Desarrollo sostenible: intervenciones para mitigar la pobreza en pro de la sanidad
Authors: Bonifaz Díaz Diego Raúl , González Iruma Alfonso , Avendaño Castro Laura Paola , Acurio Padilla Piedad Elizabeth
Published: July 2021

La pobreza y la sanidad mantienen una correlación negativa que se dinamiza mediante intervenciones, ya que, al aplicar estrategias para disminuir condiciones de la pobreza como la vulnerabilidad, la falta de oportunidades, los factores de riesgo del entorno, o la escacez de recursos, se logra aumentar en consecuencia la salud, el bienestar, la nutrición, el entorno saludable y la esperanza de vida, todos ellos componentes de la sanidad. De manera similar, las intervenciones en pro de la de salud logran socavar los indicadores de pobreza. La importancia de las intervenciones radica en que, sin ellas, la balanza se inclinará hacia la tendencia más factible: afectación de la salud y aumento de la probeza. En la actualidad, son necesarias intervenciones que deriven en la erradicación y control de un conjunto de 20 enfermedades destacadas por la OMS, varias de ellas infecciosas y tropicales, que afectan en especial a las comunidades más pobres. Desde la concepción en 2015 de los 17 ODS, 7 de estos objetivos permiten enfocar las intervenciones necesarias en cada dimensión de la pobreza, y que a su vez mejoran la sanidad, desde la perspectiva del desarrollo sostenible. Aquí presentamos múltiples iniciativas de actores ciudadanos, privados o multisectoriales, orientadas a revertir la pobreza multidimensional, muchas de con alto potencial de impacto en la nación ecuatoriana.
Hacia una política de salud pública internacional: Migración y enfermedades tropicales
Authors: Quintana Llanes Jorge Marcelo , López Barrionuevo Carlos Gustavo , López Falcón Adriana , Poveda Paredes Francisco Xavier
Published: July 2021

En el año 2020 un total de 272 millones de personas fueron considerados migrantes internacionales, lo que significa que 1 de cada 30 personas en el mundo viven fuera de su país de origen o de residencia habitual. Actualmente, la región andina, compuesta por cinco países sudamericanos: Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú y Venezuela, acoge a casi de 5 millones y medio de migrantes internacionales. Estas cinco naciones poseen características socioambientales similares, como sectores con pobreza económica, bajas condiciones higiénicas y deficiencias en los programas de salud que, en conjunto a la fauna, ecología y la presencia riesgos biológicos propios de la zona tropical, desencadenan en la reemergencia de enfermedades tropicales. En 2020, al riesgo combinado de todas ellas se sumó el alto nivel patogénico del COVID-19, afectando a millones de ciudadanos y migrantes, tanto andinos como intercontinentales, pero en especial aquellos en condición irregular. La adopción de políticas de salud pública internacional acertivas permitirán enfrentar las contingencias sanitarias que afectan a este grupo en la región andina.

Authors: Jhosselyn I. Chacon , Alonso Soto , Christian R. Mejía
Published: July 2021

Las enfermedades oncológicas, crónicas e infecciosas son las causas más importantes de hospitalización. Sin embargo, existen pocos datos sobre su frecuencia y tendencia temporal. Por eso, el objetivo de este estudio fue determinar las características epidemiológicas y la tendencia de las enfermedades oncológicas, crónicas e infecciosas en un hospital público de Lima. Se realizó un estudio de tipo transversal en el periodo del 2008-2017. El tamaño mínimo muestral se calculó en 1225 pacientes. Los datos se tomaron a partir de las fichas de recolección de datos del Ministerio de Salud del Perú. Las variables principales fueron las enfermedades más comunes de los grupos: Oncológico, infeccioso y crónicos, teniendo en cuenta su clasificación final del CIE-10. De los 5086 pacientes la mediana de edades fue 57, con un rango intercuartílico de 42-70 años; las enfermedades crónicas fueron las más frecuentes (39%) y tienen una tendencia temporal estacionaria, le siguieron las enfermedades oncológicas y con tendencia al incremento, las menos frecuentes fueron las enfermedades infecciosas y con tendencia a disminuir. En conclusión, las enfermedades crónicas fueron las más frecuentes, con una tendencia temporal estacionaria en el tiempo, las enfermedades oncológicas fueron las segundas más frecuentes, con una tendencia de incremento en el tiempo y las enfermedades infecciosas fueron las menos frecuentes, con una tendencia a disminuir en el tiempo.

