The genesis of integration processes at the micro-, meso- and macro-levels of modern activities of business entities indicates the presence of conceptually new levels of development based on the active use of resource potential, intellectual capital and digital transformation. Practice shows that instability in certain markets affects the complementary segments of the socioeconomic space and necessitates the search for ways of interaction that allow them to function as a single “organism” to achieve a synergistic effect and aggregate strengthening of resistance to external determinants. The social and economic ecosystem is a peculiar structure of synergistic interaction between the authorities, business, technological leaders and socio-economic subjects of the region. In the conditions of uneven development of territories, it becomes necessary in the process of making management decisions to rely on the existing communities of economic agents based on the system theory. The use of the theory of socio-economic ecosystems contributes to the elimination of disparate management processes, the achievement of strategic goals of the socio-economic development of the region. Within the framework of the systematic approach, trends and patterns of development of socio-economic ecosystems are presented. The main tasks of a socio-economic ecosystem are to implement best practices to meet the daily needs of the elements of this ecosystem. Since the ecosystem is located in time and space, then it has historical, geographic, ethnic, political and economic boundaries. In our study, we will rely on the economic and territorial boundaries of the ecosystem

Abstract This study aims to explore the relation between metacognitive competences, implicit theories of intelligence and school achievement among lower secondary students. The group of participants included 120 students from Iași County, with different socio-economic backgrounds. Participants completed two measures, Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (Schraw & Dennison, 1994) and Implicit Theories of Intelligence Questionnaire (Dweck, 2000). School achievement was defined as annual average grades, and family socio-economic background was self-reported. Students from socio-economic disadvantaged families scored lower for metacognitive competence, and self-reported fixed mindset beliefs, in contrast with students with favourable socio-economic family background. Therewith, metacognitive competences and implicit theories of intelligence are significant predictors of school achievement.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the evidence and impact of the EU integration between 1999 and 2009 on the EU regional economic growth and the socio-economic convergence. A regional convergence analysis is performed in order to examine if the EU overall aim of convergence is reached. The main growth- and convergence theories are used as the theoretical framework and form the study's hypothesis. The results show that an absolute β-convergence exists between the EU member states as well as regions. However, the σ-convergence is not confirmed, meaning that that the disparities between the regions are rather increasing than decreasing. Perhaps a possible reason why the σ-convergence does not occur at the EU level is that it is easier for smaller regions which are more similar to each other to converge than for larger regions which tend to be more dissimilar to each other. This reasoning is in line with the convergence theories which state that smaller regions within a country are more likely to converge towards each other in the absolute sense than countries. On the other hand, the EU countries and regions tend to convergence in the tasks like unemployment rate, showing that they are not successful in resolving this difficult task. One of the main reasons of the high unemployment in all EU member states is their structural problem in the respective economies, consequently reflected in the long-term unemployment. The EU countries tend to convergence in terms of inequality as well, showing that they are egalitarian in character.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of trust is considered as a psychological and sociological phenomenon. Numerous theories have been developed to achieve economic development and to increase the level of welfare. The theories have not always revealed the expected results due to ignoring human behavior. Behavioral models addressing human behavior have gained importance in recent years. Thus, it was seen that emotions and thoughts were effective in creating different economic decisions. One of the factors affecting decisions is also trust. The aim of the study is to clarify the effects of the concept of trust on socio-economic life with different perspectives. When the literature is examined; There are concepts such as (i) social trust and (ii) economic trust. These concepts are related closely with some topics such as marketing and business, finance and economics. Some positive results are expected from the climate of trust. (i) With the establishment of appropriate communication between individuals, some social problems and their costs are reduced. (ii) The development of business-customer relations is beneficial for both sides. (iii) With the positive relations between fund providers and fund seekers in financial markets, financial institutions work more effectively and the markets grow. (iv) Financial growth also triggers economic growth and development. (v) Economic trust, as a measure of future assessments, increases economic activities. The study collectively evaluates the effect of the concept of trust in different areas. The findings show what kind of legal arrangements should be made by policy makers in different areas in order to increase the trust of people.

