Pengelolaan keuangan publik merupakan amanah yang harus diemban dengan penuh tanggung jawab. Problematika menyangkut pengelolaan keuangan publik harus segera dituntaskan dengan menerapkan aneka alternatif solusi, baik didasarkan pada studi teoretis, empiris maupun normatif. Tulisan ini bermaksud menyingkap kandungan al-Qur’an terkait mekanisme pengelolaan keuangan publik melalui operasionalisasi metode tafsir tarbawi yang melibatkan tiga tahap teknik analisis, yaitu kebahasaan (lughawi), isi (tahlili) dan kependidikan (tarbawi). Signifikansi studi normatif ini adalah memberikan nuansa aksiologis, sehingga pengelolaan keuangan publik didasarkan pada pertimbangan halal-haram, adil-zhalim, baik-buruk, maslahat-mafsadat, dan sistem nilai Islami lainnya. Nuansa aksiologis inilah yang menjadi distinction antara pengelolaan keuangan publik yang Islami dengan yang non-Islami. Mekanisme Qur’ani pengelolaan keuangan publik yang ditawarkan dalam tulisan ini memuat tiga hal pokok. Pertama, pentingnya relasi korelatif yang harmonis antara pihak pengelola (imam) dengan publik (umat) dalam implementasi kebijakan yang baik, dengan didasarkan pada prinsip good governance, melalui program-program dinamis-kontekstual berbasis kerjasama Islami (ta’awun dan musyarakah) yang melibatkan pihak pengelola dengan publik. Kedua, implementasi sikap moderat melalui tiga model aktivitas ekonomi, yaitu pengelola menyeimbangkan aspek sosial-insaniyah dan spiritual-ilahiah dalam pengelolaan keuangan publik; pengelola terlibat aktif dalam realisasi fungsi sosial keuangan bagi publik; serta pengelola menjadi teladan (role model) bagi publik dalam hal gaya hidup hemat. Ketiga, pengelola meneladani empat kompetensi utama Nabi Yusuf AS yang terbukti berhasil menjalankan amanah sebagai pengelola keuangan publik, yaitu kompetensi Makin (berwenang), Amin (terpercaya), Hafizh (hemat) dan ‘Alim (cermat).

Abstract
Public finance management is a duty that must be carried on with full responsibility. Problematics concerning public finance management must be resolved by applying a variety of alternative solutions, based on theoretical, empirical and normative studies. This paper aims to examine the verses of the Holy Qur'an that related to public finance management. This paper based on Tafsir Tarbawi method that involves language analysis (lughawi), content analysis (tahlili) and Islam education analysis (tarbawi). The significance of this research is to provide an axiological shades, so that the public finance management always consider halal-haram, fair-unfair, good-bad, advantage-disadvantage, and other Islamic value system. This axiological shades is the distinction between Islamic and non-Islamic public finance management. This paper proposes three main points of Qur’anic mechanism of public finance management. First, the importance of harmonious relationship between government (imam) and public (ummah). Therefore, government have to manage public finance based on the principle of good governance, through implementation of Islamic cooperation programs (ta’awun and musyarakah) between government and public. Second, implementation of moderate life style on economic activities through three models: government have to balance social and spiritual aspects in public finance management; government actively attempt to realize social functions of public finance; and government become a role model for public in terms of frugal lifestyle. Third, goverment emulate the four core competencies of Prophet Joseph. He is a role model of successful figure in terms of public finance management, because of his competencies, those are Makin (competent authorities), Amin (trustworthy), Hafiz (protector) and ‘Alim (knowledgeable).

Full textAbstract:
The article considers the conceptual basis of redistribution as an economic phenomenon that occurs at different levels of the economic system (household, market, state). The types of redistributive effects are determined: market redistribution (provided by the price mechanism) and public redistribution (formed as a result of the functioning of the public sphere). Key attention is paid to social redistribution, which proposes to distinguish between fiscal (carried out through the system of public finance through taxation, transfers) and non-fiscal (arising from government actions that affect the functioning of the market). The links between public redistribution and views on justice have been explored. Philosophical and moral-ethical aspects of public redistribution are considered. Attention is paid to the criteria of redistributive justice. Some provisions of the theory of public finance on the interpretation of the phenomenon of social redistribution are revealed. It is noted that consideration of the conceptual foundations of public redistribution requires a philosophical vision of justice, consideration of the procedural aspects of finding a political compromise in a modern democratic society, as well as an assessment of the economic effects associated with redistribution. It is noted that for a clear understanding of the overall effect of redistribution processes it is necessary to simultaneously analyze the efficiency of market exchange, the perfection of mechanisms of primary distribution of income by the market and the direction of fiscal redistribution and transfer policy through the public finance system. The lack of unambiguous criteria for ensuring redistributive justice is emphasized. This necessitates the widespread application of the criterion of injustice. The need to realize the importance of recognizing inequality as a methodological principle of economic functioning is pointed out. It is noted that this will contribute to a more rational formulation of normative goals and priorities of the state redistributive policy in applied research of public finance.

The results of fisheries are effects of important economic and social importance. Therefore, the problems of the development of the fishing industry occupy a special place in economic policy at all levels of government. There is a fairly large set of measures for such a policy. Nevertheless, the scale and complexity of the problems in the fishing industry in our country necessitates a further search for optimal forms of interaction between the state and the organizations of the fishing business. The basis of interaction can be the PPP mechanism — one of the generally recognized ways to solve complex socio-economic problems. The purpose of this article is to develop an approach to the organization of financial management of PPP projects in the field of fisheries. The theoretical basis of the work is the provisions of the methodology of financial planning and project finance management. The article discusses the financial and economic aspects of PPP projects in the fishing industry. A multilevel model for organizing financial planning of such projects is proposed, recommendations are given on its practical application and the selection of tools that serve as its filling. It is concluded that the goal of financial planning of PPP projects in the fishing industry is to ensure long-term sustainable development of enterprises, consistent with the priorities and goals of social development. The scientific novelty of the work done is to systematize the views on PPP finance management and develop on this basis an approach to organizing a financial planning system within the framework of PPP projects taking into account the specifics of the fishing industry. The practical value of the results of this study is determined by the possibility of using them to develop measures of state economic policy in the field of the fishery complex, in particular, in the formation of state and regional target programs, as well as in the implementation of PPP mechanisms in the industry. It seems that the detailed study of financial planning tools and the development of practice-oriented methods that ensure the effectiveness of the PPP financial management system in the fishing industry can become a promising area for further research.

