WHAT ARE ACCOUNTABILITY ANS SOCIAL CONTROL MECHANISMS? RESUMO: Para melhor compreendermos o que são accountability e mecanismos de controle social, uma breve contextualização sobre a Democracia Liberal Representativa e Governança se faz necessária, passando pelos pontos de vista da Ciência Política, da Ciência da Administração Pública e, por fim, do Direito, com ênfase em Direito Administrativo e Direito e Desenvolvimento. Na expressão mecanismos de controle social são considerados os instrumentos, as ferramentas e os recursos, que compõe a engrenagem relacional da accountability. São duas formas de olhar para o mesmo fenômeno, apenas que na primeira ele é visto como um regime relacional político-jurídico e, na segunda, como um conjunto de ferramentas e recursos, que, unidos por uma engenharia ou arquitetura, formam um regime institucionalizado de controle. Por tais razões, a afirmação de Mulgan (2000), de que a accountability é um meio de controle, entendido em seu sentido amplo. De outro lado, porém, accountability pode ser, por vezes, mais do que um mecanismo de controle, mas o próprio controle.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Accountability. Controle social. Conceitos. Definições.ABSTRACT: In order to better understand what accountability and social control mechanisms are, a brief contextualization of Representative Liberal Democracy and Governance is necessary, from the points of view of Political Science, Public Administration Science and, finally, Law, with emphasis on Administrative Law and Law and Development. In the expression social control mechanisms are considered the instruments, tools and resources that make up the relational gear of accountability. They are two ways of looking at the same phenomenon, only that in the first it is seen as a political-legal relational regime and, in the second, as a set of tools and resources, which, united by engineering or architecture, form an institutionalized regime of control. For these reasons, Mulgan's (2000) statement that accountability is a means of control, understood in its broad sense, and, on the other hand, however, accountability may sometimes be more than a control mechanism, but control itself.KEYWORDS:  Accountability.

In the administrative and legal science there is a refinement, change and expansion of the subject of the dynamic branch of administrative law, aimed at eliminating the resulting lag of legal theory from the legal reality. In our view, of the three basic categories that characterize the subject of administrative law, “public administration”, “executive power” and “administrativepublic activity”, the main generalization category is the category “administrative and public activities”. The phenomenon of the subject of administrative law refracts the problems and discussions inherent in the industry as a whole. In view of the existence of different points of view on the subject of administrative law, the legal science has not yet formulated a single definition of it. There is a tendency to overcome the conflict between different types of understanding, to bring together the positions of different concepts of understanding of administrative law in order to form a “universal” concept of it, to develop its common concept.

The article discusses the issues of the availability and legal repercussions of illegal administrative acts according to Greek Administrative Law. Following the principle of legality, the operation of the public administration and especially the issuing of administrative decisions should be fully governed by the relevant legal provisions; nevertheless, it rather often happens that decisions are taken, which are partially or completely in violation of legal provisions. Despite that fact, and due to the existing principle of enforcement of administrative decisions independently of their legal status (presumption of legality of the administrative decisions issued), even illegal decisions are producing legal results and have to be removed or suspended in order to re-establish legality. The article presents various types and categories of problematic decisions. This issue is provided according to the theory of Administrative Law in Greece. In addition, the legal remedies foreseen for restitution of legality; the author considers other remedies and procedural functions, which can be applied either by the institutions themselves or by the citizens whose rights were negatively affected by the problematic decision. Even though the situation at the legislative level seems to be satisfactory, the current manifold crisis of the country has led to the (pretty often conscientious) production of extremely defective and illegal decisions, the suspension of which requires time and resources. Whereas the citizens involved have to struggle to maintain their rightful status or even to survive socially and economically. The quantity of such decisions of the administrative and state institutions is reaching a threshold which can be considered risky and dangerous not only for the parties involved but in the medium-term also for the overall democratic structure of the country’s executive and administration.

In a 1972 “Communications” toPSI noted that according to the annual listing of “Doctoral Dissertations in Political Science, 1971,” women had not come close to achieving parity in numbers with the male members of the profession.Curious to see if the 1972 listing would show any sizable change, I once again divided the names by sex. The results were almost exactly the same.Even if the list is viewed by selected subject areas, the percentage of females never goes above 13%, although it does drop as low as 7%.According to these figures, the field in which women are most frequent has changed from U.S. Government and Politics to U.S., State and Local Government and Politics. Public Administration shows the sharpest decrease in percentage of women, while U.S. Constitutional and Administrative Law and Foreign and Comparative Politics show increases. To guess that half of the unknown names are females is risky and adds little to the total impact.

Abstract Unconsolidated sandstone formations are normally completed with one form of sand control or the other. The aim is to manage sand production as low as reasonably practicable and protect well and surface equipment from possible loss of containment. There are about 8 broad types of sand control namely; internal gravel pack, external gravel pack, chemical sand consolidation (SCON), open-hole expandable sand screen, cased-hole expandable sand screen, stand-alone screen, pre-packed screen and frac & pack. Gas-lifting targets to increase pressure drawdown required for wells to produce by injecting gas at a pre-determined depth using gas-lift valves installed in the tubing. Whereas gas-lift design targets to optimize the gas-lift injection to ensure stable production, the associated drawdown may challenge the operating envelope of the sand control mechanism in place. The OT field has been in production for about 50 years and has been on gas-lift for about 20 years. There have also been occasional sand production problems in the field; some of which occur in gas-lifted wells. This paper will highlight the outcome of a study that investigated the performance of various sand control mechanisms under gas-lift production and present observed trends to serve as guide in maximizing the performance of such gas-lifted wells with sand control mechanism.

