Foreign Policy Planning and the Effectiveness Evaluation of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Bodies

Introduction. The paper aims to study the features of cascading goals and requirements for the activities of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the level of strategic documents of foreign policy planning to the duties of diplomatic servants, describe a mechanism for assessing the achievement of these priorities, identify gaps between them and work out ways to optimize. Methods and materials. The author applies the following methods: comparative legal, structural and logical, classification, comparison, analysis of quantitative and qualitative indicators, decomposition of goals. Regulatory legal acts and materials of law enforcement practice are studied. Analysis. An analytical tool was developed to assess the level of effectiveness of foreign agencies of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Results. The paper reveals the redundancy and duplication of foreign policy planning goals. It is advisable to formulate foreign policy priorities in the “Foreign Policy” Public program. Gaps between the goals of the state’s foreign policy and the goals that guide diplomatic institutions are identified. The author proposes measures to optimize the control and reporting of overseas agencies. It is proposed to change the personnel paradigm of the diplomatic service from bureaucratic to active (focus on solving large-scale problems) and intermediary (search for compromises). To conduct a coordinated foreign policy, it is necessary to generalize the dynamics of the activities of all foreign agencies, objectively evaluate their contribution to the achievement of foreign policy priorities.

Empowered and resilient: Educating young people in neoliberal ideology

This article recovers the concept of "Ideology", anathematised by postmodern hegemony; here, taken out of the theoretical opprobrium in which it is found, I use it to carry out a critique of a youth-oriented community development program in the city of Barcelona. This approach should not be an exception, given that young people are so mercilessly bombarded with social programs elaborated around clearly ideological concepts such as "resilience" or "empowerment". Contrary to a certain commonplace narrative that defends the withdrawal of the state while facing the forces of the market, that process of neoliberal ideologisation is carried out not only with the acquiescence of states, but also with their active participation. The analysis of a public program such as this one shows, empirically, how governments are complicit with market forces through programs that transmit and put into practice neoliberal ideology.

Situasi Pembiayaan Kesehatan Untuk Manajemen Penyakit Tidak Menular Di Pelayanan Primer Berbagai Negara Selama Pandemi Covid-19

Di era pandemi COVID-19, klien dengan Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM) di tatanan komunitas memiliki kendala dalam melakukan perawatan yang membutuhkan konsultasi tenaga kesehatan (perawat/dokter). Sebab, pelayanan primer cukup membatasi kegiatan yang bersifat public program. Guna tetap memberikan perawatan yang optimal, beberapa pelayanan primer di berbagai negara membuat inovasi untuk tetap memberikan perawatan secara virtual. Namun, hal tersebut ternyata juga memiliki hambatan, terutama berkaitan dengan pembiayaan kesehatan. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah untuk menyajikan gambaran dasar tentang dinamika yang terjadi terkait dengan pembiayaan kesehatan untuk perawatan PTM di pelayanan primer berbagai negara selama pandemi COVID-19. Studi ini merupakan studi literatur yang menggunakan tiga online database sebagai media pencarian artikel ilmiah yang dikehendaki, yaitu PubMed, Scopus, dan Google Scholar. Hasil penelusuran ditemukan 7 artikel yang sesuai dengan kriteria. Pembiayaan kesehatan untuk perawatan klien dengan PTM di pelayanan primer berbagai negara mempunyai dinamika yang berbeda. Namun, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pelayanan primer masih cenderung tertinggal dibanding pelayanan sekunder, apalagi dari segi pembiayaan. Perlu ditekankan kembali, bahwa PTM sangat berkontribusi tinggi pada kejadian morbiditas dan mortalitas masyarakat. Tetapi, itu semua mampu dicegah ketika pembiayaan di pelayanan primer untuk pelaksanaan program promotif dan preventif cukup adekuat.
