Взаимосвязь доверия к власти и гражданского участия

Purpose. To determine the limits of the integrative nature of the category “trust in government” and analyze the mutual influence of the level of trust in government and management and the level of civic activity of the population, as well as raise the question of the dual influence of the process of strengthening trust in government. Methodology: dialectics, analysis. Conclusions. On the one hand, trust is a factor in the stability of the state system and a predictor of active civic participation. Strengthening trust in the authorities on the part of the population is permanently necessary. But, on the other hand, a high level of trust in the authorities reduces the indicators of civil participation of the population in solving the affairs of society and the state. Due to the fact that increasing the level of trust, as practice shows, reduces the civic activity of the population, it is necessary to look for ways to activate the participation of citizens in the affairs of society and the state, to create a culture of participation in society while strengthening trust in the activities of government bodies. Scientific and practical relevance: scientific and practical significance. The article is aimed at raising questions for the research activities of legal scholars and the work of practitioners about finding directions for activating civic participation, a balance between measures to increase trust in authorities and maintaining citizens’ interest in participation, co-production and management.

О местном самоуправлении в Грузии в конце XX – начале XXI вв.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the features of local self-government in the Republic of Georgia at the end of the 20th–21st centuries. This study allows us to assess the legal development of local self-government in Georgia during the period under review and analyze the problems of interaction between central and local authorities. According to the author, in the conditions of managing society during the period under review in Georgia, elements of state administration and local self-government were combined. Throughout the 20th century, methods of public administration were predominant. However, already at the beginning of the 21st century, the process of changing the functions of managing the affairs of society actualized the problem of creating an independent system of self-government. This was partly facilitated by Georgia’s accession to the Council of Europe in 2000, and as a consequence of this, by the assumption of obligations to reduce the direct influence of the state on local governments, as well as the formation of exclusively elected local authorities. Consequently, improving the structure of local self-government in the Republic of Georgia, on the one hand, and the procedure for its interaction with government bodies, on the other, constituted the content of municipal construction at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries.

Modeling Extreme Values of Non-Stationary Precipitation Data with Effects of Covariates

Background/Objectives: Climate change is one of the most challenging problems of recent decades as it is highly volatile and needs a very effective scientific approach to find a solution. Further, the changes in the climate especially extreme cases have a more negative influence on day to day affairs of society. Hence, developed countries pay much attention to climate change and make policies at a global level. To find the scientific solution for these kinds of climate change, Extreme value theory offers effective methods for estimating and quantifying these types of natural hazards associated with climate. Methods: Block (Annual) maxima and peak over threshold are two strategies employed in this theory. The data observed on precipitation are mostly having non-stationary characteristics along with covariates. The generalized extreme value distribution and generalized Pareto distribution are used to model this type of non-stationary stochastic process. Findings: This study proposes a pragmatic automated dual-phase threshold selection technique that employs the entropy method to combine the results from various goodness of fit tests into a single unified measure known as the evaluation indicator, resulting in an efficient threshold for capturing extreme values. This allows for a more comprehensive examination of various thresholds using evaluation indicators and avoids assessing each test criterion individually. Novelty: In contrast to the subjective results of threshold stability plots, the dual-phase technique is based on numerical computations, which reduce bias and improve decision-making objectivity. We illustrate the applicability of the proposed technique by analyzing a precipitation dataset that includes time and wind speed as covariates. The results of the comparative analysis reveal that the proposed automated dual-phase threshold approach outperforms the peaks over threshold and annual maxima methods. Keywords: Non-stationary, Extreme values, Annual maxima, Threshold selection, Evaluation indicator

Social and psychological characteristics of personal alienation of older people during the war

