PEREIRA JÚNIOR, Antonio Jorge, and Márcio Anderson Silveira CAPISTRANO. "O MÉTODO DO CASO NO ENSINO JURÍDICO COMO RESPOSTA À NECESSÁRIA ABERTURA DOS TEXTOS NORMATIVOS SOBRE RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL." Revista Juridica 1, no. 54 (March 29, 2019): 452. http://dx.doi.org/10.21902/revistajur.2316-753x.v1i54.3317.

RESUMO O presente artigo objetiva verificar a utilidade e a forma de aplicação do método do caso (case method) no ensino jurídico da responsabilidade civil. Trata-se de ramo marcadamente jurisprudencial, com textos normativos abertos e imprecisos. A partir da pesquisa bibliográfica, constata-se que o método do caso propicia o indispensável desenvolvimento da razão prática jurídica, empregada na atividade interpretativa voltada à decisão considerada justa para o caso concreto. Tal método prepara a capacidade reflexiva para percepção dos valores e interesses envolvidos no caso submetido a análise, mais necessária em face da insuficiência do direito legislado e da doutrina. Em perspectiva pragmática, o artigo traz indagações exemplificativas aptas a estimular a reflexão do discente em matéria de responsabilidade civil. Apresenta-se, ainda, roteiro ilustrativo de aula a respeito de um problema jurídico real: a possível responsabilidade do Estado por nomeação tardia em concurso público, tema enfrentado pelo STF no julgamento do Recurso Extraordinário n. 724.347/DF, em regime de repercussão geral. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Método Do Caso; Responsabilidade Civil; Ensino Jurídico; Didática; Razão Prática Jurídica. ABSTRACTThe present article aims to verify the feasibility and the means of applying the case method in legal education of tort liability. It is a niche markedly jurisprudential, with open and imprecise normative texts. Through bibliographical research, it is verified that the case method propitiates the indispensable development of juridical practical reason, used in the interpretive activity focused on the decision considered just for the concrete case. This method prepares the reflective capacity for understanding of the values and interests involved in the case submitted for consideration, which is more necessary in view of the insufficiency of statute law and doctrine. In a pragmatic perspective, this article lists exemplary questions capable of stimulating student’s reflection on tort liability. It also presents an illustrative lesson plan on a real juridical problem: possible State liability for late nomination in civil service examinations, a matter faced by Supreme Court in the judgment of Extraordinary Appeal no. 724,347/DF, under the system of general repercussion. KEYWORDS: Case Method; Tort Liability; Legal Education; Didactics; Juridical Practical Reason.

The whole question of the future of the East is full of interest, and is, perhaps, the greatest political question in the world.(Benjamin Jowett)… a corps of men specially selected, brought up in a rigour of bodily hardship to which no other modern people have subjected their ruling class, trained by cold baths, cricket, and the history of Greece and Rome …(Philip Mason)In his essay ‘Comparativism and references to Rome in British imperial attitudes to India’, Javed Majeed shows how Greek and Latin figured prominently in the examinations for the Indian Civil Service, the prestigious administrative body that David Lloyd George called ‘the steel frame’. Greek and Latin were not just used to attract and shape a class of ruling ‘gentlemen’, but were also part of a complex structure of attitude and practice designed ‘to preserve the ICS as a monopoly of European officers’. Majeed's insightful essay sheds light on the role of ICS examinations and on the function of Classics in colonial contexts, although it is mainly about comparative approaches to the British and Roman empires.

This article describes how the Civil Service examination system in Vietnam responded to the crisis French military aggression posed to that nation in the late 19th Century, and how it adapted to the French protectorate in the early 20th Century. It presents evidence that contests the notion that the examination declined in relevance along with “Chinese influence” over Vietnam, and that adoption of European-style modernity led to its elimination. Instead, this essay proposes that officials adapted the examination to fit with the circumstances of the time. Furthermore, the changes within the examination were not a realignment in emphasis from “China” to “Europe” but rather a shift from envisaging a universalistic world to imagining a particularistic, nationalist one. In support of this central argument, it will consider specifically the way that examination answers represented France. The examinations of 1862, 1877, and 1904 will receive particular attention as case studies demonstrating this shift.

There has been a long-standing complaint about civil service test results. Too often, highly regarded candidates do not score well enough to be reached for appointment, and poorly regarded candidates do score well, and block the appointments of the best candidates. Efforts have been made in recent years to expand selection beyond the “rule of three” and to provide for more flexible lateral movement. These efforts, however, do not address the underlying need for fixing the product.

Abstract In this study, quali-quanti methodology was applied to analyze the implementation of Law no. 12,990/2014 on quotas for Black candidates at 63 federal universities and 38 federal ‘institutes’ (secondary and vocational training), during the period that spanned 2014 to 2018. The law reserves 20% of teaching vacancies filled through federal civil servant examinations for Black people. We observe the distance that separates the legally-stipulated conditions and actual practice in these institutions. As five years have now gone by since the passage of this legislation, it seems safe to say that the goal of expanding racial/color diversity in federal civil service will not be achieved through public examinations for teaching careers. Moreover, meeting this goal becomes progressively harder, given the present scenario of resurgence of meritocratic discourses that question the legitimacy of affirmative actions for Afro-Brazilians.

