The paper analyzes the negative impact of technogenic civilization on the development of a human as integrity. The conceptual position of the research is the transdisciplinary idea that a human as integrity is one with all his/her conditions, with the whole world. Giving preference only to the external conditions of a human associated with technical progress led to his/her decline andself-destruction as integrity.The purpose of an investigation consists in showing the reasons of the destruction of human integrity today. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the modern conditions of human existence associated with the processes of globalization and rapid, negative changes in all spheres of the life of a society in a state of total crisis. It is noted that such conditions chaotize the internal processes of a human, “split” him/her as integrity, destroy the harmonization with other people.Filled with doubts, lacking development prospects and goals, such a human, like the whole society, loses the future.It is concluded that today the human situation is critical. It is necessary to immediately reorient all spheres of life of the society towards human development, harmonization of all his/her essential aspects as integrity. Changes in the public policy, human rights legislation, education and science must be a priority. It is noted that the key role in overcoming the modern anthropological crisis belongs to scientists who, using the EU experience, are able to create a new scientific field for polylogy and the search for optimal ways out of the situation. The transdisciplinary approach, which is actively developed by European transdisciplinary schools and centers, is particularly productive. This approach overcomes the gap between the subject and the object of cognition, between man and the world, and forms a new worldview of man in a new society. Such possibilities of the transdisciplinary approach fully correspond to the tasks of modern universities.

This chapter briefly discusses the subject of merger control. Merger control is an important component of most, though not all, systems of competition law. Merger control has been under particular scrutiny in recent years, partly as a result of the rapid development of digital technologies and the emergence of powerful digital platforms. Separately there has been a certain backlash against the trend towards the globalisation of markets, and national governments, as well as the EU, have considered whether controls over the foreign acquisition of key industries are required, and whether the basic test of merger control – would a merger be harmful to competition? – should be supplemented by broader provisions enabling ‘the public interest’ to be taken into account. Against this background, the chapter begins by explaining what is meant by a ‘merger’ or ‘concentration’, the term used by the EU Merger Regulation (EUMR). It then proceeds to describe the different effects of mergers between independent firms from within and different production levels, the proliferation of systems of merger control, why firms merge, and the purpose of merger control. The final section of the chapter deals with how to design a system of merger control when a country decides, as a matter of policy, to adopt one.

While the decision to organise a Brexit has been the subject of seemingly endless debate, the legitimacy of this decision is generally accepted by those on both sides of the fence. The notion that a Brexit must happen, whatever the costs, as “the people have spoken”, has cemented itself in the public debate as some form of objective truth. However, in order to safeguard British democracy, it is in fact necessary to take a more critical approach to this perceived “legitimacy”. In order to provide such an approach, this paper challenges the Brexit’s democratic legitimacy on two levels. First, using Canovan’s “redemptive” and “pragmatic” faces of democracy, it argues that the “will of the people” has been unable to legitimise the decision to leave the EU. Second, focusing in on the conduct of the referendum, it argues that due to procedural errors, the referendum has additionally been unable to translate “the will of the people” in the first place. By taking this two-step approach to the Brexit’s legitimacy question, this paper exposes the general fragile nature of referenda and highlights how the Brexit referendum has failed to communicate the “will of the people” and subsequently strengthen the UK’s democratic process.

The article aims to study the activities of the police of the Irkutsk province during the Civil War. The object of the study in the article was the units of the people’s (civilian) police, created in early March 1917 and acting on the basis of the Regulation adopted on April 17, 1917 by the Provisional Government. On October 28 (November 10), 1917, the PKIB of the RSFSR issued a new decree «On the Workers’ Police», but after the overthrow of Soviet power in the summer of 1918 in the east of the country, the eastern regions returned to the Regulation of April 17. The functioning of the police in 1918–1919, based on the principles of the Provisional Government and became the object of analysis in this work. The subject of the study is the personnel work carried out during this period in the law enforcement agencies of the Baikal region. Along with general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction etc.), the work used problem-chronological and comparative methods that revealed the dynamics of historical events in Eastern Siberia, their impact on politics, on decision-making, and revealed similarities and differences in the forms, organization and manifestation of police actions operating in eastern Russia in the indicated historical period of time. It is concluded that the activities of the authorities of the Irkutsk province to recruit police units were unskilled. Of course, leaders at various levels, to the extent of their limited resources, tried to strengthen the public order authorities, but the lack of systemic organization of law enforcement work had a negative impact on the activities of the police. Neither the Omsk government, nor the civilian and military authorities of the Irkutsk province, could provide at the proper level not the material supply of the police, nor its personnel support. As a result, the police of the Irkutsk province not only did not defend the authorities against the Bolsheviks, but also could not cope with the functions of law enforcement. The increase in criminal criminality in 1918 and 1919 is recorded by all printed publications of the Irkutsk province of that time, as well as statistical reports of the provincial police.

