Furdyk","doi":"10.15804/rop2021203","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15804/rop2021203","url":null,"abstract":": In the years since Ukraine’s independence, attention has been paid to defense capability of the country, but reforming the national defense sector has been falling behind current needs. Th e Ukrainian course towards the European community and NATO membership predetermines the advancement of all spheres of public life, including training of offi cer personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, its education and career progress. Th e reform of military education requires introducing new academic programs that permit training modern-type of-fi cers – military managers, who can constructively interpret theoretical materials, the experience of domestic and foreign scientists and implement them in their practical activities. Against the backdrop of the reform of military education, one of the most important tasks of higher military education involves not only training highly-qualifi ed specialists but also the conformi-ty of their knowledge with international standards that will allow them to be competitive both at the domestic and international labor markets and be compatible with NATO partners. Th e introduction of practical management experience as management methodology for the relevant system into military medicine will drive the formation of the requirements for organi-zing the training of specifi cally qualifi ed personnel. Th e training of a manager and leader under the dictatorship (authoritarian) principle is passing into history; there is a need for a military manager as a prototype of an intelligent and wise leader. With the advent and expansion of such a control system as management, the following question has arisen sporadically: what is the diff erence between management and administration? Th e objective of management is to increase the profi tability of business and production activities, i.e., gaining profi t. Th e objective of administration, in particular, state or public, is to regulate social relations, which would be convenient and benefi cial to the use of business and all citizens of the state in their day-to-day operations. Management objectives prescribe the features of management methodology which relies on the guiding principle: public administration adopts methodology and action procedure, which is defi ned by current legislation, and management adopts methodology and action procedure, which is not prohibited by law. Consequently, military administration is close to public administration in terms of the mentioned methodological principle since it is regulated by statutory acts and the system of orders allowed by the relevant laws in force. Th us, heightened attention to the enhancement of military administration is more important than using the terms “military management” and “military manager” within the system of military administration.","PeriodicalId":300317,"journal":{"name":"Reality of Politics","volume":"451 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131423904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While implementing the STRATCOM, it is very important to remember about their main rules and principles which are unique for both security and defence sector and business. Unfortunately, in the current “hybrid” measurement sometimes we should realize the eff ectiveness of the SC activities, thus it is necessary to defi ne the measurements of eff ectiveness and performance for eff ective evaluation of activities. Ukraine has been repelling the aggression in the Eastern Ukraine since 2014 within massive hybrid warfare against it. Th is fact has caused the initiating a range of reform and innovative processes in Ukraine. Since then, we have known about the STRATCOM in Ukraine. In (Historical retrospective analysis of formation and development of strategic communications in security and defence sector of Ukraine) we have analyzed the process of development of the SC in security and defence sector.

Th is trend has been reinforced by the greater information fl ow on economic opportunities and life-styles in diff erent cities and countries across the globe and by lower transportation costs. Th e burden of this paper is a critical examination of the various dimensions of delinquent international mobility of human capital and its developmental implications on source nations (oft en developing countries), recipient nations (oft en rich countries), and on international crime and development. Th e work is also interested in empirical solution to risk factors against youth-ful talents and possibilities as imperatives for social mobilization and transformation in a glo-balized world. The theoretical model for this work shall connect neo-Marxist critical perspective and comparative advantage theory viewed in the light of parsonnian social order model. Finally, the paper will critique social transformation problematic associated with youth-ful talents not developed and mobilized. Th rough resourceful literature and empirical models as stated earlier, the possible solutions will emerge. My expectation is to highlight the need for an adequate and cooperative policy response that balances the human resource needs of the source countries and of the receiving countries considering the fact that ethical standards for recruitment and compensation schemes are possible tools to deal with this phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":300317,"journal":{"name":"Reality of Politics","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130606463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Access to education can only be inclusive when all stakeholders are involved in its planning, execution and delivery of knowledge in a manner that does not discriminate in access and delivery. However, there is a disconnect between what knowledge is allowed to feed public opinion using public relations by the entrenched and vested interest in the edu-1 cation and law enforcement sectors. While clamor for inclusive education heighten across social class, the cost component of access is not accessible to all. Th erefore, the paper argues that deepening equity and inclusiveness in education and law enforcement will neither allow access discrimination nor spurious reportage within the public domain using public relations. It further posits that disparage public opinion on education and law enforcement using public relation mutilate reality and creates false impression that negatively aff ect planning and development.
