Target

Society consists of social structures and social institutions that are governed
by norms and values. Each individual in a society has specific roles and functions
that are meant to achieve balance in the society. However, the pursuit of interests
generates various conflicts in the society. Competition over resources is often the
source of conflict.

By the end of World War II, various humanitarian issues and crises took
place. More than 6 million was displaced at the end of war. Faced with this large-
scale of humanitarian crisis, international community responded with various
measures including the establishment of the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in 1950.

The large-scale of human predicament show how human rights are being
violated by the institutional actors such as government. This incidence leads to the
creation of state and non-state institutions. These institutions became relevant in
the advent of globalization and urbanization.

In this module, you are going to learn the different forms and functions of
State and Non-State Institutions. Specifically, you are expected to:

a. define state and non-state institution;

b. identify the different forms and functions of state and non-state


institutions;

c. describe the different forms and functions of state and non-state


institutions;

d. describe the inter-relationship of state and non-state institutions.

What is a State?

At the time of the initial development of the modern human rights system,
States were the dominant actors in the international arena.

A state is an organized political community acting under a government and


united by common set of laws. It uses absolute power in directing the path of a
society. It also uses complete political coerciveness, which may come in the form of
armed forces personnel, stricter laws, and rigid government policies in order to
attain its societal goals and objectives.

Market exchange is the primary form of economic subsistence of a state


wherein standardized currencies are being used to exchange commodities.

States differ in sovereignty, governance, geography, and interests. It may be


classified as sovereign if they are not dependent on, or subject to, any other power
or state. Other states are subject to external sovereignty where ultimate sovereignty
lies another state.

The concept of the state is different from the concept of government. A


government is the particular group of people that controls the state at a given time.
In other words, governments are the means through which the state power us
employed like applying the rule of law.

The concept of the state is also different from the concept of a nation, which
refers to a large geographical area, and the people therein who perceives themselves
as having a common identity. The state is a political geopolitical entity; the nation
is a cultural or ethnic entity.

As states consists of actors with varying interests and assertions, social


rules are implemented in the forms of laws. These laws are created to manage the
interaction among individuals and between the individuals and the state. As a
citizen of a country, an individual is subjected to the legal norms in the territory.
These norms may include paying taxes, rendering military services, and
contributing to the political life in the society.

The State intends to be a strong actor in the performance of the three


important political functions. The state, in full form, maintains control over
violence in its domain allocates resources and rewards at its discretion, and stands
as the major focus of identity for the large majority of the people under its
authority.

Elements of the States

The following are the elements of a State:

a. People
It is the people who make the state. Population is essential for the
state. Without population there can be no State.

b. Territory
There can be no state without a fixed territory. People need territory to
live and organize themselves socially and politically. It may be remembered
that the territory of the states includes land, water and air-space.

c. Government
It is the organization or machinery or agency of the State which
makes, implements, enforces and adjudicates the laws of the state.

d. Sovereignty
It is the most exclusive elements of State. Without sovereignty no
state can exist. State has the exclusive title and prerogative to exercise
supreme power over all its people and territory. It is the basis which the
State regulates all aspects of the life of the people living in its territory.

Forms of State Government

States come in a variety of forms that vary on who holds power, how
positions of leadership are obtained, and how authority is maintained.

1. Authoritarian Government
Authoritarian governments differ in who holds power and in how
control they assume over those who govern. The following are examples
of Authoritarian government:

• Monarchy is a form of government in which supreme power is


absolutely lodged with an individual, who is the head of the state,
often for life or until abdication. The person who heads a
monarchy is called a monarch. Some monarchs hold unlimited
political power while many constitutional monarchies, such as the
United Kingdom and Thailand. Currently. 44 nations in the world
have monarchs as head of state.

• Totalitarianism is a political system that strives to regulate nearly


every aspect of public and private life. It theoretically permits no
individual freedom and that seeks to subordinate all aspects of
individual life to the authority of the state. Modern examples of
totalitarian states include the Soviet Union under Joseph

LU_Understanding Culture, Society and Politics_Module7

lOMoARcPSD|13140788

Stalin, Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, the People’s Republic of


China under Mao Zedong, and North Korea under the Kim
Dynasty.

