Representación antidemocrática en México 2004 –2021 De destituida a líder del Movimiento de comuneros organizados de los nueve pueblos, Clementina Adela Romero Torres, auxiliar de Bienes Comunales en Villa Milpa Alta, Cdmx
Authors: Alarcón Romero Iztacxochitl Adela
Published: September 2022

El artículo que aquí se desarrolla contribuye al estudio de la democracia a través de la reconstrucción histórica del Movimiento de Comuneros Organizados de los nueve pueblos (Ciudad de México), en voz de su protagonista principal. Ofrece un panorama multidisciplinar que ayuda a buscar nuevas propuestas para mantener activa la importancia de la vida agraria de los pueblos y comunidades. Los sujetos que participan en esta defensa se convierten en sujetos sociopolíticos que además de defender, fortalecen y experimentan nuevos modos de gestión de lo común, basados en una serie de prácticas, mecanismos y métodos colectivos para garantizar la reproducción de la vida.
Asimismo, estas características permiten acercarnos a la importancia de los estudios de género, ya que la activa participación de las mujeres en esta oposición, históricamente han estado relacionadas con las economías de cuidado o de sustento en las que el papel de la mujer ha sido central, pero al mismo tiempo invisibiliza su participación en la vida pública, lo que provoca desequilibrios en la democracia de un país.

Published: September 2022

In this study, we prepared aluminum oxide/hydroxide on a cation exchange resin and applied it for removing Cadmium (Cd) in water. The characteristics of the synthesized materials were determined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The Cd removal tests were conducted in both batch and continuous adsorption experiments. The maximum treatment efficiency and adsorption capacity were determined to be 99.97% and 10 mg/g material, respectively, under the optimum conditions of 10 mgCd/L, 1 g/L of material, and pH 6.54 for 70 min at room temperature. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Freundlich isotherm model, respectively. The adsorption of Cd on the material was mainly due to physical adsorption and was an exothermic process. This study gives an alternative method for heavy metal removal from water using a new, inexpensive, and available absorbent.
Skills Development and Women Empowerment in Nigeria: An Imperative for Partnership and Economic Growth
Authors: Shalangwa Musa , Musa-Awosanmi Esther , Lungu Charles Tumba
Published: September 2022

Over the years there has been growing concern by governments, development partners and other stakeholders on the need to empower women to fight poverty and contribute meaningfully to the economic growth of their communities. In Nigeria, just as in other African countries, various policies have been established by government at national and state levels to facilitate the acquisition of skills by women to enable them become employable or in some cases, become entrepreneurs themselves. However, these policies do not seem to be making any appreciable impact as poverty, joblessness and other challenges that accompany such situations continue to spiral higher, especially among women. This paper seeks to evaluate the skills acquisition programmes in Nigeria and to understand why, in spite of the huge resources committed to skills acquisition, not much seem to have been gained from it. The paper also explores the level of cooperation or partnerships that exist between the government and other stakeholders to see how improving such partnerships could be the nexus that is required to turn the situation around and lift women and their communities out of poverty unto a path of self-reliance, economic growth and development.

The findings indicated no significant difference in the general weighted average and the gratitude scores of the respondents when grouped according to sex. Using a Pearson r correlation, a weak positive correlation was found between the participants’ academic performance and their gratitude scores
The economic basis of democracy in Europe: structural economic change, inequality and the depoliticization of economic policymaking
Authors: Bergsen Pepijn , Downey Leah , Krahé Max , Kundnani Hans , Moschella Manuela , Slobodian Quinn
Published: September 2022

