ANALYSES ON LEGAL SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT AND POLICE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES

Like any country carries out both foreign and domestic policy management, similarly administration also carries out internal and external operations and manages them with legal norms. From this, the internal administrative operation of the police organization and its legal management is directed towards ensuring the implementation of the law and improving operation results of its personnel and organizations. As the legal act systemization is also directed towards result improvement, hence I propose that it is of importance and demand to study the interconnection between them and utilization of it in practice.The purpose of this study is to show the results and differences from implementing legal techniques in the legal sector and establishment of legislative institutions, viewing legal act systemization technique as the theoretic foundation for systematic creation of the legal norm acts of the police organization’s internal operation rather than the narrow view of it as only legislation

Règles du jeu dans la coopération transfrontalière : différence juridico-administratives dans la prévention de la criminalité entre la Finlande et al Russie

Artikkeli julkaistu ranskankielisenä käännöksenä: Règles du jeu dans la coopération transfrontalière: différence juridico-administratives dans la prévention de la criminalité entre la Finlande et al Russie (Revue internationale des sciences administratives 2018 vol. 84, 2, p. 363-379)The article illuminates the dynamics of bilateral cross-border cooperation between two vastly different legal-administrative partners. The analysis utilizes empirical findings of a case study on bilateral Finnish–Russian crime prevention cooperation. Currently, both the differences in national legislations and the fast-changing administrative environment make this cooperation challenging. The case study showed that bilateral cooperation, which is the dominant form of cooperation between EU member states and Russia, is currently affected by disjointed and even competing multilateral and bilateral structures, differences in criminal law and procedure, gaps between international treaties and national legislation, local and regional variations of practices, weak institutional trust and abrupt policy changes. The results indicate that the effectiveness of cross-border networks cannot be assessed strictly in terms of quantitative outcomes. Further long-term development of the cooperation requires both realistic understanding of legal-administrative constraints and strong commitment at the national and supranational political levels.Peer reviewe

On the Peace and Security Implications of Cybercrime: A Call for an Integrated Perspective

Criminal cyberattacks have skyrocketed in the past decade, with ransomware attacks during the pandemic being a prime example. While private corporations remain the main targets and headlines are often dominated by the financial cost, public institutions and services are increasingly affected. Governments across the globe are working on combatting cybercrime. However, they often do not see eye-to-eye, with geopolitical tensions complicating the search for effective multilateral remedies further. In this research report, we focus on the threat that cybercrime poses to peace and security, which is rarely addressed. We examine the potential of cybercrime to exacerbate state-internal conflicts, for example by fuelling war economies or by weakening social coherence and stability. Various actors sharing similar, possibly even identical, approaches to compromising adversarial computer systems is another threat that we assess, as it has the potential to cause unintended escalation. Similarly, cyber vigilantism and hack-backs, whether conducted by private actors or corporate entities, can also endanger state agency and the rule of law. While an international treaty, as for example currently being discussed at the UN, could be a valuable step toward curbing cybercriminal behaviour, we also reflect on possible negative side effects - from increased domestic surveillance to repression of opposition. Lastly, we argue for an integrated perspective, combining various knowledge bases and research methodologies to counter direct and indirect limitations of research, particularly pertaining to data availability but also analytical concepts

The World of Rules

"This book takes a stand against the narrowing focus of (German) jurisprudence on state law, rooted in the history of the territorially organised nation state. In the shadow of this tradition, state(-hood) law was only conceived of as state law. However, a gradual decoupling of state and law is observable – not least because of globalisation – which inevitably entails a pluralisation of legal regulations. Jurisprudence has to react to this, if it wants to remain relevant. This can happen through a broadening of its horizon towards a more far-reaching “science of regulation”, in order to grasp the increasing “Variety of Rules” adequately. State law remains an important and central type of law, yet it is no longer the sole type. If that is the case, it becomes necessary to analyse the following three spheres: (1) the plurality of normative orders, especially those of non-state character; (2) the plurality of norm producers, from state legislature to transnational networks of regulation; (3) finally, the plurality of norm enforcement regimes, from states’ judiciaries via the judiciary of (international) sport to the exercise of social pressure (e. g. political correctness). Those findings of plurality inevitably lead to the follow-up problem of a redefinition of the concept of law and to the question, which types of law/norms can be identified meaningfully.

Public administration, competitiveness and sustainable development: proceedings of the National Conference organized by the Italian National Section of the IIAS Trento, 23-24 May 2002

The debate over the question of the sustainability of development has been for some time underway in relation to the environment and to public health. More recently attention has turned to other aspects of sustainability as well, now that a generally accepted meaning of the term has been reached which defines it as the sum total of policies for satisfying the needs of the present generation without compromising the capacity of future generations to satisfy their own needs. Within this broader context the role of public administration is obvious. One of the key questions that this volume has attempted to provide an answer is: can the European vision hold true in the same terms for Italy as well
