Abstract: Efficiency of the state agricultural policy is defined with its correlation to the nature of agricultural economy in its objective situation. Due to the above-mentioned reason, the goal of such a policy is to guarantee the symbiosis of subjective and objective elements, to avoid the contractions between them, and to depart from the negative attitude to the natural elements in the agricultural economy. Objectivation of the agricultural policy of the state as a result of its activities in the sphere of agriculture is viewed in this article as a process of cognition and recognition of the objective patterns of nature and society. The modern challenges demand the presence of the political interest of the state in the sphere of agricultural sector, which should be objectivated for the greater efficiency and sustainability of the agricultural production.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the topical problems of decentralization and democratization of the judicial branch of power in the Russian Federation. Based upon the analysis of federal and regional legislation, the author illustrates the positive dynamics in resolving these problems, such as introduction of the institution of non-judicial (preliminary to judicial) dispute regulation among the participants of civil law relations, the new Federal Law “On alternative procedure of dispute resolution with the help of mediator (On Mediation)”, the Federal Law “On Access to Information to the Court Activities in the Russian Federation”, etc. Taking into account the positive experience of the foreign states, the author proposes to apply a number of efficient measures, which are aimed for the improvement of judicial structure and procedure in the Russian Federation. In particular, he finds it necessary to optimize the correlation of federal and regional judicial bodies, to provide legislative guarantees for the more active participation of people in the formation of the judicial corpus, to widen the scope of forms of participation of people in implementation of justice, to spread the practice of non-judicial and preliminary-to-judicial dispute resolution, etc.

Abstract: The article deals with the problem of implementation of right of participants of a judicial process for challenging a particular judge in order to remove him from a process. The author analyzes the modern Russian legislation, which regulates the relations in the sphere of judicial protection of rights and freedoms of an individual, and for the hearing of his case by a just and impartial court. The institution of challenge to a judge is viewed from the point of view of its functional direction, not as a formal norm, but as legal means for correct and timely hearing and adjudication in a civil case. One should mention that this institution is neither logical, nor efficient in its current state in the civil procedure, and the legislation needs to be amended based on the globally recognized legal principles.

In the latter case, one a specific subject appears, which is a credit organization with foreign investments. Foreign credit organizations open their representative offices and participate in the capital of the Russian credit organizations with the foreign investments by permission.

Abstract: The issue of qualification in international private law is fundamental. The doctrine of international private law provides that qualification is complicated due to the specific features of the international private law itself. In turn, complicated character of qualification of non-contractual trans-border obligations by the author is due to the absence of legitimate definition of noncontractual obligations, non-uniform character of this type of obligations, and appearance of new types. In XXI century the qualification of non-contractual trans-border obligations in Russia and in Spain has evolved. For example, in Spain there are provisions for the autonomous qualification of non-contractual trans-border obligations. In Russia the general quali- fication rules under the lex fori have not changed. However, based upon the Draft for the Amendments to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation some types of non-contractual transborder obligation (obligations based on inß iction of harm, obligations based on bad faith negotiations on conclusion of contract and unjust enrichment) due to their close relation may be classified as contractual obligations. Evolution of qualification of non-contractual obligations in the Russian Federation were inß uenced by the following tendencies: the development of the Russian legislation (in particular, Part VI “International Private Law” of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), as well as the tendency for the harmonization of the Russian conß ict of laws norms with the conß ict of laws norms of the EU. In Spain evolution on this matter was based upon the uni- fication of non-contractual trans-border obligations in the EU under the EU Rome II Regulation.

Abstract: More active role of the existing international judicial bodies, growth of their quantity, broadening and renewal of their functions have been especially intensive during the last 20 years. Being a consequence of a change in quality of international justice, this process catalyzes the formation of the system of international judicial bodies, which is not united, but is joined by the tendency for the universalization of the international justice and greater specialization of the international judicial bodies at the same time. The analysis of the current situation requires classification of the international judicial bodies.