- To understand contemporary challenges to European democracy, it is crucial to look beyond the surface of politics and consider the deeper relationship between democracy and the economy. Instead of focusing exclusively on the rise of ‘populism’, it is necessary to acknowledge the multiplicity of threats to European democracy, in particular those arising from the structure of European economies and economic policymaking. - Understanding these weaknesses in the functioning of European democracies is crucial to an effective approach to future economic transformations, in particular the green transition, but also for dealing effectively and equitably with challenges such as higher inflation. It is important that the relevant policy changes and responses are democratically legitimate and do not foster the kind of political backlash that previous economic transformations did. - Over the past 40 years, economic inequality – ranging from income inequality to discrepancies in wealth and economic security – has widened throughout developed economies. In turn, these developments have generated increasing political inequality, as economic policymaking has served the interests of the well-off. - Democratic systems have also been made less responsive to electorates through the ‘depoliticization’ of policymaking, in particular economic policy, as a result of its insulation from national-level democratic scrutiny. The expansion of technocratic modes of governance – notably through independent central banks and EU-level institutions – has in many cases entrenched the policy preferences of specific groups in institutions removed from direct democratic control. - As this depoliticization has to a large extent made democratic contestation over economic policy redundant, politics has increasingly been polarized around ‘cultural’ questions. But such a focus on culture is unlikely to address the inequalities behind the dysfunction of democracies in Europe. - Strengthening European democracy requires a ‘repoliticization’ of economic policymaking, including both fiscal and monetary policymaking. In the specific context of the EU, this would mean opening up more policy space for national decision-makers and parliaments – in particular by giving them a more influential role in fiscal policy, and by making monetary policy more democratic.
Libros de caballerías en el Quijote. Lectura y lectores: ¿el texto espejo?
Authors: Parrilla Carmen
Published: September 2022

Este artículo reflexiona sobre la crítica y parodia que realiza el Quijote sobre libros de caballerías. Ahonda más en el contexto histórico anterior y posterior de los libros de caballerías, narrando su desarrollo en Europa principalmente, y apuntando que la mayoría poseen una estructura similar y pretenden conseguir el mismo objetivo: entretener al lector, además de enseñarle valores. Se mencionan y comparan varias obras, como Amadís de Gaula, nuestro propio Cid, El cantar de Roldán… En este ensayo, la relación del lector con la lectura o el libro es muy relevante, ya que es la base de la crítica de Cervantes y la razón por la que su protagonista “se vuelve loco”.
Sobre el cuestionamiento de la oralidad y la escritura en el Quijote: Cide Hamete y el supernarrador
Authors: Parr James
Published: September 2022

El Quijote es una obra que se caracteriza por sus mensajes ocultos, ambigüedades, juegos mentales e ironía sutil e intrincada. Por ello, este ensayo se centra en los diversos narradores y supuestos autores que aparecen en las dos partes de la novela. La propuesta de James Parr es la del supernarrador, que es una voz editorial diferente a Cide Hamete, que es solo el que ha encontrado el manuscrito de la historia de don Quijote. A veces los autores o narradores se confunden y es difícil distinguirlos sino por algunos detalles de expresión. Además, respecto a la fuente original de la historia, Cervantes juega con la posibilidad de que sea de origen oral, a la manera de las narraciones de juglares que, más tarde, se escriben para conservarse. Más allá, se tratan los temas de la ironía y de los juegos de analepsis, prolepsis y metalepsis a través de la desnarración, probando que Cervantes combina lo innarrado con lo innarrable para crear comicidad en algunos comentarios. Debido a la numerosidad de autores y narradores, que se conectan con la trama y los personajes, se presentan dicotomías, como la de la buena y mala lectura y escritura.

Discussion structure: Does it influence student participation and learning through online interactions with block mode students?
Authors: Ibrahim Fazeela
Published: September 2022

Interaction in online learning is becoming quite common in higher education. Online communication tools are thought to promote student-centred learning and encourage wider student participation as well as provide an important learning opportunity for students. This paper presents a study based on a survey of seventeen students regarding perceptions on the usefulness of online communication, analysed through an interactive discussion structure with selected synchronous and asynchronous communication tools. The article considers student feedback on the new interactive discussion structure provided to them and compares the level of participation between the old structure and the new structure. The results show that there was a significant increase in the level of participation in the new structure. However, it also indicates that simply providing an interactive discussion structure does not mean that it will be used effectively. Several other factors were related to actual participation and perceived usefulness of the structure.
Teaching Methodology: One of the Factors Affecting Academic Achievement of Secondary Grade Students
Authors: Nihaadh Mariyam
Published: September 2022

Numerous factors affect the academic achievement of students as they undergo the transition of proceeding to secondary grades. This article discusses the findings related to factors affecting the academic achievement of secondary grade students from the students’ perspective. A qualitative study was conducted at a secondary school with a sample of students who had experienced a decline in their performance in secondary grades. Respondents were queried with regard to various factors relating to their academic achievement. Issues relating to student motivation were highlighted as the most prominent factors affecting their academic achievement. The findings revealed that students’ lack of motivation was the consequence of unvaried and ineffective methodologies adopted by most teachers in delivering the lessons.

