France is blocked by the self-serving tendencies of its elite. And I’ll tell you a little secret: I know it, I was part of it. Emmanuel Macron, Rally in Pau, April 2017 As the French edition of this book was barely making its way into bookshops and libraries, a major political breakdown suddenly hit France. Thirty-nine-year-old Emmanuel Macron, who was virtually unknown to the general public up to three years earlier, and had never before run a single campaign large or small nor been democratically elected to any political position, unexpectedly won the presidential election on his first try. As a victor over France’s National Front leader Marine Le Pen, he immediately became the object of liberal admiration throughout a world that saw Macron’s France as an island of resistance in a global context of the rise of populisms. As he claimed to govern France “neither at the left, neither at the right,” Macron’s political positioning that combined promarket, socially liberal, and pro-European ideas profoundly broke away from France’s past political coordinates. Within only a few months, his political movement ...

Los métodos que utilizan algunos periodistas para recabar información generan importantes conflictos. En nuestro país, las técnicas de investigación periodísticas han cobrado interés como consecuencia de que la STC 12/2012 ha determinado la prohibición constitucional del uso de la cámara oculta. Se trata de una decisión polémica, pues algunos profesionales de la información consideran que dicho pronunciamiento supone el fin del periodismo de investigación, con los consecuentes efectos negativos para el funcionamiento del sistema democrático. Si bien se considera que en los casos estudiados por el TC hasta el presente momento deben prevalecer los derechos a la intimidad y a la propia imagen sobre la libertad de información, no se comparte su prohibición total, pues pueden existir casos límite que, como consecuencia de la imposibilidad de utilizar otros métodos alternativos para obtener la información y de la gran relevancia pública de lo informado, podrían justificar la utilización de la cámara oculta. De no admitir esta posibilidad, se impediría a la prensa ejercer su papel de «perro guardián público» y, por ende, no serían de conocimiento público muchas cuestiones esenciales para el autogobierno de los ciudadanos.The methods used by some journalists to get information generate important conflicts. Journalistic investigation techniques have gathered interest in our country due to the constitutional prohibition of the use of hidden camera in the STC 12/2012. It is a polemic decision, as some professionals of information consider it implies the end of investigative journalism and therefore a negative effect on democratic system’s running. Up to now, in the cases studied at the Constitutional Court, it has been considered that the right to privacy and one’s own image should prevail over the freedom of information. Even so, the complete prohibition of the hidden camera is not shared as there may be extreme cases in which its use could be justified both due to the impossibility of using other alternative methods as well as to the public relevance of the information. If that possibility was not to be admitted, the press could not practice its role as «public watchdog» and therefore essential matters for the self-government of citizens may not be public.

Homeschooling as a self-consciously oppositional political movement emerged in the 1970s and 1980s among counterculturalists on both the left and the right due to a mix of historical trends, including the growth of suburbs, feminism, political polarization, and public school bureaucratization and secularization. In its early stages the movement saw cooperation between Christian conservatives and secular leftists, who worked together to relax homeschooling laws in every US state. By the late 1980s, however, a schism had developed and the much larger group of religious conservatives took control of the movement. Though very conservative Protestants continue to dominate the public face of the movement, in recent years homeschooling has grown increasingly common among a wide range of Americans. The historic antagonism between homeschooling and public education is also fading, as many hybrid forms have emerged that blur the boundaries between home and school.

I stand before you this afternoon as the thirty-second lineal successor to Peter Le Neve, herald, genealogist, and antiquary, chosen in 1707 to be the first President of the ‘new creation’ and reputedly a former President, as far back as 1689, when he would still have been on the right side of 30, of the last of the forerunner societies whose intermittent existence links our present body with the circle of Stow and Lambarde, Cotton and Camden. If filial piety to an alma mater is not out of place on such an occasion, may I say that one of the special pleasures you have given me, a Londoner born and bred, by electing me as your thirty-third President, is the thought that there is one thing which Peter Le Neve and I and no other two Presidents have in common: we were nursed upon the self-same hill, though admittedly the nursing of the 1670s and the 1920s took place on opposite sides of the Walbrook. I find another source of pleasure, and indeed of pride, in reflecting that the occupant of this chair in the days when I made my first three visits to these rooms in 1932 was also my predecessor as Chief Inspector; and if it is to the first Inspector of Ancient Monuments, Pitt Rivers, that we look back as the father of modern field archaeology, it is the second, Sir Charles Peers, successively Secretary, Director, and President of the Antiquaries from 1908 to 1934, who deserves to be remembered as the initiator of Britain's approach to the conservation of standing monuments, an approach which brought renown to his branch of the public service and set the standards which are still its guide today.

