The business and moral image of the party officials of the "second echelon" of the Bashkir ASSR in the era of "Khrushchev's reformism"

The article examines the business and moral qualities of the party managers of the "second echelon" of the period of the "Khrushchev reforms" in the context of one of the major national republics of the RSFSR – the Bashkir ASSR. The authors reconstruct the appearance of middle-level party officials who adhered to double standards in their party management activities. The phenomenon of the formation of a "new-moral" communist party subject with a pronounced focus on wealth is also concretized, which contradicted the official discourse of a highly moral socialist personality, who is not only a party worker, but, above all, a disinterested communist. The new trend observed among the party officials of the "Khrushchev set" – industrial and moral emancipation, which did not entail the irreversibility of severe punishment, was one of the manifestations of the complex institutional process of the era of "Khrushchev reformism". We are talking about a change in the value paradigm in the form of the refusal of party officials from rigid stoicism and orientation towards satisfying their personal interests. The research methodology is based on the principles of critical research understanding of the activities of the BASSR party apparatus in 1953-1964. The structural and functional method made it possible to reconstruct the managerial and business portrait of the BASSR party members of the Khrushchev era.

Johnson and ‘Let’s keep Brexit done’: the instrumental use of the UK’s policy on Europe in Conservative Party management

The election of Boris Johnson as Leader of the Conservative Party in July 2019 radically changed both intra-party dynamics and the UK’s policy on Europe.

Web-Based Information Systems for Political Parties and Community Organizations Using Extreme-Programming Methods

Badan Kesatuan Bangsa dan Politik is expected to be able to carry out its tasks and functions as a promoter of government affairs in the area of national unity and politics. However, there is still a frequent process of verification of registration files of association organizations and political parties, which is interrupted so that the registration process becomes obstructed. There are no available data on the existence and management of both social organizations and political parties. Delivery of accountability reports for political party funds is always late so the financial administration process is hampered, causing low budget absorption. Delivery of data desks of elections of heads of district or general elections is still manual, so late incoming reports cause information to the leadership to be unupdated. The research is aimed at building a web-based information system that provides registration, verification and filing features for political parties and association organizations. The method used is Extreme Programming with phases of planning, design, encoding, and testing. The results of this study resulted in a reliable and easy-to-use information system and showed 100% accuracy of the black box test results.

Transformation of the management system of «La Lega» political party in Italy after 2013

In today’s realities, right-wing parties across Europe are rapidly gaining strength, attracting the special attention of researchers. In the Italian context, the right-wing «League» party is of interest, which in almost 10 years has been able to turn from disparate movements into one of the flagships of the right-wing coalition. The question of the reasons for such popularity is relevant both for Italy and for the whole of Europe, since the «League» is part of the current government, and its rating remains at a high level. The purpose of the article is to trace the evolution of the party management system, the formation of which occurred in 2013. It seems appropriate to consider the process of its formation under the leadership of Umberto Bossi; to analyze the structure of the «League» and the results of the 2018 elections in order to understand how successful the changes made by Matteo Salvini were. Following the evolution of the «League», we can conclude that the transformation of the management system occurred in response to the crisis of 2012, which undermined the trust of the electorate and destroyed the main system links of the party itself. There was a need to change not only communication, but also the organizational structure. As a result, a vertical structure was rebuilt, where de facto power is concentrated in the hands of the Federal Secretary, the position occupied by Matteo Salvini. The strategy was adjusted, the rhetoric softened, the positioning of the party and party logos changed, which allowed expanding the former party base and electorate. At the same time, the «League» was able to preserve its historical roots: the protection of traditional values and Italian identity

Political Parties Act as a Stumbling Block to Women’s Political Leadership in Tanzania

Abstract The international, regional and subregional conventions that Tanzania has ratified call for State Parties to regulate the functioning of political parties to, inter alia, promote the full participation of women in political leadership and in decision-making processes. The reintroduction of multiparty democracy in 1992 witnessed the enactment of the 1992 Political Parties Act to govern the registration and management of political parties. The Political Parties Act scarcely contained any specific provisions for advancement of women’s political leadership in political parties. The Act was amended in 2019 through the Political Parties Amendment Act (PPAA). While the PPAA requires political parties to adhere to the principles of gender and social inclusion in the nomination of its candidates, elections of its leaders and in the design of its policy documents, the provision is vague, non-binding, and hard to enforce. This article analyses the Political Parties Act of 1992, and its 2019 Amendment. It depicts legal gaps that negatively affect how women become party leaders, candidates, and benefit from parties’ resources and capacity building opportunities. The article makes recommendations to improve legal protection for the advancement of women’s access to political leadership.