Purpose – Much social policy research today is commissioned, published and publicised by organisations with direct involvement in that particular aspect of policy. Whilst much good can result from such “advocacy research”, at times the tactics employed by some groups have been criticised for exaggerated claims making and sensationalist reporting as they attempt to get their particular issue into the political and public domain and also generate more government funding and/or increase public donations. The purpose of this paper is to investigate such claims. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper the author wishes to look at some of the tactics utilised by advocacy groups in order to establish the legitimacy of their particular concern. The author focuses on material published by Action for Children and the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and between 2010 and 2012 in relation to child maltreatment, critically analysing them from a social constructionist standpoint and drawing on aspects of moral panic theory. Findings – The paper concludes by warning of the dangers for both social policy and related practice that can arise from uncritically accepting the claims of contemporary moral entrepreneurs. Originality/value – This paper uses theoretical concepts to analyse contemporary campaigns by two charity organisations.

Full textAbstract:
The Polish Episcopate critically assessed the social and economic situation in Poland in the period of the transition from communism to democracy and a freemarket economy. Privatisation led to production being stopped and to an increase in unemployment. Profit and not human dignity became the measure of labour. The economic and social reality was dominated by the treatment of economics and financial success as of the highest values and the dissemination of the opinion that in politics and economics there are no values. The political elites showed an inability to develop long-term strategies for getting out of the crisis. The disappearance of the morality of many representatives of public life, which was manifested in universal corruption and the aspiration to improve social status as soon as possible, contributed to this state of affairs. As a result, there was a crisis of the idea of the common wealth and an increase in crime. The social crisis was particularly visible in moral attitudes, social behaviour, and in the economic sphere, public finance, on the labour market, and in the quickly progressing social stratification.

Introduction. The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on macroeconomic dynamics and the state of external public debt are analised. The main reasons for the growth of the State Budget deficit of Ukraine are identified and the need to increase the efficiency of the external public debt management policy in the context of minimizing the budget deficit is proved. Emphasis is placed on the situational and imbalance of Ukraine’s external public debt management policy, which is due to the lack of the Economic Development Strategy of Ukraine and the Government’s program of activities for 2020. It is substantiated that the lack of clear strategic goals of economic development of the state and adherence to such a strategy has led to an increase in the cost of servicing external pu blic debt, increasing the cost of attracting it and reducing the maturity. It is also proved that the lack of strategy together with the low level of fiscal, debt and monetary policy coherence are the main reasons for inefficient conversion of external public debt, as the main amounts of external government borrowing are not used to finance economic development, but to finance state budget expenditures and to repay old debts. The purpose of to the article is to study the theoretical and practical aspects of debt policy in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to justify a new paradigm of Ukraine’s external public debt management policy. Results. Based on the analysis of major macroeconomic trends in Ukraine and identifying external debt problems, the latest paradigm of external public debt management policy is proposed, the essence of which is to subordinate debt policy to tactical and strategic goals of the national economy budget, debt and monetary policy, as well as in achieving effective conversion of external government borrowing to stimulate economic development. It is proposed to use a program-targeted method of external public debt management policy, which involves raising funds from international organizations exclusively to finance specific government programs. Perspectives. It is necessary to increase the efficiency of conversion of external government loans to finance capital investments from the State budget, which will use the foreign debt potential to stimulate Ukraine’s economic development.

Full textAbstract:
Financial exclusion is increasingly being recognised as an important aspect of socio-economic inequality where disadvantaged individuals and communities are isolated from mainstream financial services, particularly affordable and readily available credit. In the face of these problems, social policy initiatives have emerged that have travelled under various names: social investment, micro-finance, community finance and community development finance. These initiatives are seen as the basis of a ‘new economics’ that will create self-sustaining local economies. The government is also promoting community development finance as an aspect of community regeneration with the aim of providing credit to poor communities to stimulate local enterprise and thereby reduce dependency on state support. The same approach is being taken to grant-funded community and voluntary organisations to encourage them into a neo-market approach to the delivery of services. This article explores the phenomenon of community development finance and assesses its proposed role in community regeneration and in relation to the community and voluntary sector.

The subject. The paper is focused on the study of the role of performance information in the decision-making process on public finance with particular accent on the legal aspects of the issue. The purpose. We aim to show that the performance results have a little impact on the public finance allocation in the next management cycle. Nowadays the financial resolutions are taken not on the basis of the results, but apart from them. The problem can be identified in many countries and currently discussed on the international level. We make an attempt to identify the main reasons for this. The research is elaborating the possible solutions for the problem and presenting possible amendments to the legislation. The methodology. The multidisciplinary approach is employed in this research as the problem is covered by different social sciences like law, economics and politics. The methods of analysis and synthesis are relevant for this paper. The examples and illustrations from different countries all over the world constitute the empirical part of the article. The main results and conclusions. The key reason for the omission or misuse of performance results in public finance is the passive role of the user of the performance information. There is a lack of legal incentives for using the performance results for those who take the financial decisions. Those who take the decisions in public finance governance should have an obligation to assess the performance information and use it for the further resolutions. Scope of the research outcome application. This research shall have substantial impact on the development of adequate legal model for the performance information use in public finance allocation. If the legal obligation to use the performance information is introduced it will have positive impact on the legal regulation of public finance in Russia. This can be relevant for the international studies of the issue and for the legal regulation of financial governance in other countries as well.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe substantive view of the ancient economy argues that social considerations and especially the quest for status featured prominently in ancient Greece. Paying for liturgies, the private finance of public expenditure by wealthy individuals, offered the opportunity to acquire status by choosing the level of contributions to outperform rival providers. Effectively, liturgies were a system of finance of public provision through redistributive taxation sidestepping state administration of taxes and expenditures. Applying the insights of the economic approach to status, the paper examines status competition in ancient Athens and compares paying for liturgies with a hypothetical system of explicit income taxation of the rich. It is concluded that status seeking increased aggregate provision of public goods. The results formalise important aspects of substantivism and illustrate the value of formal economic analysis in the investigation of the ancient Greek economy.