„Regime-order” and „regime-structure” in political system
Authors:   Kuras Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Mayboroda Oleksandr
Published: July 2021

The article deals with the problem of identification of political system typology in dependence on its mode of operation. The author is of the opinion that political regime is not identical to political system, being a compound of modes and methods of political rule, and according to their nature, the political system is assessed in its working condition. Another thesis propounded by the author is that political regime should be examined both as an „order” of political system operation and as a separate subject with its own system relations among actors realizing political rule. Based on this premise, the notions of „regime-order” and „regime-structure” have been proposed. In effect, it is actually „regime-structure” that regulates the functioning of political system’s „regime-order”, i.e., that determines the character of political rule. Connected to the operation of political system in practice, the notion of „deviation” is introduced in a sense of deflecting a „working” system’s regime from the „project” one, as drawn in constitution and laws. But situations can occur when the system begins to operate in the „working” regime before the „project” regime is established. In such a case, the character of the political „regime-order” becomes dependent on personal moral and political cultural preferences of those who gathered together in „regime-structure”, and their preferences in a form of principles and modes of rule may become the political tradition, at least for some time. The conceptual innovations proposed by the author are illustrated with the account of the evolution of both political regime forms in Ukraine during its political sphere’s independent development. The constant overflowing of ruling modes from one regime to another are caused also by the quality of social environment, first of all due to the domination of paternalist psychology therein. The most negative result of such evolution of feedback between ruling regimes and society is a domination of emotions over rationality in mass political thinking and behavior. Key words: political system, political regime, „regime-order”, „regime-structure”, political rule
Regional political elite: formation principles and mechanisms (Ivano-Frankivsk region as an example)
Authors:   Kuras Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Yaremchuk Vyacheslav
Published: July 2021

The article is dedicated to the problem related to the process of the formation of the political elite of Ivano-Frankivsk region. The main political actors of the regional political elite were specified by the formal features (their influence on the strategic political decisions) and its main groups were investigated (national deputies of Ukraine, heads of local governments and state authorities, heads of regional organizations of leading political parties, business elite, ideological and communicative elite, etc.). The main focus of the study was on the formation through elections and appointments of deputies (Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, regional council), as well as public authorities (regional state administration and its structures), which allowed to identify and analyze the main procedures and mechanisms of elite formation in the region, reflecting the complex processes of its change/reproduction on its own basis, renewal through the involvement of new members of society. Based on the analysis of a broad empirical base, the correlation of the process of elite formation of IvanoFrankivsk region with the general tendencies of transformation of the political system of Ukraine, the influence of the center-peripheral paradigm is confirmed. Thus, in the conditions of formation of a hybrid political regime, despite the significant dynamics of renewal of the main institutions of power in the region, this process at the turn of the XX−XXI centuries took place mostly in the form of circulation or reproductive circulation − a limited, formal process of renewal of the political elite, which was under the influence of leading political and economic groups. There was a gradual narrowing of institutional channels for recruiting political elites in the region, which turned it into a social group with incomplete social representation. Significant weight in the process of forming the political elite of Ivano-Frankivsk region „closed” procedures and nomenclature mechanisms, frequent changes during the elections and appointments of leading political actors, which did not always happen with heredity, significantly reduced the overall potential of the regional political elite, which is still not realized in the full measure. Key words: regional political elite, Ivano-Frankivsk region, formation of political elite.
Places of Memory for the victims of the Holocaust in Ukraine: the totalitarian legacy and historical and political challenges of today
Authors:   Kuras Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Podolskyi Anatolii
Published: July 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the formation of culture and policy Memory of the Holocaust victims in modern Ukraine. On the example of the international scholar and educational project „Protecting Memory”, which has been going on in Ukraine for more than ten years, the author analyzes the current state, trends, challenges and prospects of creating places of Memory and culture honoring the memory of World War II victims. war, including Ukrainian Jews and Ukrainian Roma. The article also provides a thorough analysis of the fundamental differences in the policy of remembrance for the victims of the Holocaust during the communist regime in Ukrainian lands and in modern democratic Ukraine. In the period from 1945 to 1991, the Communist authorities of the Ukraine banned a special memory of Jewish people, which were the victims of the Holocaust, all victims of National Socialism (official title of the Nazi part − NSDAP in German) during World War II were marked by the euphemism of the Soviet regime as „peaceful Soviet citizens”. The anti-Semitic policy was particularly harsh between 1948 and 1953, when Ukrainian Jews affected by the Nazi occupation came under the brunt of Soviet postwar repression. Thus, the feature of the tragic fate of Jewish communities during the domination of the Nazi anti-Semitic ideology and practice was completely leveled. The USSR denied the identities of civilian victims of the Nazi occupation, especially Jewish people and Roma. Only in the days of sovereign and independent Ukraine, the identity and memory of the victims of the Holocaust and the Roma Genocide in Ukraine were revived. One of the most powerful examples of restoring the historical memory of these civilian victims of the Nazi regime in Ukraine was the „Protecting Memory” project. Thanks to this project, during 2010−2020 in five regions of Ukraine − Lviv, Rivne, Volyn, Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr regions, 20 Memorials to Ukrainian Jewish people and Roma who were killed by Nazi punitive forces and their helpers during the German occupation of Ukraine in 1941−1944 were established. Key words: Holocaust, Antisemitism, Nazism, Stalin repressions Memory politics, World War II, Ukrainian Jews, Ukrainian Roma.

