Decentralization Reform

Incompleteness of processes of structural reformation of Ukrainian economy reveals itself on the regional level. Argument towards the utility of decentralization reform was Ukraine-Europe integration. Decentralization should be viewed as a powerful tool of governmental policy for balanced development of territorial communities. In addition, it’s crucial to remember that the greatest effect will be achieved in a long term. Strategic development of united territorial communities (UTC) includes countless tasks that need to be solved as soon as possible. And organization of effective logistic activity in the region appears to be one of the ways to strengthen regional economy, to improve security level and development. The problem of ensuring stable socio-economic growth of a community is as well a logistic problem. It can be represented as a problem of optimization of flow processes of effective resource usage to achieve balanced processes of creation and consumption of resources in socio-economic system. Logistization of economic relationships on UTC level allows community to ensure better decision making of key tasks of regional management such as creation of optimal strategy to manage structural offers and material flows of social production; optimization of material, financial and informational flows of the region.

Horizontal Structure

The article discusses a method of social communication on the Internet based on general professional hobbies in the field of amateur creativity. The relevance of the topic is substantiated by the fact that social life of a modern person in the sphere of social production seems to be extremely formalized, often not allowing the manifestation of personal individuality, which can affect the state of both an individual and society as a whole. Compensating for this deficit makes it possible to engage in amateur creativity in various fields, and communication in social networks with like-minded hobbies can enhance the sociocultural effect of creative satisfaction. The method of analyzing documents (posts of forum participants on the site of sewers "burdastyle.ru") has been used in the research. The analysis has shown that the initially horizontal structure of network communication in the process of forming a network community gradually acquires the properties of a vertical hierarchy, where each participant receives his/her conditional social status with his/her inherent role. Thus, the effect of social stratification arises according to significant social characteristics (material security, level of education, etc.). Long-term participation in network communication with specific participants through the monitor leads to the fact that it can be perceived as a kind of plot of a series, where forum participants acquire the qualities of character-types. The main conclusion of the article is that the creative potential of handmade placed in the Internet space increases many times over, and as a result, an atmosphere of collective immersion into the depths of artistic communication with its inherent function of increasing the vital energy of society and individuals arises.

AbstractThe indirect effects of military spending on security are stronger and more important than its direct effects, and its long run impact more telling than its short run impact. In the short run, military spending can be a source of both physical security and economic stimulus. In the long run, it can be counterproductive in terms of physical security and will be a dead weight on the economy. How a society’s productive resources are deployed, as between military spending and more economically productive activities, sets it on a long-term course with powerful implications for the ability of its economy to do what it is supposed to do – provide for the material well-being of the population as a whole. The mechanism by which the extensive and extended diversion of productive economic resources to economically unproductive military spending drags an economy down is analyzed. Furthermore, it is possible to use properly structured international and domestic economic relationships in place of threats or use of military force to increase national and international security, while at the same time enhancing, rather than degrading, economic wellbeing. Three principles for structuring such a “peacekeeping economy” are set forth.

The specifics of the current state of innovation and investment activity in the territories of the Russian Federation require a comprehensive analytical study, monitoring the effectiveness of innovation and investment development of the territories. The analysis of the study suggests that the task of leveling the levels of socio-economic development of territories can be solved on the basis of the formation of a modern investment and innovation management system that is adequate to the current socio-economic realities. The sustainable innovation and investment development of territories is strongly influenced by various components of the internal and external environment, including alternative factors, the analysis of which makes it possible to study problematic situations, crisis situations, determine ways to eliminate them and assess such opportunities. Violations and problems in the field of effective investment management and innovation implementation at the territorial level should be identified and eliminated in a timely manner. The main task of managing innovation processes is investment planning of the territory, development of actions that can apply and provide the necessary environment that has a favorable effect on the strategic development of the territory. During the scientific research, the classification of key factors influencing the program-target management of innovation and investment activities of economic regions was formed, and the effectiveness of their influence on the final result was determined.

