Titova E.S.

Abstract

This study presents the results of the «green» economy public administration general trends study. Besides, «green» economy is characterized as a special type of economic activity based on various biotechnologies and aimed at solving urgent environmental problems. It is emphasized that according to a number of foreign publications and domestic regulatory documents, the biotechnological tools used in the «green» economy framework are largely focused on the processing of agroindustrial and household waste in combination with the biofuels production. According to the lexicometric analysis results, it is shown that the «green» economy problems are already in the field of view in almost half of the Russian Federation subjects. At the same time, special attention is drawn to four regions (two regions - Kemerovo and Kursk, as well as two republics - Buryatia and North Ossetia-Alania), where long-term state regulation of the «green» economy development is carried out within the special laws on socio-economic development strategies framework. As a result, it is noted that the «green» economy has broad application prospects in various regions of the Russian Federation, in particular, in order to reduce anthropogenic pressures on the environment and ensure sustainable development.

Crimes of Medical Workers as a Socio-legal Problem of Russian Society

Kesian G.N.

Abstract

The main legal act regulating the rights of citizens to health protection is Article 20 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which states that every citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to free medical care for various health disorders and disability. At the same time, free medical care aimed at preserving the life and health of citizens is provided by medical workers working in municipal, private and other medical institutions. Medical workers have the status of civil servants in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on state civil service. A civil servant is liable under federal law for actions or omissions leading to violation of the rights and legitimate interests of citizens. In this study we consider cases when medical workers who are civil servants commit crimes against the life and health of a citizen in the performance of their duties. We note that despite the large number of offenses committed by medical personnel, there are still no official statistics on these offenses, and therefore it is very difficult to determine the total number of offenses committed by medical personnel. In this study, we conclude that the offenses committed by medical staff are crimes of public danger and medical workers violate their professional obligations in the performance of their professional duties.

INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

The Religious Factor in the Clash of Civilizations from the Point of View of the State-Administrative Aspect

Khanaliev N.U.

Abstract

In the period of the formation of a new world order, it is extremely important to understand how the societies of certain states are separated from their governments. The concept of civilization expands its meaning and allows the unification of the societies of various states into a single civilizational form of self-determination. At the same time, social crisis factors that manifest themselves in one society are united within the framework of civilization, which forms mechanisms for their collective manipulation. Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine made it possible to understand the alignment of societies in world civilizations and to understand their internal “rules of the game”.

Human Security as a Basic Ingredient for the Smooth Running of Society: The Nigerian Experience

Nasirudeen L.O., Kadir N.A.

Abstract

Security is an essential component of any establishment’s growth, and without it, there is little progress. This explains why successive Nigerian governments have tried various approaches to restoring the country’s security. The threat to national security is multifaceted, ranging from the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram to Niger Delta extremist activities, rampant kidnappings in the Southeast, robberies, ritual killings and Herders/ farmers clashes across the country. However, the government’s efforts to restore peace in the country have not yielded significant results at various times. This study investigates the effectiveness of human security options in Nigeria as a means of achieving peace. The theoretical framework used in this study is the theory of frustration and aggression and the Marxist theory of structural conflict. And the methodology for the study is qualitative and used secondary sources. However, unemployment, corruption, injustice, poverty, and leadership failure are the major causes of insecurity in Nigeria. However, the burden of the aforementioned challenges necessitates solutions.

Administrative Traditions of China and Indonesia

Anwar A., Rosidah R., Pramazuly A.N., Setiawan R., Mladenov S.V.

Abstract

Each country has a different administrative tradition, such as those found in China and Indonesia. The two countries are close to each other and have good relations to date. Chinese Confucian teachings that are still preserved today have brought this country to change. The method used in this study is a qualitative research method using a document or literature analysis approach. The use of this method aims to obtain material and empirical data obtained through journals and scientific papers, reports, books, and other documents related to the research being conducted. The results of the study explain that the evolution of administration in China occurred from generation to generation, giving the characteristics of each dynasty. Similar to China, in Indonesia, the people also adhere to Pancasila values and include these values in the administration of government in Indonesia. The Indonesian nation upholds ethnic differences and tolerance of religious differences. However, national values still refer to Pancasila ideology and do not use Confucian teachings in administering government in Indonesia.

Water Resources Management in Africa

Babintseva E.A.

Abstract

The author of this article touches upon the problem of the water scarcity on the African continent, which turns into a real environmental disaster. As the root causes of the current situation, not only the climatic and geographical features of the continent, but in particular the problems of managing the rationalization of water resources, lack of funding and the lack of a sanitary and epidemiological culture of the local population are noted. On the example of the urban environment and large energy infrastructure, the most striking catalysts for the current critical situation in Africa are demonstrated. Despite the identified significant lag behind the experience of advanced countries in the field of environmental protection, the author reveals the prospects for a long-term partnership with Russia, as the bearer of many years of experience in successfully ecologozation the consumption of water resources.

Public Service Performance: A Case Study in Public Relation Information and Communication South Sulawesi Province

Arifin Z.

Abstract

One of the tasks of the government is fulfilling community rights by providing services. Services provided should follow existing laws and regulations; fast, reliable, and appropriate services are the main foundation for fulfilling community rights. Service performance can be measured using a theory proposed by Dwiyanto; the theory presents five indicators: productivity, service quality, responsiveness, responsibility, and accountability. Our study employed a qualitative descriptive method and would provide a systematic, factual, and accurate description of the object under study. We described public services from the point of view of service performance and factors supporting and inhibiting the performance of bureaucratic services. Our finding showed that public service performance had no standard operating procedure, resulting in time uncertainty for the services provided. There was also a problem related to the low ability of human resources, resulting in constraints on responsiveness. However, public employees showed good accountability and responsibility in providing services. Thus, it is necessary to have standard operating procedures and include education and training staff.

Godfatherism and Its Effects on Nigeria’s Democracy

Oghuvbu E.A.

Abstract

Godfatherism has been the focal point of political gangalism in Africa and other developing countries around the globe. Godfatherism has been a hallmark of Nigeria’s democracy today. With the restoration of democratic rule in 1999, the nation has seen an increase in the politics of godfatherism, which has slowed the consolidation of democracy while also undermining efficient state governance and restricting rather than broadening democratic representation. Godfatherism has taken its toll in the country’s politics, causing disharmony, disunity, conflict, and disaffection among various political and interest groups in the country. Its lethargy has exacerbated electoral passivism and aparthism, slowing Nigeria’s democratic transition. This study therefore, investigates the causes, nature and effects of godfatherism on Nigeria’s nascent democracy. The paper based its investigation on the elite theory and the study reveals that political godfatherism is responsible for weak institutions in the country. The study therefore, concludes that political godfathers and godsons have denied the people the rights to vote for their preferred candidate as their leaders. The study however, recommends that voting should be reformed to make it more difficult for individuals and institutions to finance political parties and politicians, this will go a long way towards eradicating godfatherism in Nigeria, and give room for democracy to flourish.