In times of war, the elderly are a vulnerable category of the population that experiences not only material losses but also significant psychological and social challenges. Observing and studying the social and psychological characteristics of personal alienation of this group of people is an urgent task, as it can determine the quality of their lives and contribute to the development of effective support programmes. The article presents a study of the socio-psychological factors of personal alienation of the elderly. The authors analyse and consider the main approaches to understanding the concept of alienation. The article describes the author's model of the emergence of personal alienation in the elderly, which demonstrates the mechanism and process of the emergence and development of personal alienation in the elderly, and also considers the peculiarities of experiencing personal alienation by the elderly during the war. The model of personal alienation includes: a change in social status, an increase in the amount of unoccupied time, a decrease in the number of social contacts and a decrease in social activity, which in turn lead to the experience of non-compliance with social norms and standards, which causes a limitation of own resources and leads to personal alienation. The article also presents and discusses the author's structural model of personal alienation of the elderly. The proposed structural model identifies the socio-psychological and psychological factors that characterise the personal alienation of the elderly. The socio-psychological factors include: refusal to participate in the affairs of society, reduced social responsibility and social distancing. The psychological factors of personal alienation include: isolation, maladaptability, consistency in achieving goals, life goals, interest in life, conscious loneliness, emotional rejection of the present, negative assessment of the past, and anxiety. Personal alienation leads to a loss of subjectivity, which, due to the reduction of social contacts and social exclusion, further intensifies the experience of personal alienation by older people.

Constitution is the superior most legal document containing guiding principles for legislation and fundamental laws of the state. It is most reliable source of regulating affairs of state institutions, society and citizens. The Constitution is the most effective vigilance instrument for keeping the discretionary powers of the rulers and holding them responsible and accountable. It is the most authentic guarantee for protection of fundamental human rights. The prescriptive nature of Constitution makes it representative of democratic aspirations of the public, expressed through popular mandate. The holy Quran is the foundational basis of Constitution in a Muslim state, founded to fulfill the aspirations of adherents of Islam. The most prominent Quranic principles for Constitution making include the belief that sovereignty belongs to Allah almighty alone and obedience to the holy Prophet (PBUH) is obligatory in all affairs of the state. The raison d’être of a principled Islamic state, amr bil maroof and nahi anil munkir, is never to be ignored or disregarded. The principles of mutual consultation and coordination, entrustment of key positions to eligible individuals and protection of fundamental human rights are the hallmarks of Constitution. Treaty of Madina in the first Muslim state founded by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the pragmatic manifestation of these divine principles.

The analysis proceeds from the fact that the social contract is independent scientific and social phenomenon that embodies various forms of social concord (social contract) between the people and the state, given that they are not only open, but also latent, reflecting the deep processes taking place in the public mind. Based on the criteria inherent in the social contract the article characterizes the goals, means of achieving them, the effectiveness of feedback and participation of the people in managing the affairs of society and state. It gives an analysis of the process of its formation and functioning in modern Russian society. Special consideration is also given to worldview attitudes and values focused on the role of labor and education in the life of society and state. It is noted that the social contract can be compared with social glue, which manifests itself through the conscious participation of the people in social development, which indicates the degree of its effectiveness and efficiency in the state preserving and strengthening

Methodological principles of the study of administrative-delict legal relations in the field of the election process

Introduction. Attention is focused on the fact that, given the complexity of the structure of law itself, the degree of generalization of data about the object of knowledge, the differences and variety of methods, they can be divided into: philosophical, the scope of which is quite wide. It is dialectical, metaphysical, logical. The methodological base includes general scientific methods that are used in the vast majority of sciences: anthropological, axiological, historical, systemic, structural-functional, synergistic, hermeneutic, behavioristic, instrumental, modeling, cybernetic, mathematical, statistical. Special methods are also used, which are widespread for certain sciences or spheres of practical activity: socio-engineering, sociological, comparative legal and dogmatic. The set of applied methods and given assumptions make it possible to build such a model: the electoral process is a complete, self-organized system that ensures a certain type of organization of power, the participation of society in the formation of state bodies. The purpose of the paper is to analyze techniques, ways of studying administrative-delict legal relations in the field of the election process, to highlight in the process of synthesis of knowledge, essential connections between this law and society, to explain and generalize the results of empirical research, to identify general patterns and their formalization. Results. The electoral process is one of the central and key elements of electoral law. The format of elections, their outcome, as well as the future policy of the state depends on it. The electoral process is an indispensable element of modern civilization, an element of any democracy, which cannot exist at all without authorized representation, which ensures the real participation of the population in managing the affairs of society and the state. The scientific novelty is that the application of the methods listed above will make it possible to highlight controversial issues of legal reality from a philosophical and legal standpoint, namely to consider the election process as an integral element of the functioning of society, accordingly, the task of the state is to ensure and promote the right to vote for all citizens. Conclusions. All the analyzed methods do not exist in isolation from each other, as each of them deepens a certain aspect of philosophical and legal knowledge in the study of administrative-tort law relations in the field of the election process, while in aggregate they will reveal the specified issue in its entirety.