Full textAbstract:
Most previous scholarship about the civil service examination system in imperial China has emphasized the degree of social mobility such examinations permitted in a premodern society. In the same vein, historians have evaluated the examination process in late imperial China from the perspective of the modernization process in modern Europe and the United States. They have thereby successfully exposed the failure of the Confucian system to advance the specialization and training in science that are deemed essential for nation-states to progress beyond their premodern institutions and autocratic political traditions. In this article, I caution against such contemporary, ahistorical standards for political, cultural, and social formation. These a priori judgments are often expressed teleologically when tied to the “modernization narrative” that still pervades our historiography of Ming (1368–1644) and Ch'ing (1644–1911) dynasty China.

Full textAbstract:
This article investigates the practice of returning marked papers to rejected candidates in late imperial Chinese examinations. The practice—common from the sixteenth century to the abolition of imperial examinations in 1905—established a sense of personal communication between examiners and examinees and was an opportunity for rejected candidates to benefit from the examination system. The failed papers returned to their authors enabled them to make sense of their performance by interpreting, when not misconstruing, examiners’ comments. The examiners sometimes praised the papers and blamed the decision to fail on other examiners. As a result, most rejected candidates tended not to challenge the examiners through official channels or take collective action against the examination system. Thus, in the late imperial examination system, the ways in which rejecting decisions could be negotiated and construed were no less important than the awarding of degrees to an extremely small proportion of participants. Cet article s’intéresse à la pratique, particulière à la période impériale tardive, consistant à rendre leurs copies aux candidats ayant échoué aux examens. Courante depuis le xvie siècle et jusqu’à l’abolition des examens mandarinaux en 1905, cette pratique créait l’impression d’une relation personnelle entre les examinateurs et les candidats et était un moyen pour ceux qui avaient échoué de tirer profit du système. Les copies rejetées retournées à leurs auteurs permettaient à ces derniers de donner un sens à leur performance en interprétant, voire en dévoyant, les commentaires des examinateurs. Il arrivait que les examinateurs fassent l’éloge des copies et attribuent à autrui la décision de les rejeter. De ce fait, la plupart des candidats malheureux évitaient de contester les examinateurs par la voie réglementaire ou de manifester collectivement contre le système. Ainsi, dans le système des examens à la fin de la période impériale, la manière dont les décisions négatives pouvaient être négociées ou interprétées n’était pas moins importante que l’attribution de rangs académiques à une toute petite proportion de ceux qui concouraient.

In this study, we investigate what would happen in a Chinese historical family line. We have analyzed a particular family line which had a great many candidates who passed the very tough examinations for Chinese government officials over 500 years. First, we studied the genealogical records Zokufu in China. Second, based on the study, we implemented an agent-based model with the family line network as an adjacency matrix, and the personal profile data as an attribution matrix. Third, using the "inverse simulation" technique, we optimized the agent-based model in order to fit the simulation profiles to the real profile data. From the intensive experiments, we have found that both grandfather and mother have a profound impact within a family in (1) transmitting cultural capital to the children, and (2) maintaining the norm system of the family. We conclude that advanced agent-based models are able to contribute to the discovery of new knowledge in the fields of historical science.

Full textAbstract:
Frank H. Galbraith, a clerk with the Railway Mail Service, developed railway maps in the late 1800s to assist railway mail clerks in learning complex railway mail distribution networks for civil service examinations. Galbraith’s maps were based on the premise of associating a picture with words in order to create strong first impressions and retain spatial relationships in memory. These maps are highly pictorial in nature and represent the cultural and regional influences in the choice of pictorial images drawn. This paper discusses the political influences that were the impetus for developing Galbraith’s maps, the cultural and regional contexts inherent in the maps, and the effectiveness of the maps as mnemonic devices for their intended use.

Full textAbstract:
In the past couple of decades, a wide range of managerial reforms have been witnessed in many OECD countries. These reforms may have significantly affected the identity of top civil servants. This change in identity may, in turn, have an impact on the performance of top officials, their roles, their views, their relations with political personnel and their expected competencies. Within a sample of countries (Belgium, Canada, Denmark, and the Netherlands) we explore these reforms, the changes that have occurred in top officials’ identity (personal, role and social) with document analysis and a series of interviews. We conclude that in all cases, regardless of the goals or the intensity of the reforms, there is now more individualization, more mobility, fixed-term contracts and more accountability. We did not find a full-blown managerial or any unambiguous evolution towards a pure managerial identity. Points for practitioners Managerial reforms certainly affect the relationships between politicians and top civil servants. Role perceptions of top civil servants are, depending on the context, more resistant to change than expected. Despite the omnipresent managerial discourse, the role of policy advisor remains very important. Corporate management designs tend to facilitate corporate identification, the type of employment relationship, contract and level of goals, thus affecting the social identity of top civil servants.

