilemma: how does it consolidate its position amongst its core supporters, many of whom grew up in exile and recently returned to Rwanda, while at the same time gain the confidence of the domestic population, many of whom have recently fled? Resolving this dilemma is the central task for the regime, and is critical to the future political and economic development of the country.In spite of its stated desire to create a broad-based government, the core of RPF support lies on a perilously narrow base, located as much outside of the country as inside. Domestically, the country is in ruins. The exodus of refugees resulted in the collapse of production and of the state.