Financialization has evolved as a macro concept arising from the increased significance of finance in all aspects of social and economic relations. The present paper attempts to raise awareness on the importance of understanding financialization from a spatial standpoint. Drawing from the interactions between finance and space, the main idea put forward in this paper is to incorporate a multilayered perspective of relational space as a direct determinant of the process of financialization. Once such a suggestion is accredited, an improved, more refined concept may better inform research and public debate on the effects of financialization, expressly those related to land use (and value) and to urban social exclusion. A preliminary analysis is conducted for a number of municipalities in Brazil.

The tax system of Ukraine in the way in which it now operates, in terms of performance does not meet the conditions of modern tax systems of the world's leading countries. Proof of this is 84th place in the ranking of competitiveness and 23rd place in the ranking of the Top 25 countries with the highest level of taxation. Therefore, harmonization of the tax system is needed to simplify tax treatment and reduce the tax burden or average it in order to reduce the prices of goods production means. It is noteworthy that harmonization is now considered primarily as the harmonization of the standards of the tax systems of different countries in the framework of cooperation and the achievement of mutual positive effects. However, each state has its own economic traits and national traditions, which are reflected in the functioning of taxes. Therefore, harmonization, as a phenomenon of an economic nature, is quite applicable within a particular tax system. Among plenty of factors influencing the operating of the tax system, a group of behavioral aspects is relatively new for the native economic environment. They are based on the habits, traditions and culture of the population, public consciousness and the level of psychological and social tension in society. Although it is notable that behavioral factors arise and worsen under the influence of other groups of parameters. And one of these is the level of fiscalization of the economy and its basis - the tax system. The high level of fiscalization of the tax system has formed a negative attitude of taxpayers to taxation, which has intensified the shadow trends in the state economy. The inconsistency between the amounts of taxes paid and the quality and amount of services and benefits received from the state, as well as the low level of social guarantees, caused a general cognitive dissonance. Transformed into a prejudice, he acquired a national social character, forming a model of economic behavior that in fact denies the defining role of the state in the life of the modern individual. Therefore, it should be emphasized that the harmonious functioning of the tax system should be based on a comprehensive approach, taking into account various factors. And from this point of view, behavioral finance becomes a factor of core and direct influence.

The modern state performs a lot more functions than in historical retrospective. In addition to the totality of social functions aimed at ensuring social guarantees in society and social justice, a large pool of new financial functions has been formed that are designed to ensure transparency of mechanisms for investing in objects of particular importance. This category includes transport infrastructure, the construction and modernization of which are aimed at ensuring sustainable rates of economic growth and domestic economic security. The basis of the mechanism of financial interaction between the state and corporate entities is the regulatory framework, including a number of documents, from decrees of the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin, expended in Federal Law No. 115-FL dated July 21, 2005 “On Concession Agreements in the Russian Federation” to the National Program “Safe and High-Quality Roads” and the Federal Projects “Road Safety” and “System-wide Measures for the Development of the Road Economy”. All these documents from the conditions under which participation in project financing or concession agreements is possible, which are used as part of a public-private partnership in the construction and modernization of transport infrastructure facilities. Of particular importance is the regulatory framework for the regions, forming on its basis regional documents regulating relations between the state and private corporate investors. In the article, the authors attempted to review the experience of the Ural Federal District in the direction of developing public-private partnerships in the field of construction and modernization of transport infrastructure facilities. The place of legal aspects in the formation of the investment status of individual subjects of the Ural Federal District is shown.

The principles of green finance and social investment are relevant directions not only from the point of view of studying practical experience, but also the formation of theoretical and methodological aspects of the conceptual platform of resource-saving technologies and sources of their financing. Today, the global transformation toward clean development requires a reconsideration of many aspects of economic activity, but it especially requires a reworking of the financial architecture of the global economy and a shift in emphasis from problems of economic efficiency to sustainability and resource conservation. In the global context, the issues of financing the universal greening of economic relations at every level require, firstly, the involvement of an increasing number of participants in this process, and secondly, they require not only a formal declaration of participation in the green movement, but also confirmation through the implementation of appropriate public policies in each of the fields of economic relations. Moreover, the supranational policy documents adopted at the 11th G20 Summit on September 4-5, 2016 in PRC have prioritized the green finance development at the national and regional levels to achieve the Millennium Development Goals or 17 Sustainable Goals. It should be noted that in the context of Russian practice the green finance mechanism is developing quite dynamically, there is a comprehensive redesign of the financial architecture and national features emerge that somehow identify the Russian financial system in the context of green finance and social investment, which undoubtedly acts as a relevant research area and requires approaches of an applied nature. Determination of the fundamental features and specifics of the green finance mechanism will allow to formulate a comprehensive program of effective transformation of the entire economy in the direction of green growth and sustainable development. This study attempts to systematize the conceptual foundations of green finance in modern transformational practice and identify the problem field of research, actualizing the most important aspects of the entire financial ecosystem from the perspective of rational choice and capital-saving production.

Abstract:In this paper, we offer an empirical investigation of the relationship between social capital and human development across European countries for the post-war period. We argue that social organizations contribute directly to broader welfare aspects of development as part of the third sector of the economy, which undertakes the provision of public goods, such as health and education, in synergy with state institutions. This is counter to views that associate social organizations with anti-growth rent-seeking and lobbying activities. We begin with a multivariate regression analysis, which reveals that membership in social organizations is positively associated with human development, along with state institutions of public expenditure and the quality of governance. We then conduct a case study analysis to explore further the historical and cultural contextual factors of European welfare systems that determine the capacity of third sector organizations to enhance generalized co-operation, synergistic relations and social welfare against particularist interests.

The democratic importance of journalism is related to public good aspects of media products, as well as news media’s positive externalities. Journalism of high quality helps ensure we are all better informed and thus benefits democracy. Lack of investigative journalism may incur large social costs. However, journalism as a public good is difficult to fund on a commercial basis. Historically, an economic solution for media companies has been advertising subsidies, plus different types of public and private support. Today, the long-time marriage between news organisations and advertisers is severely weakened, and nothing so far suggests that digital revenues alone can finance a varied, broad and original news production. In the eyes of capitalist investors, news organisations represent the past, not the future. This article discusses, on the basis of Scandinavian media experiences and recent policy reforms, the necessity of a media policy and a funding system that acknowledges quality journalism as societal knowledge production and a public good.

