Ultimate Outcome

The world changed on August 19, 1991. On that date, a self-styled “Emergency Committee” of conservative Politburo members attempted to derail and reverse the process of structural reform that had started some six years earlier under the sponsorship of Mikhail S. Gorbachev. The coup backfired two days later because its leaders misunderstood a central political fact of life after perestroika—namely, that political events could no longer be scripted to suit the changing tastes of the party elitte. While the plotters probably suspected as much—indeed, that was one of the reasons why they initiated the coup in the first place—their mistake was in overestimating their capacity to put a stop to this “state of anarchy.” While the vast majority of Soviet citizens acted precisely as the Emergency Committee expected them to—with utter indifference to the ultimate outcome of this elite power struggle—a small minority did not. It was this opposition, not only in the streets, but within party, military, and security organs, that defeated the coup and ushered in the momentous changes that we are experiencing today.

Pension Insurance System

Introduction. Investigation of foreign experience of structural pension reform is important for Ukraine. Pension insurance system in Ukraine has not been reformed in time therefore now it should go through all the stages of reforms in short terms. European countries have already passed all these stages. This process has lasted for decades. Investigation of changes in economic thought on the concept of "reform" all over the world in the context of pension insurance and mechanisms of its implementation in Western Europe in the second half of the twentieth century is a prerequisite for effective reform. Purpose. The research aims to investigate the experience of countries of Western Europe as for the structural reform of pension insurance system and its implementation in Ukraine. Results. This article explores the factors that cause structural pension reform in Europe and the possibility of its implementation in Ukraine. The historical stages of emergence and development of retirement insurance in the world have been determined. Two basic models of pension systems have been singled out. Economic thought of leading European scientists as for the pension insurance changes under the influence of time and transformations in the economy have been considered. The reasons of the pension insurance reform in Europe in postwar period have been investigated. The history of the first cumulative programs and the creation of private pension insurance that leaded to a structural reform in the countries of Western Europe have been studied. Different factors that affect the likelihood of structural pension reform in any country and the possibility of such a reform in Ukraine have been investigated.

These proposals are situated in a proper historical context. It is also stressed that reform is a process and not an event, and that the United Nations adapts to changing circumstances faster than it adopts structural reform.

Pragmatist Philosophy

AbstractA pragmatist philosophy of psychological science offers to the direct replication debate concrete recommendations and novel benefits that are not discussed in Zwaan et al. This philosophy guides our work as field experimentalists interested in behavioral measurement. Furthermore, all psychologists can relate to its ultimate aim set out by William James: to study mental processes that provide explanations for why people behave as they do in the world.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.
