The paper is focused on the efficiency of government activities and possibilities of evaluating it. Nowadays an appropriate use of public finances is an urgent problem of financial management of the state. Therefore, a special emphasis is put on the necessity to evaluate the results of activities of the public sector. These results have become an important element of the public financial system oriented towards results, as they form a stable base for planning and evaluating government budget resources. Being unaware of results, it is impossible to estimate if the aims and tasks set by the government financial policy are real and appropriate to the current situation and financial resources. Therefore a systematic approach to the evaluation of activities of the state administration is necessary. It can be done with the help of the system of efficiency indicators.Existing views on efficiency evaluation options for the public sector in economic literature are summarized, related issues are highlighted and trends in the improvement of the performance indicators system are identified in the research.

Conventional wisdom holds that the rising middle-classes are a force for democracy. Yet in post-Soviet countries like Russia, where the middle-class has grown rapidly, authoritarianism is deepening. Challenging a basic tenet of democratization theory, this book shows how the middle-classes can actually be a source of support for autocracy and authoritarian resilience, and reveals why development and economic growth do not necessarily lead to greater democracy. In pursuit of development, authoritarian states often employ large swaths of the middle-class in state administration, the government budget sector, and state enterprises. Drawing on attitudinal surveys, unique data on protest behavior, and extensive fieldwork in the post-Soviet region, the book documents how the failure of the middle-class to gain economic autonomy from the state stymies support for political change, and how state economic engagement reduces middle-class demands for democracy and weakens prodemocratic coalitions. This book makes a vital contribution to the study of democratization, showing how dependence on the state weakens the incentives of key societal actors to prefer and pursue democracy.

The article systematizes the organizational and legal forms of legal entities of financial and non-financial corporations under the control of the state in the Russian Federation, which made it possible to outline the boundaries of the corporate component of the public sector of the economy. A system of indicators for quantitative measurement of this segment of the national economy is proposed. The most important indicators of the financial and economic activities of federal joint-stock companies (JSC) and federal state unitary enterprises (FSUE) are highlighted, data on which are presented on the website of the Federal State Statistics Service. The analysis of the dynamics of the number of federal JSCs and FSUEs in 2016-2020 was carried out, as a result of which a tendency towards a decrease in their number in Russia was revealed. An assessment of the share of profitable federal joint-stock companies and federal state unitary enterprises for each type of activity is given in comparison with this indicator on average in Russia. The dynamics of the profit received by federal JSCs and FSUEs and the share in the total volume of profits in the Russian Federation in 2018-2019 were also investigated. It was revealed that in Russia the municipal level in most information sources on the functioning of the state sector of the economy is not covered by statistical observation. It is noted that the work of the Analytical Center under the Government of the Russian Federation helps to compose the idea of ​​the activities of unitary enterprises at all three levels of government. At the same time, the available information base makes it possible to characterize the activities of only joint-stock companies of the federal level. In this regard, for a more complete characterization of the scale of the corporate component of the public sector of the economy, it is proposed to analyze the share of the largest companies with state participation (KSU) in the country’s aggregate economic indicators, information about which is provided by various rating agencies. It has been proved that in terms of capitalization of KSUs and the number of employed in them, Russia is ahead of many developed countries. This allows us to conclude that the Russian public sector is being built on the basis of a “corporate model”.

