Conflict between the territorial center for recruitment and social support and the civilian population

In today’s world, conflicts between territorial recruitment centers and civilians are becoming increasingly relevant and significant. This topic covers a wide range of issues related to the interaction of military structures and civil society, as well as the problems of social support and integration of military personnel into civilian life. The article examines the peculiarities and essence of the conflict between the civilian population and the Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support (hereinafter - TCR and SP). This topic examines the issue of illegal detention or abduction of a person by the employees of the TCR and SP under martial law, and the issue of violation of the constitutional rights of citizens. The main causes of conflicts between the civilian population and the TCR and SP include insufficient awareness of procedures and rights, ineffective communication between military structures and citizens, as well as problems in the organization and provision of social support. Conflicts can arise due to inequitable distribution of resources, bureaucratic obstacles and lack of transparency in the activities of the TCC and SP. Misunderstandings arise for a variety of reasons, including insufficient communication between military and civilian organizations, violations of current Ukrainian legislation, shortcomings in social policy, and the lack of adequate support and rehabilitation mechanisms. The study examines the main causes and consequences of such conflicts, as well as possible ways to resolve them. Particular attention is paid to the role of the state and civil society organizations in providing social support to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The essence of such conflicts lies in the confrontation between the interests of the civilian population and military structures, which can lead to a decrease in trust in state institutions, increased social tension and a deterioration in the quality of life of citizens. Conflicts can also affect the morale of not only military personnel but also the entire society, which requires special attention and support during martial law.

Региональные аспекты политической коррупции: методы и технологии

The purpose of the article is to analyze modern methods and techniques for implementing political corruption. To achieve this goal, the authors rely on a neo-institutional methodological approach. The negative consequences of corruption are observed in various spheres of public life. Corruption is especially destructive for political and socio-economic systems. When analyzing the political manifestations of corruption, it is necessary to take into account the economic and geopolitical situation. Thus, in conditions of partial international isolation of Russia, external threats to economic security are significantly increasing, the volume of shadow entrepreneurship is increasing, which can negatively affect the economic security of the region, the country and national security in general. This article examines the possibility of the presence of objective needs of subjects of management decisions in the processes of institutionalization of corruption relationships. Problems of integration of political corruption into the managerial and political-legal subsystems are addressed, which, according to the authors, leads to multiple functional distortions in the system of state institutions in the interests of latent structures. The authors note that real achievements in the fight against corruption become possible only through the interaction of civil society with the bodies and institutions of state power, the actualization of the values of civil activism in the sociopolitical participation of citizens.

Interaction of political power and civil society: theoretical and legal aspect

The article is devoted to the analysis of the theoretical and legal aspect of the interaction between political power and civil society. It was found that the interaction between political power and civil society is constantly gaining political sharpness and relevance, because the government cannot function effectively without mutual understanding and constructive interaction with civil society. Law-regulatory functions in relations between political power and civil society are defined. It has been found that currently in Ukraine the processes of both the formation of a democratic legal state and the institutionalization of civil society are taking place almost simultaneously, mutually complementing each other. The interaction between political power and civil society consists of two mutually responsible influences - the state on civil society and civil society on the state. Scientific views on the specificity and relevance of the interaction between political power and institutions of civil society are analyzed. It was established that the relationship between political power and civil society can be balanced only under the condition of "maturity" of civil society. Political activity of the public is a sign of a developed civil society and, accordingly, the foundation of democracy. It is theoretically substantiated that the main principles of interaction between political power and civil society include social partnership, ensuring equal opportunities, mutual responsibility, openness and transparency, non-interference, recognition by state authorities of various types of activities of public associations, increasing the effectiveness of the interaction process. The concept "vigorous civil society always weakens rather than strengthens democracy" is analyzed. The main reasons that prevent the proper interaction of the political authorities with the public are highlighted. It is substantiated that it is the effectiveness of the interaction between political power and civil society that determines the quality of the existing model of state-public administration, which has a direct impact on the process of state formation.