2. Oligarchic Government
An oligarchy is a form of government in which power effectively rests
with a small-elite segment of society distinguished by royalty, wealth, family,
military, or religious hegemony. An oligarchy does not have one clear ruler,
but several powerful people who rule. One common example is theocracy.

• Theocracy is a government by divine guidance or by official who


are regarded as divinely guided. Leaders are members of the
clergy, and the state’s legal system is based on religious law.
Contemporary examples of theocracies include Saudi Arabia, Iran
and the Vatican.

3. Democratic Government
Democracy is a form of government in which the right to governs is
held by the majority of citizens within a country or a state. The two
principles of democracy are that all citizens have equal access to power
and that all citizens enjoy universally recognized freedoms and liberties.
People can either become country leaders through electoral process or
elect leaders who represent the core values and beliefs. There are 99
democratic nations globally. Examples of democratic nations are
Philippines, Norway, New Zealand, United States of America, Canada,
Columbia, Italy, and South Africa.

Roles of the States

The following are the roles of States; but not limited to:

1. State provides security against external aggressions and war. For this
purpose, the state maintains an army.
2. State ensures security against internal disturbances disorders and
crimes. For this purpose, the state maintains police.
3. State legally grants and guarantees the rights of the people.

The two most well-known financial institutions that are actively


shaping the socioeconomic development of the Philippines are the World
Bank and the Asian Development Bank. They have been providing financial
aid to the Philippine government and various nongovernmental organization
(NGOs) to facilitate their development objectives.

✓ Corporations
A form of business operation that declares the business as a separate
entity guided by a group of officers known as the Board of Directors. They
were created by individuals, stockholders or shareholders, with the purpose
of operating for profit. They have all legal rights of an individual, except for
the right to vote and certain limitations. They are given the right to exist by
the state that issues their charter. Corporation example includes General
Motors Corporation an icon of American craftsmanship, Apple Corporation
as one of the famous tech companies, Amazon Corporation founded by Jeff
Bezos is the world’s leading e-commerce and innovation company, Domino’s
Pizza is a global food chain company delivering quality food worldwide.

Common Types of Corporations

A corporation can be created by a single shareholder or by multiple


shareholders who come together to pursue common goal. A corporate can be
formed as a for-profit or a non-for-profit entity.

• For-profit entities form the majority of corporations, and they are


formed to generate revenues and provide a return to their
shareholders, according to their percentage of ownership in the
corporation. Examples: HBO in partnership with International
Rescue Committee, Ford Motors and Lynda.com.
• Not-for-profit entities operate under the category of charitable
organizations, which are dedicated to a particular social cause
such as educational, religious, scientific, or research purposes.
Rather than distribute revenues to shareholders, not-for-profit
organizations use their revenues to further their objectives.

• Human Rights Campaign is a very impressive example of


using Facebook profile photos to spread the word far
and wide about campaign. Greenpeace the
environmental non-profit used GPS technology to
inform the public about their cause.
• Multinational Corporations (MNCs) are business
organization that extends ownership, management,
production, and sales activities into several or more
countries. MNCs are boon to the economic growth and
development of the states.

✓ Cooperatives

Cooperatives are people-centers enterprises owned, controlled and


run by and for their members to realize their common economic, social, and
cultural needs and aspirations.

Cooperatives are businesses governed on the principle of one member,


one vote. There are several common types of co-ops, including cooperatives
owned and operated by:

• The people working there (worker cooperatives);


• The people buying the co-op’s goods or services (consumer
cooperatives)
• The people collaborating to process and market their products
(producer cooperatives); and
• Groups uniting to enhance their purchasing power (purchasing
cooperatives)

lOMoARcPSD|13140788

Cooperatives play a critical role in building community wealth for


several key reasons:

• They often provide quality goods and services to areas that have
been shunned by traditional businesses because they are deemed
less profitable.
• They typically invest in local communities
• Since most cooperative members are local residents, business
profits remain and circulate in the community
• Cooperative membership builds social networks and strengthens
social cohesion which are essential elements of a strong, healthy
communities by connecting diverse community residents
• Purchasing cooperatives help small, local businesses remains
competitive within markets dominated by large, national retailers
• Worker cooperatives create quality, empowering jobs for
community members

✓ Trade Unions/Labor Unions

Trade Unions are organizations formed by workers from related fields


that work for common interest of its members. They help workers in issues
like fairness of pay, good working environment, hours of work and benefits.
They represent a cluster of workers and provide a link between the
management and workers.