PRIVATE AND PUBLIC LAW AS INITIAL LEGAL PRINCIPLES IN THE WORKS OF SERGEY SERGEEVICH ALEKSEEV

This topic is updated by the recent change in the nomenclature of legal scientific specialties, where the central place is assigned to public and private law. The purpose of the article is to study the approaches of S.S. Alekseev to the analysis of private and public law; to their interaction and relationship. Special legal, biographical, hermeneutical and comparative legal methods are used. S.S. Alekseev justifies that the main division of law expresses its deep, initial principles, and hence the fundamental features that appear within the framework of these areas of law, each of which is distinguished by a kind of legal instrument. S.S. Alekseev proves that the main division of law expresses its deep, initial principles, and hence the fundamental features that are manifested within the framework of these areas of law, each of which is distinguished by a kind of legal instrument. Public and private law have their own «spirit», the initial beginnings, the principles, features. Moreover, despite the «strength» and the leading nature of public law in modern legal systems, private law is historically and logically the first subsystem of law that laid its fundamental features in general. The two legal subsystems cannot exist without each other. They are inseparable, but everyone has its own tasks, functions, and its own subject of regulation. Public law is necessary for the authorities to regulate their existence and manage the affairs of society, but the state apparatus is less interested in the existence and development of private law. However, without private law, or if it exists, but with serious diminution or deformation, public law also suffers. Private law disappears under socialism and therefore a logical and important result of the study of the teachings of S.S. Alekseev on public and private law today, in the context of the country's transition to democracy, respect for human rights and a market economy, is the conclusion that the revival of private law in Russia is necessary.

Persuasion and administrative coercion as methods of public (state) administration

The article reveals the essence, purpose and content of these management methods, their objective conditionality by material and superstructure factors, the state structure of society, which can be democratic or totalitarian. It follows from this that not a single state, including the Russian Federation, is free in the choice of methods of managing the affairs of society. The main method of influencing public relations, the interaction of people is persuasion. The slogan of the classic — “We must at all costs first convince, and then compel” — remains unshakable in our days. The article provides specific signs of persuasion and administrative coercion, which make it possible to clearly distinguish them, not to oppose and not to lose, as happened in modern life with persuasion and its most important form — education.

Ukraine’s Way to a Consolidated Democracy: Issues, Prospects and International Experience

The article is devoted to current issues of democratic progress of Ukraine within the framework of the constitu-tional and legal provision of direct government by the people. Some aspects of the civil society formation are also considered. The reasons which do not allow Ukraine to be identified as a consolidated democracy in the light of international experience have been analyzed.The article analyzes the difficulties faced by Ukraine in the process of democratic transformation. Democratic state is a state based on the theory of popular sovereignty and the recognition of the people as the only source of power, the consistent guarantee of human and civil rights and freedoms, ensuring their equality, real participation in the management of the affairs of society and the state.Despite the existence of formal institutions of democracy and government by the people, the Ukrainian democ-racy shouldn’t be overestimated, paying particular attention to the essential aspects. Ukraine cannot be considered as consolidated democracy for all indicators. Democratic progress is considered slow, as corruption and a limited field of public initiative stand in the way.Currently, the problem of ensuring a genuine effect for the decisions of the all-Ukrainian referendum is an overdue issue. It is urgent to solve another problem in the sphere of direct democracy, namely the legislative settlement of the issue of local referendums, which have been actually impossible for the last eight and a half years. The adoption of this law is of paramount importance to our society – it can reduce social tensions and change the protest area – from ineffective demonstrations to productive and constructive voting.In terms of sustainable, consolidated democracies, Ukraine still remains an electoral, that is, unstable country. And for its final establishment, transformation into a consolidated one a great amount of time is still needed.

