Through modeling the Kondratieff waves (cycles) the authors show, that the upward half-wave of the third Kondratieff wave in the economic dynamics of the UK emerged in 1887. Further, in 1926 emerged the upward half-wave of the fourth Kondratieff wave in the economic dynamics of the UK. The upward halfwave of the fifth Kondratieff wave in Britain’s economy emerged in 1985. The fifth wave is in place till nowadays. Modeling of technological modes has allowed to assess their efficiency as concerning the economy of the UK. The efficiency of relic modes, measured in terms of per capita GDP equals to £2805 measured in 2005 pounds sterling. The maximum efficiency of the fourth technological mode equals to £1328, measured in 2005 pounds sterling. The maximum efficiency of the fifth technological mode reaches £8739 measured in 2005 pounds sterling. The maximum efficiency of the sixth technological mode for the economy of the UK reaches £19 811 measured in 2005 pounds sterling.

This chapter discusses the contemporary position of social work in the United Kingdom, and in particular the challenges to what is seen as a managerial-technicist version of social work. The chapter begins with focus on the situation from the 1990s to the present day in which this version of social work takes root and flourishes. The discussion then concentrates on three different routes away from a managerial-technicist social work: the first, reconfiguring professional practice in the direction of evaluation in practice, the second ‘reclaiming social work’ on the Hackney relationship-based model and the third ‘reclaiming social work’ in a more radical, highly politicised way. Special attention is devoted to a discussion about how much autonomy the social workers have in different models, but also what kind of autonomy and for what purpose.

Current arguments in Australia concerning horizontal fiscal equalisation may help inform the debate in the United Kingdom concerning possible changes to the Barnett formula and the establishment of financial relations with any regional governments in England. Although Australia is a long-established federation, with mature institutions for managing the financial aspects of intergovernmental relations, the most populous states are now pushing for a per-capita-based system to replace the existing formula—based on needs and costs—overseen by the independent Commonwealth Grants Commission. This has important implications for the United Kingdom, where the Barnett formula—a per capita system for deciding annual changes in the funding for the devolved administrations—has been increasingly challenged. In particular, the Barnett system has been vulnerable to nontransparent ‘formula-bypass’ agreements. We argue that the status quo in the United Kingdom appears secure as long as England remains a single entity and the UK Treasury sees the financial implications of larger per capita expenditure in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland as relatively small. However, we speculate that regionalisation of government in England would be likely to increase the pressure: to abandon the Barnett system; to look more systematically at need and cost, rather than population, as criteria for allocating funds between governments; and to move towards an Australian-type system. However, the recent experience of Australia also shows that larger states prefer a per-capita-based system allied to more political, less transparent, arrangements to deal with ‘special circumstances’. It may be that a Barnett-type formula would suit the new ‘dominant states’ in a fully federalised United Kingdom which would, ironically, create an alliance of interests between Scotland and London.

AbstractThis Special Issue considers the situated and contextualized development of socio-legal, or law and society, scholarship within two materially different legal and academic cultures, namely Germany and the United Kingdom, with a view to achieving a better understanding of why and how such differences in understanding and practice have arisen. The contributions are grouped into three themes. The first reflects upon the influence of institutional contexts and scholarly traditions in terms of the development of those approaches that come under the banner of socio-legal studies. The second features contributions that adopt a comparative perspective in terms of selected areas of law, pointing to notably different approaches taken in Germany and the UK, and considering the development of these respective situations. The third looks at the key contemporary trends, theoretical applications, and methodological approaches taken within both countries’ socio-legal academic contexts.

 Hingga saat ini, belum ada basis indikator dan ukuran internasional yang diterapkan sebelum COVID-19—baik indikator kesehatan, ekonomi, maupun sosial-politik— yang dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi bagaimana performa tiap negara dalam merespon COVID-19. Negara dengan ekonomi yang besar belum tentu dapat merespon pandemi dengan mumpuni. Dinamika yang tidak jauh berbeda juga dialami oleh Inggris. Inggris masih menempati posisi ketiga tertinggi di wilayah Eropa dengan kasus kumulatif COVID-19 per Agustus 2020. Pun ini diperumit dengan tingkat kematian (case fatality rate/CFR) COVID-19 di Inggris sebagai persentase tertinggi di Eropa. Ini menjadikan proses implementasi kebijakan Inggris terkait COVID-19 menarik untuk dikaji. Analisis kebijakan ini didasari pada lensa syndemic yang menekankan pentingnya implikasi non-kesehatan untuk diinkorporasi dalam pembuatan kebijakan serta whole-of-society menggarisbawahi koordinasi aktor-aktor negara dan non-negara penting untuk proses implementasi. Temuan tulisan ini ialah kebijakan pemerintah Inggris berbentuk learn-to-reflect; mencoba inklusif dan holistik serta berhasil menekan pertumbuhan kasus baru, namun observasi mendatang antara koordinasi aktor dalam multisektor isu terhadap efektivitas kebijakan jangka panjang masih diperlukan. Kata-Kata Kunci: Inggris; COVID-19; Syndemic-Pandemic; Whole-Of-Society; Kolaborasi Pemerintahan; Ketimpangan  To date, no fixed international indicators set prior to the start of COVID-19—either health, economics, or socio-politics indicators—can be used to predict how states’ policies fared in responding to COVID-19. A state with an enormous economic power does not necessarily equip to respond the pandemic adequately. The United Kingdom (UK) has encountered similar dynamic. The UK remains as the third country with the most cumulative cases of COVID-19 in the Europe as per August 2020. This complicated by the UK’s COVID-19 CFR that remains as the highest in the Europe. This brought to light a puzzle in how the UK implement its COVID-19 policy. The analysis in this study utilized a syndemic lens in which emphasises the importance of non-health issues to be incorporated into the policy, as well as based the policy implementation process on the whole-of-society approach where state and non-state actors’ coordination remains significant. The findings on UK policy response mimicked a model of learn-to-reflect; attempted to be inclusive and holistic, as well as successfully reduced new daily COVID-19 cases, yet, the upcoming observation on the coordination between actors on multisectoral issues and how this affects the effectiveness of long-term policy remains as an utmost necessity. Keywords: United Kingdom; COVID-19; Syndemic-Pandemic; Whole-Of-Society; Governance Collaboration; Inequality

