State Protection

The state protection of children in the last 30 years has a critical reflection of the ratification of the first human rights treaty for children and adolescents. Multiple glances focused on the bureaucratic normative apparatuses that operated/operate on children's bodies, to glimpse the configuration of institutional practices. This article attempts to reconstruct the circuits generated through the articulation and power networks related to the state protection of institutionalized childhood (1995 - 1999), through the study of the actors involved in the institutionalization in the province of Mendoza. The methodology used is hermeneutical, heuristic and will be carried out from the analysis of the case of the “witnesses”. For this, three cases of institutionalized boys, girls, and adolescents have been chosen, reflected in institutional files. The results raise the relevance of four institutional actors that are key in institutional actions, whose profiles could be translated into the decision-maker, the communicational control, the sentinel, and the public force. On the other hand, in the minimal networks of the cases presented, the subordination of one (executive) power over another state (judicial) power is proposed. Finally, differentiated power dynamics are indicated between the center and the peripheries of the province of Mendoza, Argentina.

State Administration

The concept and legal nature of public administration have been analyzed. The analysis of research works has allowed to state that the term "public administration" is considered in two aspects - structural and procedural (or functional) where public administration should be understood as executive bodies, local self-government bodies, as well as entities endowed by the state with public administration functions that perform public administration functions and whose purpose is to ensure the interests of the state and society as a whole, and their activities carried out within the law. The principles of administrative and legal regulation of public administration in Ukraine and the concepts, principles of administrative and legal regulation of public administration have been studied. The author has found out that the essential features of public administration are: public administration is subordinated to political power (i.e., parliament, head of state); public administration ensures the implementation and application of laws (i.e., implements the political decisions of parliament); public administration acts (should act) in the public interest; public administration is endowed with the prerogatives of public authority (that is, powers that allow mandatory instructions to be given to individuals). While the system of central executive bodies consists of the ministries of Ukraine and other central executive bodies the system of central executive bodies is a component of the system of executive bodies, the highest body of which is the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. The local state administration is a local executive body and is part of the system of executive bodies. The local state administration, within the limits of its powers, exercises executive power on the territory of the respective administrative-territorial unit, as well as exercises the powers delegated to it by the relevant council.

State Protection

Abstract This special issue of The Public Historian will examine what is a pressing, pervasive, traumatic, and very public contemporary issue in which history and historians are heavily involved in many countries around the globe. Authors will investigate a range of issues around the state involvement in death, including the role of the state as perpetrator and its responsibilities to the victims and their families; the process and significance of exhumation, of identification, and of repatriation; the status of refugees and displaced peoples who die when legally stateless and so without state protection; the differing transnational stances in tracing and punishing the perpetrators; the fraught issue of personal and official reparation; and the role and efficacy of international justice.

The hypothesis to be investigated in this study is if the premises that justified the adoption of such tax benefits still persist or if they should be revised in the current conjuncture, especially in light of the state of public finances. After a brief analysis of the financial data of the Union and the performance of the exports, the paper invites to a scrutiny on the generalized exoneration policies. At the end the compatibility of such policies with the fundamental goals of the Republic are discussed.<br /></span></p>

The report emphasizes that the language development of the state remains a priority for the legislative and executive power, academics and the public. In recent years, the volume and complexity of the study of the Ukrainian language has increased, including substantiation of ways and forms of nationalization of the Ukrainian language, achieving conflict-free linguistic existence of society, which requires further development and deepening of academic research, expansion of issues aimed at meeting the practical needs of state building, improving the structure and expanding staffing and logistics of the basic institution in linguo-ukrainistic studies: the Institute of the Ukrainian Language of the NAS of Ukraine.

Executive Authority

Major crises can threaten political regimes by empowering demagogues and promoting authoritarian rule. While existing research argues that national emergencies weaken formal checks on executive authority and increase public appetites for strong leadership, no research evaluates whether crises increase mass support for the president’s institutional authority. We study this question in the context of the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic with an experiment embedded in a national survey of more than 8,000 U.S. adults. We find no evidence that the public evaluated policies differently if they were implemented via unilateral power rather than through the legislative process, nor did the severity of the pandemic at either the state, local, or individual levels moderate evaluations of executive power. Instead, individuals’ partisan and ideological views were consistently strong predictors of policy attitudes. Perhaps paradoxically, our results suggest that elite and mass polarization limit the opportunity for crises to promote public acceptance of strengthened executive authority.

Capitalist State

This article explores the capitalist state notion from the perspective developed by Nicos Poulantzas in his latest book (The State, the power, the socialism - 1978), as well as it evaluates how his analysis enable the public policies understanding today . The concept of State is presented as the material condensation of a force relation, progressing to an authoritarian statism, a concept developed by Poulantzas to explain the Executive power strengthening and the political democracy institutions decline. Concluding that the Poulantzian thought, despite of being based on his analysis in the 1970s, remains current and allows the public policies understanding in contemporary times.

A Current

Using published estimates of inequality for two countries (Russia and USA) the paper demonstrates that inequality measuring still remains in the state of “statistical cacophony”. Under this condition, it seems at least untimely to pass categorical normative judgments and offer radical political advice for governments. Moreover, the mere practice to draw normative conclusions from quantitative data is ethically invalid since ordinary people (non-intellectuals) tend to evaluate wealth and incomes as admissible or inadmissible not on the basis of their size but basing on whether they were obtained under observance or violations of the rules of “fair play”. The paper concludes that a current large-scale ideological campaign of “struggle against inequality” has been unleashed by left-wing intellectuals in order to strengthen even more their discursive power over the public.

Executive privilege (EP) as a political tool has created a grey area of constitutional power between the legislative and executive branches. By focusing on the post-WWII political usage of executive privilege, this research utilizes a social learning perspective to examine the power dynamics between Congress and the president when it comes to government secrecy and public information. Social learning provides the framework to understand how the Cold War's creation of the modern American security state led to a paradigm shift in the executive branch. This shift altered the politics of the presidency and impacted relations with Congress through extensive use of EP and denial of congressional requests for information. When viewed through a social learning lens, the institutional politics surrounding the development of the Freedom of Information Act is intricately entwined with EP as a political power struggle of action-reaction between the executive and legislative branches. Using extensive archival research, this historical analysis examines the politics surrounding the modern use of executive privilege from Truman through Nixon as an action-reaction of checks on power from the president and Congress, where each learns and responds based on the others previous actions. The use of executive privilege led to the Freedom of Information Act showing how policy can serve as a congressional check on executive power, and how the politics surrounding this issue influence contemporary politics.