The basic economic category that is analysed in modern economy is growth. Referring this phenomenon to socio-economic space, the problem of its uniformity arises. In spatial development concepts, it is assumed to self-align this phenomenon (neoliberal concepts) or to force it through interventionism (Keynesian concepts). However, phenomena such as polarization and convergence occur in all considerations. These phenomena are perceived differently in diverse theories and doctrines, which is the reason they have different meanings and expectations

The increasing importance of the Russian regions in increasing the efficiency of socio-economic development of the country actualizes scientific research on the balanced development of the regional economy and spatial coherence of economic processes. Within the framework of regional studies, both traditional and classical theories and new theoretical approaches to the problems of regional development are systematized and typologized. The article presents a fragmentary review of new theories and concepts of regional growth, including: the concept of sustainable development, cluster concept, the concept of "smart specialization", regional foresight, paradigms of studying the region as a quasi-state, quasi-Corporation, market area and region-society. The attention is focused on the theories of regional development cyclicity and studies related to the analysis of economic dynamics. The conclusion is made about the need for further research on the problems of interregional cooperation and the formation of regions as subjects of the common economic space.

The main aim of this article is to present industrial revolutions and their socio-economic consequences for the development of economics as a science. Special attention is given to showing the main characteristics of each revolution and presenting major changes in economic theories. The authors argue that the full picture of all shifts in economics, society and lives of individuals can be only visible from a long-term perspective. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the stage and the consequences of the current fourth industrial revolution for socio-economic development and evolution of economic theories.

The purpose of the article is to generalize theoretical approaches to defining the essence of balanced rural development through the prism of the evolution of theories of spatial and inclusive development and the concept of sustainable eco-socio-economic growth. Research methods. The methodological basis of the research was general scientific and economic research methods, scientific works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists on sustainable rural development and the evolution of scientific thought regarding this problem. In particular, the research used the following methods: abstract-logical (when proposing a hypothesis, making generalizations, formulating conclusions and proposals); analysis and synthesis (in the study of the evolution of theories of spatial and inclusive development and the concept of sustainable eco-socio-economic growth); induction and deduction (to study the essence of the category of balanced rural development). Research results. The evolution of the main economic theories of sustainable rural development, which, developing gradually according to the laws of dialectics, inherited the scientific developments and predictions of scientists of several generations, is revealed. Scientific novelty. Scientific approaches to the interpretation of the category "sustainable development of rural areas" were further developed, which was proposed to be understood as a process of improving the level and quality of life of the rural population, which, in turn, contributes to a variety of types of agricultural and non-agricultural activities, productive employment, diversification of incomes of rural households and filling budgets of local communities, social protection of residents, modern infrastructural development of the settlement network, preservation and enhancement of soil fertility, protection of landscapes and biological diversity. Practical significance. The study of the theories of spatial economics, inclusive growth and sustainable development can be-come in the future a scientific and methodological basis for the balanced (sustainable) development of rural areas, which will contribute to the restoration of human-centered socio-economic and ecological equilibrium in conditions of destabilizing internal and external factors.

Full textAbstract:
Corporate governance (CG) fosters dynamic economic growth through managing stakeholder interest and reducing the cost of capital which ultimately lead towards the development of financial markets and better firm performance. Recently, regulators and policy makers around the world either have revised extensively or introduced new laws, codes and listing regulations to enhance effectiveness and transparency of corporate governance practices. Established economic theories were already aware of the significance of corporate governance for development and economic growth. This study assesses the link between corporate governance, socio-economic factors and economic growth through a consistent literature review. A majority of studies show a positive effect of corporate governance on economic growth of a country through stock market development. Moreover, theoretical and empirical research reveals that socio-economic factors are also a pivotal determinant of corporate governance mechanisms. This study summarizes the key findings and concludes that dynamic and flexible corporate governance system claims more demand as compared to rigorous corporate governance principles especially in emerging countries. This study also finds the need of methodological advancement in corporate governance research. Nevertheless, the social economic factors, political and legal system of the country should be blended in introduction and adaption of corporate governance system. The regulators and policy makers can use theoretical grounds of study for reforms of the corporate governance system.

AbstractWhen the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) released a letter in early 2012 addressing the financial and economic crises, it was long overdue. Finally, and around four and a half years after the crises began, the body responsible for monitoring those rights that had been most severely impacted had spoken. But what had been said? This article examines the alterations to the doctrine of non-retrogression that the 2012 Letter instigated. It does so by reference to the ‘Business as Usual’ and ‘accommodation’ theories of emergency response. The Letter to States is argued to have taken the Committee away from an approach to non-retrogression that treated times of normality and emergency in a similar way, and towards an approach that allows derogation-style deviations from the Covenant. This, it is argued, could have detrimental effects for the protection of economic and social rights. The difficulties in applying such an approach are considered.

