This book examines theoretical, methodological, and empirical issues of the adoption and realization of national development strategies in the case of contemporary Uzbekistan. A comparative analysis of peculiarities of making national strategies in developed and emerging market countries is performed. The methodological approach to identifying long-term global trends to incorporate them into the national development strategies by the example of scientific and technological trends is justified. Strategic priority areas of the national economy of Uzbekistan are justified. The book is expected to be highly beneficial to the field scholars, economic practitioners, members of academia, graduate students and researchers, as well as to the national and regional statesmen, executives who are involved in the strategic decision-making processes.

Abstract Regional disparities are a research and political theme that has received considerable attention. This is also because regional disparities constitute a pull factor of migration, because high regional disparities may seriously threaten territorial integrity, and because socioeconomic development potential is not fully realized in lagging regions. Not surprisingly, regional disparities are an important research and political theme for New Silk Road countries and this is also reflected in the focus of this paper. The primary aim of this paper is to characterize regional disparities in selected New Silk Road countries, namely in China, in Russia and in Visegrad Four countries, and subsequently to discuss the relationship between regional disparities and the One Belt, One Road Initiative. The results point out the presence of a pattern of regional disparities in the countries. In this regard, the importance of the East-West gradient, of spatial hierarchy, and of inherited specialization is particularly emphasized. Reflecting the pattern of regional disparities, the potential of the One Belt, One Road Initiative to stimulate development of lagging regions is indicated.

Under international law, the cultivation of opium poppy, coca bush, and cannabis plant is allowed only for limited medical and scientific purposes. All other cultivation of these plants is marked for removal via eradication or other means, and strategies to implement these laws are reviewed. Globally, the annual risk of eradication is consistently below 10% for each crop. Evidence regarding socioeconomic development policies is taken from over two decades of United Nations programs in 11 countries. Using any measure of performance, they have had little impact. Even with marginal revisions in their methodology, the likelihood of these policies achieving their aims in the near future seems minimal.

This paper analyses the relationship between human development and migration. In particular, it tests whether migration, as a function of human development, follows an inverted U-shaped curve, known as mobility transition. Understanding this relationship is important since many Western politicians have implemented socioeconomic development strategies in migrant source countries with the aim to reduce migration. Considering that previous studies have mainly concentrated on the economic factors of development, this study introduces the broader human development index, determined by income, health and education, as the main explanatory variable. Analysing the rate of migration from 111 low- and middle-income countries into the aggregate of 15 OECD countries between 2000 and 2010, the study finds strong support for the inverted U-shaped relationship between human development and migration. This indicates that development strategies aimed at reducing migration are misguided

Aim. The presented study identifies spatial organization models of territorial socio-economic systems based on the experience of strategic planning of spatial transformations in Russian regions.Tasks. The authors determine the place of spatial aspects of development in each regional socio-economic development strategy by examining the structural features of the document and objectives outlined in the sections on spatial transformation prospects; systematize the experience of strategic modeling of spatial organization by meaningfully analyzing elements of regional strategies related to spatial transformation.Methods. This study uses general methods of cognition (analysis and synthesis) to examine socioeconomic development strategies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, identify and systematize general aspects of spatial transformation guidelines outlined in them.Results. Regional socio-economic development strategies are categorized by the degree to which spatial transformation issues are addressed. It was found that only 13.4% of documents ignore spatial development. Variations in the directions of spatial transformation outlined in strategies are indicated, and the ratio of the number of documents focusing on different changes is determined (in most documents, there is no clearly defined vision of projected spatial transformations). Four spatial organization models for territorial socio-economic systems are distinguished depending on the underlying vector of strategic transformations (a priority development model for territories with the greatest potential, a model for facilitating the development of lagging territories, a functional zoning model, and a hierarchical spatial organization model).Conclusions. The results of systematization of spatial organization models proposed by regional socioeconomic development strategies reflect options for optimizing the spatial characteristics of territories (related both to the development of individual spatial elements and to the inclusion of all spatial components into transformation processes) and can be useful for local authorities at different levels when setting spatial transformation goals.

Abstract We consider the ways humans engage in social epistemic actions, to guide each other's attention, prediction, and learning processes towards salient information, at the timescale of online social interaction and joint action. This parallels the active guidance of other's attention, prediction, and learning processes at the longer timescale of niche construction and cultural practices, as discussed in the target article.