Challenges in Regulating Quality Assurance in Higher Education in Small States:A Case Study of the Maldives
Authors: Waheed Abdul Hannan
Published: September 2022

This paper presents findings of a case study of the regulatory framework of quality assurance (QA) in higher education in the Maldives. For this study, a systems approach was adopted to capture a holistic perspective of the various key elements and their relationships to each other to investigate the effectiveness of the regulatory framework in the quality assurance system. The data collection consisted of document analysis and interviews with four key stakeholder groups. Some of the unique challenges in developing and establishing a fully-functioning regulatory mechanism of quality assurance for higher education in the Maldives include lack of independence of the system from the Ministry of Education and influence of other key stakeholders on the decision making process of the quality assurance system. Absence of a legal mandate to ensure that outcomes of regulatory processes are accepted by the government, the public and the higher education system is unique to the Maldives where the quality assurance system has been in operation since 2010, while it holds no legal status or independence. Whilst the case study is situated in the Maldives, it provides a useful reference for policy makers, practitioners and professionals in other small states.
Under-preparedness of Teachers to Teach Life Skills Education in the National Curriculum
Authors: Zahir Hidaya Mohamed
Published: September 2022

Modernisation and urbanisation has come at a cost to Maldivian children, making them more vulnerable to social ills and psychological diseases. Life Skills Education (LSE) has been integrat-ed into the 2014 Maldives National Curriculum as a way to avert the emotional and psychologi-cal crises of children growing up in a rapidly changing society. Rather than questioning how this new initiative is introduced within the curriculum and the possible outcomes of the initiative, this paper aims to explore how knowledgeable and prepared the teachers believe they are to teach Life Skills to children. A cross sectional survey was completed by 186 teachers of two schools of Male’, Maldives. Life Skills Education has been taught in some form in both schools since 2004. Four factors linked to teacher preparedness were analysed, namely: (1) teachers’ attitude to LSE; (2) teachers’ moti-vation to implement LSE; (3) teachers’ perceived professional mastery; and (4) participation in ongoing professional development, all of which have direct impact on successful implementa-tion of Life Skills Education. All four factors have strong correlation to successful implementa-tion of Life Skills Education. Only 13% of the teachers in this study indicated that they believed they had the capacity to deliver Life Skills Education in the curriculum fully. This study identified the urgent need for LSE to be incorporated into initial teacher training and for policy makers and school leaders to ensure that teachers have ongoing effective support to develop life skills of vulnerable children who live in challenging home environments.
Social Media Use and Impact during Maldivian Travellers’ Holiday Planning
Authors: Akram Ali , Shahid Ahmed
Published: September 2022

The objectives of this study were to explore how social media is used in travel planning by Maldivian tourists, and to discern the opportunities social media presents as a marketing medium to the Maldivian tourism industry, especially in the budget hotel and local tourism segment. The research findings showed that social media postings by friends were considered a very important source of information compared to traditional sources of advertising. Online ratings and reviews of hotels also influenced their decisions significantly. Additionally, respondents preferred content posted by consumers rather than by hoteliers. Therefore, social media remains a critical element for tourism marketing to a Maldivian audience, demonstrating the importance for hoteliers and marketers to use this medium to gauge their customers’ reactions to the services offered; to modify the services to meet the expectations of their customers; and also to reach a wider customer base cheaply and efficiently. As Maldivian social media users frequently post, and are willing to post photos/videos of their holiday experiences on multiple social networking websites, it gives opportunities for marketers to involve users and influencers to promote visual content on social networking sites. Maldivian travellers rely very little on information provided by hotels in their travel decision making. Hence, further investigation is required on how to improve the trustworthiness and credibility of information provided by budget hotels as well as how this information can be accurately corroborated by users.
Sea level rise, statehood and artificial islands for environmentally displaced persons under international law: Future of the Maldives
Authors: Abdulla Ahmed Adham
Published: September 2022

The Republic of Maldives is a small, South Asian archipelagic State consisting of low-lying is-lands, hence, climate change and sea level rise are not just mere words for us, the Maldivian people; they are a grim reality that is consuming our nation. The loss of a nation does not only mean the loss of home, substantial livelihood, natural wealth, and cultural identity; it also means the erosion of sovereignty and statehood at the international level. The analysis of applicable international laws and state practice indicates that the Maldives will not lose its statehood due to the loss of its territory resulting from sea level rise. The pragmatic way forward to protect the legal personality of statehood for low-lying island states such as the Maldives is to declare islands above the mean sea level, in case of complete inundation of nat-urally formed land, as Artificial Islands for Environmentally Displaced Persons, and to declare maritime borders established under the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention as non-ambulatory.
Transition Experiences of Maldivian Students: Moving from GCSEs to Advanced Level Studies
Authors: Shareef Jannath
Published: September 2022

