A qualitatively new stage in the development of the scientific-educational complex in Tomsk, as well as in the whole country, came with the speech of the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee M.S. Gorbachev at the April plenum of the party, which marked the beginning of the period of "perestroika" in 1985. The era of perestroika was marked by a number of contradictory tendencies in the science and educational institutions of the country in general and SPhTI in particular. "Perestroika" went under the slogans of "glasnost", "new political thinking". On the one hand, the processes of democratization that began in the country served as a powerful impetus for the academic community to find new ways to solve the urgent economic, environmental and social problems. On the other hand, at that time the alarming tendencies of the obsolescence of the material and technical base for research and academic institutions, ineffectiveness or the lack of active implementation of applied developments began to make themselves felt. Particular attention is paid to identify and analyze the dynamics of the transformation of organizational forms of research development in the Tomsk scientific-educational complex; analyze the specifics of state budget financing and contractual activity as reasons for the reduction of the staff of physicists and analyze the specifics of the material and living conditions of the academic community of Tomsk in the period of Perestroika. For all who are interested in the history of science, the history of Siberia and Russia.

This paper analyses how fiscal adjustment comes about when both central and sub-national governments are involved in consolidation. We test sustainability of public debt with a fiscal rule for both the federal and regional government. Results for the German Länder show that lower tier governments bear a relatively smaller part of the burden of adjustment, if they consolidate at all. Most of the fiscal adjustment occurs via central government debt. In contrast, both the US federal and state levels contribute to consolidation of public finances.

AUTHOR CONTENDS THAT HUMAN RIGHTS WILL EMERGE AS A CENTRAL ELEMENT IN WEST-EAST CONFRONTATION AT THE UPCOMING REVIEW CONFERENCE ON THE HELSINKI DOCTRINE. HE ARGUES THAT US FAILURE TO APPROVE THE GENOCIDE CONVENTION TREATY, DEVELOPED IN THE UN IN 1948, AS WELL AS US FAILURE TO PARTICIPATE IN OTHER MAJOR WORLD AGREEMENTS HAVING TO DO WITH HUMAN RIGHTS, WILL HAMPER HER ABILITY TO CONFRONT THE SOVIET BLOC.

Der Aufsatz befasst sich mit der Frage, ob sich eine wachsende Politisierung der Ministerialbürokratie und eine zunehmende Bürokratisierung der Politik in einer Hybridisierung der Karriereverläufe von Spitzenbeamten und Exekutivpolitikern auf Bundes- und Landesebene in Deutschland nachweisen lässt. ; Switches between political and administrative positions seem to be quite common in today's politics, or at least not so unusual any longer. Nevertheless, up-to-date empirical studies on this issue are lacking. This paper investigates the presumption, that in recent years top bureaucrats have become more politicised, while at the same time more politicians stem from a bureaucratic background, by looking at the career paths of both. For this purpose, we present new empirical evidence on career patterns of top bureaucrats and executive politicians both at Federal and at Länder level. The data was collected from authorized biographies published at the websites of the Federal and Länder ministries for all Ministers, Parliamentary State Secretaries and Administrative State Secretaries who held office in June 2009.

135 142 6 2 ; SWORD ; [EN] Using compactness properties of bounded subsets of spaces of vector measure integrable functions and a representation theorem for q-convex Banach lattices, we prove a domination theorem for operators between Banach lattices. We generalize in this way several classical factorization results for operators between these spaces, as psumming operators.

The 1990s have witnessed a wide range of initiatives at national and international levels to increase the parliamentary representation of women. It is argued here that the "underrepresentation of women" is an inherently ambiguous slogan that has wrapped up in it quite different families of arguments, including the right to represent, the need for representativeness, and the representation of interests. This ambiguity is politically powerful but may cause problems for the practice of representation. The article concludes that "making a difference" discourse may lead to an over-emphasis on embodiment and a neglect of issues of accountability.

The Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, has ushered in a new era of transparent governance. It makes citizens more resourceful and powerful to expose to the public the maladministration in public authorities. But this task is challenging due to prevailing culture of secrecy and lackadaisical attitude of Central Public Information Officers/State Public Information Officers (CPIOs/SPIOs), who act as hubs to implement information regime. To regulate their duties, arrangement has been made to constitute Central Information Commission (CIC) and State Information Commissions (SICs). Their vigilant observation and fair outlook play a vital role in establishing corruption-free governance. This article examines the adjudicatory role of Haryana State Information Commission by selecting the data from 2005 to 2018 with regard to disposal of enquiries, complaints and appeals. After presenting the powers and functions of the State Commission, year-wise data are presented in tabular form to have a look at the performance of the commission in dealing with the RTI applications. Besides, a brief summary is also given presenting the number of delinquent SPIOs, who have not deposited the penalties imposed by the commission. It is a serious challenge before the commission. On this critical aspect, facts and arguments are discussed to assess the role of the full commission and individual commissioners in disposal of RTI matters. Due to lacklustre performance of the commission to ensure voluntary disclosure compliance and speedy disposals, the author feels concerned and opines that if these disquieting trends are not nipped in bud, then the commission may come to be perceived as a mere scarecrow.
