Political Spectrum

This chapter studies community engagement policies in the era of populism in Finland. Finland, although performing excellently in international comparisons of social cohesion, has seen the steepest decrease in the level of trust in the government among all the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries during the past decade. At the same time, right-wing populist rhetoric has strengthened and the populist movement has established its support in the political spectrum. To transform Finnish democracy, participatory programmes have been created in order to reach out and engage different groups to join community development practices. These efforts stem both from the public authorities and the renewed Finnish Local Government Act of 2017, as well as from projects undertaken by civil society organisations (CSOs). Further, there is a long tradition of building civil society in Finland, which has often been based on the unique Finnish liberal adult education system. Yet growing inequality is currently deepening the polarisation in political participation. The chapter then explores the ways of countering the polarisation and populism by supporting the political capabilities of communities and nurturing deliberative discussion.

Civil Sector

In general, Ukraine has developed a sufficiently detailed practice on the management of public sector entities, although unfortunately, not all of its fundamentally important provisions, adapt the experience of managing the civil sector. For example, especially at the national level, the overall goal of the government is to achieve certain policy goals, for example, in environmental, social or economic aspects. In this context, governments need to have well-organized work with the civil sector on social security programs or health care services to study service delivery performance for target groups.It is established that today, improvement of the mechanism of introduction of modern technologies of information presence and informing citizens about their rights, in particular, about the right to choose, the right of responsibility is the first important step for their participation in the process of monitoring the development and implementation of state policy. By receiving full information, civil society institutions can better assess the effectiveness of the public sector and submit their proposals. Despite the apparent need for a thorough analysis of competitors of the communicative environment of the interaction of public authorities with the public, when formulating the state strategy, analysis is far from always sufficiently clear and comprehensive. The difficulty lies in the fact that a comprehensive analysis of the competitors of the communicative environment of the interaction of public authorities with the public requires a large amount of data, most of which is difficult to obtain without much effort. Many state authorities do not systematically collect information about competitors of the communicative environment of the interaction of public authorities with the public, but act on the basis of fragmentary information, informal impressions, assumptions and intuitions. The lack of qualitative information is extremely difficult to analyze the competitor’s communicative environment of interaction between public authorities and the public.However, it is important that such an exchange is bilateral - from officials to citizens, and vice versa. This leads to maximizing the effectiveness of internal system management and to qualitative improvements in external management performance both of public authorities and the public sector as a whole. Control measures in the management of both sectors should be directly linked to the use of these indicators, both for feedback and for direct control. This will help identify new strategic opportunities for achieving control objectives and ensure the ability to use existing capabilities.

The Impact

The Right to Information Act 2005 was passed by the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) Government with a sense of pride. It flaunted the Act as a milestone in India’s democratic journey. It is five years since the RTI was passed; the performance on the implementation frontis far from perfect. Consequently, the impact on the attitude, mindset and behaviour patterns of the public authorities and the people is not as it was expected to be. Most of the people are still not aware of their newly acquired power. Among those who are aware, a major chunk either does not know how to wield it or lacks the guts and gumption to invoke the RTI. A little more stimulation by the Government, NGOs and other enlightened and empowered citizens can augment the benefits of this Act manifold. RTI will help not only in mitigating corruption in public life but also in alleviating poverty- the two monstrous maladies of India.

Nowadays, many cyber users do not understand how to protect themselves and their information within cyber space. One reason is that cyber users are unaware of possible cyber risks and threats that may occur within cyber space. The second reason is that citizens, businesses and users within the public sector may be aware of relevant cyber risks but do not really understand the seriousness of such risks and the consequences if they do realise. Therefore, cybersecurity awareness campaigns are an integral part of improving cybersecurity awareness. Based on in-country reviews conducted as part of the Global Cybersecurity Capacity Centre (GCSCC) programme, we observed that the campaigns to raise cybersecurity awareness throughout the country are often led by different ‘owners’ without co-ordination and adequate resources therefore creating fragmentation in the national cybersecurity awareness raising programme. This paper suggests that the development of a coordinated and coherent national cybersecurity awareness program is critical for building a basic level of aware-ness at the national level. We will examine the requirements needed to develop a coordinated national awareness raising programme by reviewing the existing literature, best practice approaches and the role of different stakeholders such as the government, private sector and civil society. We will draw conclusions on the main obstacles to ensure overall coherence between the actions of stakeholders and the efforts countries should prioritise in order to increase awareness of cyber risks at the national level.