Full textAbstract:
Institutionalism went through a difficult historical path of its development, went through several stages, each of which was accompanied by the renewal of methodology and theoretical foundations. Consistently at each stage, a corresponding independent direction arose: old institutionalism, new institutionalism (new institutional economics) and neoinstitutionalism (neoinstitutional economics). Modern institutionalism is a qualitatively new direction of economic thought, based on the theoretical principles of economic analysis of the neoclassical school in terms of identifying trends in the development of the economy, as well as the methodological tools of the German historical school in the approach to the study of socio-psychological problems of the development of society.

Full textAbstract:
Tax compliance is an issue that can be traced back to the introduction of taxes, which is the reason such compliance remains a significant topic in the current literature of academia and practice. Prior studies on the topic of tax compliance or non-compliance can be categorized into two, namely economic and social/psychological theories. In a more serious note, tax evasion has remained a key issue among governments all over the globe, with Jordan being no exception. Jordan has undertaken different fiscal measures to increase compliance in the domestic front in the past decades, but based on annual reports, the country is still experiencing a considerable increase in net public debt and fiscal deficit that can be traced back to the increased tax non-compliance rate. This is specifically true in the case of sales tax in Jordan. To compound the matter further, literature concerning the determinants of sales tax compliance as well as other determinants that drive non-compliance is still scarce, with a universal tax compliance model able to explain the issue with clarity still being elusive. Hence, this work proposed the determinants of sales tax compliance in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Jordan, extending Fischer’s model of tax compliance, and adding the moderating role of tax knowledge and direct effect of tax service quality. This study proposed a model encapsulating the social, psychological and economic factors to provide insight into the sales tax compliance of Jordanian SMEs.

Abstract The scientific aim of the paper is to juxtapose the views on economic order developed by the leading representatives of two schools of liberal thinking – German ordoliberal Walter Eucken and the Austrian economist Friedrich August von Hayek. The first scholar opted for deliberately constructed competitive economic order, the second one advocates for allowing the social institutions to emerge and evolve spontaneously. The analysis proves the similarity of both theories in regard to the significance of principles of an economic order and the importance of competition for maintaining individual freedom. On the other hand some differences in the areas of sources of rules, institutional change, and the role of the state, induce their complementarity. Developing an intellectual basis for economic policy requires an eclectic approach combining two analysed perspectives.

Fashion conscious people allocate a large part of their budget on a latest fashion. The present study assessed the socio-economic and psychological factors that play significant role in fashion consciousness. A convenient sample of 200 individuals (men=100 and women=100) of age between 22 and 44 years from Multan, Pakistan was taken to study the correlates of fashion consciousness. The estimates of ordinary least square showed that education, monthly income, materialism, and media exposure had significant positive impact, and price consciousness had significant negative impact on fashion consciousness of the sample, which partially support consumption theories (e.g., Absolute Income Hypothesis’ and ‘Relative Income Hypothesis). The study has implications for both consumers and producers.
Key Words: Fashion consciousness, materialism, price consciousness, absolute income hypothesis, relative income hypothesis

This study applied exploratory-descriptive design, to determine the implication of Khat consumption on the household economy. The study was guided by both structural functionalism and conflict theories. The target population were families whose members consume Khat of which a sample of 350 respondents was obtained using snowball technique. Structured questionnaires were administered and analysed quantitatively and focus group discussions were thematically analyzed through narrative and verbatim. The study found that Khat consumption was widely accepted by all age groups and that the number of days Khat was consumed, the variety of Khat consumed, highest level of education attained by the consumer, employment status and income had negative effects on the household economy. There was a significant association between household economy and marital status (p = 0.006) as well as employment status (p < 0.0001). Khat regulation was preferred as well as community sensitization on the implication of Khat consumption.

The stages of development of the world economy and the peculiarities of the functioning of countries in the world, which are inherent in different time periods, are: changes in trends, emergence and increase of socio-economic and socio-political contradictions, importance of certain key factors for the formation of a policy of managing territorial development under different conditions, all this has led to the emergence of a number of spatial development theories. The authors of theories and models of spatial development considered the development of territories from the point of view of a wide range of factors of influence: geographical, administrative, economic, social, political, innovative, etc., characteristic of different time periods. An effective management of territorial development in modern conditions is becoming relevant in terms of the need not only to solve existing problems, but also to expand opportunities for self-development of territories. The implementation of theoretical provisions of spatial development theories has found a practical reflection in different historical periods of the economy of different countries. Theories of spatial development form the basis of the methodology of public administration, which determines the principles, directions of formation and ways to ensure the functioning of organizational structures and relevant mechanisms, models of development and management, approaches to the use of resources, etc. With the help of spatial theories one explains and anticipates trends, develops models and mechanisms of territorial development, forms instruments for their practical implementation. Due to the importance, complexity and interdependence with a whole range of socio-political, socio-economic, ecological and other processes, the issues of theoretical approaches to the formation and functioning of the optimal model of spatial development constantly remain in the field of view of researchers and practitioners of the world, which further determines the prospects and relevance of studying the defined topic.

