This is the second event of the Transsystemic Law Series ; In this talk, Dr. Promislow addressed key questions and challenges in pursuing a transsystemic approach to research and teaching administrative law. By outlining some of the moves involved in toggling between state and non-state legal orders in an area of law generally associated with the state, the talk reflected on how a transsystemic approach will address legal principles related to governmental decision-making in Indigenous legal orders, and may also redefine the study of administrative law more generally away from its traditional focus on the principles of judicial review. ; The UVic Graduate Student Law & Society Research Group ; Faculty ; Unreviewed

The main directions of reforming the system of administrative management in Ukraine are investigated in the article. Modern systems of administrative management are analyzed and it is suggested to concentrate on five main directions of improvement of the system of administrative management: 1. Privatization and decentralization of public administration; 2. Reduction of excessive state regulation; 3. Improving the quality of public services; 4. Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of government; 5. Increasing the information openness of the authorities.

Administrative boundaries, which determine the authority and responsibility areas of institutions, is a term that arise from the need for the easier, productive and more successful management of a country. Administrative boundaries have been recorded by a system based on written documents. These documents have frequently been used to find solutions to the problem of administrative boundaries, which is one of the most severe land management problems in Turkey. This problem usually occurs while determining the boundaries of province or town along with dividing a developing and growing village, establishing or removing villages, and mostly while giving rights to the use of lands, such as a forest and pasture, that are under the authority of the state. In addition, administrative boundaries directly affect the cadastral activities, which determine their study areas according to these administrative boundaries. Instead of being solved by the related administrative units, such as the Ministry of Interior, governorates, district governorships, province and local councils, these problems tended to be solved on the cadastre when cadastral works begin. Because of these reasons, the Village legislation enacted in 1924 is insufficient to fit into today's conditions. These deficiencies have indirectly affected cadastral works and sometimes caused some areas to be excluded from working areas and sometimes led to the cessation of the cadastral works.

Purpose
Whether social workers should have a power of entry in cases where individuals seem to be hindering safeguarding enquiries for community-dwelling adults at risk is a topical question in England. The purpose of this paper is to present the findings of a re-examination of relevant sections of the 2012 Government Safeguarding Power of Entry Consultation.


Design/methodology/approach
Re-analysis of responses to question three of the 2012 Government's Safeguarding Power of Entry Consultation was undertaken in late 2015-early 2016. The consultation submissions were located and searched for information on views of the prevalence of the situations where access to an adult at risk (with decision-making capacity) is being hindered by a third party and the nature of examples where a new power of entry might be considered appropriate by consultation respondents.


Findings
The majority of respondents to the consultation generally reported that situations when a new power of entry would be required were not encountered regularly; however a minority of respondents stated these situations occurred more frequently. Examples of situations where third parties appeared to be hindering access were given across the different categories of adults at risk and types of abuse and current practices were described. Respondents observed that the risks of excessive or inappropriate use of any new powers needed to be considered carefully.


Originality/value
This re-analysis sheds light on the prevalence and circumstances of the problems encountered about access to adults at risk. The legal framework of adult safeguarding continues to be of interest to policy makers, researchers and practitioners.