Rural development, more specifically the economic development of counties have three public finance resources: the municipality, the central budgetary and the labour market fund resources. Based on the provisions of public finance, there are currently five provisions of the municipality resources of rural development: supporting settlements struggling with employment problems, supporting multi-purpose small regions, supporting settlements which are in a difficult position through no fault of their own, supporting public utility development and supporting holiday resorts. The opportunity of increasing investments is using EU funds. The structural change has a favourable direction, the proportion of the economic development program and regional developments increased in the recent years, but their share is still low. The proportion of agricultural and rural development programs which are important from the aspect of rural development is a less favourable phenomenon. Furthermore, the share of human and social development somewhat decreased, but it is still high. Apart from the regional programs, the Budget Act does not specify the regional distribution of budgets, only the professional purposes of uses, of which it is possible to conclude to which county development can be requested resources for.
Between 2008 and 2011, the 13–15% share of the North Great Plain region was close to the population share of 14.7%. In 2012, there was a turn of events in which the necessity of developing the region was shown. In this year, not only the proportion, but also the absolute extent of development resources increased. Therefore, the region could use resources of 16.9 billion HUF in 2010, 31.4 billion HUF in 2011 and 56.3 billion HUF in 2012. In order to properly use these resources, determined utilisation structure is necessary to be performed. The distribution of development purposes provides an explanation for the backward position of the economic performance of Hajdú-Bihar county.
Of the development resources available for four years, the region spent only 12.2% on economic development.

Full textAbstract:
A considerable number of empirical studies argue that economics experts differ from other groups with respect to their public policy preferences and their behavior in certain social dilemmas. Economists are more likely to regard allocation via markets as “fair” than other people and they seem to adjust their behavior and expectations to the actor-model presumed in the elementary neoclassical theory. Some trace back such observations to influences related to the economics education. An alternative view is that economics attracts individuals with preferences that differ from those of non-economists. While the literature on the matter is growing, a comprehensive picture of the nature and sources of the differences has not yet emerged. This article reviews research based on the survey, experimental, and field evidence collected since 1990 to detect, characterize, and explain the differences. It points at some problems inherent to the methodology that dominates the existing research. Primarily, it directs attention to some psychological and social-psychological aspects of training and socializing economists that have not found adequate recognition so far, but should be considered, to better understand the phenomena in question.

Full textAbstract:
We examine the social dynamics of crime by means of evolutionary game theory, and we model the choice of boundedly rational potential victims to privately self-protect against prospective offenders. Negative externalities from self-protection, as the socially transmitted fear of victimization, can influence the strategic choices of victims even with constant or declining crime rates, and this circumstance may lead to Pareto inefficient equilibria with excessive expenses for private protection. Providing higher levels of public security (or of appropriate social care) financed through discriminatory taxation of private defensive behaviors can prevent crime and reduce superfluous self-protection, thus driving the social dynamics toward a more efficient equilibrium. Public policy can therefore be effective in implementing the social optimum. This article extends previous work by Cressman, Morrison, and Wen by increasing the range of possible dynamics and the scope for public intervention. Consequently, in our model, public policy can deter crime and improve the welfare of victims by addressing the intangible aspects of crime, that is, the social dynamics of fear.

Purpose – This paper aims to identify models of best practice and examines the manner in which such social partnerships attract new partners and scale-up their solutions. Social responsibility initiatives that incorporate multiple sectors have the capacity to challenge unsustainable practice and pave the way for model solutions towards the societal problems we face globally. Design/methodology/approach – Comparisons of three Australian case studies were analysed. These cases were purposefully selected as they all represented relationships that demonstrated social partnerships characteristics, and they had all attracted acclaim by their peers. They differed in terms of their societal problems and relationship duration. Semi-structured interviews were held with managers and employees from each social partnership, where they discussed all aspects of the partnership lifecycle from pre-collaborative conditions through to outcomes. In total, 50 semi-structured interviews were held with members of the private, nonprofit and public sectors. Findings – Social partnerships pool skills, knowledge and finance across sectors, concentrating on specific societal issues of mutual concern. Resultant successful initiatives act as catalysts in soliciting further support. Three primary pathways exist for successful social partnerships that wish to evolve: expansion, replication and refinement. Focused attention and resources, through the formation of social responsibility clusters, can lead to sustainable solutions. Practical implications – There are many organisations wishing to move on from philanthropic exchange towards more meaningful integrated relationships. This paper highlights the value of both within sector and cross-sector collaboration to achieve organisational outcomes. It provides some insight into the entry points for both nonprofit organisations as well as small- to medium-sized private sector organisations that would otherwise consider social investment in large-scale societal problems beyond their reach. Originality/value – Social partnerships within the Australian context are under-represented; this paper addresses this by examining three best practice exemplars. The rationale for incorporating new partners and sharing success is discussed and supported by a model of social responsibility cluster formation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the extent of fraud prevention disclosure on the Malaysian public universities’ websites. Design/methodology/approach The level of fraud prevention information disclosure was examined using content analysis of all 20 public universities in Malaysia based on the university fraud prevention disclosure index (UFPDi) previously developed by the authors’ research team. Findings The disclosures of eight aspects of fraud prevention policies, responses, initiatives and mechanisms were not satisfactory. Possible reasons could be because of lack of awareness and appreciation on the institutional mechanisms and lack of formal pressure from the relevant authority. Research limitations/implications Data collection for analysis was conducted during a period of one month only due to rapid changes of the information on the websites. Social implications The low level of disclosure using UFPDi will prompt the Malaysian public universities to take proactive actions in promoting transparent and good governance among the university staff hence assisting the government in addressing the fraud problem that is plaguing the nation. Originality/value This paper is an extension to the authors’ previous work on UFPDi. It further explains and highlights the extent of fraud prevention disclosures among academic institutions who are receiving financial resources from the government.

Currently, all the prerequisites have been met for transitioning to the qualitatively higher level of public finance management that correspond to the generally accepted principles and international standards. The responsibility for choosing the most effective methods of public expenditure management increases with the development of innovation economy. This actualizes the problem of improving the state financing of social expenditures. The subject of this research is the assessment of the effectiveness of government spending in the area of social policy, considering the range of indicators that reflect socioeconomic development of the regions. The score is suggested for assessing the effectiveness of government spending in the area of social policy based on the standardized values of the criteria that describe the aspects of social policy of the regions and the peculiarities of their economic development. The proposed methodology for integrated assessment of the effectiveness of government spending takes into account the trends in the criteria that characterize the level of economic development of the regions, as well as possible variability of budget flows aimed at financing social expenditures. Practical implementation of such methodology allows classifying the territories by the level of efficiency of social expenditures, which facilitates rational financial decisions on the formation of resources that ensure sustainable economic growth and development of strong human capital.