The aim of this narrative enquiry was to explore the transition experiences of Maldivian teenagers as they transition from GCSE to Advanced Level Studies. Ten recent alumni of a higher secondary school in Male’ were selected based on purposive sampling to represent a wide range of experiences and challenges. Data was collected in 2018, using one on one, face-to-face, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions with boys and girls separately. This paper chronicles their transition experiences in four inter-dependent domains (1) preparedness, (2) fitting in, making friends and belonging, (3) personal grit, and formal and informal support available to meet the higher demands of advanced level studies, and (4) intense pressures the students experienced due to the social structural forces and inequalities which underline their higher secondary education experience as they work toward competitive scholarships for higher studies. Poverty, living away from home communities, lack of effective communication between parents and children, and lack of supportive mentoring relationships between teachers and students negatively influenced the transition experience. Poverty, lack of time management and independent study skills were the most important factors in failure to succeed. The findings of this study have implications for policy level change to ensure higher secondary school students are provided the support required to succeed in their studies.
Gone with the wind? An ambitious wind energy project to power the Greater Malé region that never materialised
Authors: Shahid Ahmed , Shareef Ali
Published: September 2022

Maldives announced one of the most ambitious renewable energy projects so far, in 2009, with a plan to invest in a 200-million-dollar wind farm in Gaafaru lagoon (Burulu Falhu), north Malé Atoll, to be managed and operated by a US-based firm, Falcon Energy and its consortium partners. The project was designed to provide a 75-megawatts of wind-generated energy to the Greater Malé region and resorts in the area. The announcement of the project culminated in a lot of public hype and hope for reducing the country’s dependence on fossil fuel for energy generation and as a major step towards achieving a carbon-neutral economy. The technical feasibility, environmental impact assessments, and required funding possibilities were all pointing towards the project’s practicality. However, after the initial excitement of the project launching has subsided, the project slowly moved to doldrums and never saw the light of the day. At a later stage, there were rumours of project cost-estimation requiring a higher initial investment as planned, and news of a Chinese firm taking over the project from Falcon energy. Why did the project never materialise? What were the reasons behind the lack of enthusiasm to pursue this project and overcome the challenges? This case study provides a contextual background to the project, its potential environmental and economic benefits and the possible factors that contributed towards its failure to launch.

Today, which is characterized by economic growth, technological, environmental, and social change, it is hard to focus our business on goods and services that match social needs while being eco-friendly. There is no doubt that the urban environment provides numerous opportunities for relaxation and recreation; however, pollution (atmospheric and noise) in urban agglomerations produces states that are associated with a high mild discomfort. In this context, industrial parks seem to be solid business development alternatives. Thus, we conducted research in which we aimed to study the influence of the communication relationship between the industrial park management team (IP) on the line of perception of service quality. Concurrently, the research investigated the influence of communication with managerial staff at the company where the employee works on the employees perceptions of quality of services received in the IP.

TANGGUNG JAWAB PEMERINTAH DALAM PEMBERIAN SANKSI ADMINISTRASI TERHADAP PNS TERPIDANA KORUPSI PASCA PUTUSAN MAHKAMAH KONSTITUSI NOMOR 87/PUU-XVI/2018
Authors: Lestari Chadijah Rizki , Effendi Basri
Published: September 2022