The paper presents the results of the analysis of Spain`s economic dynamics in order to identify periods of of Kondratieff waves and the dates of origin of new technological modes. Through the regression analysis of the time series of Spain’s real per capita GDP for the period from 1850 to 2008, the author determines the dates of origin of the third, the fourth and the fifth Kondratieff waves and also the dates of origin of the fourth, the fifth and the sixth technological modes in the Spanish economy. The results obtained shows, that the fourth technological mode in Spain`s economy occurred in the early 20th century, the fifth mode — in the 1950s, while the sixth mode began in the late 20th century. The results of the research can be helpful for constructing models of technological modes` productivity in Spain.

The article presents the results of the analysis of Australia`s economic dynamics in order to determine the time of beginning of Kondratieff waves and origin of new technological modes and their productivity. The regression analysis of the time series of Australia real per capita GDP for the period from 1820 to 2008 allowed to determine the date of beginning of the third, fourth and fifth half-waves of Kondratieff cycles and the date of origin of the fourth, fifth and sixth technological modes in Australia`s economy. The results of the analysis showed that the origin of the fourth technological mode in Australia`s economy occurred in the late XIX century, the fifth — in the 1950s, the sixth — in the late XX century. The modeling of technological modes` productivity allowed determining the productivity of relict and modern technological modes in the economy of Australia. The results showed that the productivity of relict modes in Australia`s economy is 3465 Gehry-Hemis dollars 1990. The maximum productivity of the fourth mode is 4437 Gehry-Hemis dollars 1990, the fifth — 8874 Gehry-Hemis dollars 1990. The maximum productivity of the sixth mode in the economy of Australia is 26 888 Gehry-Hemis dollars 1990. The results of the research may be used in order to evaluate the productivity of modern technological modes in Russian economy.

Law Making

In Northern Ireland there has been a lot of interesting experience of devolution (although rather less of lawmaking, especially recently). Indeed, the experience of devolution in Northern Ireland is greater than elsewhere in the United Kingdom as this present (interrupted) phase is the third version that has taken place. Such a history, involving as it does not just various failures but also a fifty year record of relative stability might suggest that Northern Ireland has particular lessons to offer to the devolution process that the UK has experienced since 1998.

Until 2019, TBE was considered only to be an imported disease to the United Kingdom. In that year, evidence became available that the TBEV is likely circulating in the country1,2 and a first “probable case” of TBE originating in the UK was reported.3 In addition to TBEV, louping ill virus (LIV), a member of the TBEV-serocomplex, is also endemic in parts of the UK. Reports of clinical disease caused by LIV in livestock are mainly from Scotland, parts of North and South West England and Wales.4

The aim of this paper is to analyse the risk transfer issue in Public Private Partnership/Private Finance Initiative (PPP/PFI) procurement documents in the United Kingdom (UK) and Malaysia. It utilises qualitative research methods using documentation and interviews for data collection. The UK documents (guidelines and contracts) identify the risks related to this form of public procurement of services and makeexplicittheappropriateallocation of those risks between the public and the private sector PPP/PFI partners and so the types of risks each party should bear. However, in Malaysia, such allocation of risks was not mentioned in PPP/PFI guidelines. Hence, a question arises regarding whether risk transfer exists in Malaysian PPP/PFI projects, whether in contracts or by other means. This research question is the rationale for the comparative analysis ofdocumentsand practicesrelatingtorisk transfer in the PPP/PFI procurements in both countries. The results clarify risk-related issues that arise in implementing PPP/PFI procurement in Malaysia, in particular how risk is conceptualised, recognised and allocated (whether explicitly or implicitly), whether or not that allocation is intended to achieve optimum risk transfer, and so the implications forachievement ofvalue for moneyor other such objectivesinPPP/PFI.