The purpose of these unions is to look into the grievances of wagers


and present a collective voice in front of the management. It acts as the
medium of communication between the workers and management. Among
these trade unions that exist in the Philippines are the Federation of Free
Workers (FFW), Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU) and the Trade Union Congress of
the Philippines (TUCP).

Functions of Trade Unions:


o Advocating for fairness and equality for workers’
compensations.
o Securing better working conditions for workers.
o Trade Unions will organize strikes and demonstrations on
behalf of worker demands.
o Fight for social welfare for workers.
o Promote and advocate for education and proper training for

o Involved in collective bargaining agreements and disputes with


management to settle any conditions on employment.
o Advising management on correct personnel policies and
procedures.
o Involved in collective and personal collective grievances
between management and workers.

✓ Transnational Advocacy Groups

Transnational Advocacy Groups (TAGs) play an increasingly important


role in international and regional politics, and have contributed to changing
policies of multilateral organizations and states. They are particularly visible
in contentious areas as human rights, environmental issues, international
peace, and women’s rights. They have specific roles to partake that can be
achieved through effective measures, case-specific methods, and activities.
TAGs serve as international catalysts for change, aiming to achieve
international changes towards policies and practices. The very essence of
TAGS is the formation and development of their advocacies and campaigns
that represent causes, ideas, values, and beliefs.

Human Rights Watch and Amnesty are active in the human rights
field. Oxfam and Save children deal with humanitarian issues. Greenpeace
and Friends of the Earth represent environmental concerns.

✓ Development Agencies

Development Agencies have been established to develop the


cooperation between the public sector, private sector and civil society. These
are organizations with specific aims and goals. The common denominator
among these organization is the term development. These agencies
concentrate on the growth. Progression, and advancement of specific
concerns, which can be infrastructure or social institutions.

Types of Development Agencies:


International Organization is an institution with membership drawn from
two or more countries. Its activities transcend national boundaries as it facilitates
cooperation among its members in the performance of one or more tasks. The
international organization can be public or private. A public organization is an
international government organization (IGO) with states as its members. Prominent
examples of IGOs are United Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO), International Monetary Fund (IMF), European Union (EU), Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and World Health Organization (WHO). A private
organization has a membership of individuals or groups and is an international
nongovernment organization (INGO) that originate for reasons other than politics
such as International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol). INGOs may lobby or
work regularly with the government and IGOs.

Nongovernment Organization is a non-profit group that functions


independently of any government. It serves the social or political goals such as
humanitarian and environmental causes. Most NGOs aim to promote the practice
of democracy among societies and social change through their initiatives and
organizational methods. Many NGOs have targeted their efforts toward population
groups that tend to be underserved by governmental programs, including women,
the aged, physically and mentally disabled persons, the poor, and various social
groups that have been marginalized by virtue of race, religion, ethnicity, caste, and
social class.

Interrelationship of Government and Non-State Institutions

Government rules society. This reflects how powerful government institution


can be. If non-state institutions interfere with the governing body, two possible
things can happen:

o Integration among these two institutions may take place to achieve


precise solution towards development.
o Conflict and tension may also arise because one could exceed the other
in terms of societal control and influences (Penninx, 2013)

Activity 1: If I were a lawmaker. Pretend to be a lawmaker and read the following


situations below. Identify whether or not social inequality is present on each
situation. If it does, suggest ways on how to address it. If it does not, justify the
claim for equality.

1. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost all aspects of human life. In the
early period of the pandemic in the Philippines, there were some reported
incidences that some wealthy and influential people have immediate and instant
access in COVID-19 testing services under government affiliated agencies.
However, the rest of the general public have difficulty to have access in such
kind of health services. As a lawmaker, what can be done to avoid social
inequality in this scenario?

3. In Mindanao, the southernmost and second largest of the Philippines’ islands,


six of the 10 regions are among the top 10 nationally in terms of poverty rates,
with between 25 and 40 percent of families living in utter poverty. Nationwide,
the 30 most deprived provinces are home to more than one-third of the
Philippines’ poorest families, resulting in generational poverty that is incredibly
difficult to emerge from. (Child Fund International).
