Premised upon the observation that MOOC and crowdsourcing phenomena share several important characteristics, including IT mediation, large-scale human participation, and varying levels of openness to participants, this work systematizes a comparison of MOOC and crowdsourcing phenomena along these salient dimensions. In doing so, we learn that both domains share further common traits, including similarities in IT structures, knowledge generating capabilities, presence of intermediary service providers, and techniques designed to attract and maintain participant activity. Stemming directly from this analysis, we discuss new directions for future research in both fields and draw out actionable implications for practitioners and researchers in both domains.

Analysis And Synthesis

The article describes specific features of project financing in the Russian Federation. It is stated that in Russia in recent years new investment projects have been launched, which are expected to be implemented using the project financing method, which indicates a favorable investment climate and the state's readiness to develop and improve this mechanism. Most of the projects are related to the industrial sector; in this regard, the analysis of projects and a synthesis of experience in the application of project financing have been conducted. Projects that were not always successful were analyzed, as well as an example of a project implemented with the assumption of design errors, in which the basic principles of project financing were not applied, but the result of its functioning turned out to be positive. According to the results of the analysis, the author grouped the general trends of project implementation, formulated the conditions that confirm the use of project financing, and identified key errors in the implementation of large-scale investment projects involving industrial enterprises. Priority sectors of the economy are defined, in which large-scale investment projects are most often developed and implemented (oil and gas extraction, processing and transportation). A review of Russian experience of project financing made it possible to understand the level of prevalence of this method and the effectiveness of its use, as well as to identify the main factors constraining and stimulating the use of project financing by industrial enterprises. Taking into account these factors will contribute to the formation of new directions and the development of methods for stimulating project financing for their successful use in the implementation of large-scale investment projects.

Abstract Analysing the Danish-Greenlandic debate on Greenland’s plans to extract and export uranium, the article advocates bringing the fields of extraction studies and cultural studies into dialogue. Drawing on discourse analysis, critical theory and the “emotional turn” in social sciences, the article demonstrates how the current discussion about secession is linked to a Danish-Greenlandic affective economy instituted during the colonial era. Conceived as the antithesis to the unhappy condition of present postcoloniality, independence has become the ultimate political goal for the Greenlandic nation. The reasoning is that history has made the Greenlanders citizens in a foreign nation, which has left them in a state of alienation. In order to lock colonialism away firmly in the past and attain future happiness, the Greenlanders must attain statehood. Uranium is supposed to promote this goal and is thus circulated as a “happy object”, positioning opponents of uranium mining as “affect aliens” or “killjoys” in the independence discourse. In Denmark, the Greenlandic detachment has led to “postcolonial melancholia” – and to a greater receptiveness to the Greenland desire for equality. In Greenland, disappointed expectations of rapid economic progress and growing distrust of large-scale projects have sparked a discussion about the significations of the concept of “independence”.