SOX as a window on transference of corporate governance norms across jurisdictions
Authors: Gilligan George Peter
Published: July 2021

This paper considers the issue of the transference of norms across jurisdictions in corporate governance contexts through the lens of an Australian case study. The paper focuses on the impacts of the United States of America (US) legislation the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002 (SOX) from an Australian perspective. The paper draws on a series of semi-structured interviews (n=14), with senior personnel of: accounting firms; business organisations; consumers; financial exchanges; government; institutional investors; investment banks; law firms; private investors; professional associations; and regulators. The findings from the study are that key stakeholders in Australia have taken notice of SOX and its effects in the US, but that the influence of SOX in specifically Australian contexts has been limited. The general perception in Australia seems to be that SOX has had some flaws in its inception and in its subsequent delivery in the US, but also that it has produced some positive outcomes. However, domestic factors and influences are overwhelmingly more important in shaping how financial regulation and corporate governance evolve in Australia. Therefore, it seems that SOX does not signify in any substantive way a regulatory hegemony emanating from the US that determines financial market regulation or the evolution of corporate governance in Australia.

Settlement agreements, legal information and the mistake of law rule in contract
Authors: Collins David
Published: July 2021

The extent of the doctrine of contractual mistake of law is evaluated in light of the Court of Appeal’s decision in Brennan v Bolt Burdon through the lens of economic efficiency, the associated incentivisation of productive information acquisition and contractual risk allocation. The Brennan court’s decision limits the relief available for claims of mistake grounded in unanticipated changes in the law to mistakes involving exceptional errors. In so doing it acknowledges the risk inherent in accepting contractual settlement offers as a matter of commercial risk taking which can be offset through express contractual limitation, subject to public policy concerns. The article considers the effects of such contractual risk allocation as well as the cost of dispelling ignorance to recommend a clarification of the scope of the mistake of law. This rule is based upon the gains to be achieved from the underlying contract to the contractual parties as well as advantages to society engendered by the dissemination of information about the law itself.
Inquiring for truth and the re-engineering of the corporate contract
Authors: O'Brien Justin
Published: July 2021