Abstract: Islam gives freedom to people to utilize the public natural resources, because everyone has the irtifâq right namely to use immovable good, whether it belongs to an individual or public property. Common ownership is allowed in Islamic law if an object which is intended and used for the public. The principle of freedom granted by Islam for the right holders to use is not without limit, but constrained by accountability and adherence to sharia. The right holders in using theirs’ is to be in line with the principle of maqâshid al-syarî’ah. On the basis of this principle, they are prohibited to use their rights in excess which lead to infringement and damages to the interests of the others as well as the rights and interests of the general public. Of course, this can be jailed (ta’zîr) by the judge.Keywords: Right holder, natural resources, Islamic law. Abstrak: Islam memberikan kebebasan kepada manusia untuk memanfaatkan sumber daya alam yang bersifat publik, karena setiap orang memiliki hak irtifâq yaitu hak pemanfaatan benda tidak bergerak, baik benda itu milik individu atau milik umum”. Kepemilikan umum dimungkinkan dalam hukum Islam jika suatu benda pemanfaatannya diperuntukan bagi masyarakat umum yang mana masing-masing saling membutuhkan. Prinsip kebebasan yang diberikan Islam bagi pemilik hak untuk mempergunakan haknya bukanlah bebas tanpa batas, namun dibatasi oleh pertanggungjawaban dan kepatuhan pada syariah. Pemegang hak dalam menggunakan haknya harus sejalan dengan maqâshid al-syarî’ah. Atas dasar prinsip ini pemilik hak dilarang mempergunakan haknya secara berlebihan yang menimbulkan pelanggaran hak dan kerugian terhadap kepentingan orang lain maupun terhadap hak dan kepentingan masyarakat umum dan dapat dikenai hukuman penjara (ta’zîr) oleh hakim.Kata Kunci: Hak pemanfaatan, sumber daya alam, hukum Islam.

COVID-19 is exploiting U.S. political and cultural polarization in the first presidential election to be driven by epidemiology and public health. Medical science is on the ballot as Americans’ views on economic re-opening fracture according to party affiliation. The difference between pro aggressive versus incremental re-opening, mask wearing and social distancing is rooted in respect for, or denial of, the science of epidemiological pandemic disease control. Political leaders at multiple levels, and in particular the president, have politicized the wearing of face masks and so intentionally obscured and misinformed the public regarding the objectively and scientifically proven value of these protective measures. The presidential election rests at a fundamental level upon an individual choice of whether to accept or “believe” value-neutral, evidence-based science or an unethical decision to be swayed by political disinformation. The persistent and highly dysfunctional political and cultural polarization of the U.S. is now enabling and reinforcing the ethics of science denial, while driving the nation’s public health fate and near- to medium-term economic outcomes. However, mask wearing, social distance and sheltering are not political expressions, and the right to freedom of expression does not include behaviors that produce or could produce serious, and in the case of this pandemic, deadly impact on other citizens. One does not have the right to forms of political or other expression that kill or make ill other individuals.

Unlike  the  2014  and  2019  presidential  elections  which  brought  Joko  Widodo  vs. Prabowo Subianto together, according to Professor Kacung Marijan, Ph.D., in 2024 presidential election there will be extensive ‘menus’ that can be offered to the public. Some new candidates are predicted to enliven the 2024 presidential election, including DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan, Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo, and East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa. The writer added two more people on the list, namely Former DKI Jakarta Vice Governor Sandiaga Uno, and West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil. Preliminary knowledge of the psychological profile of the leaders is important as a basis for selecting future leaders for the people of Indonesia. In this study the writer tried to analyze the profile of one of the potential future leader of Indonesia, Ridwan Kamil (n = 1). At-a-distance measurement method is used to do biography analysis and big five analysis. This study concluded that Ridwan Kamil was a person with a high score on the dimensions of openness to experience and extroversion, was middle on conscientiousness, and was low on agreeableness and neuroticism. He doesn’t like the status quo. He likes to challenge the limit, both the limit of himself and his environment. The right words to describe Ridwan Kamil is a status quo breaker.Abstrak Tidak seperti pemilihan presiden (pilpres) tahun 2014 dan 2019 yang mempertemukan Joko  Widodo  vs.  Prabowo  Subianto,  menurut  Profesor  Kacung  Marijan,  Ph.D.,  pada  pilpres tahun 2024 nanti banyak ‘menu’ yang bisa disajikan untuk masyarakat. Beberapa kandidat baru diprediksi akan meramaikan pilpres 2024, di antaranya Gubernur DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan, Gubernur Jawa Tengah Ganjar Pranowo, dan Gubernur Jawa Timur Khofifah Indar Parawansa. Penulis  menambahkan  dua  orang  dalam  daftar  tersebut,  yaitu  Mantan  Wakil  Gubernur  DKI Jakarta Sandiaga Uno dan Gubernur Jawa Barat Ridwan Kamil. Pengetahuan awal tentang profil psikologis para tokoh tersebut menjadi penting sebagai dasar untuk memilih calon pemimpin masa depan bagi masyarakat Indonesia. Pada penelitian ini, penulis berusaha menganalisis profil salah satu tokoh potensial masa depan Indonesia, yaitu Ridwan Kamil (n=1). Metode pengukuran at-a-distance, digunakan untuk melakukan analisis biografi dan analisis big five. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan  bahwa  Ridwan  Kamil  adalah  seorang  dengan  skor  yang  tinggi  pada  dimensi openness to experience dan extroversion, menengah pada conscientiousness, dan rendah pada agreeableness dan neuroticism. Ia tidak menyukai status quo. Ia suka menantang ambang batas, baik itu ambang batas dirinya maupun lingkungannya. Kata yang tepat untuk menggambarkan Ridwan Kamil adalah seorang pendobrak status quo.

