Economic analysis is one of the key elements of the state competition policy system. The issue of the quality of analytical research carried out by the antimonopoly authorities has been topical and highly controversial for many years. Many scientific works have been devoted to the role of economic analysis in Russian antitrust, the most significant contributions were made by I. V. Knyazeva, A. G. Tsyganov, A. E. Shastitko, S. B. Avdasheva, A. A. Kurdin. This study proposes the stageization of the evolution of economic analysis depending on the processes of transformation of competition policy in the country, and, as a consequence, the development of the powers of antimonopoly authorities. The article outlines the prerequisites for a new stage in the evolution of economic analysis, due to the transition of traditional markets to a new business format — digital, the emergence of new markets based on IT-technologies. The new philosophy of market regulation requires fundamentally new methodological approaches to assessing the state of competition in them.

The article is devoted to the review of current changes in the legislation on notaries related to the development of electronic civil circulation, analysis of existing digital risks and assessment of the role of notaries in combating them. In modern economic realities, a significant expansion of the sphere of competence of the notary is carried out by introducing completely new notarial actions into the scope of the notary’s terms of reference. At the same time, the notary does not just follow the general ‘digital’ trend, but independently makes significant efforts to effectively perform the tasks of the social sphere regulator assigned to it by the state. The creation of the Unified Notary Information System as part of the formation of the technological infrastructure to ensure the security and stability of legal relations in the context of electronic civil circulation takes to a new level the quality of notarial services and the security of legally relevant information. The role of notaries significantly increases in conditions when the use of digital technologies in the economy, public administration, social sphere becomes one of the main vectors of world development, and society and the state inevitably face the flip side of this process – digital risks that jeopardize the safety of participants in civil turnover and their property. In 2020, as part of the implementation of the national program ‘Digital Economy’, it is planned to introduce a number of innovations that will create the basis for a stable and secure ‘digital’ turnover.

Since 2002, Sunni jihadi groups have been active in Iranian Baluchistan without managing to plunge the region into chaos. This book suggests that a reason for this, besides Tehran’s military responses, has been the quality of Khomeini and Khamenei’s relationship with a network of South-Asia-educated Sunni ulama (mawlawis) originating from the Sarbaz oasis area, in the south of Baluchistan. Educated in the religiously reformist, socially conservative South Asian Deoband School, which puts the madrasa at the centre of social life, the Sarbazi ulama had taken advantage, in Iranian territory, of the eclipse of Baluch tribal might under the Pahlavi monarchy (1925-79). They emerged then as a bulwark against Soviet influence and progressive ideologies, before rallying to Khomeini in 1979. Since the turn of the twenty-first century, they have been playing the role of a rampart against Salafi propaganda and Saudi intrigues. The book shows that, through their alliance with an Iranian Kurdish-born Muslim-Brother movement and through the promotion of a distinct ‘Sunni vote’, they have since the early 2000s contributed towards – and benefitted from – the defence by the Reformist presidents Khatami (1997-2005) and Ruhani (since 2013) of local democracy and of the minorities’ rights. They endeavoured to help, at the same time, preventing the propagation of jihadism and Sunni radicalisation to Iran – at least until the ISIS/Daesh-claimed attacks of June 2017, in Tehran, shed light on the limits of the Islamic Republic’s strategy of reliance on Deobandi ulama and Muslim-Brother preachers in the country’s Sunni-peopled peripheries.


This interdisciplinary volume presents nineteen chapters by Roman historians and archaeologists, discussing trade in the Roman Empire in the period c.100 BC to AD 350, and in particular the role of the Roman state, in shaping the institutional framework for trade within and outside the Empire, in taxing that trade, and in intervening in the markets to ensure the supply of particular commodities, especially for the city of Rome and for the army. The chapters in this volume address facets of the subject on the basis of widely different sources of evidence—historical, papyrological, and archaeological—and are grouped in three sections: institutional factors (taxation, legal structures, market regulation, financial institutions); evidence for long-distance trade within the Empire, in wood, stone, glass, and pottery; and trade beyond the frontiers, with the East (as far as China), India, Arabia, and the Red Sea, and the Sahara. Rome’s external trade with realms to the east emerges as being of particular significance to the fisc. But in the eastern part of the Empire at least, the state appears, in collaboration with the elite holders of wealth, to have adapted the mechanisms of taxation, both direct and indirect, to support its need for revenue. On the other hand, the price of that collaboration, which was in effect a fiscal partnership, in slightly different forms in East and West, in the longer term fundamentally changed the political character of the Empire.

The application of competition policy to nationalized industries (state enterprises) has been strengthened recently in the United Kingdom. Section 11(1) of the 1980 Competition Act broadened the Monopolies Commission oversight of state enterprises. In practice, the Commission will conduct an efficiency audit of each major nationalized industry every four years. The Commission will focus its review on the quality of services, manpower utilization and productivity, and pricing, distribution and purchasing methods of the state enterprise. These efficiency audits have been fairly well received. Their cost-effectiveness and the follow-through on the Commission's recommendations remain to be demonstrated.

While the creation of a dynamic agricultural economy was explained by the extraordinary quality of the soils of the state and their excellent conditions for the growth of coffee, the same was not the case with industry. But how such industrial capital was generated and the role of native and foreign capital explains how this occurred. The existence of an educated foreign born labor force was another factor. The chapter covers all the primary industries created before 1950 and how the state’s industries came to control a large share of the nation’s industrial work force.