The British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has called for a global re-negotiation of a social contract between investment banking and wider society. Given the scale of the losses now borne by the taxpayer as a consequence of the global financial crisis in jurisdictions as diverse as Iceland, the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States, the proposal has undoubted rhetorical strength. It is also exceptionally difficult to render operational, not least because of (purposive) ambiguity over what constitutes and who should decide terms of reference. Moreover, piecemeal change may not only not secure legitimacy but may also have enormous if unintended consequences for the conceptual underpinning of corporate and securities law and the resulting regulatory framework. At a national level, one mechanism proposed to address this issue is through the establishment of a 'truth commission' an option chosen by Iceland. A second option is to convene an independent commission, a mechanism used throughout the Commonwealth, or an independent tribunal of inquiry, as used with increased frequency in the Republic of Ireland throughout the 1990s but rejected in relation to the global financial crisis. A third option is to convene a bi-partisan political commission, as deployed in the United States. Each option is exceptionally problematic within the domestic context, not least because of contention over remit and degree to which the findings translate into policy changes. The difficulties are compounded when applied to multi-faceted multi-jurisdictional problems such as the global financial crisis. This article examines whether – and if so how – independent commissions can provide a mechanism to re-negotiate a social and corporate contract capable of external validation and replication, critical factors for the maintenance of legitimacy, or whether official discourse simply reinforces the politics of illusion, privileging symbolic posturing over substantive change.

Dependency: an inhibitor to the Irish case for corporate social responsibility
Authors: Hackett Ciara
Published: July 2021

This paper addresses the potential resurgence of the post-imperial 'dependency theory' of the 1960s and 1970s. Suggesting that the initial premise of the theory was just, the article proposes the reworking of the theory in order to incorporate globalisation processes, namely the importance of global capital generated by multi national corporations. Considering that capital is now at the 'core', leads to the idea of a much wider catchment of states 'dependent' on global capital. Using Ireland as an example, this article pursues the idea that a dependent state’s ability to implement corporate social responsibility legislation is inhibited by the constraints of capital.

Asylum seekers and the right to access health care
Authors: Stevens Dallal
Published: July 2021

In recent years, the issue of access to health care by asylum seekers has raised serious questions for government, the courts and the medical profession. Who has the right to medical treatment in the United Kingdom is a political, humanitarian and human rights matter. For the government – often facing public hostility towards asylum seekers and migrants, fearful of health tourism or “pull factors” to the UK, and confronting burgeoning financial constraints – access to treatment is often regarded as a concession rather than a right. For the courts, any decision to grant treatment to non-nationals, particularly those with no right to remain, is seen as having political implications far beyond the needs of the individual. The medical profession, by contrast, prefers in the main to focus on the patient, without regard for immigration status, and is uncomfortable with a dual role. Where the balance should lie is currently being assessed by government as it considers responses to a consultation paper on Review of Access to the NHS by Foreign Nationals. At this timely point, this article offers a multidisciplinary approach to the question of access to health care by asylum seekers, by examining not only the legal position but also government policy, its impact on the individual, and, significantly, the ethical and philosophical arguments pro or contra treatment. It is contended that only through this comprehensive analysis can an appropriate legislative approach be adopted at a time when this critical social right is gaining ascendance.

Positive, humane and expeditious? An analysis of Ireland’s implementation of its obligations in relation to family reunification under the CRC
Authors: Kenny Catherine
Published: July 2021

This paper will examine legislative and policy provisions relating to family reunification of persons granted international protection in Ireland and whether these comply with the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). For the most part, the families involved can only hope to reunite in Ireland because return to the country of origin or a third country is impossible. Although the principle of family unity is generally expected in human rights instruments, the CRC is the only widely ratified international human rights instrument to include specific articles addressing the issue of family reunification, and this paper will assess compliance with those articles, and with the core principles obliging states to ensure that the views of children must be heard in all matters relating to them, and making “the best interests of the child” a primary consideration in all decisions concerning children. It will also address the issue of how Ireland’s implementation of its obligations under the CRC in respect to family reunification cannot be addressed in isolation from its policies to reduce the number of asylum claims which have seen the number of applications fall in 2010 for the eighth successive year, and its failure until relatively recently to provide adequate care and support for separated children seeking asylum.
The right to self-representation before International Criminal Tribunals, while not absolute, should only be denied in limited circumstances
Authors: Bassett Paul
Published: July 2021