ABSTRACT Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and initial public offerings (IPOs) are important aspects of research across multiple academic disciplines, primarily accounting, finance, and management. This research paper seeks to link streams of research through the development of a content analytic dictionary using computer-aided text analysis (CATA).The dictionary, validated in the context of U.S. IPOs between 2011 and 2013, revealed four dimensions of corporate social responsibility. Each of these dimensions is used to predict IPO size in terms of offering price and total shares offered, as well as underpricing on the first day of trade. This research provides a new measure of CSR that can be generalized to other text documents issued by a corporation. Researchers may find this tool useful as we continue to advance our understanding of the explicit and implicit meanings embodied in the CSR disclosures made by corporations.

In addition to education, health is a basic component of human capital. Until recently the significance of health of the population was not the subject of serious study in economic science. However, in recent research, health is increasingly treated as a factor with long-term effect on economic development. It was concluded that the realisation of various health programmes had pronounced and numerous economic effects. The improvement of health services resulted in reduced mortality rate between the developed and underdeveloped countries, which had effect on economic growth. The health of individuals is reflected in biological, psychological, and social sphere, and their interaction. The more healthy individuals in a society, the easier it is to drive economic development. Thus in the economy of health the “production “of health as an important process in human capital increases. Total health “production” is determined by numerous factors such as available income, property, degree of education, genetic predisposition and level of public health. Besides, many other factors that determine life style of an individual are also important, which influences the creation of health needs like smoking, alcohol and drug consumption etc. These factors have impact on health “production” by using the available financial resources. Here, the possibilities of new technologies to satisfy various needs for health care should also be mentioned, since they are unavoidably connected with the increasing finances. Treatment of health protection as a domain where health is “produced” leads to conclusion that it is possible, in analytical sense, to express the relation between health status (of an individual, certain group of people, or ethnic community) as a result of health protection system and factors that determine that status in the form of production function Health = F (health protection, other inputs, time). This does not refer so much to health industry, aimed at preventing diseases (although it is important as well), but, first and foremost, to prevention and healthy lifestyle (diet, physical activity, finding right measures for each thing, avoiding harmful substances and pollution of the environment). Healthy life, of course, includes sufficient free time and appropriate living standard. Health of labour is particularly affected by healthy diet, healthy working environment, appropriate daily, weekly, and annual breaks, appropriate housing, organized care of employees’ young children, organization of physical and social activities in the company, and the like. In this context, the central problem of health protection system management is how to provide maximum possible level of health status of population with the available finances allocated for health protection. Health economists, logically, cannot directly influence the improvement of health status of the population, but can be useful in increase of efficiency in the use of available finances for health care, i.e. increase the level of health status of the population by using the same amount of finances.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with issues related to research methodology in the financial field. An important aspect of the author's approach is a new look at the research, which is proposed to be considered as prospective and current. The argument for this approach is the need to combine traditional basic and applied research into a group of prospective, ie those that result in some long-term goals and can usually result in scientific novelty. Instead, current research is no less practical. It is through current research that the necessary measures are being implemented. This applies to technical, technological, organisational, economic and financial measures, which ultimately provide some improvement in the activities of any entity. The characteristics of prospective and current research are given, which determine the differences between them. In particular, such characteristics are: the expected result, the tools for the study and the composition of researchers - performers of prospective or current research. Based on the division of research into prospective and current, the different directions of these types of scientific and practical research are determined. It is noted that the formulation of tasks of different purpose and nature requires the definition of certain pre-defined sets of research methods. Narrowing of methodical tools can lead to erroneous results. Instead, an integrated approach, formulated not only for a hypothetical goal and potential outcome, but also for the choice of research methods, is an important safeguard against erroneous conclusions. To do this, a matrix has been developed, in which complexes of research methods (for several examples) have been formed, which will allow to obtain the most substantiated result of the research, both prospective and current. Such examples are: economic and social efficiency of financial research, public policy in the field of finance, funding schemes for research. A study of well-known empirical and theoretical research methods has been carried out, from the standpoint of the peculiarities of financial research in scientific and practical activities. In particular, examples from the financial sphere of possible searches, with the help of general methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction and analogy, are investigated and given. From empirical methods examples of directions of possible researches, with use of comparison, experiment, modeling, are considered and resulted. The generally accepted and special characteristics of research in the field of finance are considered. Among them are important for financiers the concept of science and the need to master the scientific approach to financial research; the nature and characteristics of the research process; scientific (theoretical) base and financial aspects of research; research priorities; directions of research of natural and social sciences; stages of scientific research; methodological approach to the study of efficiency in finance. These issues are important for researchers, as well as for students and graduate students studying in financial educational-professional and educational-scientific programs.

Development of the Russian economy causes the growth of public requirements and structural changes connected with it directed to an increase in the efficiency of social and economic tasks solution. Need of partnership of the state and private business development for the solution of problems in the social and economic sphere predetermines by the insufficiency of opportunities of the public (budgetary) financing of investment projects, large-scale and significant for society. The public-private partnership (PPP) acts as one of the modern economic mechanisms allowing realizing the interaction of the state and business. The PPP, on the one side, represents a special form of influence of state authorities and management for the purpose of stimulation of business activity, and with another, acts as the economic mechanism of the solution of social and economic tasks. The article is devoted to the consideration of the public-private partnership mechanism as one of the most modern methods of economic activity state regulation which basis the basic coordination principle of the parties interests and allowing to combine interests and technologies of business. Need and the prospects of further development of mechanisms of state-private partnership on the basis of the state strategic planning are proved. Special attention is paid to the interrelation of development of public-private partnership and need of theoretical scientific research in the field of improvement of institutional, ensuring its realization. It is shown that the role of the mechanism of public-private partnership in the economy is defined, first of all, by its elements as subjects and objects of public-private partnership, priority spheres of realization. Authors allocate and describe a number of aspects of the mechanism of functioning of public-private partnership, namely: organizational and legal, financial and investment, technical and organizational, regional. In the article, the main problems connected with the development of the mechanism of PPP, including with lack of the description of concrete mechanisms of use of the majority of forms of PPP and lack of regulation of questions of division of powers between public authorities and business are allocated and proved.