Performance measurement of a public organization has been an issue in recent years. The State Apparatus has become a pioneer in the success of development to achieve justice and welfare of society. . Negative issues regarding professionalism, especially in the quality and performance aspects of ASN, need to be responded positively by conducting an evaluation. The public generally views that the problem of ASN professionalism can be seen from the lack of integrity, low competence, slow performance, and many disciplinary violations. The Rembang Regency Regional Personnel Agency has carried out a performance appraisal with reference to the Rembang Regency Regional Personnel Agency Performance Agreement in 2019. The assessment provides an overview of the successes and failures in achieving the resulting goals and targets, then categorizing performance (positioning) according to the level of performance achievement. The results of the performance achievement show that the average performance achievement of the Rembang Regency Regional Personnel Agency in 2019 is 90.98%. Coordinate with the Central Government regarding the activities to be implemented so that they can meet the targets for implementing these activities.

The science and practice of sport psychology have experienced significant growth and development over the past 30 years. The purposes of this roundtable discussion were to engage sport psychology consultants’ views on gaining entry, especially as it relates to long-term work with athletic clients and to compare these views with Ravizza’s seminal work on gaining entry. Four consultants with extensive experience in sport psychology participated in a two-phase roundtable that was facilitated by a sport psychology professional. Topics explored and conclusions drawn provided further verification of Ravizza’s original insights about gaining entry (e.g., barriers to entry) and added new insights to account for rapid social and generational changes (e.g., role of gender, preferences of modern athletes, importance of interactive observation). The use of technology and adding teleconsulting to service delivery warrant careful approach and future examinations. Lifelong professional development is critical in optimizing gaining entry especially, given the rapid changes in both client demographics and sport and performance psychology knowledge.

AbstractThis study explores the potential of Internet-based technology to change the nature of work in the civil service sector in Papua New Guinea (PNG, specifically to contribute towards Organisational Development (OD). Immediately following and one year after an awareness-raising civil service conference on computer-mediated communication and its potential to help develop the workplace, 23 PNG public sector employees who had attended the conference responded to a range of closed and open-ended attitude questions regarding Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). On balance, they reported that in their experience, ICT following the conference had been relatively empowering, had enhanced organisational communication and accountability, and had helped to improve the flow of knowledge within and between public sector groups. In PNG, digital technology might help to facilitate the development of intra- and inter-organisational unit teamwork. To that extent, digital technology in the longer-term may assist not only in OD, but also in the development of capacity more generally.

The article examines the historical aspects of the professional training of civil servants in Russia. It is shown that the effectiveness of the functioning of the civil service institution largely depends on the quality of vocational training of civil servants. The historiography of vocational training of civil servants in Russia from the 9th to the 19th century is given. The study used the narrative and systemic methods. The article dwells upon the educational institutions that trained civil servants, the studied academic disciplines, and the examinations that students and graduates had to pass. It is noted that the application and reinterpretation of the pedagogical practices of the past, taking into account modern developments, can be instrumental in building an educational system for professional training of civil servants.

Full textAbstract:
Bus rapid transit (BRT) is growing rapidly in popularity because it is viewed widely as an efficient and effective means to improve both transit service and patronage. This paper argues that two distinct views of BRT are emerging: ( a) BRT as a new form of high-speed, rubber-tired, rail-like rapid transit and ( b) BRT as a cost-effective way to upgrade both the quality and image of traditional fixed-route bus service. These two views carry different price tags because the cost of planning, constructing, and operating BRT depends on the complexity of new service features and on rises for BRT that offer service characteristics approaching those of light rail. This study fills a gap in the literature on the costs of BRT by examining in detail component costs–-actual costs for recently implemented services and projected costs for planned new services–-for a sample of BRT systems in North American cities. The study examined BRT costs of 14 planned and recently opened BRT systems to determine how the wide range of BRT service and technology configurations affect costs. The study found that although some of the most successful and popular new BRT systems are high-quality services operating in mixed traffic and implemented at relatively low cost, most BRT projects on the drawing boards are more elaborate, more expensive systems than many currently in service. Most new BRT projects emphasize elaborate LRT-type improvements to lines and stations in one or a few corridors rather than less splashy improvements (such as next-bus monitors, signal preemption, queue-jump lanes, and so forth) affecting more lines and modes in local transit networks. Among the 14 systems examined here, most could be characterized as light rail lite.

Despite various attempts at reforming the civil services the common perception seems to be that the system essentially remains similar to that inherited from the colonial past. Worse still, little is known about the perceptions of civil servants on various issues in civil service reforms. Against this backdrop, the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics conducted a perception survey of civil servants seeking their views on recruitment, training, performance evaluation, job satisfaction, and relationship with the private sector. This preliminary report highlights the key findings of the survey. Section 2 sets out the survey methodology. Sections 3 to 7 respectively highlight the survey findings with respect to recruitment, postings and training, performance evaluation, job satisfaction, bureaucracy, private sector, and institutions and reforms.