One of the most controversial aspects of the International Criminal Tribunals (ICTs) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) concerns the right to self-representation. Many defendants have sought to use the trial as a stage on which to challenge the legitimacy of the court and to play to the crowd in their own home states. As a result, the various ICTs have sought to place limitations on the accused’s right to selfrepresentation. The recent amendment to the Statute of the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal (SICT) is an example of this. This evolution raises questions concerning the effect such limitations may have on the overall fair trial rights of the accused. This article argues that there is a need to establish a guaranteed right of self-representation, provided the accused adheres to an objective set of conditions placed on the right. Such conditions should be confined to those strictly necessary to ensure the integrity of the court. Such a move would allow the court to gain some much needed legitimacy while at the same time deny defendants the ability to turn the court into a political stage.

Modernising corporate objective debate towards a hybrid model
Authors: Zhao Jingchen
Published: July 2021

In the light of the increasing significance and vivid dynamism of corporate governance practices, a vast amount of literature has been dedicated to the development of modes of corporate governance. This subject deals with the rights and responsibilities of boards of directors, their shareholders and stakeholders, and the balancing of their individual interests with the economic goals of the organisation as well as the interests of society as a whole. A fundamental topic lies at the heart of corporate governance regimes: whose interests should corporations be serving? This article rethinks the shareholder and stakeholder theory debate, treating it as a contemporary topic worth reconsidering in the context of the current climate of corporate scandals and financial crisis. Learning from experience, the article offers some guidance on how to establish an efficient corporate governance model by adopting hybrid model principles for higher investor confidence, bettercorporation shape, more active involvement from shareholders and stakeholders and more considerations of the views and interests of stakeholder groups. Thus, this paper provides some thoughts on corporate objectives in the convergent corporate governance model in order to formulate a hybrid model mechanism and provide some guidance for directors in the carrying out of their function.
'Reform or revolution'? Polanyian versus Marxian perspectives on the regulation of the economic
Authors: Baars Grietje
Published: July 2021

Rosa Luxembourg’s 1900 pamphlet 'Reform or revolution', which critiqued reformist political strategy, has relevance to, and finds echoes in today’s debates on the possibility and desirability of using law to protect society from the market’s negative effects. It also summed up the nineteenth-century 'Polanyian' reformist and Marxist 'revolutionary' perspectives. Polanyi argued that 'the economic' must be 'embedded' in the social by means of legal regulation, an argument he illustrates with the help of the 'Speenhamland' example. Marx, while acknowledging the role of the legal struggle as part of class struggle, concludes that ultimately 'right can never be higher than the economic structure of society'. Marxist legal theorist Pashukanis developed this position in his 'commodity form theory of law' which points to the structural impossibility of law’s regulation of capitalism. While contemporary 'Polanyist' Ruggie again asserts that legal and soft law 'global governance' regimes can control capitalism’s main instrument, the corporation, Shamir contra Ruggie argues that the 'moralisation of markets' through corporate social responsibility (CSR) leads to the 'marketisation of morality' or a change in what we perceive law to be (and who has legitimate authority to regulate) rather than a 'taming' of markets. Following Shamir, I add that this corporate-led global governance hastens the collapse of capitalism, and confirms the inevitability of revolution and the subsequent creation of a law-free society.
From codes of conduct to international framework agreements: contractualising the protection of human rights
Authors: Marzo Claire
Published: July 2021

This article analyses international framework agreements (IFAs) in the light of Polanyi’s account of interventions to embed markets and thus regulate them. This special type of voluntary market regulatory arrangement that is shaped by multinational companies and international trade unions and constructed through the activities of the state is envisaged as a possible tool to embed liberalism even though several challenges must be taken into consideration.
UNCITRAL, security rights and the globalisation of the US Article 9
Authors: McCormack Gerard
Published: July 2021