MNE–civil society interactions: a systematic review and research agenda

AbstractMultinational enterprises (MNEs) and civil society (CS) interact in many ways across countries, with significant implications for these actors and for broader society. We review 166 studies of MNE–CS interactions in international business, general management, business and society, political science, sociology, and specialized non-profit journals over three decades. We synthesize this large and fragmented literature to characterize the nature (cooperation or conflict) and context (geography, industry, and issue) of MNE–CS interactions and uncover their antecedents, outcomes, and moderators. Our review reveals important blind spots in our understanding of the antecedents and outcomes of MNE–CS interactions and uncovers substantial discrepancy between the contexts of real-world MNE–CS interactions and the contexts examined in the literature. We propose actionable recommendations to (i) better indicate and expand the contexts where MNE–CS interactions are studied; (ii) enrich understanding of the antecedents of MNE–CS interactions by leveraging institutional and cultural perspectives; (iii) reorient research on the outcomes of MNE–CS interactions by examining the temporal dynamics of MNE learning and legitimacy, and (iv) emphasize societal relevance as reflected, for example, in green capabilities and moral markets. We hope this review will inspire new inter-disciplinary perspectives on MNE–CS interactions and inform research addressing urgent societal challenges.

АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ ВОПРОСЫ ФИЛОСОФИИ ПРАВА Г.В.Ф. ГЕГЕЛЯ: СОВРЕМЕННЫЙ ОПЫТ ИССЛЕДОВАТЕЛЬСКОЙ РЕЦЕПЦИИ

This article is devoted to a systematic analysis of modern approaches related to the qualitative reception of the legal ideas of G.F.V. Hegel. Particular attention is paid to the permanent interaction of state institutions and civil society, integrated by the fundamental phenomenon of the national spirit. The authors consider the constructive transformations of the Hegelian ideal state, positioned as a natural embodiment of individual and collective freedom. The original interpretation of the legal subject, formed by an outstanding German thinker, receives a systematic assessment. The Hegelian concept of constructed law is evaluated from practical positions that determine the organic synthesis of professional rule-making and mass legal consciousness. The author's perspective also includes the legal axiology of the famous philosopher, which includes systemic ideas about the differentiated interaction of moral and normative mechanisms of social regulation. Methodological reflection is based on a qualitative analysis of classical binary oppositions and logical triads, characteristic of Hegelian philosophy and adapted to a comprehensive assessment of public and private law. The epistemological potential of the philosophical and legal part of Hegel's intellectual heritage is characterized as the optimal foundation for modern research practice, directed to a comprehensive study of Russian society and state institutions.

PROBLEMS OF INTERACTION OF CIVIL SOCIETY AND DEMOCRACY

The article examines the peculiarities and problematic issues of interaction between civil society and democracy in Ukraine. Weaknesses and difficulties that arise in the functioning of the institutions of civil society and democracy in Ukraine are identified, among them: the action of democracy outside civil society and the transformation of power into an authoritarian one; undeveloped mechanisms for the implementation of democracy; loss of confidence in democratic leadership; the creation and operation of a para-state apparatus made up of representatives of various associations, the purpose of which is to profitably receive benefits from the state; transformation of civil society institutions into an inexhaustible source of demands on the government; lack of a network of representative and institutionally developed public formations that are able to participate in management at the local, regional and national levels; non-partner model of interaction between the state and institutions of civil society. It was found that certain periods of the recent history of the Ukrainian state were characterized by manifestations of "facade democracy", in particular, the discrediting of democratic values among the population. Ways of solving certain problematic issues of the implementation of the interaction of democracy and civil society are proposed, among them: establishing, on the basis of a social contract, common interests and fundamental values that would be shared by the majority of civil society; fairness, clarity and transparency of the democratic decision-making procedure in the state; interaction of the democratic state with civil society on the basis of partnership.