Abstract This study offers a reading of the early nineteenth-century Chinese novel Jinghua yuan 鏡花緣 (Flowers in the Mirror) by Li Ruzhen 李汝珍 (1763–1830?) as a fiction about fiction making. Contextualizing the novel in a society where the civil service examinations are among the most important cultural institutions, this article considers the protagonist Tang Ao's 唐敖 voyage to bizarre, fantastical islands, narrated in the early chapters of the novel, as an account of his conversion from examination scholarship to fiction creation. From these islands, his symbolic realm of fictionality, he sends flower spirits-turned-girls to China for the female examinations, here interpreted as an enterprise to fictionalize the examination system. Thus the narrative of the girls' participation in the exams and ensuing celebrations in later chapters becomes a fiction within the fiction. Discussing the dynamic between the examinations and fiction writing elevated in the metafictional structure of the novel, this study considers Tang Ao a fictional representative of many scholars in late imperial China, whose experience with the examinations was not merely a cause of intense frustration but also an inexhaustible source of literary inspiration.

Full textAbstract:
According to its designers, the U.S. merit system centered on a “pivotal idea”: The civil service would use “open, fair, honest, impartial, competitive examination” to find the people “best fitted to discharge the duties of the position.” Officials would announce job openings to the widest-possible applicant pool and assess that pool on uniformly applied, job-relevant criteria. Over time, however, alternative hiring mechanisms have increased in popularity as means to improve the speed or flexibility the hiring process, with limited research on their impact on the federal service. To understand their effects, we examine all federal, nondefense employees hired between 1983 and 2013 to assess whether four alternative hiring procedures affect the educational attainment (a proxy for qualifications) and career advancement (a proxy for quality) of new hires. We find that employees hired through competitive examinations possess more education upon entry than employees selected through two of those alternative procedures; however, employees hired through all four alternative procedures advance in their careers at least as rapidly as those selected via competitive examinations.

From the beginning, public tests and examinations were instruments of policy. The Imperial Chinese examination was created to permit the emperor to replace the patronage system by which powerful lords were choosing their own candidates to be mandarins. The Jesuit schools in 17th-century France introduced a weekly testing system to allow central control of classroom teaching. In 19th-century England, Thomas Macaulay argued for employing the Chinese principle in selecting cadets for the Indian Civil Service; a similar system was later used for the British Civil Service. A primary school examination system was set up in England at the end of the 19th century to serve the same purpose of achieving quality control and accountability in public schools as was proposed for the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) that is being bitterly disputed in 21st-century United States. Chauncey's primary goal after World War II in developing the Scholastic Achievement Test for admission to elite U.S. universities was to replace the children of the wealthy establishment with highly qualified students who would see their role as contributing to public service.

The article discusses the features of energy service contracts as one of the types of state-business interaction in the form of a public-private partnership. The purpose of the article is to analyze the main problems accompanying the implementation of energy service contracts on the basis of a case analysis and to develop recommendations for those who are at the stage of concluding such agreements. The following causes of problems between the parties to the energy service contracts are highlighted: methodological, organizational and financial. The following recommendations are developed based on the experience of participation in forensic examinations: 1) careful study of the methodology for calculating savings using energy audit; 2) the method of calculating the economic effect should be an integral part of the energy service contract; 3) careful management of documents in order to be able to begin to resolve the conflict in the pretrial order according to the Civil Code; 4) the contractor must make sure that there are economic benefits based on detailed calculations of indicators such as payback period, net present value of the project, internal rate of return, which it is mandatory to compare with the cost of financial resources used in the project.

Full textAbstract:
The Right to Education Act, 2009 that came into existence after a decade-long struggle by civil society organisations, mandates that no children shall be detained till they complete their elementary education, that is, Class 8. However, an amendment to the Act, The Second Amendment Bill, 2017, on the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education, 2009, amends this provision by stating that regular examinations should be held in Class 5 and Class 8. If the child fails in the examination, s/he will be given additional instructions to take a re-examination within two months and if the child again fails, then the state government will have the discretion to detain the child in the same class. There are differing views on whether children should be detained for failing examinations in elementary school. Some argue that an automatic promotion reduces incentives for children to learn and for teachers to teach. Others point out that detention demotivates children and results in increased dropouts and shifts the focus away from the systemic factors that affect learning such as the availability of trained qualified teachers, adequate infrastructure, textbooks, safety and security in schools.