The purpose of the paper is the system analysis of legal, organizational, and procedural mechanisms of the realization of the right of the public and mass media on their participation in transparent and open criminal proceedings in the context of preventing corruption and economic crimes within the system of judicial power, as well as the development of scientifically substantiated recommendations for the improvement of the current legislation of Ukraine on the judicial system taking into account the most advanced international practices. The interconnectedness of effective implementation of the principles of transparency and openness of criminal proceedings with the restoration of trust in the judicial system from the side of civil society has been substantiated. Methodology. To solve the tasks set in the dissertation, the authors have used a complex of general and special scientific methods. Logical and cognitive methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction) made it possible to study general conditions for the organization and procedure of the implementation of the principles of transparency and openness during the cassation appeal of decisions in criminal proceedings. The system and structural method has assisted to determine the essential and content characteristics of the principles of transparency and openness within criminal proceedings, as well as to reveal their significance and correlation while ensuring the judiciary by the cassation court. The formal and legal method made it possible to reveal the proper legal procedure for implementing the principles of transparency and openness during the criminal proceedings by the cassation court. Modelling method allowed determining the ways to improve the legislation on the judiciary and criminal procedural legislation in part to more effective implementation of the principles of transparency and openness in the criminal procedure of Ukraine. The comparative and legal method was used in clarifying the relationship between the levels of domestic and international legal regulation of the implementation of the principles of transparency and openness of criminal proceedings. Experimental methods were used to construct grounded theoretical and applied provisions that adequately reflect the features and interrelations of the processes of implementing the principles of transparency and openness within criminal proceedings, confirmation or refutation of certain concepts, views, their examination by means of thought or subject experimentation based on practice criteria. Result of solving this purpose is to form the author’s understanding that members of the public (the general public) and mass media cannot be holders of jurisdictional rights, that is, those rights that are exercised in the course of court proceedings by involved persons as a result of their criminal procedural status (parties and other participants in criminal proceedings). That is, members of the public and the general public, as well as members of mass media, who are not entitled to the right for public court proceedings but are subjects to the right to obtain information about public court proceedings, the administration of transparent and open justice. Practical implications. Ensuring reliable public control over the judiciary through the widespread use of mass media will effectively prevent corruption and commission of economic crimes by the judges. Value/originality. Amendments and alterations to the national legislation on the judiciary and the Criminal Procedural Code have been offered, which would facilitate the more effective implementation of the right to transparent and open court proceedings by the public and mass media, ensure public control over the judiciary in the exercise of its procedural activities, and guarantee the right of every one to obtain information on the administration of justice in line with European standards.

This survey-based study ( n = 1,663) addressed charitable behaviors of fundraisers—key arbiters of others’ donations. Our research question was as follows: Are fundraisers’ charitable behaviors related to their professional identity? We found several anticipated differences in giving and volunteering behaviors (and their social determinants) in comparison with the general public and the influence of some fundraising-specific variables. Nearly all the fundraisers gave time and money and were more like one another than the public. On average, they gave more money and donated a higher salary share than the typical household. They volunteered at a higher rate and, excluding outliers, more hours than the average American. We contend that fundraiser charitable behavior and professional identity are interwoven. The professional norms regarding personal philanthropy may also be influenced through the self-selection of the inherently philanthropic into fundraising. Future research should examine formation of fundraiser professional identity and its outcomes more broadly.

After years of rapid economic development, environmental pollution has become a big concern to the general public in China. Numerous mass protests happened because of actual or perceived environmental pollution. This article makes a case study of three recent mass protests to find the features and deeper causes of mass protests for environmental issues. It concludes that, without sufficient information disclosure, the general public may still protest and the government may yeild, even if a project followed all governmental procedures and obtained all governmental approvals. This harms both the credibility of the government and the economy, and eventually the interests of the public. Chinese government has found the deeper causes and is working on the right direction.

In late 2016, the Constitutional Court delivered judgment in a case, Wickham v Magistrate, Stellenbosch 2017 1 BCLR 121 (CC), involving Wayne Anthony Wickham (an aggrieved father and applicant in this case), who appealed against the decision of the Magistrate's Court in which he was denied the opportunity to hand up a victim impact statement. The thrust of his application was that his rights, as a victim of the crime in which his son was negligently killed by the fourth respondent, had been violated, and that this raised an arguable point of law of general public importance. The respondents, however, argued that the applicant lacked standing as the dominus litis in culpable homicide cases is the public prosecutor, and not the relatives of the deceased, or the victim. The case turned on whether the exercise of discretion by the Magistrate in denying Wickham the right to be heard was performed correctly; and whether a non-party to criminal proceedings could make an application for the review of the Magistrate's conduct. The article seeks to interrogate the rights of victims in criminal proceedings and aptly poses the following question: Do victims of crimes have a locus standi to be part of criminal proceedings?