This article attempts to provide the reader an analysis of why entrepreneurship levels among indigenous Africans are low by specifically using socio-cultural theories. Traditional views of entrepreneurship have emphasised psychological and economic models. Although these views explain entrepreneurial activity, neither can explain it holistically. The sociocultural theoretical approach takes into account differences among societies and cultures in explaining entrepreneurial activity. The choice of this theoretical perspective and the specific theories highlighted is rationalised in the first section of this paper. The paper covers five main socio-cultural theories namely: Weber´s Protestant ethic, Hagen´s withdrawal of status, social mobility, marginality and role models. A model is then conceptualised, incorporating the different variables affecting entrepreneurship as identified from the above-mentioned theories and using the Black South Africans as a case illustration.

- This paper deals with the risk of opportunism the usual risk in economic exchanges. Breach of contract is probably the most common event in daily life and has therefore attracted research and debates in many disciplines of the social sciences. This discussion deals with the current knowledge of the ways in which societies are coping with the risk of opportunism, distinguishing between three approaches with ascending degrees of complexity: theories of institutional support of contractual exchanges, theories of relational trust and theories of social systems of trust. As demonstrated in Fig. 1 these theories are chosen among many other competing approaches. Rather than being replaced by institutional economics or economic sociology, socio-legal knowledge is a necessary and valuable ingredient for theories of contractual risk. Without our knowledge of the protection of property rights in a particular society, of choices between formal and informal modes of conflict resolution made by business people or consumers, of obstacles in court proceedings and of problems when a lawyer is consulted, our neighbour disciplines come to either over-optimistic conclusions as regards institutional trust or to oversimplified models as regards personal trust and relationships.

The purpose of this article is to establish the contextual environment of the concept of "crisis" in economic and socio-philosophical context.
To achieve objectives the methods are used to estimate economic models and theories on the basis of socio-philosophical approach.
As a result of the conclusions that are logically correct term "crisis" is only possible in local areas of knowledge, and a comprehensive interpretation of the crises is not productive. In the Russian context special direction of research crises dominates - in the framework of anti-crisis enterprise management.
Partial conclusions and recommendations of economic science in relation to crises do not meet the criteria reentrancy for different socio – economic conditions or types of objects. Diagnosis of the crisis confirms the ambiguity of findings regarding a crisis situation.
Relative to global economic theories given the conclusion that the challenges to anticipate and overcome the crisis cannot be solved within existing economic theory methods.
Development of mathematical apparatus, the introduction in the model of logical and qualitative indicators, the construction of behavioral models developed understanding of socio-economic systems and processes. But it is not allowed to create a universal economic theory of sustainable development and crises. The effectiveness of local approaches and global insolvency is discovered. Conclusion: in the framework of economic theory there cannot be formulated the minimum and sufficient set of consistent axioms required for solving problems of crisis.
Partial conclusion is made that the main issue of crisis management is the question of ownership of the company, as well as its obligations to external agents.
The scope of the results – socio-economic system, crisis management.

Full textAbstract:
A new approach to understanding socio- economic development is proposed, based on consideration of the evolution of coordination mechanisms. The work consists of two parts. In the first part, a critical analysis of four recently proposed theories of development, focusing on geographical, institutional, or cultural factors, is given. These theories have greatly enriched our understanding of the evolution of society. However, as our analysis shows, none of them provides a satisfactory description of the driving forces and mechanisms of this evolution; the main reason is rooted in their common shortcoming — monocausality. It is proposed to distinguish between two types of development, catching-up and leading one. Basic ideas of the theory of catching-up development are presented. It explains the phenomenon of the “economic miracle” as a result of mutually conditioned changes in culture, institutions, technological progress and well-being in the context of interaction of competition, power and collaboration mechanisms. The second part is devoted to the theory of leading socio-economic development.