From the theoretical reference of the sustainability, the article analyses the question of the incorporation of both social and environmental order considerations to the business and operations carried out by the companies, through the public dissemination of the performances in such areas. The research, focused on the quality, under a exploratory profile, and based in the bibliographic and documental review techniques, such as the data collection, is herein developed with the goal of identifying and analyzing, comparatively, the normative treatment applied to the scope of the public divulging of non-financial reports (the so called sustainability informs or reports), accordingly to both the Brazilian and European perspectives. As noted, in Brazil, there is no legal obligation to publish the sustainability reports, although the publishing is recommended to the companies by BM&FBOVESPA (administrative institution of the capital market), since December of 2011, through an instrument that characterizes a “soft” Law. On the other hand, in the European Union (EU) scope, there has been a recognition of the necessity to increase the transparency of social and environmental information by certain corporate societies and groups of companies, which is considered an imperative element for their social responsibility. Therefore, both the European Parliament and the European Union Counsel edited directives (2013/2014), regarding the subject of the publishing of non-financial information. The legislative acts in question are destined to all the members of the EU, compelling them to intervene in the national legal structures (“hard” Law) in order to transpose, to the respective structures, under mandatory character and established deadline, the general norms that consecrate certain common parameters regarding the subject.

The subject of the research is the scientific and technological cooperation of countries within the framework of an integration association based on the EU case study. The purpose of the research was to identify the main vectors of the coordinated scientific and technological policy of the EU with a focus on the feasibility of its application to the EAEU practices to enhance business activities of enterprises in solving their own tasks. The experience of the EU countries in the implementation of scientific, technological and innovation policies made it possible to formulate a number of principles, methods and tools that can be used in the EAEU practices. It is concluded that in terms of the achievements considered herein, the foreign practice can be useful taking into account challenges faced by countries and companies when solving common problems, and will help avoid errors in making decisions. Based on the European experience of shaping a general scientific, technological and innovation policy, it is proposed to apply the EU experience to the practical activities of the EAEU member states.

Todo sistema institucional legítimo requiere, hoy en día, desde una perspectiva democrática, como garantía de buen gobierno, en primer lugar, un compromiso de apertura y transparencia de sus órganos, que disponga a los mismos para hacer accesible al público el ejercicio de sus funciones; y, en segundo lugar, el reconocimiento de los medios necesarios que permitan el desarrollo de las iniciativas ciudadanas destinadas a la obtención de la información que estimen oportuno solicitar a aquéllos. Así, además de la creación de un espacio efectivo de libertad, que se expresa en la dimensión subjetiva del derecho, no es menos importante la vertiente objetiva que el mismo lleva aparejada, ya que, mediante su realización, se pretende alcanzar la efectiva limitación y control del ejercicio del poder público por parte de las instituciones. Por todo ello, el Art. 15.3 TFEU, de forma conjunta con el Art. 42 de la Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de las UE reconoce el derecho de los ciudadanos a acceder a los documentos en poder de las instituciones, órganos y organismos de la Unión. En este trabajo se analiza la restringida significación alcanzada por tan trascendental derecho, que pone a prueba la sinceridad de los objetivos apuntados.All legitimate institutional system requires, today, from a democratic perspective, as a guarantee of good governance, first, a commitment to openness and transparency of its organs, that allows for the exercise of its functions accessible to the public, and second, the recognition of the means necessary to enable the development of citizens’ initiatives aimed at obtaining the information they deem appropriate to request. So, in addition to creating an effective area of freedom, which is expressed in the subject dimension of the right, it is no less important the objective aspect that it entails, because, by its realization is to achieve an effective limitation and control the exercise of public power by the European institutions. Therefore, Article 15.3 TFEU, in conjunction with Article 42 EUCFR recognizes the citizens’ right of access to documents held by the EU institutions. In this paper the significance of the right is analyzed, in order to test the sincerity of the objectives stated in the Treaties.

The subject of this text is integration with the West in Ukrainian public debate in the period between the Orange Revolution and the Euromaidan (2004–2014). The author suggests that the gradual shift in public opinion after 2006, from an EU orientation toward Ukraine’s integration with the Eurasian Customs Union (since 2014 the Eurasian Union, the EAU), was connected with the passivity of pro-Western intellectuals. Having allowed themselves to be pushed out of the newspapers and national television channels, which belong to oligarchs, they found a communications niche in new media forums, where contact with the public is much more limited in terms of numbers. The author also points out the manipulation of public opinion by state services during Janukovych’s presidency for the purpose of marginalizing the national-democratic camp. The author analyzes the changes in opinions expressed by Jurii Andruchovych: from articulating openness to the European project and a civil concept of the Ukrainian nation, through doubting in the possibility of integration with the EU, to accenting the ethnic qualities of Ukrainianness and an elite exclusiveness. In the author’s opinion, another cause of the lack of stability in public opinion on EU integration was EU policy, which was devoid of a long-term strategy in regard to Ukraine.
