Criminal policy is part of state policy, defining the main objectives and means to influence crime through legislative activities related to change, first, criminal, criminal-procedural, criminal-executive legislation. Through a scientific methodology of a documentary nature, the objective of the research is to analyze the criminal and legal policy of the State in the fight against crimes related to bribery and other illegal remuneration. It should be noted that the criminal policy of crimes related to bribery and other illegal remuneration is currently in crisis. It is concluded that there is a tendency to increase the range of criminal acts related to illegal remuneration, to broaden the scope of the criminal regulation of liability for illegal remuneration by making changes and additions to the composition of offences related to illegal remuneration, and to criminalize new types of acts related to unlawful remuneration, which is associated with the assessment of the role of illegal remuneration as a particularly dangerous criminal phenomenon, which has a significant negative impact on protected public relations.

AbstractThe article focuses on one of the most intriguing and, at the same time, controversial issues of international criminal law: whether the state policy requirement should be considered as a constitutive element in core international crimes. Adopting a criminal policy perspective, my intention is to contribute to the ongoing discussion by offering a doctrinal and criminological corroboration of the position that answers in the affirmative. Nevertheless, I am not necessarily promoting a normative choice entailing the amendment of the definition of core international crimes, but I rather call for a policy choice of focusing on cases that presume a state policy component.

We study one of the varieties of legal nihilism – the legal nihilism of civil servants, which undermines the role of law as the main regulator of public relations, harms the socio-economic, moral, cultural and other activities of the state. We analyze official statistical data confirming the prevalence of legal nihilism among civil servants, which arises in the field of administrative management and replaces legalized public relations. We point out that the personnel policy is one of the ways to minimize the legal nihilism of civil servants, since it determines the effectiveness of the implementation of goals and tasks facing civil servants. In accordance with the regulatory legal acts, the basic requirements for the formation of the personnel of the civil service are analyzed. We substantiate that one of the effective means to reduce the level of legal nihilism among civil servants may be the adoption of a unified Concept of personnel policy in the field of public service, fixing the funda-mental principles (principles, areas of activity, goals, objectives, strategy for the formation of personnel of public servants), as well as the creation of ap-propriate Concepts in each department, taking into account the specifics of the functions being implemented. We note that only consistent and competent actions can have a positive impact.

This essay offers an overview of public relations history and historiography, using a review of a recently published book series as a starting point. In offering sometimes previously undocumented national histories and regional and non-US perspectives, National Perspectives on the Development of Public Relations: Other Voices opens up the field. However, the series also raises philosophical and methodological issues regarding the role of history, the positioning of public relations, tensions within the field and public relations’ relationship to societal communication and powerful strategic interests. Scholars have not always grounded their histories within wider historical literature that contextualises the public relations occupation and its role in a particular societal context. We argue that a renewed focus on historiography is needed to better address the influence of US progressivist accounts, the scientisation of western public relations and the narrow confines of the public relations discipline.

This article explores the influence of politics and institutions on poverty and inequality. It first considers the general contention that poverty is shaped by the combination of power resources and institutions. On one hand, scholars in the power resources tradition have emphasized the role of class-based collective political actors for mobilizing “power resources” in the state and economy. On the other hand, institutionalists have highlighted the role of formal rules and regulations. The article goes on to discuss the theoretical arguments of power resources theory and the evidence for key power resources (that is, collective political actors like labor unions and parties). It also reviews institutional explanations, focusing on the key concepts and theories and as well as the evidence linking the most salient institutions to poverty. Finally, it examines how state policy influences poverty and presents several challenges for future research.

Perhaps because the subject seemed so obvious, there has been little work done on women under fascism. This omission is unfortunate not only because Fascist policy was more complicated than the general impression of it but also because it offered an interesting example of the interaction between propaganda and reality in an authoritarian society. Women played an important role in several major propaganda campaigns of fascism, such as the ruralization policy and the battle to increase the birth rate. Concern for the role of women was at the heart of the conservative and stabilizing nature of fascism and, in so far as it meant the subjugation of the private lives of citizens to the demands of the State, policy towards women reflected the totalitarian and imperialistic side of fascism as well.

This article highlights the role of Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI, the Council of Indonesian Ulama) in making anti-pluralism discourse and practice which are evident in its fatwa on belief (Arabic: ‘aqīda). It begins with the explanation of MUI which in the first three decades of its establishment was a fatwa body that supported pluralism, but since the downfall of the authoritarian Suharto regime in 1998, has changed its position from supporter to detractor of pluralism. This article argues that the institutionalization of anti- pluralism discourse through the MUI fatwa creates complexity especially because Indonesia contains the idea of pluralism (respecting cultural and religious diversity) in its constitution. The situation becomes more complex when the state and also Muslim organizations strengthen the position of MUI in monopolizing fatwa-making on ‘aqīda issues. The monopolization of fatwa on Islamic belief issues creates such a negative impact for religious freedom in Indonesia due to its fundamental characteristics that allow only a single judgment for the Muslim communities in understanding and interpreting their Islamic belief. Finally this article concludes the importance of Indonesia for protecting pluralism for maintaining the diversity of cultures and religions in this country.

In the article on the example of two states, the Republic of Turkey and the Republic of India, the forms and methods of implementing the changes in the policy of memory in recent decades have beenexamined, their directions have been revealed, their positive and negative impact on society has been analyzed. It is shown that the policy of historical memory strongly correlates with the politicaldiscourse of the country, but increasingly responds to external challenges. Changes in the policy of memory mean changes in the semantic organization of the country’s space. At the same time, broadpolitical, cultural and, accordingly, memorial pluralism is not a guarantee of social harmony. Important components of the experience of implementing the policy of memory in these countries have been established, they can be taken into account in the development of the corresponding direction of the state policy of Ukraine.

The state incentivizes investors to entrust capital to public corporationsby granting shareholders enforceable rights over managers. However, theserights create legal “access points” through which social movements can makenon-pecuniary claims on the corporation. I use original historical researchon the Securities and Exchange Commission’s administration of federalsecurities law to show that concern over non-pecuniary claims motivates thestate to enact the role of “market protector.” In this role, the Commissioninsulates managers of corporations from shareholders’ claims that it deemsillegitimate because they are insufficiently profit-oriented. Thus theinverse of Polanyi’s observation that society protects itself from marketsis also true: the state creates market boundaries so that “always embedded”markets function more like autonomous, profit-oriented markets.Accordingly, the extent to which corporate democracy represents general,social interests or narrow, profit-oriented interests is largely a functionof political contestation and state policy.