Purpose Prompted by the enlarging skills gap between the university graduate and the desired employee in Mauritius, the Charles Telfair Institute embarked its students on the #NuKapav project for an authentic work integrated learning (WIL) experience which endeavours to fight for the societal inclusion of Persons with Disabilities. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of this service-learning project on the students from professional, civic engagement and social justice perspectives. Design/methodology/approach This research used a focus group methodology, allowing the 23 students who participated on the #NuKapav project to share their experiences. Findings This paper recommends that universities in Mauritius and other regional countries consider incorporating service-learning into their WIL programmes to reinforce graduate employability skills and encourage good citizenship through lasting allegiance to community causes. Research limitations/implications The higher education system in Mauritius operates within a broader context facing constant mutations influenced by socio-economic and political factors. As such, research on service-learning cannot be conducted in isolation but should instead include the perspective of various stakeholders on both the demand and supply side of community learning projects. The main limitation of this research relates to its focus on capturing student participants’ perspective alone. Further research is, therefore, recommended to examine how other stakeholders, including employees, employers and community service project supervisors, value service-learning for a more comprehensive view. Originality/value The main contribution of this paper is the examination of how service-learning can help equip graduates with crucial career skills, while bringing an enduring mind-set shift in the future workforce for sustained commitment to social change and inclusion.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractOne of the attributes of the Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) was his prodigious memory. The humanistic education received at the Roman College enabled him to master the classical art of memory. In China, Ricci discovered that memorization was essential to the learning process required for the civil service examinations to hold posts within the empire, and so he composed the Xiguo Jifa (1596) (Occidental Method of Memory), based on one of the commonest mnemonic systems—the architectural type—to help candidates memorize contents for these examinations. Ricci chose Chinese characters as mnemonic images to be placed in mental structures. This article aims to show how Ricci’s choice of Chinese characters as mnemonic images in China deviated from one of the main functions of an art of memory: to mediate between words and images, creating bridges and modes of translation from one another, thus rendering those images “untranslatable.”

Full textAbstract:
In the last two decades, critical representations of the Indian education system have gained prominence in Hindi-language popular media. Centring on concerns about both pedagogy and inequality, these media texts have recently begun to incorporate fictionalized depictions of schooling beyond school – the vast ‘shadow education’ system that prepares students for school tests and competitive examinations in engineering, medical, civil service and other primarily technical and professional fields. This article explores the political significance of ambivalences that inhere within and between representations of the coaching industry. These ambivalences produce a narrative of enclosure in which upper-caste middle classes endure persecution while simultaneously engaging in forms of disciplinary self-fashioning in service to the nation. These ‘structures of feeling’ resonate with social theories of the camp, reconsidered from the Indian context.

Abstract A developing public commentary views China as exerting influence in international organizations to legitimize and disseminate PRC foreign policy values and interests. This article examines an understudied source identified by PRC elites to promote influence in the United Nations system: dispatching PRC nationals as international civil servants, specifically in a targeted pursuit of executive leadership positions. Using decades of UN staffing data, we find that apart from Russia, China holds the fewest executive leadership posts among the aspiring and permanent members of the UN Security Council. Moreover, China is yet to lead an agency addressing international security matters. US and European staff contributions are significantly higher at all staffing levels of the international civil service. Still, the data shows that China made modest, targeted gains in most specialized UN agencies, and agencies headed by PRC nationals show faster increases in PRC staff members, though all base numbers were low. We draw from Chinese-language sources to discuss issues facing China in increasing its international civil service numbers, affecting the country's ability to shape global governance.

AbstractThis essay analyzes one set of male bonds—the relationships between three men in the Yuan-Ming transition—to understand the range of meanings assigned to the practice of friendship in the fourteenth century. Through the exchange of writings, the three men constructed a friendship based on shared cultural ideas that was more valuable to them than the ethnic, regional, and political differences between them. At a time when the violence and disruptions associated with the Yuan-Ming transition and the lack of access to examinations and the civil service created a crisis in masculinity, these friendships allowed them to create a space where masculine values could be shared and expressed.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines two interrelated issues: the role of police as an institution of Russian society and their role during the past 25 years. This research is based on a series of indepth interviews conducted by the author in 2014–2016 with former and current police officers in three Russian cities. The paper traces changes in the perceived institutional roles of the Russian police by comparing police officers’ views during three periods: early through mid-1990s, late-1990s through mid-2000s, and mid-2000s through 2010s. The study reports that, during the early period, Russian police were disfranchised from the state and this abandonment was a source of institutional identity crisis for law enforcement officers who remained on the job. This process was coupled with high levels of job dissatisfaction and the overall feeling of “abandonment” of police by the state.At the same time, it was during this post-Soviet period, when ideas of policing as a service to the society were introduced and sometimes entertained among the professional circles of police officers and other government officials. Furthermore, this period was marked by continuous, though often sporadic, institutional reforms and anti-corruption measures.In the second period, the Russian police were slowly engaging back into the state-building process, which caused increased job satisfaction and better retention rates. At the same time, the second period signified a decline of the “police as service” ideology and the comeback of paternalistic views on policing. During this time, the government’s efforts to reform police and anti-corruption measures became systemic and better organized. Also, in the second period, members of the civil society became more active in demanding public accountability and transparency from the Russian police.Finally, the modern period of police development presents a case in which the institutional identity of the Russian police has been clearly connected to the state’s capacity. This process is coupled with increased paternalistic views among police officers and a failure of “police as a service” doctrine. In such an environment, the efforts by a maturing civil society to demand public transparency and accountability of the police are often met with hostility and anger. The paper concludes that further development of the Russian police depends on the role that they will play within the modern Russian state.