Principles of constitutional law: essence, content and system

The publication is devoted to identifying the essence and content of the category of “principle of constitutional law” and identifying its relationship with related but not identical categories: values, ideals, foundations, principles, objectives, mandatory rules, laws, etc. Genesis and development of ideas about the principles of constitutional law and their consolidation in constitutions and constitutional acts are analyzed. The systematization of the main types of relevant principles and groups is carried out: principles of constitutionalism and constitutional doctrine, principles of science and education of constitutional law, principles of the constitution, as well as principles of constitutional law-making, law enforcement and justice (jurisdictional) activities. It is argued that modern constitutions enshrine in the norms-principles the most important values of the constitutional order: the rule of law, rule of law, freedom and democracy, the inviolability of fundamental human rights, etc. But their real embodiment presupposes unification and interaction of civil society with the state. Key words: principle, principle of constitutional law, system of principles of constitutional law, principle of constitutionalism, principle of the Constitution, principles of the science of constitutional law.

CONSOLIDATION AND INTERNATIONALIZATION OF CIVIL SOCIETY: NEW CHALLENGES, GLOBAL REALITIES AND TASKS

Institutions of civil society in the process of implementation of European integration policy

The purpose of the article is to investigate the impact of European integration processes on the development and diversity of civil society institutions in Ukraine. Methodology. The interdisciplinary approach to scientific knowledge in culturology, philosophy, political science, sociology has expanded the complex idea of ​​European integration criteria for the development of public institutions in Ukraine. The culturological method contributed to the introduction of data on the influence of civil society institutions on its development into the research structure. The method of statistical data analysis allowed us to trace the quantitative slice in the direction of increasing the institutions of civil society. The scientific novelty lies in the complexity of the approach to identifying synergies and interdependence of European integration and institutional citizenship processes in Ukraine. Conclusions. Realizing the national interests of Ukraine, the European choice opens new prospects for cooperation with the continent, promotes the development of civil society institutions, provides opportunities for economic progress, strengthens Ukraine's position in the world system of international relations, opens the way to collective structures of common security. Current trends in the development of civil society institutions in Ukraine in the context of European integration policy are: increasing the number of civil society institutions, flexibility of their response to public needs, different areas of their activities, media intensification in consolidating society, focusing on international legislation, use of grant projects; participation in international cultural practices. The scientific support of coordinated interaction of civil society with various branches of government on issues of European integration processes contributes to the improvement of the activity of civil society institutions. To do this, they use cultural, informational, consultative, dialogue, partnership tools for the implementation of European integration reforms in Ukraine. However, it is important to note that the interaction of Western states and civil society institutions is quite active and fruitful in contrast to the situation in Ukraine, where the state is interested in the development of these institutions, but they are not active enough in cooperation and positioning themselves in solving important problems, limited to the fragmentary participation in the life processes of the country.

Ukrainian Central Council as Revolutionary Parliament of Ukraine

The revolution of 1917-1921 is a bright page in the centuries-old history of the Ukrainian state. The special place in it belongs to Ukrainian Central Council (CCU), under the leadership of which Ukraine went through the difficult path of building its own state from autonomy to the proclamation of Ukrainian National Republic and its full state independence and sovereignty. Therewith, the CCU attempted to introduce democratic institutions and parliamentary forms of government. The relevance of the study is explained by the fact that this experience left a noticeable mark on the legal consciousness of Ukrainians and the attempt to build a parliamentary model has a considerable impact on the solution of modern problems of state creation. The purpose of the study is to analyse the organisation of Ukrainian Central Council as a parliamentary institution in the conditions of the revolution. A retrospective study of the CCU experience reflects the political interests of different groups of society, is useful for understanding modern problems of parliamentarism, the interaction of civil society and the state. The methodological basis for studying the structure, composition of the CCU, its legal forms of activity is based on philosophical, general scientific, and historical-legal methods of scientific knowledge. These methods allowed determining the main task of the CCU – the revival of Ukraine. It is concluded that state revival, as a constituent task which could be carried out only by a representative body that would be established on democratic principles, its composition would express the will of the people, and, if it had sufficient organisational and legal resources to fulfil this task (a stable structure, organisational and legal forms of activity, an effective auxiliary apparatus, the corresponding status of the deputies, the optimal work schedule)
