Higher Education Under Siege: Attacking Spaces of Hope in Palestine

ABSTRACT This paper examines attacks on higher education in Palestine through the lens of siege warfare. Focusing on attacks directed against Kadoorie campus in the West Bank city of Tulkarem, it argues that the combination of military, infrastructural, industrial and administrative tactics which have been used to isolate and enclose the campus; raid, injure, maim and kill people and animals; destroy property and key physical defences; degrade natural resources vital to its survival; disrupt university life and educational routines; and erode the physical and mental capacities of its students and staff over time, are not only illustrative of siege warfare but of ongoing and continuous attacks on Palestinian futures in the present. In so doing, this paper seeks to advance cross-disciplinary conversations on the spatial-temporal dynamics of modern siege warfare, and to draw more direct attention to the strategic confluence that exists between settler colonial violence and siege warfare in practice.

Вице-губернатор в системе управленческой элиты степных областей ЗападноСибирского и Степного генерал-губернаторств во второй половине XIX–начале XX века

The article analyzes the position of Vice-governor in the system of administrative elite of Akmola, Semipalatinsk and Semirechensk regions of the Russian Empire. Using the normative-legal base of local institutions of these regions, the «formal» position of officials in this position in the general structure of administrative power is characterized. Management in steppe regions is characterized by remoteness of territories from the center of decision-making, high share of nomadic population, marginal position. In this regard, the peculiarities of the position of Vice-governors in the steppe regions and in the interior of Russia are revealed. One of the important features of the service of these officials is the combination of military and civil power in the steppe regions and the lack of a clear division of responsibilities between the elements of the administrative elite. For the socio-cultural characterization of the composition of the Vice-governor corps we used the form lists and personal files of officials kept in the archives: the Historical Archive of the Omsk Region, the Russian State Historical Archive and the Central State Archive of the Republic of Kazakhstan. These data are published for the first time. The article concludes with a socio-cultural portrait of a typical Vice-governor of a steppe region, an analysis of the typical career trajectories of the official and a comparison of the scope of authority with similar officials from internal Russian provinces.

Internal migration and displaced persons in Ukraine: Governing policies and protections by the administrative courts

The relevance of the study lies in the fact that Ukraine is in a state of military conflict, which has caused an increase in the number of internal migrants, as well as the need to update the current legislation to regulate their status in accordance with the new realities of life. The purpose of the study was to study the main provisions of the state policy regarding internal migrants in Ukraine, the basics of legal regulation of the status of this category of population, the determination of the potential and consequences of internal migration for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, as well as its development trends and reasons for its spread at the current stage, highlighting the features of internal migration on based on the conducted analysis. In accordance with the set goal, the task of the research was to study the general positions on the settlement of disputes in Ukraine on the protection of the rights and freedoms of internal migrants in the aspect of administrative and procedural law. General methods (analysis, synthesis, dogmatic, dialectical) and special methods (formal-logical, legal hermeneutics) were used during the research in order to achieve its goals and objectives. In addition to the methods of scientific knowledge of the theoretical orientation, empirical methods of research (description, comparison) were used. The result of the study was the substantiation of the proposition that the analysis of the general dynamics of the legal regulation of administrative responsibility for violations of migration legislation indicates the existence of two most common trends: the strengthening of punishments for offences in the context of armed aggression against Ukraine, as well as the systematic criminalization of acts, an increase in the number of administrative offences and crimes. The conclusion of the study was the argumentation of the position that internal migration in Ukraine at the current stage has a hybrid nature, caused by a combination of factors of different directions, a combination of military, economic and social factors, which must be taken into account when reforming the policy of public administration in the specified area. The practical significance of the research is that there is currently a military conflict in Ukraine, which causes complex processes of internal migration, and its results are effective for use in developing practical recommendations for updating legislation in the specified area in order to reduce or eliminate the negative consequences that may be caused by internal displacement of the population.

Peculiarities of Russian expansion towards Turkic and Finno-Ugric peoples (last quarter of the 15th – middle of the 19th century): historical and legal paradigm

The article considers the peculiarities of socio-political and state-legal processes associated with the course of Russian expansion against the Turkic and Finno-Ugric peoples during the last quarter of the XV – mid-XIX centuries. The author emphasizes that due to the meaning of Russia’s existence as a state, traditionally in its political and legal doctrine, war has always been interpreted as a continuation of foreign policy in peacetime, which determined the features of Russia’s foreign policy. It is noted that the beginning of Russia’s direct seizure of Turkic and Finno-Ugric possessions is associated with the conquest of such great powers as the Kazan, Astrakhan and Siberian Khanates. In general, the peculiarities of Russian expansion in relation to the Turkic and Finno-Ugric peoples include the following: ideological conditionality; paying considerable attention to the preparatory phase of expansion; combination of military and hybrid means of influencing the conquered peoples; application of a wide range of methods of national assimilation after the conquest of territories; development and implementation of a wide range of measures of influence in case of possible cases of disobedience among the local population; support of expansion at all stages by means of information and psychological struggle. It is emphasized that the ideology of Russian expansionism has been supplemented by the following basic provisions: in the process of resolving international conflicts, force must always prevail, not justice; the victors of military conflicts are listened to and agreed with, they are not judged or complained about, even when they commit atrocities, they are not reproached for any sins; weak, backward and dependent states should be subjugated and left no chance for revival; in the event that the state, which was previously in the rank of winner, has weakened and can no longer defend its privileged position, it must be attacked and killed as soon as possible; acceptance of persistent, growing aggression in relations with weakened states as the basis of military-political tactics; the use of a wide arsenal of means of assimilation of the population both on the eve of expansion and in all its subsequent stages, the development of theories about the “backwardness” of peoples.