Some Aspects of Coordination of Activities and Information Support of Information-Communicative Services of the System of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine

In the new working conditions of the National Police of Ukraine, when the basis of activity is the prevention and prediction of offenses and crimes, solving crimes in hot pursuit, there is a steady tendency to further increase the volume of information about the causes of individual crimes and the conditions conducive to their commission, to find the most effective forms and methods prevent them. So, now in the activities of the National Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine there are topical issues of analysis of the regulatory framework of the state information and communication policy, the right to cover and comment on the activities of public authorities, in particular, the National Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the interaction of the National Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine with the public , features of the activities of the press services of the National Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine as a source of official information, the principles of planning and activities of press services based on regulatory documents, scientific and methodological literature and foreign experience, as well as the main goals, functions and tasks of the press service, is the basis design and construction of the organizational structure of the communication units of the National Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to determine some aspects of coordination of activities and information support of information and communication services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. Methodology. In preparing the article, certain general scientific and specially scientific methods of cognition were used, in particular: historical, philosophical and legal, comparative, systemic, functional, generalization. Scientific novelty. As a result of an empirical study, it was determined that solving the problem of forming the information and communication policy of the National Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and civil society requires institutional, organizational, financial and scientific support. An important role in a democratic society is played by the press services. They bring information about the activities of state authorities, in particular, the National Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine to citizens, timely respond to events that concern the population. The problem of information and communication activities of the National Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine is of particular importance during the transition period and the formation of civil society. Under these conditions, the information and communication activities of law enforcement agencies are important, primarily as a factor in the formation of a new type of state-society relationship, and the rejection of the model of irresponsibility of state bodies. Conclusions. An analysis of the problem of determining some aspects of the coordination of activities and information support of information and communication services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine showed that, in accordance with the current legislation of Ukraine, information and communication services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine is an integral component of administrative law entities. The legal status of these services is a combination of tasks, functions, rights and duties that they exercise in legal relations arising between the information services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other law enforcement units, the media, labor collectives, and the population. The implementation of these rights and obligations is aimed at achieving the goal of the functioning of the information services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, ensuring the fulfillment of tasks related to interaction with the media, the public, public organizations in order to prevent crime, informing about the state of public order in the state, measures by law enforcement agencies, to strengthen and form a positive image of the police. Improving the activities of the information services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ensure public order also requires the establishment of their effective interaction with public human rights organizations. The forms of such interaction can be very diverse – from informing each other about the results of their activities, to implementing joint actions to identify and suppress violations of human rights and freedoms in various areas of law enforcement. To ensure the effectiveness of this interaction, it is advisable to implement it on scientific principles

Covid-19 and the Return of the State in Africa

ABSTRACT As African countries battled the Covid-19 crisis in 2020, one of the questions that were raised was whether the state was taking a central stage in the affairs of society, especially solutions to major problems. The question was triggered by the fact that there has been a decline in the capacity, role and prestige of the state in Africa for decades. Yet it seems that the responses to Covid-19, following the WHO guidelines, have placed the state at the centre, without dislocating other stakeholders like the private sector and the civil society. This paper uses the evidence from a select number of African countries of different sizes in various regions of the continent to provide an empirical perspective on the role of the state in Covid-19 responses in 2020 to answer the question of whether Covid-19 has occasioned a return of the state, thus reversing the neoliberal designs in favour of a lean and mean state in Africa.