This article provides a critical analysis of the UN Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) proposals for developing – through its Legislative Guide (the Guide) – a 'liberal' global secured credit law regime that opens up the range of assets that can be used for securing loans and that limits formal procedures required for taking security interests. The article argues that UNCITRAL’s reliance on Article 9 of the US Uniform Commercial Code is problematic for various reasons. First, it neglects reference to indigenous secured credit law norms that also reflect national social policy choices in a range of countries. Second, it questions the idea that global 'liberal' secured credit law of the kind articulated in the Guide helps to achieve 'economic efficiency', since it relies on a narrow conception of private property. Moreover, by relying on existing property rights distributions, a liberal secured credit law can further entrench existing socio-economic disparities in a society. The article therefore casts doubt on the idea that UNCITRAL’s Legislative Guide is an example of a successful 'harmonized, modernized and marketized' secured credit law, and instead – in Polanyian terms – draws attention to its potential to further disembed markets in credit out of social relationships.
The transformation of broadcasting: public service broadcasting, the BBC and the distortion of new media markets
Authors: Harker Michael
Published: July 2021

Broadcasting markets in Europe have traditionally been highly regulated, with large public subsidies seen as necessary to ensure that cultural and citizenship goals can be realised. While being outside of Polanyi’s purview when he wrote his seminal work The Great Transformation, these 'markets' exist alongside other public interest norms; in his words, they are embedded in society.1 In the last 20 years, broadcasting markets in Europe have undergone something of a 'transformation', in the sense that technological advances have facilitated a shift away from public provision towards a market-based model. The removal of spectrum constraints has led to new platforms and a proliferation of channels. More importantly, with the emergence of conditional access systems has come the growth of subscription and pay-per-view television, offering significant new revenue streams and the development of new markets in premium content. Latterly, non-linear television services have seen a shift in audience viewing behaviour, and the convergence between television and the internet heralds new, innovative modes of delivery of, and changing pricing mechanisms for, broadcasting services. So, as a consequence of technological developments, we see the rise of a new type of commodity in broadcasting services. Whereas once, such goods were universally available partly because their consumption was physically non-excludable, now technology facilitates charging and the emergence of a market based on willingness and ability to pay.

The European Union, its Court of Justice and “super-stewardship” in public health
Authors: Hervey Tamara K
Published: July 2021

Brownsword et al.’s concept of stewardship relies on the notions of intervention ladders' and of 'productive disconnection' and 'intelligent purposive reconnection' between the written texts of the law and developments in science, society and the interface between the two. This article argues that 'superstewardship' (a modified version of stewardship applicable at the supranational level) provides an appropriate standpoint for analysis and assessment of the European Union’s (EU) law and policy-making institutions in the area of public health. The article gives a preliminary illustration of how superstewardship might be used in this way. The overall argument is that intervention ladders, duly modified, provide a device for analysis or assessment of law and policy-making, and that productive disconnection and intelligent purposive reconnection, duly modified, provide a device for analysis or assessment of adjudication by the EU’s Court of Justice.

Upaya Pengelolaan Dana Zakat Profesi Untuk Kesejahteraan Mustahiq
Authors: Marsono Adi
Published: July 2021

Zakat Merupakan rukun islam terpenting setelah shalat, zakat dan shalat dijadikan sebagai perlambang keseluruhan ajaran islam dan juga dijadikan sebagai satu kesatuan. Pelaksanaan shalat melambangkan hubungan seseorang dengan Tuhan, sedangkan pelaksanaan zakat melambangkan hubungan antarsesama manusia. Zakat profesi selama ini dipahami banyak orang hanyalah merupakan jenis zakat penghasilan bagi profesi tertentu. Padahal jenis zakat yang satu ini sangat potensial dan produktif membantu masyarakat yang kurang mampu. Bilamana model pengelolaan, pendayagunaan, pemanfaaatan serta pendistribusiannya dimaksimalkan, maka akan melahirkan suatu konsep pemodelan yang nantinya akan membantu pemerintah, pengelola zakat serta masyarakat dalam menghadapi problem zakat.
