1.Common law A common law legal system is a system of law characterized by case law which is law developed by judges through decisions of courts and similar tribunals a common law system is based on legal precedents. The roots of the common law legal systems can be traced back to the first common law system created in England during the Middle Ages. Today, most countries that once had ties to England, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong, to name a few, operate under common law. Aside from Great Britain, the majority of the countries in Europe operate under a version of civil law modeled after the Roman legal system created centuries ago In a common law system, the law is created by precedents set after judges decide actual cases. When a judge hears a case that has a new issue in it, the judge makes a decision regarding the issue in the case. That decision then becomes a precedent that must be followed by o...

University of Tartu Faculty of Social Sciences and Education Institute of Government and Politics Marie Allikmaa The strategies of creating a dominant party the case of United Russia Tartu 2011 After the collapse of USSR in 1991, many observers expected Russia to develop into a competitive party system. Yet, the reality quickly challenged this view. The developments of party politics in post-Soviet Russia have accurately been described in terms of a pendulum effect, as in the 2000s, Russia's party system did finally begin to take for, but with a remarkable twist. Following the break of one-party rule, Russia's party system became strongly fragmented - during the 1995 parliamentary elections, 43 parties competed for popular votes (McFault 1996: 90). In the 21st century, the pendulum has moved back, ...

Hent Kalmo Kes peaks kaitsma Eesti põhiseadust? Weimari vabariigi ajal vaidlesid Saksa juristid palju selle üle, kes peaks kaitsma riigi põhiseadust. Lahkarvamusi tekitas toona peamiselt küsimus, kas järelevalvaja rolli sobib paremini president või kohus. Need, kes kõnelesid presidendi poolt, – tuntuim nende hulgas oli Carl Schmitt*1 – väitsid, et seaduste hindamine põhiseaduse mõõdupuuga erineb tavapärasest kohtupidamisest, sest on olemuselt poliitilist laadi tegevus. Seda väidet toetavate autorite arvates ähvardas põhiseaduslikkuse järelevalve menetlus sundida poliitiliste otsuste langetamise liigkitsastesse õiguslikesse raamidesse. Teised õigus- teadlased – eeskätt Hans Kelsen*2 – väitsid vastu, et igasuguse õigusemõistmisega kaasneb mõningal määral vaba otsustamine. Seetõttu ei saavat tavapärast kohtupidamist kui õig...

The Rise and Demise of the New Public Management Wolfgang Drechsler (University of Tartu and Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia) © Copyright: Wolfgang Drechsler 2005 Within the public sphere, the most important reform movement of the last quarter of a century has been the New Public Management (NPM). It is of particular interest in the post-autistic economics (pae) context because NPM largely rests on the same ideology and epistemology as standard textbook economics (STE) is based (for my take on this, see Drechsler 2000), and it has had, and still has, similar results. Already more on the defensive within public administration (PA) than STE is within economics, NPM also shows that such major paradigm shifts in theory and policy may actually happen. In addition, it occasionally appears that pae-oriented scholars have overlooked the fact that some features in public management refo...

Mitte kõik rikkad riigid ei ole HR. nt diktatuur. HR-ist rääkides peame silmas mingit riiki, mis on tõsiselt käsile võtnud sotsiaalkindlustussüsteemid.

Politoloogia ja poliitika Poliitika (kr politike linna- või riigijuhtimiskunst < polis riik) tähendas algselt tegelemist linnriigi (polise) avalike asjadega ehk kodanike ühiste probleemidega. Selle eesmärk jõuda kõiki kodanikke rahuldava elukoralduseni üldise hüveni. Üldine hüve kreeka arusaamade kohaselt on võimalus elada Jumalatele meelepärast (vooruslikku) elu. Ethos... Epsiloniga ( ) tähistas ,,kommet", ,,uudsust" polises kehtivaid käitumisnorme, ,,moraalikoodeksit" Eetaga ( ) : eetika kitsamas mõistes inimese iseloom. Selline inimene ei järginud ainult käitumisreegleid, vaid püüdis teha head. Antiikeetika keskne idee: tõeline, õnnelik, õnnestunud (kordaläinud) elu. Antiikmõtlejad arvasid, et tunnetus on võimalik meelelise kogemuse kaudu. Aristoteles (,,Nikomachose eetika") Eetika avaldub inimeste käitumises, mis omakorda on seotud koduse majapidamise (oikos maja, kodu) ja poliitikaga. Eetika, ökonoomika ja poliitika m...

Antropoloogia jaotumine neljaks väljaks, nende põhilised uurimisalad antropoloogia jaguneb neljaks järgmiselt: arheoloogia, kultuurantropoloogia, bioloogiline antropoloogia ja antropoloogiline lingivistika. Arheoloogia möödunud kultuuride võrdlev uuring läbi materiaalsete uuringute ja keskkonna uuringute, mis inimtegevuse tagajärjel minevikust maha jäänud. Kultuurantropoloogia uurib inimest, kui ühiskondlikku olevust, tema käitumismustreid, tavasid, kombeid. Ühelt poolt püütakse leida universaalset, midagi mis on ühine kõikidele kultuuridele. Teiselt poolt tuleb märgata just ainulaadset, seda mis eristab ühte kultuuri teisest, muutes ta universaalsekt, kordumatuks. Bioloogiline antropoloogia tegeleb peamiselt inimese füüsilise karakteristika uurimise ja analüüsimisega. Antropoloogiline lingvistika interdistsiplinaarne uuring, kuidas keel mõjutab ühiskonda. Antropoloogiline lingvistika uurib, kuidas keel kujundab kommunikatsioo...

Philosophy of Language Philosophy of Language: a Contemporary Introduction introduces the student to the main issues and theories in twentieth and twenty-first-century phi- losophy of language, focusing specifically on linguistic phenomena. Topics are structured in four parts in the book. Part I, Reference and Referring, includes topics such as Russell's Theory of Descriptions, Donnellan's distinction, problems of anaphora, the description theory of proper names, Searle's cluster theory, and the causalhistorical theory.