<p>The use of different languages within the same geographical area usually generates different opinions about how these should be controlled within public ambits, such as education, media or public administration. Our main goal is to provide an analysis of the existing points of view with regard to the use of Spanish and the other co-official languages in Spain, stressing the legal framework that justifies them, as well as their underlying objectives and possible consequences. Our intention is to discuss if these texts are aimed to simply recognize the official character of two languages or if they pursue the development of a linguistic planning that guarantees the use of both within the public ambit.</p>

In this chapter, I discuss the causes and consequences of masculine domination in sexuality. My main theoretical inspiration is Bourdieu’s theory of masculine domination and his key concept symbolic violence. The Norwegian TV-series SKAM is my empirical case. I will trace the historical roots of masculine domination, and discuss how this puts limits on female sexuality, integrity and dignity. By identifying “the elephant in the room”, masculine domination, Bourdieu claims that we can see sexual harassment as a type of social control of women and gay people, using shame as the key control mechanism. I will analyse the reproduction of masculine dominance and symbolic violence through language; by the use of words like “whore” and “homo”, and through masculine stigmatizations of “good” and “bad” girls. The TV-series SKAM has had a considerable impact on the how Norwegians talk about sexual harassment, homophobia and other religions. SKAM shows how the youth can strengthen their self-esteem by dismantling the taboos and making them aware of social control mechanisms. In this chapter, I am addressing teachers to use SKAM to discuss sexual harassment, and to continuing dismantling cultural taboos.

This chapter aims to characterize the French administrative system and its contemporary transformations, by identifying the dynamics and diversity of the research conducted on this subject in the disciplines of sociology, political science, and in history. Adopting a comparative perspective, it emphasizes the richness of research programs on the French bureaucracy, its institutions, regulation, reforms, and agents. Four pillars of the French administrative system are identified (centralization, territoriality, administrative law, and administrative elites). The chapter emphasizes the renewal of academic studies of French public administration, exploring the various dimensions and effects of neo-managerial reforms (policy elites, street-level bureaucrats, professional groups). The chapter also characterizes the “French touch” in the study of French public administration and claims that French scholars of the bureaucracy, influenced by stimulating sociological perspectives, offer an interesting dialogue with the approaches that are currently dominant at the international level, and might sometimes even reinvigorate them.

Both political scientists and lawyers are in quest of better understanding of the same problems about the same processes of the same administrative agencies carrying out the same programs. Yet the two professional groups characteristically work quite independently of each other. Acting in the belief that both lawyers and political scientists should benefit by increased mutual criticism, I propose to record my impressions of that area of political science which overlaps with and is contiguous to administrative law. The point of view will be that of one who is concerned primarily with law and legal education.This paper is designed (1) to evaluate the case studies edited by Harold Stein, entitled Public Administration and Policy Development, (2) to contrast with the case studies the basic method of instruction marked out by some of the conventional texts on public administration, (3) to criticize the undue emphasis upon broad perspective at the expense of detailed facts in the literature of public administration, (4) to call attention to the inordinate amount of misinformation about administrative law in some of the texts on public administration, (5) to express doubts about the choice of subject matter for some of the texts on public administration, and (6) to attempt constructive suggestions for further research on political science aspects of administrative law problems.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce those scientific methods and new paradigms that are to overcome the one-sided jurisprudential methods of analysis of public administration. On the one hand, as it has been obvious for a long time, a sort of inter- or multidisciplinary method is needed for a strong scientific and material framework which allows further conclusions. And on the other hand, beyond multi- and interdisciplinarity, it is unavoidable to reestablish the philosophic synthesis between the legal norms regulating public administration and the facts of the real operation. Probably this direction will/may be the basis and the realiser of the change of paradigm (also) in Hungarian sciences of public administration. In general it may be stated that due to the crises social sciences more and more shall start examining the real meaning of things, the broader examination frameworks of the analysed phenomena, instead of descriptive questions analysing the ways of operation. In the era of crises, when everyday experiences falsify our expectations, legal and political science become more radical: it shall examine and revise the validity of its preassumptions – which it had considered firm before.

Discourse is a series of sentences that relate and connect one proposition with the other propositions to from a unity. The main function of the news is not to warn, instruct, and make the public stunned, the main function of the news is to inform and then it is upto the public to utilize the news. There are two ways for the news to be useful to the public, the first to effort news as general knowledge and the second to effort the news a tool of social control. E-Ktp corruption cases are one of the biggest corruption cases that occurered in Indonesia. Therefore, many mass media reported heavilly on E-Ktp corruption cases, one of which was the kompas.com. furthermore, to find out how the writer gets the source the writer gets the source of data and information the writer uses the criminology visual method and then analyzes it using criminology newsmaking theory. However, the results of this study illustrate that the aspect highlighted are those of actors suspected of being involved in E-Ktp corruption cases. Where the media only emphasizes one institution, namely the people’s representative council, even though in this case the involved parties are not only the legislature but case the involved parties are not only the legislature but also from various institutions such as the interior ministry, state-owned enterprises, and private entrepreneurs. In the aspect of media projection Kompas.com make the bulk of the news about E- Ktp corruption cases as news headline and a tranding topic.