The objective of an Eriksonian analysis of terrorism is not to discard other theories, but to build on them, addressing their limitations through a personality development analysis which seeks to examine the susceptibility or eventual radicalization of an individual. So, while the concept attests to various socio-economic and political theories underpinning terrorism, it examines how these theories exposes the weaknesses of identity through a psychosocial analysis of personality development. The crux of the theory is therefore to examine reasons underlying the paths to radicalization from an intra-personal perspective largely influenced by one's immediate social conditions. The basic questions are therefore: Why do individuals of the same socio-economic and political pressure respond differently to the “pressures of radicalization”? Recommendations after the study includes; the concept of an integrating highly segregated extremist communities, a concept called “The Melting Pot”, revaluating teaching and learning models of Islamic Institutions offering Islamic studies.

The study will focus on the evaluation of social indicators (indicators of population, unemployment rate, employment rate, etc.) and economic development in view of the socio-economic stability of Kosovo. The impact of the financial resources of pension funds in the quality of payment of pension annuities will be presented as key factors in the socio-economic stability of Kosovo. The research question is "How does the human potential, respectively employment or economic development in pension funds, impact on the sustainability of Kosovo's pension system". The theoretical basis of this study will focus on the study of human resources, employment theories and theories of economic development. Methods that help the study of this problem include the extraction of indicators to provide information which serves to measure the factors that indicate the point of crossing the threshold of socio-economic stability. The key finding of the analysis is the impact of human resource potential in the economic development of Kosovo and its impact on the sustainability of the pension system in Kosovo. From the results obtained conclusions will be drawn on the assessment of current economic development, the proper use of human resources, the assets of pension funds and employment requirements. From a critical evaluation connected to this theme, the findings will serve to make the necessary suggestions for changes and improvement of the problem.

Full textAbstract:
Economic backwardness is a global problem that causes a number of socio-economic troubles, increases social tension and reduces the effectiveness of functioning of social institutions of the country in general. A new period of global uncertainty and the unfolding of the economic crisis along with the subsequent recession associated with the reduction of economic activity as a result of the pandemic makes it relevant to look for ways of restoring the economic growth for every country of the world. Under these conditions, studies of chronic economic backwardness of a country and its falling into the «backwardness trap», which is based on a number of theories and conceptions that consider various aspects of the socio-economic development of the country, become specially relevant. The article is aimed at forming a theoretical grounds for studying the problem of country falling into the «backwardness trap», which is based on a generalization of the essence and basic ideas of theories and conceptions that explore the processes of socio-economic development of the countries over the world. The studies, dedicated to identifying and systematizing the factors that inhibit the socio-economic development of the country, display a certain evolution. At the first stage there was a search for a key factor of economic backwardness of the country (J. Keynes, H. Singer, R. Prebisch, H. Leibenstein, etc.). The second stage was devoted to the search for relationships between several key factors (R. Nurkse, R. Lucas, H. Uzava, etc.). At the third stage of the research, a detailed study of institutional factors inhibiting economic development was carried out (B. Knall, Th. Bethell, etc.). At the fourth stage, there was a deepening of research in the direction of developing a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach to the problems of formation of the «backwardness trap» (A. Danylenko, G. Bashnyanin, Y. Savelyev, R. Nureyev, etc.). The theoretical basis of the research on the trap of economic backwardness of the country is characterized by the presence of a significant number of theories and conceptions that generalize the common features of countries whose economies develop at a low rate compared to developed economies or enter into a state of prolonged stagnation, as well as the factors contributing to the crystallization of such a state.

The specialized literature stressed very little or not at all the role of the growth poles in the economic integration, although the development of the national economies depend on connecting the major urban centers in the regional economic system, continental and global levels. Conversely, integration and globalization of the economic, socio-political, cultural and the transition to a knowledge economy seem to be major factors in the transformation and restructuring of the growth poles and the urban systems dependent on them.

Complex networks methodology has permeated the spheres of knowledge that deal with heterogeneous networks, introduced by Actor-Network Theory. In the context, cognition of macro socio-economic processes that have determinants, different in ontological sense, does not seem to be so efficient. The author addresses the twofold complexity of these phenomena. The author identifies different types of macro socio-economic complexity as various combinations of ontological and intrinsic network heterogeneities. Extant networks theories are classified in accordance with a particular type of complexity, with which they deal, and thereby the real background of these theories is revealed. The concept of twofold complexity and its types is applied to the economic category of value. The near-term prospects for the creation of Networks Economics are hypothesized. Networks Economics is viewed on as a theory of preferential attachment value interacting with the non-network mode of value.

