Summary Studies of the diffusion of new workplace technologies and management practice often fail to account for differences in state labour regulation. This article examines the role of the state in seeking to regulate the introduction of an American system of computerized work monitoring in the Australian grocery warehouse industry. While the establishment of a government inquiry into the technology offered the potential for significant constraints upon management control, over time the state’s role shifted to a more accommodating stance that endorsed management’s right to use the new technology. The reasons underlying the state’s ultimate support for the technology are explored, as are the broader implications for national variations in the global diffusion of new workplace technologies.

Organization of the state regulation of tourism in Ukraine and opportunities for its improvement on the basis of learning from the experience of leading tourist countries in Europe is the purpose of the study. The notion and main purpose of the state regulation of tourist activities is substantiated. It is established that the history of the state regulation of tourism in Ukraine points to the frequent change and re-organization of its central body, which did not facilitate the development of tourism. Analysis of the role of the state in the organization and development of tourist activities in different countries of the world allowed determining four types of models of the state participation in regulation of tourism as a constituent element of economy of the mentioned countries: American, Budget-Forming, European and Mixed. Experience of leading tourist countries (France, Spain, Great Britain and Italy) convinces of the necessity for the efficient building-up of the state bodies responsible for the development of the mentioned branch. Efficient organization of tourism in a country and its state regulation, cooperation with non-governmental institutions, active promotion of the national tourist product, implementation of efficient promotion and PR activities and a developed tourist infrastructure facilitate interest in this country by the tourists and inflow of monetary resources.

The article defines the priorities of the social policy of Ukraine at the present stage. The socio-economic problems of Ukraine are analyzed, their causes and solutions are identified. It is shown that the main reason for the failures of the socio-economic policy of independent Ukraine is the uncritical attitude of Ukrainian reformers to the consequences of neoliberal policies in other countries, as a result of which foreign experience of socio-economic reforms began to be introduced without taking into account domestic specifics. The decline in the role of the state in socio-economic policy, the increase in the role of private business, the privatization of "everything and everyone" led to a sharp social stratification, an economic crisis, which became a trigger for crises in all spheres of Ukrainian society. One of the fundamental principles of neoliberal economics, deregulation, has also collapsed. It turned out that the market is not efficient in areas in which the business cannot make quick and large profits. The so-called "market failures" demonstrated the need for state regulation in the spheres of education, health care, ecology, etc. Conclusions of the study and prospects for further research in this direction. Thus, if the new government really wants to build a successful country of happy people, it must make social and economic policy its top priority. Its primary tasks at the present stage should be: reduction of tariffs for utilities by eliminating from them the corruption component and excess profits of suppliers; revision of the principles of granting subsidies for utility bills. Exclusion from the number of subsidies of those who do not need state aid, but have a formal right to receive it (they work unofficially); the fight against the shadow economy, with the concealment of income from taxation; reforming the system of wages and pensions; creation of jobs with decent wages; establishing interaction between the state and private business in order to increase the social responsibility of the latter.

AbstractThis paper explores the ideas of development and the role of the state in economic development and institutional change from the New Structural Economics perspective. We argue that economic structures – including the structure of technology and industry, and hard and soft infrastructure – are endogenous to the endowment structure, which is given at any specific time and changeable over time. We advocate a state to facilitate structural change by using industrial policy to overcome market failures in order to help industries with latent comparative advantages to become competitive in the market and the state should pragmatically prioritize the use of its limited resources and implementation capability to create enclaves with favourable infrastructure and institution to jump start a dynamic growth in a country beset with poor infrastructure and institution.

Resumen: El objetivo es reflexionar acerca del concepto de Estado regulador, y cómo el rol del Estado como Estado social ha evolucionado en las últimas décadas a partir de los procesos de liberalización económica. La crisis del modelo del Estado prestacional ha dejado espacio a los agentes privados del mercado en régimen de competencia. El Estado, por su parte, se ha reservado el papel de regulador, garante o supervisor del funcionamiento eficiente de los mercados que requieren de una intervención pública más intensa para la satisfacción de las necesidades colectivas. En este marco, se abordará, asimismo, cómo esta nueva situación ha impactado en la tradicional división de poderes: protagonismo de las autoridades independientes, surgimiento de nuevos poderes normativos y dificultades para el control judicial de las decisiones de las agencias reguladoras. Finalmente, se propondrán algunas líneas de actuación para el futuro. Palabras clave: Estado regulador, Estado social, derecho regulatorio, liberalización, derecho de la competencia, servicio de interés económico general, autoridades independientes, autorregulación. Abstract: The aim is to reflect about the concept of regulatory state, and how the role of the state as welfare state has developed in the last decades since the first economic liberalization processes. The crisis of the provider state scheme, has let space for the market private agents in a competition regime. The State, for its part, has reserved for itself the authority of regulator, guarantor and supervisor of the efficient functioning of markets that demand more intensive public intervention for the collective needs satisfaction. Within this framework, this article will also address how this new situation has impacted on the traditional division of powers: role of independent authorities, emergence of new regulatory powers and difficulties for judicial review of the decisions of regulatory agencies. Finally, some lines of action for the future will be proposed. Keywords: regulatory state, welfare state, regulation, liberalization, competition law, service of general economic interest, independent authorities, self-regulation.

AbstractSince it was first agreed in the autumn of 1998, the English Compact has achieved international status, as a marker of – or vehicle for - a new and improved relationship between the state and the third sector. Over the twelve years or so since its first publication, it has been supplemented by local compacts across the country and has been ‘refreshed’ or renewed twice. As such it has proved remarkably durable across time and space. But the political context in which it operates has now changed. A government committed to partnership has been replaced by one with a strong ideological commitment to limiting the powers and role of the state. How will this affect its future role?

Role Of The State

The article substantiates the need to study the issues of strategic planning the development of the territories of the Russian Federation in modern economic conditions. The role of state regulation in solving the issues of rationalization in financial resources distribution to create optimum conditions to form the socio-economic environment of regional development is determined. The resource base of regional development is studied. The main problems affecting the formation of the system for regional development strategic planning are identified. Currently, the legislative and regulatory framework for strategic planning and forecasting available in Russia is mainly descriptive, which is a serious obstacle for the formation of a unified territorial development scheme. The problems presented in the article show that in this situation, the task of optimizing the system of centralized regions management advances to the forefront. It is the strategic vision of the formation of the national economic complex in the development of the state that will optimize this system. The most effective directions for the strategic development of Russian regions, forming the general level of state development are proposed. Despite the already established system of relatively independent planning regions' development by the regions themselves, the role of the state in the final determining the direction of socio-economic development in general remains unchanged. It is the state that chooses the methods of regulation. Solving these tasks will enable the state to form and control the system of strategic planning for the development of regions and the state as a whole as efficiently as possible.

AbstractThis article examines the changing role of the Swedish state in employment and welfare regulation in an environment that has become more market driven, commodified, and Europeanized. It begins with a theoretical reflection on the role of the state in capitalist development and a review of the recent debate on the spatiality of state regulation: the state as employer, redistributor, and arbiter, and as a shaper of employment relations and welfare. In the latter role, the state is conceptualized as employer, guarantor of employment rights, and procedural regulator, as intermediating neo-corporatist processes, as macroeconomic manager, and as welfare state. From this theoretical basis, the paper identifies changes in state employment and welfare regulation by comparing two periods: the original and mainly nation-state-based founding stage of the Swedish welfare and employment model as it developed after the 1938 Saltsjöbaden Agreement, and the period after Sweden’s accession to the European Union in 1995.
