Role Of The Government

From the perspective of political science the paper is a comparative overview of some of the main approaches on competitiveness. The focus is on their strengths and weaknesses in the explanation of the role of the government. Yet the paper compares some of the more recent authors as Porter, Reich, Thurow, Ohmae and Strange. The implication is that government intervention is still needed to provide both sustainable competitiveness (Strange) (modesty as opposed to resource depletion) and social adjustment (jobs) to innovation in the long-term dynamic picture (Porter) because government is still at the basis of the welfare pyramid (Thurow). I start with the authors’ assumptions and proceed with their view on the role of the government to conclude that this role is underestimated in the social and overestimated in the business sphere.

ABSTRACTThe Government Actuary's Department (GAD) came into being in 1919, originally arising from the perceived importance of applying actuarial skills to the financing of the United Kingdom social security system. Whilst the GAD has changed considerably over the years, and now operates as a publicly owned consulting firm, social security and related policy and regulatory advice remain at the core of the Government Actuary's role. This paper explores the nature of the role of the GAD in the social security area, and provides examples of the scope of GAD reports on the long-term finances of the National Insurance Fund. A brief description is given of some of the other areas of GAD's work.

Este documento de posición analiza el crecimiento y la inflación en Panamá. Panamá experimenta un círculo virtuoso económico entre una tasa balanceada y sostenible de crecimiento a largo plazo y ni-veles moderados de inflación, fenómeno que los economistas denominan la coincidencia divina. A futuro, con el repliegue gradual del rol del Estado en aras de fortalecer la actividad del sector privado, se dan las condiciones macroeconómicas para mantener y recrear tal coincidencia como la nueva si-tuación normal de la economía panameña. La diversificación de la economía, la prudencia macro-fiscal, perspectivas favorables de crecimiento en sectores claves (como lo son las utilidades públicas, minas y canteras, y transporte, almacenamiento y comunicaciones —sectores a su vez dependientes del comercio internacional y la exportación de servicios) y la reversión a la media de la inflación, incluso a pesar de la incertidumbre económica internacional y geopolítica, constituyen pilares sólidos sobre los cuales descansa la actividad económica y el modelo de desarrollo del país. Se concluye con advertencias sobre el posible agotamiento del modelo de gasto discrecional en materia social, ya que los réditos de estas intervenciones han perdido potencia y en la medida que no se re-enfoquen, podrían trastocar el delicado equilibrio necesario para mantener y enraizar la coincidencia divina a nivel eco-nómico. Por eso, se concluye que la mejor política hoy en día debe ser prudente y cautelosa, y enfocada a generar capital social. This position paper analyzes the growth and inflation in Panama. Panama experiences a virtuous circle for economy: a balanced and sustained rate of long-term growth, and moderate levels of inflation. This phenomenon is what economists call the divine coincidence. As the role of the Government withdraws gradually, in order to strengthen the activity of the private sector, the macroeconomic conditions to sustain and recreate such coincidence as the new normal situation of the Panamanian economy will emerge. The diversification of the economy, the macro-fiscal prudence, the favorable perspectives of growth in key sectors (such as public utilities, mines and quarries, and transport, storage and communications; which are sectors that depend upon international commerce and service exports), and the mean reversion of inflation —even despite the economic and geopolitical uncertainties— are the cornerstones upon which the economic activity and the development model of the nation lay. Warnings about the possible wears of the model of discretionary expenditure in social fields, since the revenues of these interventions have lost power. If there is no shift in the focus of these interventions, they could disrupt the delicate balance needed to maintain and strengthen the divine coincidence at the economic level. Thus, the best policy today must be prudent, cautious and focused to develop social capital.

Role Of The Government

The unique character of the socio-economic negociations in Belgium has lost much of its glamour and prestige during the last quarter of the 20th century.  While before 1975, there was more or less agreement among the social partners to redistribute welfare to the whole society, after the first oil crisis employers tended to see themselves in competition with other employers, with the trade unions and with the state. Both employers' organisations as trade unions wanted to safeguard their own priorities, respectively the competitiveness of the enterprises and the system of indexation. As a consequence, it became very difficult to reach agreements and hence, there have been no or only very small interprofessional agreements signed since 1975.The role of the government in this period evolved from the role of host for the negociations to that of co-actor and finally to director. When no agreement was possible between the social partners, the govenrment itself took the initiative and both trade unions and employers' organisations tried to lobby the government rather than being partners in negociations. The measures of the government, especially those taken with extra-ordinary powers, were often beneficial for the employers. Despite the emphasis by the trade unions on employment, their efforts beared not much fruit. The first priority of both the government and the employers was the enhancement of the financial and the economic situation of the country. Since the interprofessional agreement of 1999-2000, a new period bas begun. Trade unions and employers' organisations are constrained by what happens in the rest of Europe. Between these constaints, they can negociate and conclude agreements on the basis of freedom and responsibility.The level of negociations shifted in this period from the interprofessional level to the level of the sector or even to the level of the enterprise. Another trend is the creation of an institutional framework for social talks on the Flemish level.The challenges for the future are the installation of a European or even an international world-wide institutional framework for social negociations and the development of themes as permanent education, quality of life and work and the enhancement of the socio-economic democracy.