East Asia has one of the most successful economies in the world today, so public administration as a practice as well as a discipline has arguably played a pivotal role in such a developmental process. However, there are not many readable references on such issues. Accordingly, this article will first discuss the issue of East Asian development models, after which it will discuss the civil service entrance examinations as an East Asian model of bureaucratic recruitment. This article will then discuss the development of modern public administration in three dimensions (i.e., practice, education, and research), after which it will discuss major issues and challenges of public administration in China, Japan, and South Korea.

Full textAbstract:
This research explored correlations between the social responsibility attitudes of engineering students and their participation in service-learning and/or extracurricular engineering service activities, such as Engineers Without Borders (EWB). Social responsibility attitudes were measured using a survey with fifty Likert items. The survey also collected information about students’ participation frequency in service-learning courses, EWB, and service trips. Survey responses were received from students at five institutions who were primarily in their first or senior year and majoring in civil, environmental, or mechanical engineering. Findings showed that incoming first-year students with higher frequency of service-learning participation during high school had higher average social responsibility. College service-learning courses had a beneficial impact on social responsibility attitudes. In open-ended responses, a number of students directly cited service-learning courses as impacting their views of social responsibility. Students who participated in EWB had more positive social responsibility attitudes than students who did not participate in EWB. This is due, primarily, to students with high social responsibility opting into activities like EWB. Future research is needed to determine the specific aspects of the service-learning experiences that foster positive attitudes toward social responsibility in engineering students, such as types of structured reflection and reciprocal partnerships with the community.

(1) Background: UK Armed Forces personnel provide first response, support and protection during national and international disasters and conflicts. They thus have a psychologically challenging role which requires them to maintain a good state of mental health and wellbeing. HeadFIT is a preventative initiative developed to help foster mental fitness through various self-help tools and resources online including techniques to de-stress and increase drive. This paper reports on an independent service evaluation of HeadFIT to examine feasibility and acceptability among Ministry of Defence (MOD) personnel. (2) Methods: Qualitative interviews were held with the HeadFIT beneficiaries, including military personnel and civil servants. The beneficiaries provided feedback on HeadFIT through questionnaires and interviews, and website traffic data were also collected. Qualitative data were analysed using framework analysis. (3) Results: Beneficiaries generally reported positive views on the HeadFIT initiative, with most agreeing that the tools could support them to foster their mental fitness. However, concerns were raised around the uptake of HeadFIT and participants suggested methods to improve usability. (4) Conclusions: Several recommendations were made to improve the resources, usability, uptake, and implementation and communication of HeadFIT.

Full textAbstract:
As the primary means through which academic success was measured and professional credentials were established, competitive examinations for university degrees and civil service appointments became a frequently discussed topic among the Victorian and Edwardian elite in Great Britain. Students and dons (the term for college fellows with teaching and pastoral responsibilities) at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, as well as a whole range of outside observers, regularly commented on the importance of these exercises during the seven decades that passed between the curricular and administrative reforms of the 1850s and the conclusion of World War I, years in which these ancient institutions achieved their modern form and functioned, in the words of Jan Morris, as “power house [s]” and “conscious instruments of Victorian national greatness.” In an 1863Student's Guide to the University of Cambridge, for example, J.R. Seeley, a famous Cambridge don and historian, celebrated the invigorating, youthful, and competitive nature of the Tripos (or Honors) examinations in a lengthy discussion of academic life: “Into these [examinations] flock annually the ablest young men … who during their University course have received all the instruction that the best Tutors, and all the stimulus that a competition well known to be severe, can give…. The contest is one into which the cleverest lads in the country enter [and] it may safely be affirmed that even the lowest place in these Triposes is justly called anhonour.” By the 1860s, when Seeley first penned these comments, competitive examinations had become, in the words of one contemporary observer, “matters of … much interest and importance not only to those whose future success in life depended upon them, but to the public in general.” Public interest was further fueled, throughout this period, by numerous articles in the periodical press that discussed and debated the general value of competitive examinations and by the regular publication of test results in widely circulated, national newspapers such as theTimes.

