Abstract: The article presents the author’s vision of the place and role of social entrepreneurship in the development of the human capital of students. The authors note that the ongoing changes in society and the economy pose the most important task - the study of a phenomenon such as human capital. Training in social entrepreneurship of students can somehow contribute to the formation of the individual human capital of a student to more successfully adapt to the modern labor market. The authors proposed a model of human capital consisting of seven components, which served as the basis for the development and implementation of a modular curriculum in the work of several universities. The article presents a pedagogical experiment on testing a modular program at universities in the South and North Caucasus Federal Districts and evaluates its results. Suggestions were made for the development of an urgent and state-important strategic direction for universities - a focus on the formation of positive human capital for students. Keywords: Social entrepreneurship, Human capital, entrepreneurial capital, Social capital, Mission of higher education, Student. |
The Current State of Transnational Organized Crime - Pages 797-802 Vladimir Golubovskii, Mikhail Kostyuk and Elena Kunts DOI: https://doi.org/10.6000/1929-4409.2020.09.75 Published: 15 October 2020 |
Abstract: The paper indicates that criminal groups may differ in terms of size, the scope of operations, types of activities, territorial range, relations with authorities and management, internal organization, and the set of means and methods used to promote their criminal activities and to guard against measures taken by the Government and law enforcement bodies. When national, historical, and cultural differences are taken into account, the diversity of criminal organizations becomes even more evident, while prevention and suppression pose even greater challenges for law enforcement agencies, especially in countries where these organizations are active in their illegal activities. The study is aimed at analyzing national-level legislative measures that may be efficient about one type of organized criminal group, but may not be appropriate for other types. To solve the problems formulated, a complex methodology will be required, combining empirical studies of specific facts and a fundamental theoretical understanding of the conceptual foundations of the problem posed. The results of the analysis made it possible to theoretically substantiate the increased social danger of transnational organized criminal groups, which entails the adoption of appropriate legislative measures. Identifying the latency level of transnational crimes will make it possible to assess the efficiency of the existing sets of measures against it, as well as to formulate recommendations on improving the system of legislative measures to prevent the activities of transnational criminal organizations. A gap in the study can be attributed to the insufficient amount of statistical information on the analyzed crime. The novelty of the research lies in the comprehensive analysis of the current state of transnational organized crime. Keywords: Organized transnational crime, international cooperation, national legislation, transnational criminal organizations, crime, prevention. |

Abstract: In the context of modern globalization, the task of clarifying the role of the federalism idea as a conceptual level of cognition in the context of the formation of new forms of state-legal education becomes urgent. The most important prerequisite here is a theoretical and methodological solution to the problem of federalism as a concept involving the consideration of its historical understanding and the solution of issues of federalism as a state-legal formation (practice) inextricably linked with the genesis of the federalism concept. Hence, the main purpose of the study is to investigate the stages of the federalism concept formation and discloses the historical features of its practical implementation. Two opposing principles of federalism (integrative and disintegrative) are defined and the promising outlook of its research from the perspective of an integrative approach is shown. Keywords: Federalism concept, integrative and disintegrative principles, practical implementation, integrative approach. |