It reveals the progressiveness of his ideas of studying Russian in overcoming socio-economic inequalities in comparison with the Kazakhs, the Russians, the Uzbeks, and the Tatars. Comparative analysis of Abai’s economic ideas with economic theories of Adam Smith and Karl Marx shows the limitations of Abai’s ideas. The lack of goods production has left a definite imprint on Abai’s ideas.In modern Kazakhstan, Abai’s ideas received new qualitative development in overcoming socio-economic inequalities of the people of Kazakhstan in the world.

Introduction:Recent equity review guidance encourages reviewers to consider whether it is likely that their findings may impact on health inequalities. Much of the guidance assumes that health inequalities have either already been identified as the focus of the review, or that reviewers are able to recognize if and how health inequalities matter. However, our experience is that this is not necessarily true. Furthermore, theorizing if and how health inequalities matter is not normally integrated into the HTA review process. This presentation describes a novel approach to the development of a theory-led meta-framework to inform health inequality considerations in systematic reviews. The meta-framework aims to increase the usefulness of systematic reviews in informing and implementing changes to practice.Methods:Following the best-fit framework synthesis approach, a meta-framework was generated by ‘deconstituting’ concepts from theories relating to complex interventions and socio-economic health inequalities into a single framework. Feedback was sought from health inequality experts and reviewers.Results:Complex intervention theories identify four domains and key factors that may influence effectiveness; intervention design, implementation, context and participant response. Applying an equity lens, socio-economic health inequality theories identify key factors and mechanisms associated with these domains that may lead to differential effects across disadvantaged populations.Conclusions:The meta-framework has the potential to i) facilitate the identification and understanding of when, why and how interventions may impact on socio-economic health inequalities, ii) promote a theory-led approach to incorporating health inequalities in systematic reviews iii) help reviewers identify data to extract and inform a priori analysis on what factors are associated with differential effects, iv) help reviewers to decide whether it is likely that their review findings may have the potential for an intervention to indirectly widen or narrow socio-economic health inequalities, even when evidence of an impact in the primary research is lacking.

Full textAbstract:
Companies and business managers know about social media as a phenomenon and its power as a business tool. In various earlier researches many viewpoints, theories and models on online behaviour of individual consumers have been put across and build upon from time to time. However, keeping in mind the exponential growth in digital transactions in India, the digital platform managers of various companies are still data hungry and want data analytics to be done to understand various parameters affecting consumer black box. The focus of this study is on comparison of the psychological and socio-economic factors which affect the behaviour of individual user on social media. A model is proposed here by integrating psychological factors, social media behaviour elements and economic factors, and efforts to predict the impact for the social media usage are made. This research contributes by broadening the paradigm of various learning theories and predicts the online social media usage attitude development factors. This study in particular presents a different point of view about online social media behaviour by examining the effect of psychological and socio-economic elements and the moderating role of individual characteristics. It is an attempt by authors to empirically integrate and understand empirically, and draw a comparison between the impact of psychological and socio-economic factors that influence the consumers’ social media behaviour elements depending on their ability to affect the consumer’s attitude.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The overall purpose of this paper is to detect spatial, temporal, sectoral, thematic and other patterns or transitions in techno-socio-economic evolution that are likely to co-determine future development and allow the steering of it. The development of a “Global Change Data Base” (GCDB) promises a graphically and geographically oriented tool for the representation of correlations for global long-term data series. Design/methodology/approach – A literature analysis supports the interpretation of such “pattern recognitions”, especially the literature in the areas of economic growth, systems analysis, energy economics, social indicators and quality of life. Preconditions for economic growth are empirically analysed on a sectoral level along with prevailing structural shifts in the use of energy sources. Findings – The main outcome is a distillate of a few formative “paths of development”, according to a synthesis of to-date growth theories. These lines might influence development in future decades and co-determine the degree to which sustainability targets are met. Debates and discussion procedures make use of such findings and outline modes of actions. Practical implications – Developmental university curricula such as “Global Studies”, democratisation endeavours based on analyses of economic performance of (partly) democratic systems or global governance of science could profit from a consensus on global trends patterns, similar to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change endeavour at the United Nations level. Social implications – Such heuristic methods could suitably mediate (in “multicultural” manner) between contradictory paradigms of global economic development that are mainly ideology-driven and hamper global society’s joint action. Originality/value – In short, this is an empirical work on pattern recognition in global evolution using aggregated spatially and temporally enabled data. It refers to the historic example of Kon-Tiki which undertook a surprisingly long journey based on precise knowledge of ocean currents and wind without applying own force.