Sustainability and Community: An Alliance to Reach Complete Neutrality with Nature

After the Covid epidemic, the conditions were created for a change in the geopolitical framework. But as Gramsci said “The new one is slow to arrive,” Maybe. But some important innovations on which the changes will be based are there for all to see. The widespread and rapid sentiment regarding global warming among communities globally, even before the serious evolution of the world under stress was announced and disseminated by the press and science. Because communities are forerunners of the sentiment spread by the universal laws that affect matter but also the laws of the human economy and therefore of life itself on the planet. There is nothing new in the fact that the communities were the first to incorporate concern for the planet's anomalies and that they give prevalence to the theme of the disease of the planet for anthropometric reasons compared to the social issues that usually absorb the debate between the parties. There is therefore a discontinuity between the communities attracted by the danger for future generations and the management of the political parties agitated by the conflict of positions due to the hunger for consensus. Now this hunger for consensus not only does not have a meeting point with the communities but is creating a discontinuity between the unitary tendency of the communities and the contentiousness index of the parties. It could be deduced that we have reached a turning point that puts the problem of the disease of the planet back at the highest point of interests and therefore the unitary tendency of the communities must prevail over the scattering of consensus among the politic parties. As if to say that we must move from the representative democracy of the parties to the direct democracy of the communities. In other words, moving from political governments to technical governments composed of experts and scientists given the growing and decisive importance on the lives of future generations of intervening to correct global warming of the planet.

Conceptual Problems of Political Parties Cadre Management in the Reform Era in Indonesia

This study describes the dynamics and practices of political party management in Indonesia after entering the reform era. The hopes for the welfare of the Indonesian people towards the existence of political parties in Indonesia have not shown significant results. Political parties are still trapped by internal interests compared to the big goal of improving the welfare of society, even the party's reputation in politics tends to decrease in society because of practices that violate the norms of decency.

The political party cadre system is unable to build cadre capacity, there is no capacity standardization in cadre recruitment, cadre capacity shifts to financial capacity, personal motivation is still unstable and always changes when cadres have occupied legislative positions and regional heads. The organizational climate of political parties is periodic, only before elections, there is no integrated teamwork in political parties, political work in political parties still depends on the interests of cadres. The leadership role in the lower regions is not able to translate the vision, mission and policy directives of the top level leaders, the top level leadership is unable to absorb aspirations and communication from the lower level leadership. This research has a novelty that the management of political parties really needs the implementation of human capital. The human capital approach is currently still being applied to profit institutions and has never been tested in non-profit institutions, namely political party organizations.

Risks and Opportunities of High-Quality Development of Higher Education from the Perspective of ISO45001:2018

At present, the requirements of the high-quality development of higher education in China make the management and control of occupational health and safety risk in universities highly valued. However, the following problems perplexing the universities are people have always ignored the combination of the safety problems and risk management, and there are few studies on its health risk, which makes the management and control of occupational health and safety risk in universities far lag behind the pace of high-quality development of higher education. Therefore, it is very necessary to build a risk evaluation system for high-quality development of higher education with the help of ISO45001:2018 occupational health and safety management system tools. To reduce the degree of subjective assignment of weights by human evaluators, this study uses improved AHP and 2-tuple linguistic information method to evaluate the impact of eight factors such as safety risk management and health risk activities on the development of higher education. In addition, three-level indicators for each two-level indicator from the compliance of measures from multiple angles and batches.

It will also help to improve the connotation of relevant party management and promote the high-quality development of higher education.

Gender Equality and Employment Regulation in the New Labour Years, 1997–2010: The Problem of the Gender Pay Gap

There has been little agreement about how to describe the forms of employment regulation adopted by New Labour governments from 1997 to 2010. It is often assumed that policy relating to women and employment falls under the broad heading of ‘partnership’ or ‘voluntary pluralism’. This rests on the view that female workers’ interests were articulated by trade unions and brought into the sphere of policy formulation through a process of dialogue via labour market organizations representing employers and employees; it also refers to the influence of European Union’s ‘social partnership’. The article instead views employment regulation during the New Labour years as hybridized, and subject to party management of unions. It argues that Labour could have done more to ‘call organized business’s bluff’ to strengthen work–family measures or equal-pay legislation. Its reluctance to do so led to missed opportunities for progressive social change, despite gains made by women within the Labour leadership circle and trade-unionists at key junctures.

David Cameron, Boris Johnson and the ‘populist hypothesis’ in the British Conservative Party

Brexit was often associated with a recent upsurge of populism in Western democracies, with the idea of re-engaging with the people being construed as a populist strategy to disengage from Europe. This article seeks to explore the populist hypothesis by stepping outside the dominant literature on populism to take a closer look at Peter Mair's ‘populist democracy’ as applied to two defining moments: David Cameron’s decision to hold a referendum on EU membership and Boris Johnson’s process of implementing Brexit. Mair's notion encompasses two aspects—procedural and substantive populism—which seem to apply to both moments. While Cameron's long leadership (2005–2016) reveals changes in governing practices and party management which have altered the nature of the relationship between the leader and the ‘people’, Boris Johnson’s (2019–) more contemporary leadership can be described as an illustration of a new populist rhetoric in its combination of hard Brexit, anti-immigration and anti-Parliament discourse. Although both leaderships expose ingredients of Mair’s two variants of populism, the ‘populist hypothesis’ does not hold in the light of the type of leaders that Cameron and Johnson have actually turned out to be.