The article considers the trends taking place in modern conditions in the agrarian sphere – peasant farms. Concepts and definitions characterizing the essence of functioning new agrarian forms of economy are analyzed. The place and role of the state and farming as equal partners in the social arrangement of rural areas and in the preservation of the traditional way of life in the countryside is emphasized. The author considers some of the concepts and definitions to be generally accepted, the other ones are of a search and research nature, which gives the article originality. Contradictions and problems impeding the development of new agrarian forms of economy are revealed. The relevance of the theme consists in the need to develop family farms as a priority form of individual entrepreneurship and as an important source of sustainable growth in food production. The long-term domestic experience of development of peasant farms and private holdings using achievements in foreign countries is studied and on this basis, practical recommendations on accelerated development of individual forms of agricultural production are offered. In general, the agricultural economy should be diversified in order to provide social protection, the opportunity to generate employment and increase the profitability of farmers.

The article discusses the features of media construction of a social problem by the Russian media on the example of the case of “death groups” (2015–2017) in the context of the influence of post-truth society on mass communication. The analysis reveals factors that form the misstatement in vision of a social problem; an analogy is drawn with the spread of fake news in the media. Special attention is paid to the role of the government in the media construction of the social problem of “death groups” and its ideological content. Based on the study, it is concluded that in post-truth society, media construction of a social problem proceeds with an emotional, uncritical perception of false, ideologically sharpened information. The gathered facts show a dismatch between the media representation of “death groups” and their real social sense.

The research aims at examining the role of the State in the social and economic sustainability of natural resources around mining and the role of the community in enforcing environmental laws. This type of research uses normative legal research. The results of the study suggest that the responsibility of the State in restoring the mining environment must be carried out in the entire process starting from the stages of fulfilling permits, planning, implementing and controlling because the responsibility of business entities has not yet been regulated by the possibility of contaminating ex-mining areas after handover to the government. Post-mining environmental restoration activities only involve the authorities of the government and mining business actors without involving the community as an important element as well as parties directly related to the physical, economic and social environment of the mining environment.   Penelitian bertujuan tentang meninjau peran Negara atas keberlanjutan sumber daya alam di sekitar pertambangan secara sosial dan ekonomi dan peran serta masyarakat dalam penegakan hukum lingkungannya. Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian hukum normatif. Hasil penelitian mengemukakan bahwa tanggungjawab Negara dalam pemulihan lingkungan pertambangan harus dilakukan pada seluruh proses mulai dari tahapan pemenuhan perizinan, perencanaan, pelaksanaan dan pengawasan karena belum diaturnya tanggungjawab oleh badan usaha terhadap kemungkinan pencemaran bekas lahan tambang setelah penyerahan kepada pemerintah. Kegiatan pemulihan lingkungan pada pascatambang hanya melibatkan kewenangan pemerintah dan pelaku usaha pertambangan tanpa melibatkan masyarakat sebagai unsur penting dan juga pihak yang terkait langsung dengan keberadaan lingkungan fisik, ekonomi maupun sosial lingkungan pertambangan.

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> Terrorism has been one of the problems that is still an actual issue in Indonesia. Studies on this issue have caught the attention of researchers. This study will examine the roots of the emergence of terrorism and strategies for dealing with it in Indonesia. By applying qualitative research methods, this article implies that the emergence of terrorism is based on the problems of ethnic egoism, poverty, non-democratic systems and discrimination. To deal with terrorism in Indonesia, this study proposes a solution where terrorism must be handled through strengthening the role of the government, ulama or the learned Muslim scholars and academia of universities. These three parties must synergize maximally to prevent the emergence and movement of terrorism in Indonesia. In addition, the government needs to strengthen national defense institutions, minimize social disparities, respect human rights and create laws that do not conflict with the social conditions of society, and it is at this juncture that study contributes to the handling of terrorism in Indonesia.</p><p><strong>Abstrak:</strong> Terorisme merupakan persoalan yang masih menjadi isu aktual di Indonesia.