Berdasarkan Pasal 87 Ayat (4) huruf b UU ASN dan Putusan MK Nomor 87/PUU-XVI/2018, PNS diberhentikan dengan tidak hormat karena dihukum penjara atau kurungan berdasarkan putusan pengadilan yang telah memiliki kekuatan hukum tetap karena melakukan tindak pidana kejahatan jabatan atau tindak pidana kejahatan yang ada hubungannya dengan jabatan. hal ini berimplikasi bahwa demi hukum pejabat yang berweang yakni Pejabat Pembina Kepegawaian berkewajiban mengeluarkan keputusan pemberhentian tidak dengan hormat atas PNS yang terbukti melakukan tindak pidana korupsi berdasarkan putusan inkracht. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka kajian ini untuk menelaah bagaimanakah tanggung jawab Pejabat Pembina Kepegawaian (PPK) dalam mengeluarkan putusan pemecatan tidak hormat atas PNS yang terlibat korupsi berdasarkan putusan pengadilan yang inkracht. Berdasarkan hasil kajian diketahui bahwa Pejabat Pembina Kepegawaian instansi tempat PNS berkedudukan mendapatkan delegasi dari Presiden untuk mengeluarkan keputusan pemberhentian tidak dengan hormat atas PNS yang melakukan tindak pidana korupsi. Keputusan ini dapat dikeluarkan sejak akhir bulan dikeluarkannya putusan pengadilan yang inkracht. Hal ini diperkuat dengan dikeluarkannya Surat Keputusan Bersama Menteri Dalam Negeri, Menteri Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara dan Reformasi dan Kepala Badan Kepegawaian Negara Nomor 182/6597/SJ, Nomor 15 Tahun 2018, dan Nomor 153/KEP/2018. Tehadap Pejabat Pembina kepegawaian yang dengan sengaja tidak mau mengeluarkan keputusan tersebut, dapat dikenakan sanksi administrasi berdasarkan Pasal 80, Pasal 81 dan Pasal 82 UU Nomor 30 Tahun 2014. Pada akhir tulisan penulis berkesimpulan pentingnya kepatuhan hukum ASN untuk melaksanakan tugasnya secara professional dan tanggung jawab, serta tidak melakukan perbuatan yang dilarang undang-undang (korupsi) agar tidak mendapatkan sanksi administrastif dari PPK dan berpeluang kehilangan statusnya sebagai ASN.

Negara Dalam Keadaan Darurat Menurut UUD 1945
Authors: Sahputra Mirza
Published: September 2022

Dalam Undang-Undang Dasar Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945 (UUD 1945), ketentuan mengenai keadaan darurat (state of emergency) diatur dalam dua pasal, yaitu Pasal 12 yang menyatakan “Presiden menyatakan keadaan bahaya. Syarat-syarat dan akibat keadaan bahaya ditetapkan dengan undang-undang” dan Pasal 22 Ayat (1) menyatakan, “Dalam hal ihwal kegentingan yang memaksa, Presiden berhak menetapkan peraturan pemerintah sebagai pengganti undang-undang”. Keduanya menunjuk kepada persoalan yang sama, yaitu keadaan yang dikecualikan dari keadaan yang bersifat normal. Tentu saja pengertian kedua pasal ini memiliki pengertian yang tidak sama walaupun kedua pasal tersebut sama-sama mengatur terhadap suatu kondisi yang tidak biasa atau diluar keadaan normal. Tujuan penulisan ini yaitu untuk memberi gambaran mengenai implementasi negara dalam keadaan darurat menurut UUD 1945, kriteria atau ukuran yang digunakan dalam menetapkan keadaan darurat di Indonesia.

Merebaknya wabah penyakit merupakan suatu bentuk bencana yang termasuk ke dalam kategori bencana nonalam. Kementerian Kesehatan juga telah merespon dengan mengeluarkan berbagai jenis petunjuk dan protokol baik dari bentuk pedoman, pencegahan maupun aturan teknis lainnya. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dan pendekatan yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan secara yuridis normatif yaitu melalui studi kepustakaan. Penelitian kualitatif yaitu penelitian yang menghasilkan data deskriptif berupa ucapan atau tulisan dan perilaku orang-orang yang diamati. Penelitian kualitatif bertujuan untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang sifatnya umum terhadap kenyataan sosial dari perspektif partisipan. Data yang diperoleh dalam penelitian ini adalah data sekunder dimana berasal dari sejumlah buku, artikel, jurnal, media massa maupun elektronik.

Metode penulisan menggunakan deskriptif normatif analitis dimana berusaha menggambarkan dan membahas secara komprehensif untuk mengetahui efektifitas hukum pasca ditetapkan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 21 tahun 2020 tentang Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar dalam Rangka Percepatan Penanganan Corona virus Disease 2019 (PP PSBB) di kalangan masyarakat dan pemerintah itu sendiri. Ditetapkannya PP PSBB menimbulkan konsekuensi hukum yang belum sepenuhnya terakomodir dari sisi payung hukum itu sendiri. Beberapa kondisi bahkan membutuhkan aturan-aturan yang lebih teknis agar regulasi utama yang menjadi dasar hukum dapat berjalan. Dengan demikian, dapat dikatakan bahwa sistem regulasi dan payung hukum dalam menangani keadaan yang tidak normal belum sepenuhnya berjalan optimal. Terdapat tuntutan dari pemerintah pusat kepada pemerintah daerah agar selalu bersinergi dalam menghadapi wabah covid19. Hal tersebut tercermin dari penekanan syarat dan kriteria tertentu dalam menetapkan suatu daerah untuk pemberlakuan PSBB.