Full textAbstract:
Using survey data collected from a larger comparative survey project employing a multistage, stratified, random sampling design administered in 1994, this article analyzes the gender gap in political culture and participation in China. We found a persistent gender difference, with male respondents scoring significantly higher on media attention, political knowledge, interest, internal, and external efficacy, and non-electoral participation. In accounting for the gender gap, the article also attempts to validate the prevailing socialization, situational, and structural theories. In terms of socialization theory, we found that women respondents were more passive towards achievement, more accommodating in conflict situations, and had a higher preference for conflict mediation by traditional authority. These traits were also found to be negatively correlated with political culture and participation measures. There is also empirical support for structural explanations, where we found that (1) higher socio-economic groups were more politically engaged than those in the lower strata; (2) higher socio-economic status women are more politically engaged than those of lower socio-economic status women and men. For both socialization and structural theories, the gender gap persisted even when passivity and socio-economic status were controlled. Our tests of situation theory did not find that the level of domestic burden had a significant dampening effect on women political culture and participation, nor did we find that women in the child-bearing and rearing cohort had the widest gender gap in political culture and participation.

Nativism is conceptually different from xenophobia. A xenophobe is not necessarily a nativist. Nativism can broadly mean binarism and racism together. This study traces the history of American politicians’ nativist rhetoric and its reflection on the life of the immigrants. In the United States, nativism has largely been a part of the leaders’ political and cultural agendas and motivated the Black-White racial binarism. Moreover, nativism continues to second this binarism and secure it from criticism by projecting it as a high level of nationalism. This paper investigates, firstly, how the nativist speech influences common man; and secondly, how the life of the immigrants is affected by this discourse. This study contrasts with many dominant theories, which hypothesize that American political discourse is controlled by the elites and directed by their nativist agendas. This study, however, finds that American political discourse is subject to the nativist pride of common white citizens who share this anima with the elites.

This article aims to critically engage the representation of Sayyid Quṭb as the pioneer of modern Jihadism. It will do so by casting light on his social and economic theories as elaborated in the first half of the 50s, focusing on a pamphlet published in 1951 with the title “The Battle between Islam and Capitalism.” The purpose of this article is to present the content of the pamphlet in the context of the historical and intellectual landscape of its time, as well as showing how it is part of Quṭb’s body of thought as a whole. The intention is to show how, in a post-colonial world dominated by the Cold War, Quṭb presents Islam as the “Third Way” that combines the qualities and the advantages of communism and capitalism without sharing their faults. A system that, as this article is meant to demonstrate, shares many similarities with Nasserism, the socialist, anti-imperialist ideology elaborated by Quṭb’s archenemy, Ǧamāl ʿAbd al-Nāṣer.

Full textAbstract:
The smartphone is perhaps one of the few items that can define our time in terms of its ubiquity and mobility. The photographic feature of various types of smartphones has also drawn the attention of consumers and manufacturers in recent years, with the consecutive upgrades of built-in cameras, photo-editing and sharing apps. From the taking, retouching, to publishing a photograph, smartphone photography, coupled with social media, has become important in understanding the relationships between digital image and sociality, aesthetics and identity. This article examines several new developments such as the rise of ‘professional amateurs’ and the selfie within the Chinese context. It then attempts to develop theories of smartphone photography that incorporate these developments. Using ethnographic analysis and interviews, this article aims to theorize smartphone photography as a series of practices that reveal local and individual specifications that traverse technicity, sociality and aesthetics. It shows how this has had a significant impact on Chinese people’s economic and social life.

