The Bosnian War
between 1992 and 1995 prepared proper conditions for political and economic
reconstruction of Bosnia-Herzegovina in the disintegration process of
Yugoslavia. After the war and great destruction, Bosnia-Herzegovina was
reconstructed with the intervention of the USA and the Western European states
(especially Germany, the UK, France), and the Dayton Agreement as a very
complex and fragmented federation in the political sphere and a periphery
capitalist country in the economic sphere. More importantly, the Western
states' intervention and the Dayton arrangements created an "international
protectoral rule" in Bosnia-Herzegovina under the control and command of the
USA, the Western European states and international organizations. This painful
destruction and political-economic reconstruction process in Bosnia-Herzegovina
is discussed and explained in the article.

Despite widespread public opinion against many of his policies, Abe Shinzo's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is not only maintaining its electoral success but expanding on it. Furthermore the LDP has been in almost continual power since 1955, making Japan in the eyes of some a de facto one-party state. This paper will explore the question of legitimacy in Japan's political system, especially the ones raised by Karel van Wolferen the 1980s, and whether the current power structure can be considered to hold it. Through using Niklas Luhmann's social systems theory, in particular his concept of political legitimacy, it will be shown that while electoral reforms in 1994 addressed most of the systemic legitimacy issues in Japan's political system, a potential deficit in the government/opposition coding remains.

AbstractThe purpose of the article is to study the foreign science of administrative law and to determine certain areas of its adaptation in Ukraine. To achieve this purpose, we have used such methods of scientific cognition as dialectical, historical, formal and logical, system, and structural. The authors of the article have studied the content and specific features of foreign administrative and legal science, as well as have suggested possible ways to implement it into the scientific and legal system of Ukraine. It has been stated that the effective development of the national system of public administration is impossible without the quality functioning of science, which deals with studying forms and methods of administration, and an effective management system is essential for the success of any country. It has been noted that to achieve high results in the work of state agencies, their staff must be well educated on the use of optimal forms and methods of administration activity. Professionals who represent the state or local self-governments while performing their professional duties must have all the necessary skills (means) to achieve the tactical and strategic objectives set before them. The leadership of such agencies must be able to think globally and be able to set specific and objective tasks, as well as to provide the most effective means for their implementation. The historical aspects of the formation and development of administrative and legal science as a key element of the administrative system in different countries have been studied.Keywords: Administrative Law, Legal Regulation, Administrative, and Legal Science, Administrative Activity, Legislative Provision.

Отмечается, что для достижения высоких результатов в работе государственных органов их кадровый состав должен быть хорошо образованным по вопросам использования оптимальных форм и методов управленческой деятельности. Специалисты, которые во время выполнения своих профессиональных обязанностей представляют государство или органы местного самоуправления, должны обладать всеми необходимыми навыками (средствами) для достижения поставленных перед ними тактических и стратегических задач. Руководство таких органов должно быть способным к глобальному мышления и уметь ставить конкретные и объективные задачи, а также предоставлять для их выполнения наиболее эффективные средства.Ключевые слова: Административное право, Правовое регулирование, Наука административного права, Управленческая деятельность, Законодательное обеспечение.

Over the past seventy‐five years, separate disciplinary associations have been created for each of the social sciences in the United States. As a consequence, cooperation among the associations has only been periodic and delimited. These associations have been primarily focused on member services and have been less concerned than the biological and physical science associations with issues of governmental science policy.The first Reagan budget was constructed to reduce the already sparse research support by the federal government for the social sciences. That intent mobilized the national social science community to develop collective and coordinated action. Building on a latent structure that had emerged from the common Washington location of the disciplinary associations, the Consortium of Social Science Associations was institutionalized to make a response. COSSA's initial success minimized some of the potential negative consequences. That success suggested the value of such cooperative efforts and also confirmed the necessity of the continuation of COSSA in the future.

Background Approximately one quarter of all pregnancies globally end in abortion, making it one of the most common gynecological practices worldwide. Despite the high incidence of abortion around the globe, the synthesis of known economic outcomes of abortion care and policies is lacking. Using data from a systematic scoping review, we synthesized the literature on the economics of abortion at the microeconomic, mesoeconomic, and mesoeconomic levels and presented the results in a collection of studies. This article describes the history and scientific background for collection, presents the scoping review framework, and discusses the value of this knowledge base. Methods and findings We conducted a scoping review using the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews. Studies reporting on qualitative and/or quantitative data from any world region were considered. For inclusion, studies must have examined one of the following outcomes: costs, impacts, benefits, and/or value of abortion-related care or policies. Our searches yielded 19,653 unique items, of which 365 items were included in our final inventory. Studies most often reported costs (n = 262), followed by impacts (n = 140), benefits (n = 58), and values (n = 40). Approximately one quarter (89/365) of studies contained information on the secondary outcome on stigma. Economic factors can lead to a delay in abortion care-seeking and can restrict health systems from adequately meeting the demand for abortion services. Provision of post-abortion care (PAC) services requires more resources then safe abortion services. Lack of insurance or public funding for abortion services can increase the cost of services and the overall economic impact on individuals both seeking and providing care. Conclusions Consistent economic themes emerge from research on abortion, though evidence gaps remain that need to be addressed through more standardized methods and consideration to framing of abortion issues in economics terms. Given the highly charged political nature of abortion around the world, it is imperative that researchers continue to build the evidence base on economic outcomes of abortion services and regulations.

Once universal adult citizenship rights have been secured in a society, democratization is mostly a matter of the more authentic political inclusion of different groups and categories, for which formal political equality can hide continued exclusion or oppression. It is important, however, to distinguish between inclusion in the state and inclusion in the polity more generally. Democratic theorists who advocate a strategy of progressive inclusion of as many groups as possible in the state fail to recognize that the conditions for authentic as opposed to symbolic inclusion are quite demanding. History shows that benign inclusion in the state is possible only when (a) a group's defining concern can be assimilated to an established or emerging state imperative, and (b) civil society is not unduly depleted by the group's entry into the state. Absent such conditions, oppositional civil society may be a better focus for democratization than is the state. A flourishing oppositional sphere, and therefore the conditions for democratization itself, may actually be facilitated by a passively exclusive state, the main contemporary form of which is corporatism. Benign inclusion in the state can sometimes occur, but any such move should also produce exclusions that both facilitate future democratization and guard against any reversal of democratic commitment in state and society. These considerations have substantial implications for the strategic choices of social movements.

Research within Deaf communities needs to adhere to the ethical requests of the partner communities involved. These ethical requests can be met via open science practices that are implemented in the project strategies of the European Commission. Open science refers to transparent, collaborative, and accessible research including citizen science. However, researchers studying the acquisition of sign languages are challenged by the General Data Protection Regulation implemented by the European Parliament. Researchers who study sign languages frequently handle personal data, i.e. video data. Such data cannot be fully pseudonymised since facial expressions contain relevant linguistic inputs and cannot be blurred. Hence, strict data protection measures are necessary, but these measures are contradictory to open science practices. How can we meet the demands of the data protection regulations, as well as enable open science practices. This article identifies strategies used in a sign language acquisition study involving more than 100 sign language videos of children's narrations, which was conducted at the Department of Sign Language Pedagogy and Audio Pedagogy, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany.