This paper summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion regarding the behavioral aspects of customer choice of state or foreign bank banking services. The purpose of the study is to study and analyze the behavior of customers when choosing a bank category (state or foreign) to obtain banking services. In order to test the scientific hypotheses, we conducted a survey of clients and bank managers of 12 banks (6 states and 6 foreign). In Algeria, a separate range of financial transactions (in particular, housing lending and investment programs) is entrusted to state-owned banks only, so clients in Algeria do not leave state-owned banks, even if they also start servicing higher-quality foreign banks. The processing of the survey results showed that the key factors that determine the priorities in choosing clients of a state or foreign bank are: the reputation of the bank; tips from friends or acquaintances advice of a bank employee; accident; bank advertising (for foreign banks only). In addition, the choice of the bank by a client in Algeria is influenced by behavioral and institutional factors such as religion, traditions, and social customs. The survey found that just over half of the customers were satisfied with the services of state-owned banks, while 85% were completely satisfied with new banking technologies, ease of use and time savings among foreign bank clients. The main factors that determine the level of customer satisfaction with banking services are ease of knowing cash and payment for services; highly efficient organization and simplicity of credit mechanisms; adherence to the principles of Islamic finance by some foreign banks (alternative finance, where loans and savings do not imply interest rates); more advanced banking services (mainly for foreign banks). Keywords: bank, state bank, foreign bank, customer, competition, bank reputation, banking.

Of late, various constitutional issues come to the surface and become the subject of debate among the society members be it in the social media or in the printed or electronic media. Issues like the position of Malay Kings, the special rights of Malays, Islam and Malay Language are often debated. This debate is something that sparks an interest because the public begins to pay attention to the content of the constitution. Although sometimes the debate does not truly convey the actual meaning of constitution, the public is beginning to like talking about the constitution that, all this while, is difficult to grasp and which appears to only be understood by lawyers or those reading law only. Thus, it is advisable to start socialising the constitution. The concept of socialising the constitution means that the community has to be exposed with the constitution not only from the legislative aspect alone but also from the historical, cultural, religious, political and ethnic relations aspects. This is stated by the Reid Commission Report that stresses on how important it is for the constitution to take into account the factors of history, tradition, economy and social that existed in 1957.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the problems of budget support of active aging processes and sustainability of public finances of Ukraine. This problem is urgent because of the accelerating pace of demographic aging, cross-country migration, limited budgetary resources, which in their totality increase the burden on the younger generation, create financial risks for the government and households. This problem remains out of research focus in spite of the rising need to increase budget expenditures, maintain the long-term sustainability of public finances, enforce new regulatory measures on the labor market and the health care system, provide social and educational services, and reduce the poverty among the elderly. New approaches to citizen support should be in line with the European norms, which, in their totality, contribute to the active longevity of the population, reduction of the tax burden, relief of the pressure on the next generations and continuity between generations.
The financial support of social services provided to the elderly is analyzed, with identifying its problematic aspects. In order to improve approaches to financing social services, a Matrix of Choice of Social Services for Active Aging and Forms of Financing is constructed. To expand the sources of funding for active aging processes, it is proposed to introduce co-financing of selected social projects by government and businesses.
It is substantiated that the Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the provisions of the Active Aging Strategy, should be consistent and taken into consideration in formulating social and budgetary policies that need to be based on the targets of the Active Aging Index.
In order to implement the budget mechanism “money goes after a person”, aimed to enhance the targeting of social assistance programs, amendments to the Budget Code of Ukraine, the Economic Code of Ukraine, the Laws of Ukraine “On social services”, “On improving the accessibility and quality of health care in rural areas” are proposed. Recommendations on using the compensatory mechanisms to enhance the ability of the government to provide the adequate financial support for active aging without breaking the sustainability of public finances are elaborated.

Full textAbstract:
Many proposals to reform health care finance and delivery require individuals or private employers to pay for private health insurance. Senators Ron Wyden and Robert Bennett’s Healthy Americans Act, for instance, would require every adult person who is not covered by a public program to purchase health insurance. Similarly, President Obama’s campaign proposal requires that parents arrange for coverage of their minor children and that all but small employers pay a tax if they do not provide their workers health insurance.This paper addresses the constitutionality of such proposals. Compulsory health insurance might raise constitutional concerns because there is no existing social legislation that serves as a perfect legal analogy to an individual mandate for private health insurance. Insurance mandates are familiar in other contexts, such as automobile liability, but they present an easier case for constitutionality because they are a condition of exercising a privilege, such as driving a car.

This article, which is result of a research and development (R&D) project financed by the Spanish administration, studies the difficulties in managing social inclusion programs in Social Service (SS) Centers located in areas with high rates of exclusion in Andalusia (Spain). The research follows a qualitative methodology, based on observation, semi-open interviews (SOI), and focus groups (FG) aimed at the different actors in four Social Service Centers. Three dimensions are addressed: normative, functional, and perceived. The main results are four groups of incident factors: the mismatch between the expectations of non-professional actors (politicians, etc.) and those of technicians; the knowledge management of implemented dynamics; the position of the SS in local action networks; and the professional–client relationship. We concluded that, although these programs should be managed in an inclusive context, they are conditioned by scenarios with little possibility of social activation and a high level of interference and additional demands. Aspects that generate a great deal of organizational pressure divert professional practices to social assistance work.

The article deals with the financial and economic problems of access to health care for the citizens of Russia. It analyzes basic methodological approaches as well as the corresponding official statistics and sociological research on the state of the country’s health system, which, according to author’s opinion, can describe the situation with the accessibility of health care. It is shown that underfunding of health care from public sources and the associated expansion of private finances, can signal problems with access for Russian citizens. Especially if the overall socio-economic situation in the country is taken into account, namely the federal state policy of shifting health expenditures to regional level under the conditions of high regional social and economic differentiation and high income inequality. Thus, the development of fiscal policy within the budget federalism in Russia should take into account its implications for people’s access to health.