Gadjah Mada International Journal of Business 14, no. 3 (November 27, 2012): 213. http://dx.doi.org/10.22146/gamaijb.5454.
Full textAbstract:
Creative industries tend to cluster in specific places and the reasons for this phenomenon can be a multiplicity of elements linked mainly to culture, creativity, innovation and local development. In the international literature, it is pretty well recognized that creativity is frequently characterized by the agglomeration of firms so that creative industries are not homogeneously distributed across the territory but they are concentrated in the space. Three theories are becoming the dominant theoretical perspectives in agglomeration economies theory and they are increasingly being applied in industrial clusters analysis to study the effect of clustering industries. The theories are Marshall’s theoretical principles of localization economies, Schmitz’s collective efficiency and Porter’s five-diamond approach. However, those have adequately theorized neither the institutionalization process through which change takes place nor the socio-economic context of the institutional formations of clustering creative industries. This text begins by reviewing three main theories to more fully articulate institutionalization processes of an economic institution. Specifically, this paper incorporates new institutional economics (NIE) and new economic sociology (NES) to explain the processes associated with creating institutional practices within clustering creative industries. Both streams of institutional theory constitute that economic organizations are socially constructed. Next, this text proposes the framework that depicts the socio-economic context better and more directly addresses the dynamics of enacting, embedding and changing organizational features and processes within clustering creative industries. Some pertinent definitions are offered to be used in a conceptual framework of research about how economic institutions like clustering creative industries constitute their structures.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose “Corrupt practices” is a recurring feature of media coverage. The paper seeks to encourage debates about the influence of institutional structures on agency to break away from methodological individualism. This paper aims to encourage reflections on the role of both the structures and actors which have shaped the continuous expansion of corrupt practices in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach Whilst recognising that deviant behaviour by some individuals is always possible, this paper has rejected methodological individualism and shows the value of locating anti-social practices within the broader socio-political and historical context. Within a socio-political framework, this study adopts the theories of critical realism, developmental state and globalisation to understand the relationship between social agency and society, focusing upon the institutional structures and the role of social actors. Findings The evidence shows that socio-political and economic development, politics, power, history and globalisation have continued to reproduce and transform the institutional structures and actors which have facilitated anti-social practices in Nigeria. The paper concludes that large sums of government revenue have been undermined by the anti-social practices of the Nigerian political and economic elite (both local and international), which have enriched a few, but impoverished most, Nigerians. Practical implications As a consequence of recurring corrupt practices in Nigeria, there is a pressing need for reform to curb these practices which have had, and continue to have, a serious effect on Nigeria and its future development. Originality/value It provides a framework for understanding and explaining the inter-relations of actors and institutional structures and the linkages and influences that have shaped the practices in Nigeria.

AbstractThis study investigates the factors affecting financial literacy in Japan using data from Osaka University's Preference Parameter Study. We examine several demographic, socio-economic, and psychological variables drawn from the social learning, consumer socialization, and psychological theories of learning. The results indicate that the demographic factors of gender, age, and education; the socio-economic factors of income and occupation; and the psychological factor of perceptions of the future significantly affect the level of financial literacy. The results are robust to different measures of financial literacy and emphasize that social contact and people's future orientation can improve financial literacy levels in Japan.

Full textAbstract:
Generalized trust, the faith we place in strangers, is a fundamental attribute of democratic societies. We investigate the development of generalized trust using survey data collected from Romanian high school students within a multi-level, panel research design. We find that diversity in the classroom, defined through ethnic and socio-economic differences, has negative effects on generalized trust. Associational membership interacts indirectly with diversity, counteracting the negative impact of ethnic diversity but reinforcing socio-economic distinctions. The findings support cultural theories of generalized trust and point to the potentially positive role educational policy might play in encouraging trust among youths.

The paper is a contribution to the debate about the theoretical aspects, the structure, and the competitiveness of Italian industrial districts. The work first examines the theoretical strand on industrial districts ranging from Marshall to Becattini, and focusing on the contemporary distrettualism of Giacomo Becattini, where the district is essentially a socio-economic construct and an important localized productive system. Furthermore, the paper offers an updated picture of the Italian industrial districts as they are represented in the 2011 Census by the National Statistics Institute. Finally, this study underlines the resilient competitive capacity of this typical form of industrial organization. Then, through empirical literature, it analyzes the Italian district companies, and their performance and success in foreign markets, especially with regard to “Made in Italy” products.

Full textAbstract:
This article deals with the phenomenon of invalid voting which has appeared in regional elections in the Olomouc region in the Czech Republic. First, contemporary theories of invalid voting are introduced. Second, the given hypotheses, which include both institutional and socio-economic factors that, according to the theories, contribute to higher levels of invalid voting, are tested. Statistical analysis such as linear regression is employed in the research. The dataset is comprised of municipalities (cases) in which regional elections were held. The results show that higher levels of invalid voting are associated with concurrent elections (elections to the regional assembly and elections to the upper house (the Senate) of the Czech Parliament) in those municipalities in which residents are older and less well-educated. If regional elections are held without concurring elections, socio-economic variables have a smaller effect on invalid voting. Therefore, the state authorities should consider a revision of respective electoral law and simplify the electoral process involved in concurrent elections.
