  • Local leadership and local self-government in the context of austerity: the European experience

    Book Chapter
    Vectors of socio-economic development in Russia. Modern challenges and opportunities
    Author:
    Aleksandr I. Kugai
    Work direction:
    Глава 4
    Abstract:
    The chapter examines the problems that are solved by local authorities and local political leaders in the European context. Three specific approaches have been identified that can be used by central and regional authorities in relation to local self-government, as well as by political leaders in managing their territories: corporate (joint), coercive and conceptual. Cooperative in nature and based on the pooling of local and national resources and political potential, both by local leaders and through interaction between levels of government. The coercive approach is based either on direct political control – through the power of the central government (and local leaders), or on the use of pressure, political persuasion or incentives, where direct political control is exercised. The conceptual model recognizes the need to address the gap between what is politically feasible – what local government and local leaders can do and achieve – and reality. Understanding this conceptual gap is essential given the pace of change in local government and the varying capabilities of local leaders to respond to emerging challenges such as austerity.

  • Virtue and Law in Chinese Management Theory and Practice

    Book Chapter
    Vectors of socio-economic development in Russia. Modern challenges and opportunities
    Author:
    Aleksandr I. Kugai
    Work direction:
    Глава 9
    Abstract:
    The chapter studies the dualistic nature of Chinese management theory, namely the coexistence of two management styles: Wang Dao and Ba Dao. Wang Dao is based on the rules of virtue, and Ba Dao is based on the rules of law. Wang Dao implies a policy of agreement, and Ba Dao implies a policy of opposing the enemy. These two management styles are inseparable and important for the functioning and development of society. It is argued that the condition for modernizing the governance system of modern China, which is in search of a golden mean between the rule of virtue and the rule of law, is a hybrid democracy that absorbs the energy of consensual and competitive democracy.