The reform of the judicial system in Ukraine is accompanied by the criminalization of society and the rapid growth of offenses in the economic sphere. At the same time, the implementation of the principle of inevitability of punishment involves the maximum use in court proceedings of the results of forensic economists and necessitates the appointment and conduct of forensic economic examination during the pre-trial investigation or trial of economic crimes. Based on the generalization of the interpretation of the category "forensic economic expertise» by various authors, forensic economic expertise is proposed to understand procedural research, which is carried out through the application of special scientific and practical knowledge of forensic economist and allows to solve economic issues. investigation or court in order to resolve criminal, civil-administrative, arbitration or economic disputes. The concepts of classification systems of forensic economic examination considered by scientists, forensic experts, practitioners and legislators do not take into account all the specifics of the examination, and therefore, presuppose the existence of certain problems that need to be solved. Therefore, the authors propose the division of the class of forensic economic examinations by genera and species, which will specify the tasks and limits of competence of each genus and type of such examinations, objects of forensic research and criteria for developing appropriate methods. Comparative analysis of scholars' views on the list and classification of methods of forensic economic examination that can be used in the work of forensic economist, allowed to present the most appropriate and effective, namely: philosophical, general, partial and specific methods that are closely related communication.

The study deals with determining financial rules which permit contemporary civil service to function, the subject itself going in line with the title of the conference devoted to the contemporary multiform character of public administration. The aim of the study is to point to the title aspect of the functioning of civil service and the chosen subject is interesting and relevant, since the financial aspect of the functioning of public administration conditions the activity of its organs within the public sphere. The amount of financial means provided from the state budget or from those of local governments is the factual determinant of the execution of public tasks by organs of public authority which are appointed for this purpose. The author has undertaken to discuss only some chosen issues concerning financial aspects of the functioning of these organs (run by the government or local governments) because their considerable number exceeds the scope of the study. Moreover, the aim is to merely inspire and to found a platform for polemics in this respect. Obviously, it was possible to conduct the study primarily on the basis of effective laws and regulations, views of doctrine and the established judicature in this respect.

This essay explores the ritual dimension of the formation of Confucian orthodoxy in China from around the fifteenth to the early seventeenth centuries. Recent scholarship on orthodoxy has shown how the civil service examination system bound together hundreds of thousands of educated men with the court in pedagogical practices that effectively regulated what constituted acceptable knowledge of the classics used to legitimate the imperial regime and its policies. Without questioning the central importance of the examinations in the propagation of orthodoxy, in this essay I expand the scope of this problem to consider the role of ritual in reproducing orthodoxy by focusing on the uneasy convergence of the state cult of Kongzi—known in the West as Confucius—with the family cult of his flesh-and-blood descendants.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzed the approaches to the concept of «meritocracy». The article determined that the meritocratic principle in the selection of management personnel is revealed in the early selection of talented individuals who have managerial abilities, charisma, high level of intelligence, communication abilities, and are honest, responsible, unbiased with their own personal core. The author noted that the principle of meritocracy in the formation of a management elite is manifested in equal access to the system of public administration of all professionally trained persons with a high level of moral qualities that have been appropriately selected and have experience in management activities. The article analyzed the experience of forming a managerial staff in Singapore. The success of the Singaporean model of public administration is based on meritocratic principles, a strict bureaucratic hierarchy and administrative impartiality, and is based on four major strategies: Singapore’s comprehensive civil service reform; strong and effective anti-corruption measures; decentralization of the Civil Service Commission; payment of competitive wages to attract and retain the best personnel. The author identified the main stages of selection of management personnel in accordance with Ukrainian legislation. In our opinion, the meritocratic principle should be central to the formation of the national managerial elite through the prevailing system of qualifying tests, examinations on the basis of objective, impartial and comprehensive evaluation.

The article presents the comparative analysis of certain aspects of the socio-political views of Oswald Spengler and Mikhail Menshikov. The author reveals certain similarity of the processes of their personal formation, which could also affect the conformity of their views on a number of issues of the cultural development of the state and nation, perceived syncretically. The comparison of Menshikov’s ideas in the period of his work in “The Nedelya” journal with the views of Spengler expressed in his fundamental work “The Decline of Europe” has already been carried out by Russian researchers, albeit to a limited extent. Therefore, the author of the research uses as sources for his studies primarily the articles by Menshikov published in the late period of his journalistic activity at “Novoye Vremya” newspaper, and Spengler’s book “Years of Decisions”, which is also one of his last significant works. The author considers both thinkers to be apologists for the priority of state interests, without which, according to them, the preservation of the nation won’t be possible. The political views of Spengler and Menshikov are characterized by the article author as conservative state nationalism, manifested in such ideas as: the preservation of “healthy” folk traditions, aristocracy as civil service, subordination of personal interests to the state. On the basis of the comparison of Menshikov’s and Spengker’s ideas the author comes to the conclusion about the similarity of the problems faced by Russia and Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
One of the main factors for ensuring effective and honest work of civil servants is the formation of proper motivation and remuneration for the performance of tasks. Officials, along with other employees, strive public recognition of the results of their work. Encouragement of civil servants promotes the development of initiative, responsibility, confidence in their actions, a conscious attitude to work, mobilization to overcome difficulties and increase their credibility. Measures of material and moral support of civil servants help to realize the correct understanding of their labor obovyazkiv, helps to increase labor activity and improve the performance of the state body. The article analyzes the views of scholars on the interpretation of such a legal category as "encouragement". The provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On Civil Service" and bylaws regulating the grounds, types and procedure for applying incentives to civil servants are analyzed. It is established that the following types of incentives can be applied to civil servants: 1) announcement of gratitude; 2) awarding a diploma, a diploma, other departmental awards of a state body; 3) early assignment of the rank of civil servant; 4) presentation for awarding by government honors and awarding with a government award (congratulatory letter, thanks, diploma); 5) submission for state awards. The author proposes to expand the existing list of types of incentives for civil servants with such incentives as rewarding with a valuable gift and paying a bonus. The article also draws attention to the imperfections of the legal regulation of the procedure for applying certain types of incentives in the civil service. The author's definition of the term "encouragement of a civil servant" is proposed. It is concluded that the incentives for civil servants play an important role in enhancing their professional activities and are aimed at forming in them a conscientious attitude to work. However, some issues in this area still need significant refinement at the legislative level.