Public governance and transformation Ukrainian model of civil society

The task of the reformers of the modern administrative system of Ukraine is to search for the optimal, harmonious balance of state participation in public affairs, with the creation of a set of mechanisms for interaction between the government and society that would not hinder, but contribute to the development of civil society. Such conditions should help the modern model to gradually transform into the Ukrainian model.The purpose of the article is to analyze the processes of development of civil society in Ukraine, formulate proposals and recommendations of theoretical and practical significance regarding its transformation into a Ukrainian model in the public administration system.It is proposed: to transform the existing “catching up” model into the Ukrainian model of civil society, going through three stages: I – identification of the consequences of the post-Soviet past; II – overcoming problematic phenomena, according to the proposed directions; III - according to the developed system of indicators (indicators), control the update process. A harmonious balance of the participation of state institutions in the affairs of society will protect civil society from unnecessary impact, but will create conditions for its development. The model focuses on the citizen (free individual), from whom the entire system of public administration is built; relations between civil society and power are based on the principles of individualism, not collectivism. The author summarizes: the formation of the Ukrainian model of civil society should take place taking into account the cultural-historical, national-ethnic and socio-economic characteristics of Ukraine's development. The focus of this model is the citizen, from whom the entire system of public administration is built. The model provides for a developed system of democratic institutions; legal protection of citizens; competition of institutions, structures, social groups of the population, etc.; recognition and provision of a wide range of human rights and freedoms; free formation of public opinion, pluralism; high level of civic culture and education of the population; diversified economy; specific and determining weight in the middle class society (40–70%); a developed system of self-government (thanks to the introduction of multi-level management) the predominance of social policy in the activities of the state (focusing efforts on increasing economic efficiency and general welfare).

ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ ПРИМЕНЕНИЯ ДОКТРИНЫ «СНЯТИЯ КОРПОРАТИВНОЙ ВУАЛИ» ПРИ ПРИВЛЕЧЕНИИ К СУБСИДИАРНОЙ ОТВЕТСТВЕННОСТИ КОНТРОЛИРУЮЩИХ ДОЛЖНИКА ЛИЦ В РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ: СРАВНИТЕЛЬНО-ПРАВОВОЙ ПОДХОД

The article discusses the issue of the formation of the doctrine of “piercing the corporate veil” in various legal systems in order to determine the possibility of its application when bringing persons controlling the debtor to subsidiary liability in case of insolvency (bankruptcy) in Russia. In the study, general and specific methods of cognition were used: retrospective, historical, logical, and comparative legal. Methods of logical analysis and dialectics were applied, which together with the seeming contradictions of a significant number of scholarly views allow concluding about their unity and constructiveness. It has been established that, in order to use the “piercing” doctrine as a procedural tool to ignore the property isolation of a legal entity, the courts conduct multi-stage tests to justify the need for such use and prove the exclusivity of the case in question. The importance of the legislative introduction of the concept “person controlling the debtor” is noted in connection with the use of corporate structures and forms of informal control, as well as clear criteria for control and circumstances that presume harm to creditors. Based on the analysis of judicial practice, conclusions were drawn about the main ways of abuse of rights when using corporate governance. The question of the possibility of including the claims of participants (shareholders), company managers and interested parties in the register of claims of the debtor’s creditors is problematic in judicial practice. It is concluded that, due to being in the same legal family, the approach of German law enforcement officers to piercing the corporate veil, better known as responsibility for “destructive interference” in the affairs of society, and to recovering damage caused to creditors under the current legislation is close to Russian law. In this connection, the practice of applying the doctrine in Germany can be regarded as a useful experience for Russian law. Taking into account the precedent legal nature of the doctrine of “piercing the corporate veil”, the authors come to the conclusion that it is impossible to borrow it by domestic law. At the same time, Russian law, the main source of which is normative legal acts, if necessary, selects current trends in ways of solving problems that meet the needs of society and the legal community.