Executive Body

Government in carrying out its duties is equipped with the authority of both the attributive and the delegative. With the development of society, there are often certain urgent circumstances, in which Government Officials/Administration Bodies can not use their authority which is bound to take legal action. In realizing the goal as a state with the concept of welfare general (welfare state) then the government must play an active role in interfacing the field of social economic life of the community. The government delegated responsibility bestuurszorg or public service. With this discretionary authority it means that some of the powers held by the legislature are transferred into the administration of the state as the executive body. Because the state administration has solved the problem by not waiting for the amendment of the Law from the legislative field, so the government should not refuse to provide services to the public on the grounds that there is no or no clear rule of law as long as it is still the authority of the government. But the power of government as a discretionary policy maker is always faced with a problem connected with corruption. Pemerintah dalam menjalankan tugasnya dilengkapi dengan kewenangan-kewenangan baik yang bersifat atributif maupun yang bersifat delegatif. Dengan adanya perkembangan masyarakat maka seringkali terdapat keadaan-keadaan tertentu yang sifatnya mendesak, dimana Pejabat/Badan Administrasi pemerintahan tidak dapat menggunakan kewenangannya yang bersifat terikat dalam melakukan tindakan hukum. Dalam mewujudkan tujuan sebagai negara dengan konsep kesejahteraan umum maka pemerintah harus berperan aktif mencampuri bidang kehidupan sosial ekonomi masyarakat. Maka pemerintah dilimpahkan tanggung jawab sebagai pelayan publik atau public service. Dengan adanya kewenangan diskresi ini berarti bahwa sebagian kekuasaan yang dipegang oleh badan pembentuk Undang-Undang dipindahkan ke dalam administrasi negara sebagai badan eksekutif. Karena administrasi negara melakukan penyelesaian masalah dengan tidak menunggu perubahan Undang-Undang dari bidang legislatif, sehingga pemerintah tidak boleh menolak memberikan pelayanan kepada masyarakat dengan alasan tidak ada atau tidak jelasnya aturan hukum sepanjang masih menjadi kewenangan dari pemerintah. Namun kekuasaan pemerintah sebagai pembuat kebijakan diskresi selalu berhadapan dengan adanya suatu permasalahan yang dihubungkan dengan tindak pidana korupsi.

The issue of trust in government and its efficiency has been a controversial and much-disputed subject within economics, sociology, and public sector management. This study presents a systematic literature review of trust research undertaken with regard to government, its performance (efficiency), and the quality of public services. Theoretical and methodological principles of the interrelations between trust and efficiency of the public sector of the economy are analyzed and deepened, based on the fundamental provisions of the theories of micro- and macro-efficiency. The article considers the concept of trust in the public sector of the economy as one of the main intangible resources that can be used by the state in order to achieve socially and economically beneficial as well as public valuable outcomes. The duplex relationship between trust and efficiency of the public sector is proved, according to which trust is both a condition and a result of the government institutions functioning and services providing. Generalization of key characteristics of the main indicators of state efficiency within the concepts of micro- and macro-efficiency allowed identifying several groups of indicators based on subjective and objective assessment of economic efficiency of the state. Objective indicators that determine the economic development of the country, which is the basis of the quality of citizens’ life, and forms the level of their satisfaction and trust in the state and its institutions, include monetary indicators of macroeconomic efficiency of the state and indicators that characterize public finance and income inequality in the country. Subjective assessment of the economic efficiency of the state, the work of its institutions and the quality of public services includes sociological surveys and quantitative indicators based on self-assessment by economic agents based on their own beliefs, knowledge, life values and worldview, cultural, ethnic, religious, ideological norms, as well as previously accumulated personal life experience of intercommunion with state institutions.

AbstractThis article examines how and why non-Muslimdhimmīswere employed in a variety of important posts during the ʿAbbāsid period, notably as viziers (wuzarā') and secretaries (kuttāb). One of the aims is to show that Jews and Christians were employed in the state administration to the extent that some of them were able to achieve the second highest office after the caliph: the vizier. It is argued that, despite certain legal restrictions outlined by Muslim jurists,dhimmīemployment in the government had long been an established policy. The first section discusses the juristic debate on whether non-Muslims could be appointed to public office. The second examines examples of non-Muslim viziers and the nature of their political power. The final section offers possible explanations as to why non-Muslims were needed to help the caliphs administer this governmental office. The article concludes with a brief reflection on the significance of this study for the discussion of the nature of state–religion relations in early Islam.