A particular attention has been paid to his public activities. He was an active founder and member of the socio-political organizations signi ficantly contributing into a development of the national movement. With the beginning of the Ukrainian Revolution, S. Shelukhyn as a delegate, a leading member of the Ukrainian Party of the Socialists-Federalists to the Ukrainian parliament, the Ukrainian Central Council (Rada), was particularly engaged in social and political work. After the proclamation of the UNR, holding high-ranking state posts, he opposed the federation with Russia. The positive aspects of his political life are establishment and activities of the public organi zations, scientific institutions, teaching at the Ukrainian high schools, a fruitful collaboration with the press. The S. Shelukhyn’s scholarly heritage is represented here. Specifically, the studies in history and origin of the Rus-Ukraine, history of the Ukrainian law (in particular, in the field of the criminal and civil law), political sciences and so on, are presented here. The article distinguishes a particularly active scholar ship of S. Shelukhyn in the émigré period. One of the biggest achieve ments of this historian and scholar is the making of argumentation basis for legitimization of the right of the Ukrainian people at restoration and building of the independent state. His beloved interest to literature and creative talent fostered poetry printing on the pages of many press publi cations, mainly of the citizen and patriotic motifs as well as translations of the belles lettres. His publicistic texts were a continuation of his social and political work.

Full textAbstract:
Selection mechanisms that could identify the best candidates for the civil service are the first step towards the effective and efficient public administration. The competitive examinations, specific competitions for senior servants and selection available on the labour market are the forms of meritocracy, so the question is not to abolish or sustain them, but to know which of them the most expresses talent, effort, and achievement. And this knowledge is the aim of this paper. Merit seems intuitively the best option for the selection of the best public sector employees, but it is questionable which form of selection is the best. Having this in mind, this paper based on the recruiting processes of the first twenty ranked countries based on the rule of law, GINI index, corruption perception and public integrity indexes shows the competition on the labour market system of recruitment of public servants as the most effective; then follows the competitive examination system for senior public servants and as the last (and contra intuitively) the competitive examination system. Based on the country's low Gini index, results also show it is more likely that the competition on the labour market recruitment system is used.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of a customer engagement-enabling platform on a value captured by the firm and value acquired by the customer. It explores the relevance of relational and expertise value for customers during the engagement process so as to ensure positive referrals about the service provider. Design/methodology/approach Using a sample of 482 students, the study examines the customer engagement efforts of professional institutes that provide training to prepare for the civil service examinations of the Union Public Service Commission. The survey is confined to central areas of New Delhi, India. Statistical techniques including confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling are used to analyse the data, and reliability and validity tests are performed. Findings The findings reveal the indispensable role of service providers as creators of a meaningful effective learning process and of interpersonal relations with customers for generating more business through customer referrals. Research limitations/implications The study validated the moderating role of relational value between customers’ expertise value and their referrals on the basis of motivation theory, which asserts that customers’ motivation to contribute to the organisation is driven by the individuals’ extrinsic relational need for belongingness, acceptance by like-minded individuals, and feedback, recognition and respect from employees of the organisation. Originality/value The study contributes to the existing literature by integrating the well-developed social exchange and motivation theory so as to investigate the factors that propel customers’ positive word of mouth for the service provider.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has brought new uncertainties to state–society relations in urban China. Arguably, China’s containment of the pandemic can largely be attributed to the state’s effective, but controversial, governance of society. At the grassroots level of Chinese cities, local state shequ (‘communities’ centred on the Residents’ Committees) have played a vital role in terms of both surveillance and service provision. However, rather than establishing an intimate relationship with civil society as the state intended, the latter’s handling of the pandemic resulted in contested views on the extent to which the state should intervene in society. This article engages with the ongoing debate on state–society relations, and argues that in urban China we are now seeing the advance of the state.