In Defense: New York Times v. Sullivan

New York Times v. Sullivan, the landmark Supreme Court case that helped shape our understanding of the First Amendment, is under attack. Twice now in opinions accompanying orders relating to certiorari, Clarence Thomas and, more recently, Neil Gorsuch have drawn into doubt the rule recognized in that case: that public official libel plaintiffs must plead and ultimately prove that a defendant published knowing the defamatory statement was false or with a high degree of awareness that it probably was. They either want to throw this “actual malice” rule out altogether or reexamine its implications and, potentially, prune it back. While some of these attacks are focused on more pragmatic concerns, a central attack, shared by both Thomas and Gorsuch, is that Sullivan is ahistorical and thus divorced from an original understanding of the First Amendment at the time of the Founding or the Reconstruction. Many commentators have seemingly accepted this assessment uncritically. This article challenges that view. It marshals substantial historical evidence that rebuts several of the justices’ specific historical arguments. More fundamentally though, through marshaling this evidence, it demonstrates that far from adopting the English common law of libel in the early United States, the Founders, federal and state legislatures, courts, and parties in litigation adopted a uniquely American understanding of freedom of the press - one where the severe rules of the English common law of libel were rejected so that citizens in a newly formed republican government could freely debate the conduct of those with power over the affairs of society.

The problem of formation and assertion of national identity of residents of territorial communities remains urgent even on the 30th year of building of an independent, democratic, sovereign state of Ukraine. After all, we are seeing a new social phenomenon in Ukraine – decentralization and formation of territorial communities. The article is devoted to the problem of acquiring and preserving the national and cultural identity of the individual not only in society but also in each territorial community.The article analyzes the reasons for the removal of a certain part of citizens from the affairs of society, the passivity of a part of Ukrainians, which made it possible to justify the need for educational work in territorial communities. After all, educational work is needed to activate citizens to show interest in unity for the benefit of change, which will contribute to social protection and support against the threat of moral and psychological alienation of the individual from work, initiative to contribute to the changes in ethnic, cultural and social development in modern Ukraine.It is emphasized that the educational work is to combine ethnic, social, spiritual, political, historical interests on the basis of inter-ethnic harmony, thereby eliminating contradictions, ensuring the rights of each person as a representative of the Ukrainian political nation, which is formed at the present stage by enabling each person to become an «acting entity» of building a democratic Ukraine.It is proved that an important factor in the consolidation of Ukrainian society at the current stage of decentralization are national and universal human values and identification of Ukrainian citizens with them, and this will promote unity with the purpose of efficiency of state formation in the diversity of views, thoughts, ideas, actions.The conclusion is made about the need for further improvement of ethnopolitics in Ukraine, while preserving ethnic and national identity, which will thus contribute to the transformation of society on the path to democratization and European integration.

Implementation of principles of the criminal process during an accelerated pre-judicial investigation in the Republic of Kazakhstan

An important idea of the modern law and order is the formation of an effective legal system that manages the affairs of society, ensuring the implementation of the tasks assigned to it by the influence of various social processes. The basis for the formation, organization and functioning of such mechanisms are certain legislative principles, ideas and requirements, which in theory are called principles. It is these principles that formed the basis of the legal mechanism for the activities of bodies and officials involved in the process. The principle of rationality as the basis of criminal proceedings. The system of principles of the criminal process, first of all, determines the norms of the criminal process and the content of the criminal procedure, designed to ensure a unified practice of their application. In this regard, even if the principles are directly concentrated in the law, they can achieve their goals if they arise as a result of the analysis of certain norms of the criminal process. The principle of rationalism is reflected in the decisions of the participants in the criminal process and their actions. Legally important quality, reasonable forecast, reasonable understanding or legitimacy of physically justified actions, the criteria are the legitimacy of the actions of a legal entity in specific situations, their compliance with the likely behavior of a reasonable person in a specific situation. Key words: state, law, law, court, process, criminal proceedings.