This chapter examines administrative accountability through the democratic pillar of public transparency. One of the pillars of democratic accountability is the availability of adequate information in the public domain about the functioning government. It has taken a social movement for transparency in government to establish people’s right to information through the passage of the Right to Information Act in 2005. However, traditional administration has not reconciled to its demands and PPPs are kept out of its purview on the plea that they are not public authorities. The Lok Pal (ombudsman) Bill has been passed in response to another struggle of civil society.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted personal, social, and economic lives of millions of people around the world. It has taken the familiar world away from everyone. The pandemic is in large part an epistemic problem caused by the invisible contagious virus. Its invisibility can make people ignorant of the threat and spread of the virus. Government and public need scientists to identify and understand the problem of COVID-19. While the latter do not have complete knowledge to cure the disease, they are more knowledgeable to inform the government how to prevent the pandemic from getting worse. Appropriate government intervention requires a thorough investigation involving frequent and massive data collection, which is too expensive for developing countries. Without sufficient data, any government claim and intervention are questionable. The government can compensate the insufficiency of data by acquiring data and information from other sources, such as civil society organization and the public.

Organizational Principles

American government officials experimented with a variety of tools for public administration in the early twentieth century. The regulatory commission became the best known of these new institutional forms, but another Progressive Era innovation with profound and ambiguous implications for U.S. political development was the government-sponsored corporation. Often called “public corporations,” these instrumentalities were created to carry out public purposes, but they were established as separate legal entities to function outside the standard departmental structure of government (and its organizational principles and restrictions). Today, these structures are most prolific at the state and municipal level, where they are generally termed “public authorities.” Since World War II they have been the fastest growing kind of government unit, with, at present, around ten thousand in existence. While everyone perceives these institutions as important players in local affairs, even well-informed citizens are frequently puzzled when it comes to knowing exactly what they are or what they do.

New System

Present-day social sphere of the Russian Federation employs over 14.4 million workers; the majority (about 5.2 mln) are occupied in the educational sphere and another 3.9 mln — in the spheres of public health and social services. Remuneration of labor system for those occupied in state federal institutions is established based on the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation №583 as of 5th August of 2008. Introduction of the new system has had a positive affect on the dynamics in government (municipal) employees’ compensation. Still, as the evidence shows, even the new system of remuneration fails to solve the problem of performance-contingent motivation for all categories of institutions. Ii is observed that in many cases performance indicators and criteria are not properly developed and are applied as a mere formality. In many public institutions incentive rewards are paid as a guaranteed part of compensation without any relation to the results of work. This is largely due to the extremely low tariff rates at the public institutions and their low competitiveness at local labor markets. As a result public institutions have to reward workers regardless of their performance results to retain manpower. The author concludes that remuneration of labor systems should be adapted to new conditions, aimed at the growth of appropriate industries, increase of services quality and maintain contingency between the public servants’ performance results and their compensation.

Intrinsic Feature

The environmental interests among subjects with different rights pose an imbalance, involving specifically of the imbalance in environmental rights sharing as well as responsibilities shouldering among different subjects. Using the method of game theory analysis, we concluded that the optimal alternatives turned out to be the public authorities’ positive regulation on the companies’ pollution, or the companies’ voluntary conduct of pollutants removing, thus achieving the overall improvement of environmental interests of the government, companies and residents. However, the co-existence of both market and government malfunction derived from the intrinsic feature of quasi-public goods, appears to be a formidable obstacle to the subjects’ environmental interests equilibrium. Consequently, the ultimate aim to achieving equilibrium in environmental interests is apparently in line with coordination among the abovementioned subjects, mutually requiring companies’ voluntary assumption of their responsibilities, government’s endeavor from the regulation level and residents’ awareness of their environmental rights.