<p>Perkembangan di dunia penerbangan terhadap prinsip kedaulatan negara di ruang udara yang bersifat complete and exclusive kini telah terkikis oleh berbagai perjanjian internasional di bidang penerbangan yang dibuat oleh negara-negara dewasa ini seperti perjanjian perdagangan jasa pesawat penerbangan baik yang berbentuk multilateral seperti WTO, Regional seperti ASEAN maupun bilateral. Tulisan ini mengidentifikasi dua permasalahan yaitu: pertama, bagaimanakah konsep kedaulatan negara atas ruang udara yang bersifat complete dan exclusive dalam hukum internasional diimplementasi dalam peraturan perundang-undangan nasional Indonesia melalui hak penguasaan negara? kedua, bagaimana konsep hukum yang tepat yang dapat mengharmoniskan kepentingan kedaulatan negara melalui hak pengusaan negara di tengah liberalisasi perdagangan jasa penerbangan? Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah merupakan jenis penelitian hukum normatif. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa: pertama, terjadi pergeseran makna kedaulatan negara dalam penguasaan wilayah udara dari penguasaan yang ekslusif dan lengkap menjadi terbatas karena adanya liberalisasi perdagangan dunia penerbangan. Kedua, rekonseptualisasi peran pemerintah dalam hal penguasaan negara atas ruang udara sebagai sumber daya strategis adalah pergeseran peranan pemerintah dari sebagai penonton saja menjadi fasilitator dan regulator yang berperan besar dalam meningkatkan daya saing dunia penerbangan nasional. Penelitian ini menyarankan peranan pemerintah dalam meningkatkan daya saing dunia penerbangan adalah melalui: menciptakan peraturan perundang- undangan yang menjamin adanya kepastian hukum, reformasi birokrasi di bidang penerbangan, penyediaan infrastruktur penerbangan, peningkatan kualitas SDM di bidang penerbangan, dan penegakan hukum yang konsisten.</p><p>The development in the aviation world on the principle of state sovereignty in air space that is both complete and exclusive have now been eroded by various international treaties in the field of airflight made by countries today as a trading treaty services of an aircraft in flight, both multilateral treaty like WTO, and regional treaty such as ASEAN or bilateral treaty. This articles identify two problems, first, how is state sovereignty concept over air space that is exclusive and complete under international law can be implemented in the Indonesia’s law and regulation through State Right Sovereignty over Airspace, second, how is the legal concept that can harmonize sovereignty interest through the State Right of Sovereignty over Airspace under liberalization regime? The methods of this research are normative resecarh approach. The result of this research shown that: Firstly, there is a shift in the meaning of State Sovereignty over its airspace from the complete and exclusive control and be limited because of the trade liberalisation of aviation world. Secondly, role re-conceptualitation of the government regarding the state sovereignty over its air space as a source of strategic power from the role of the government as a spectator to a facilatator and regulator with a major role in increasing the competitiveness of national flight. This research suggested that the role of the government in increasing the competitiveness of the national flight can be done by: creating the law and regulation that guarantee the legal certainty, bureaucracy reform in the field of flight, providing infrastructure flight, increasing the quality of human resources in the field of flight, and law enforcement that are consistent.</p>

Introduction. Given the limited own resources of local self-government, it is important to ensure the effective functioning of the mechanism for providing investment subventions from the state budget. Such investment subventions include subventions for the formation of infrastructure in the united territorial communities and subventions for the implementation of measures of socio-economic development of separate territories. The purpose of the paper is the analysis of the mechanism of providing and using investment subventions to local budgets in order to identify disadvantages and eliminate them. Results. Providing an “infrastructure” subvention to local budgets has strengthened the capacity of united territorial communities and to some extent improved the quality of services provided to the population. During 2016–2019, UAH 6.5 billion was allocated from the State Budget of Ukraine to local budgets for infrastructure development and 9475 projects were implemented. With the help of these subventions, schools, kindergartens, outpatient clinics, cultural and sports institutions, water mains and roads were built and repaired, and specialized transport was purchased. However, in recent years, the role of this subvention has decreased significantly due to the fact that the number of UTCs that received an infrastructure subvention during 2016–2021 has increased significantly, and its volume has hardly changed. The amount of subventions from the state budget to local budgets for the implementation of measures for socio-economic development of certain territories has also decreased, which negatively affects the capacity of local governments in the field of investment projects. Conclusion. The volume of investment subventions remains insufficient, and their distribution is partly in a “manual mode”, which creates a favorable environment for political corruption and lobbying.

    There is no doubt that the guardianship of the funds of orphans, minors and the like is of the utmost importance, which the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has given keen attention in all respects and has established for this purpose the State General Authority on the funds of minors and the like. And the extent to which it can carry out the objectives for which it was established. Where the purely objectives were, to identify ways to manage these funds. Evaluate the management of these funds and their ability to achieve the purpose of the street, which governs the details and mechanisms of the Authority's work. As well as to identify the role of the supervisory bodies in the maintenance of funds that fall within the competence of the General Authority of the State. The researcher used the analytical research methodology, which was limited to studying the theoretical framework for dealing with the funds of orphans, minors and the like in light of the executive regulations of the Authority. Also, the supervisory principles governing the guarantee and safe keeping and development of such funds. The study concluded that the answer to the research questions was that there is a good management of funds that fall under the mandate of the Commission to ensure their preservation? In addition, what is the role of the financial control bodies stipulated in the Authority's system in preserving these funds and ensuring their safety? In response to the first question, the study finds that the Authority, despite the efforts it is doing, is skeptical in its work, but may be tainted by some shortcomings, represented by some observations on the executive bylaw. Most importantly, the list did not address the termination of the mandate, which emerged as one of the main stages in the legal framework and control. In response to the second question, the Commission did not clarify the mechanisms of control over those funds. The study came up with a number of recommendations, most notably the addition of an article in the executive regulations stating the mechanism of refunding the beneficiaries in case of termination.