Studi kualitatif ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis partisipasi masyarakat dalam implementasi kebijakan layanan ruang menyusui di Kota Banda Aceh, dengan menggunakan Model CLEAR. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) Belum seluruhnya kantor pemerintahan maupun ruang publik di Kota Banda Aceh telah menyediakan layanan ruang menyusui, dan sebagian kondisi ruangannya belum memenuhi standar peraturan menteri kesehatan; (2) Respon masyarakat terhadap kebijakan ruang menyusui sangat banyak manfaat yang dirasakan. Masyarakat berharap agar kebijakan tersebut tetap dilanjutkan dan tersedia di ruang publik lainnya; (3) Partisipasi masyarakat berdasarkan model CLEAR yaitu adanya sumber informasi dan pengetahuan berupa poster dan petunjuk arah ruang menyusui, serta masyarakat mendapatkan kemudahan dalam menggunakan ruang menyusui. Penelitian ini juga menemukan penyebab rendahnya partisipasi antara lain, faktor kebiasaan dari masyarakat yang masih menyusui bayi di tempat umum, dan fasilitas ruang menyusui yang belum memenuhi standar. Kemudian, belum ada sosialisasi khusus kepada masyarakat terhadap kebijakan ini. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan peningkatan sosialisasi terhadap kebijakan layanan ruang menyusui dengan mekanisme Komunikasi, Informasi, dan Edukasi (KIE), serta pemenuhan standarisasi ruang menyusui di Kota Banda Aceh.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pemungutan dan pengelolaan PBB-P2 yang dilakukan oleh Badan Pengelolaan Keuangan Kota (BPKK) Banda Aceh, dapat meningkatkan Pendapatan Asli Daerah (PAD) Kota Banda Aceh. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif yang bersifat deskriptif, berfokus pada pencarian fakta yang mendeskripsikan prilaku, peristiwa, dengan tujuan untuk menggambarkan suatu variabel yang berkenaan dengan fokus dan masalah yang diteliti. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan masih adanya kendala dalam proses pemungutan dan pengelolaan, seperti diperlukannya kejelian petugas pemungut dalam mendata wajib pajak (WP), menentukan jumlah PBB-P2 yang harus dibayarkan oleh WP, serta pemahaman WP dalam rangka mematuhi kewajibannya. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa perlu adanya sistematika proses pemungutan dan pengelolaan yang saling terkait untuk memudahkan proses pemgungutan dan pengelolaan PBB-P2 agar dengan bertambahnya pemasukan dari PBB-P2 maka pemasukan PAD juga bertambah sehingga pemerintahan, pembangunan dan sosial kemasyarakatan dapat berjalan dengan baik.

The article analyzes the content and meaning of the concept of international terrorism, as well as the functions of states to ensure the security and effectiveness of counter-terrorism. The study is based on the development of legal mechanisms to prevent terrorism through international law. In recent years, we have seen an international threat to state sovereignty by acts of international terrorism. The political structure and power methods of some states operate in such a way that all counteraction to international terrorism is reduced to minimization. Any civilized society cannot exist without legal support and protection of its citizens. A special task of the state in the field of international terrorism, appears to be the sustainable regulation of relations in modern society, in search of cooperation and compromise in solving global and regional problems, the effective operation of international legal acts. An analysis of doctrinal and normative sources has shown that the causes of modern terrorism lie in both the contradictions between states in defining the term "international terrorism" and the means of preventing terrorism. The findings on the nature of international terrorism suggest that legal mechanisms to counter international terrorism must be adopted in compliance with the doctrine of the rule of law and respect for the protection of citizens' rights, as well as the provisions of international law. Offers the author's answer to the research question on the legal mechanism and causes of ineffective counteraction to international terrorism. The goal of the modern state is to ensure the fullest realization of the rights of citizens against terrorism, by providing at the state and international level ways to ensure and protect them. Problems of international terrorism are addressed in both scientific and academic literature.
