ON THE PROBLEMS OF POLITICAL RIGHT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KANT AND RAWLS IS APPARENTLY AN OBVIOUS ONE; RAWLS HIMSELF ACKNOWLEDGES THE KANTIAN FOUNDATIONS OF HIS APPROACH TO QUESTIONS OF JUSTICE AND POLITICAL RIGHT, AND IDENTIFIES THE PRECISE POINTS AT WHICH HIS THEORY DEPARTS FROM THAT OF KANT. THIS ESSAY ATTEMPTS TO SHOW THAT WHEN ONE EXAMINES THOSE POINTS OF DEPARTURE CAREFULLY, THEY TURN OUT TO POINT NOT MERELY AWAY FROM KANT, BUT DIRECTLY AND INEXORABLY TOWARD THE ACCOUNT OF POLITICAL RIGHT GIVEN BY ROUSSEAU IN THE SOCIAL CONTRACT. THE ESSAY ARGUES THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FULLY UNDERSTAND RAWLS' THEORETICAL PROJECT UNTIL ONE SEES THE (UNSTABLE) POSITION IT OCCUPIES BETWEEN THE KANTIAN AND ROUSSEAUIAN ACCOUNTS OF POLITICAL RIGHT. MOREOVER, IT ARGUES THAT THE THEORETICAL PROJECT UNDERTAKEN BY RAWLS, THAT OF REVISING THE KANTIAN CONCEPTION OF AUTONOMY IN AN ATTEMPT TO SHOW HOW IT COULD BE COHERENTLY "EXPRESSED" POLITICALLY, WAS ACTUALLY UNDERTAKEN AND "COMPLETED" BY ROUSSEAU-THOUGH WITH IRONIC, AND UNSETTLING, RESULTS.

This work attempts a comparative description and analysis, focusing on the US, the UK, and Australia on the topic of the Right, educational policy, and schooling. It adopts as its underlying theme the burning fuse in tracing the topic back to Joseph de Maistre a Rightist who fled revolutionary France to seek safety in the company of Tsar Alexander I's Russian Empire. Here, he had much to say about school education, not for all, but rather the "deserving" social elite.During the past three or four decades in the US, the UK, and Australia, the Right has been remarkably successful in amassing political power. And in doing so, the right of politics in these countries has reshaped school educational policy and practice, a necessary step in securing the future of the Right as a political force. Moreover, even during the years the Right has been on the opposition benches in these countries, such has been the strength of their political force that governments of the Left have acquiesced to much of their school educational policy.A pioneering effort, this book asserts that to understand school educational policy in the third decade of the 21st century, we need to comprehend the politics of the Right. This book will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students interested in Education Studies, Theory and Policy, and International and Comparative Education.

For democracies, the implementation of general elections (elections) is a necessity. Article 22E Paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution says "General elections shall be held directly, publicly, freely, confidentially, honestly and fairly once every five years". The meaning of honesty in this context is binding for 3 (three) parties, namely the election organizer who will oversee the election from the stages of preparation, implementation and settlement, election participants (political parties and prospective participants) and the public as holders of voting rights. Election integrity has become very problematic at least from the many corruption cases involving election administrators. This can be a real visualization of the election integrity crisis in Indonesia. The crisis of integrity is increasingly apparent when corrupt convicts are still given the opportunity to run in the election. The problem in this research is First, what is the urgency of revoking political rights for prisoners of corruption. Second, how the ideas offered to regulate the revocation of political rights for prisoners of corruption. This research is a doctrinal research that uses primary and secondary legal materials. The method used is the normative approach. The results of the study concluded that first public office must be filled by people who are clean of corruption. Second, the application of revocation of political rights as a deterrent effect. Third, the need for a revision of the Anti-Corruption Law and the Election Law. Fifth, the granting of qualifications against convicted of criminal acts of corruption whose political rights will be revoked.