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the role of spiritual, psychological and social dimensions of business taxpayer compliance in micro small and medium enterprises. Tax compliance is an ideal condition for taxpayers who meet tax regulations and report income accurately and honestly. However, the reality in Indonesia shows the voluntary compliance level to the community is still low. This is reflected in the amount of state tax revenue compared to gross domestic product. Design/methodology/approach The location of the study was conducted on taxpayers of micro small and medium enterprises in Bali Province. The type of data used in this study is quantitative data with primary data sources in the form of questionnaires to 100 business taxpayers. Data analysis uses multiple linear regression. Findings The results showed that money ethics (as a psychological dimension) and tax socialization (as a social dimension), did not significantly influence tax compliance. Karma phala (as a spiritual dimension) has a positive and significant effect on business taxpayers’ compliance. When an individual's behavior has reflected commitment in their religion philosophy, it is expected to be a control of deviant behavior and good behavior in taxation obligations. In the future, it will be able to prevent deviations from perversion and universal undesirable. Research limitations/implications Research is only limited to entrepreneurs who are in the micro small and medium business sector, so it is still lacking in representing the public opinions, especially business people in businesses whose scope is wider. In addition, the variables used in this study are still not maximized, one can add more variables, one of which is tax modernization. Originality/value Consideration of spirituality dimension use because it is part of individual character formation in attitude and behavior. The psychological and spiritual dimensions include the human behavior theories development that integrate aspects of spirituality to shape human behavior as a whole with a comprehensive perspective, especially religious philosophy through the enforcement of karma phala laws to realize compliance and fulfillment of tax obligations with full responsibility.

The democratic and social aspects of the new European governance are not really separable. In the 1970s monetary union was seen as the successful culmination of political and social integration; subsequently, it was regarded as the trigger for such integration. Finally, the Maastricht Treaty opted for monetary union in the absence of political union, on a basis of rule-based governance for the public finances and with social policy playing the role of shock absorber. Since 2008 the crises in the euro area have shown that this route does not lead to increased convergence and their result has been to exacerbate the dismantling of social models. Today the question of political integration has come once again to the surface, albeit accompanied so far by scant democratic debate. The authors of this contribution consider that EMU will never be stable in the absence of real debate on the varying options and of a strengthening of the European social model.

Since the restoration of independence (1990) significant changes were made in all aspects of Lithuania's economy. The achievements of the country in the area of economic development are obvious ‐ the essential preconditions for faster economic growth and approaching to the social‐economical life standards of advanced countries were created during a transition period. The exceptional role between different factors of social‐economical development of the country is ascribed to public finance. The statistics shows persuasive common world tendency of public expenditure growth. It can be explained in relation to historical changes of the sense, role and principles of management. The comparison of 1995–2001 year indicators, describing the public expenditure of Lithuania with the other countries including four new residents of the EU (Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Poland), five old ones (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, United Kingdom) and two representatives of CIS (Belorus and Rusia) is resulted by certain main conclusions. The Republic of Lithuania occupies one from below place in a diminution row between twelve countries which were selected for the investigation. It is a characteristic feature of the last investigated year (2001) as well as an average of three investigated years (1995, 1998, 2001). The structure of public expenditure on function section of our country is similar to one of other new members of the EU, Lithuania made steps during 1995–2001 towards the structure of public expenditure on function and economic classifications the countries ‐ old residents. The relative changes of Lithuanian public expenditure in function section were the largest between all the investigated countries, while the change of total public expenditure (% of GDP) was the smallest. The disclosed comparative estimates of public expenditure on these scale and structure and its tendencies can be used as a reference point for creating the fiscal policy, improving public sector management and implementation of national budget reforms. These estimates may also serve as arguments for tax reforms what is a topical issue for the present time.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To relate hospitals' organizational structure as the core of a web of outsourced services and flexible employment bonds among healthcare professionals in the context of finance capitalism, analyzing work arrangements based mainly on the type of employment bond. METHOD Qualitative research through ethnography, interviews, data analysis, and case studies. The case studies were concentrated in 3 hospitals located in the São Paulo metropolitan region under different management types: public administration; outsourced administration via a healthcare social organization (HSO); and private administration. RESULTS This study highlights a trend in outsourcing, dismantling of steady jobs, and shaping working relations asymmetrically in terms of healthcare professions. CONCLUSION These aspects are characteristic of contemporary capitalism and post-Fordist work organization. In this context, the state under sponsorship cripples the very existence of an effective human resources policy, creating a favorable environment for outsourcing and flexibility of employment bonds among healthcare workers.

AbstractPrevious studies have described various associations between tax policy and health. Here we propose a unifying conceptual framework of ‘Five R’s’ to stimulate awareness about the importance of tax to health improvement. First, tax can improverepresentationand democratic accountability, and help make governments more responsive to the needs of its citizens. Second, tax can create arevenuestream for a universal pool of public finance for health care and other public services. Third, progressive taxation when combined with appropriate public spending can helpredistributewealth and income and mitigate social and health inequalities. Fourth, there-pricingof harmful products (e.g. tobacco, alcohol and unhealthy food) can help reduce their consumption. Fifth, taxation provides a route by which certain harmful industries can beregulated. The paper also discusses the barriers that hinder the full potential for taxation to be used to improve health, including: weak tax administrations, large ‘shadow economies’, international trade liberalisation, tax avoidance, transfer pricing by transnational corporations and banking secrecy. We suggest that a greater awareness of the manifold associations between tax and health will encourage health practitioners to actively promote fairer and better taxation, thereby helping to improve health and reduce health inequalities.

Purpose – The purposes of this paper are as follows. Part one examines the role of denialism in the context of proposals advanced through the much-abused Limits to Growth (LtG) project. Part two uses three sets of criteria (domains of reality, worldviews and values) to characterise some of the interior human and social aspects of the “denial machine.” It uses these criteria to address some vital, but currently under-appreciated “interior” aspects of descent. (N.B. A succinct “primer” or overview of the concept and underpinning rationale for notions of “descent pathways” is provided in the introduction to this special issue.) Design/methodology/approach – The paper draws on a number of authoritative sources that track the dimensions of global change and, specifically, the ways that humanity is tracking towards Dystopian overshoot-and-collapse futures. The significance of the LtG project is assessed in this context. Part two employs the criteria noted above to identify and open out the centrality of the human and cultural interiors. Findings – Responses to the LtG project are shown to have deprived humanity of the clarity and will to respond effectively to the emerging global emergency. The rise of climate change denialism has followed suit and made effective responses increasingly difficult. A new focus, however, on some of the dynamics of reality domains, worldviews and values, clarifies both the nature of the problem and prefigures a range of solutions, some of which are briefly outlined. Research limitations/implications – This is primarily a conceptual paper that suggests a range of practical responses. For example, re-purposing parts of the current information technology (IT) infrastructure away from financial and economic indices to those tracking the health of the planet. Also translating the case put forward here for a new generation of Institutions of Foresight (IoFs) into real-world start-ups and examples. Further research is needed into the uses and limitations both of positive and negative views of futures. It is suggested that the latter have more value than is commonly realised. Practical implications – In addition to those stated above, the practical implications include new uses for IT infrastructure based on worldcentric – rather than financial and economic worldviews; designing and implementing a new generation of IoFs; and finding new ways to inform the public of impending Dystopian outcomes without exacerbating avoidance and depression. Social implications – The social implications are profound. Currently, humanity has allowed itself to “tune out” and ignore many of the well-founded “signals” (from the global system) and warnings (from those who have observed and tracked real-world changes). As a result, it has outgrown the capacity of the planet to support the current population, let alone the 10 billion currently projected by the United Nations (UN). Something must give. Applied foresight can provide essential lead time to act before human actions are overwhelmed by forces beyond its control. Originality/value – The paper draws together material from hitherto disparate sources to assess the LtG project. It also deploys key concepts from an integral perspective that shed new light on human and cultural forces that determine how people respond to the prospect of Dystopian futures. In so doing, it provides insight into why we are where we are and also into some of the means by which humanity can respond. Specifically, it suggests a shift from collapse narratives to those of descent.

A financial crisis can somehow imply an aspect of social crisis but a social crisis usually reflects the crisis of the society per se, and therefore the historical and cultural background as well as the legal and financial system therefrom. In the case of Asia, the context should add another storyline of the reception and integration of western ideas, including, inter alia, justification of taxation and its implication on government intervention. This paper examines such elements in the form of dialogue with historical accounts of traditional Chinese thoughts.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to link theories on the meaning of work with the meanings participants in a public work scheme attribute to work, in a context of high national and local unemployment and precarious employment. Design/methodology/approach – This study followed a qualitative strategy to allow participants to express their own meanings of work through a work-life history approach. Findings from eight interviews are substantiated by two focus groups and thematically analysed. Findings – Analysis of the findings revealed a high correlation with Kaplan and Tausky’s typology of the meanings of work (1974). The implication of this grounded approach is that this study expands the typology from six to eight factors. In this manner, work in a public work scheme not only has meaning as an economic activity, a structured routine, intrinsic satisfaction, interpersonal experiences, social status and a morally correct activity, but is also gendered and an opportunity for training. Originality/value – Apart from expanding Kaplan and Tausky’s typology on the meanings of work (1974), this study highlights the added-value of public work schemes, in that, by providing the unemployed with the opportunity to work, they also improve their quality of life in a number of aspects.

OJK has issued regulation No.51/POJK.03/2017 on The Application of Sustainable Finance for Financial Services Institution, Issuer and Public Companies, requires all financial services institutions, including banks to applied sustainable financial principles. While some of the principles of sustainable finance are already part of banking regulation such the obligation to implement risk management and governance, they have not specifically accommodated the demand to integrate economic, social and environmental aspect as a pillar of sustainable banking. This study is used normative juridical approaches and analytical descriptive research specifications, legal issues are how to implement sustainable financial principles in the banking sector and urgency of the bank’s sustainable report as an effort to identify bank compliance with sustainable financial principles. Banks are required to make and publish sustainable financial statements as a form of bank accountability to all stakeholders to comply with governance principles, in particular transparency obligations. This sustainable reporting is a form of report conducted by a company in order to disclose or communicate to all stakeholders on good environmental, social and governance performance in an accountable manner.

Outline The recent re-alignment of urban policy, involving the promotion of a diversity of public-private partnerships, a fostering of local business elites, and the increasing importance of city marketing and image reconstruction, all point in the direction of a "new localism" in urban regeneration. Focusing on the potential of the recent City Pride initiative in building up consensual and holistic "visions" of Britain's main cities, the following set of papers assess the role of the "urban prospectus" in fostering local coalitions and the benefits of mutuality in order to address issues of resource procurement and allocation. The potential of this new approach for targeting large-scale programme and project investment in the local economy, infrastructural priorities and aspects of social cohesion are all considered by the contributing authors, who look specifically at recent developments in London, Manchester and Birmingham.

The introduction of the project-based approach into the practice of public finance management is necessitated by modern requirements for the state regulation of the social and economic sphere beginning with the processes of budget planning. The subject of research is the theoretical and methodological aspects of the project-based approach to the management of budget expenditures. The purpose of research was to determine the role and place of the project-based approach in the modern budget planning system. The paper proves that the project-based approach should be viewed as a part of budget programming. Along with that, the formulated specific features of the project-based approach make it possible to draw a boundary line between the concepts of project-based and program-target management of budget expenditures. The paper also analyzes the federal experience in using the project-based approach for planning budget expenditures. The results of the analysis point out the need for its further improvement and appropriate recommendations are proposed.

Abstract Introduction. Urinary incontinence, meaning irrespective of will leakage of urine, is a serious health problem, and has the status of social disease basing on the epidemiological data concerning number of affected populations suffering from it Taking into consideration the chronic character of the disease and increasing social discomfort including social exclusion, the costs of treatment and rehabilitation should be lower so patients could improve the quality of their lives in other aspects. That is why it is important to deeply analyze the costs of urinary incontinence in terms of diagnostics, treatment and rehabilitation. Aim. Costs analysis related to diagnostics and treatment of urinary incontinence incurred by patient, or co-financed/funded by the National Health Fund on the basis of the literature review. Summary. The few but regularly prepared reports show that there is a clear need for changes in the funding of services provided to patients with health needs. Both the social and economic aspects are important for each patient and should be deeply analysed by public funds decision makers. It would be much easier to take an action if the probability of complete cure was high.

Full textAbstract:
Globalization is often discussed as if it were a recent phenomenon relating primarily to the development of world financial markets and improvements in information and travel technologies. But globalization is an ancient process, beginning with mercantile and cultural exchanges and facilitated by advances in transportation. In the twentieth century, the results of globalization can be seen in the rise of global capitalism and in the construction of a global economy. Most recently, the process of globalization has moved beyond the world of finance, however, into areas still traditionally thought of as national concerns, such as culture and healthcare. It is no surprise, therefore, that increasingly the challenges the United States is confronting in healthcare, biotechnology, and the environment are simultaneously faced by the international community as a whole. In the wake of the HIV pandemic, growing environmental consciousness, and a series of sensational advances in biotechnology, there is a dawning realization that problems such as improving public health, regulating advances in biotechnology, and achieving sustainable environmental development transcend national borders. In other words, bioethics concerns are global in nature.