The development and implementation of the strategy has long been the focus of scientists and practitioners. But, despite the extensive scientific Arsenal, the tasks facing economic managers do not become easier. In many ways, this situation is due to the fact that in the face of growing uncertainty, which is typical for any, both developed and developing markets, it is increasingly difficult to imagine the «image of the future» and formulate the strategy goals to subordinate the company’s activities to the achievement of these very goals. In a sense, the correct formulation of the problem of long-term development can serve as a foresight, which is used to identify factors that can have an impact on the economy and society in the medium and long term. However, what is the connection of foresight with the setting of goals of the strategy of the industrial enterprise and the choice of mechanisms for the implementation of the chosen strategy – these questions require answers, without which the scientific base of strategic management will not be complete. An attempt is made to find an answer to the question of what hinders industrial development under conditions when the scale of technological modernization is not accompanied by a change in the structure of production. The solution to this problem is proposed to be sought in institutional transformations, on the basis of a theoretical understanding of the laws that determine the technological development of modern industry and the application of the methods of the theory of artificial intelligence systems. The proposed approaches of economic and technological development of territories, states, industries and individual industrial enterprises will allow the most effective financing of investment programs for industrial development.

Compound Events

<p>Humanitarian crises often result from a combination of multiple physical and societal processes, rather than independently from a single driver. The combination of processes leads to “compound events”, whose socio-economic impacts could be larger than those expected by analysing each driver individually. In recent years, the Horn of Africa has been increasingly exposed to compound events. Frequent extreme wet and dry conditions often compound with its fragile context characterized by internal ethnic conflicts, unstable governments, and high levels of poverty, resulting in impacts usually larger than anticipated. An improved understanding of the drivers and their interactions can help to reduce future risks associated with compound events.</p><p>Here, we conducted a retrospective analysis of the humanitarian crises that occurred in Kenya and Ethiopia in 2017-2018. In this period, a severe drought that occurred over the span of around 18/24 months, was followed by extensive flooding during the 2018 March-May rainy season. The impacts and their related drivers were explored, first through a review of the literature, and then through a survey and semi-structured interviews with several stakeholders from national agencies, civil societies, and NGOs. The approach resulted in a participatory co-creation of causal loop diagrams used as qualitative mental maps of the perceived drivers and interactions. These were then used as a basis for the semi-quantitative analysis of driver-interactions, modelling the impacts of immediate and long-term effects of the compound events.</p><p>The analysis disentangles the spatial-temporal feedback of drought and flood events, and their interconnections with societal forces. We found both negative and positive feedback on the food security level of the Kenyan and Ethiopian population. For instance, the flood initially exacerbated food insecurity caused by the long drought, but in the long term, it helped alleviate related water shortages. The results show the importance of taking drought response actions that first do not increase the risk related to subsequent floods (e.g., encouraging the allocation of people in lowland areas), but also that can boost the positive impacts of above-average rainfall on drought effects. Moreover, we investigated potential early warning signs and explored the impacts of several measures, identifying windows of opportunity for interventions.</p>

The chapter aims at the identification of existing natural, environmental, and rural resources that have worked together to promote the individual brand of Stavropol Region as a producer of green agricultural commodities and food, as well as a resort area, attractive by its unique environmental conditions. The perspectives of the development of green production are accessed in order to exploit existing regional resources in the long term, encourage local/regional producers and stimulate their economies, which is vital to quality of life in the countryside and a balanced development of rural and urban areas. Special attention is paid to the elaboration of possible ways to increase effectiveness of natural management as an approach to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of rural economies whilst at the same time opening up alternative employment opportunities for rural people.

Abstract We construct a new data set tracking the daily value of life insurers’ assets at the security level. Outside of the 2008–2009 crisis, a ${\$}$ 1 drop in the market value of assets reduces an insurer’s market equity by ${\$}$ 0.10. During the ?nancial crisis, this pass-through rises to ${\$}$ 1. We explain this pattern by viewing insurance companies as asset insulators, institutions with stable, long-term liabilities that can ride out transitory dislocations in market prices. Illustrating the macroeconomic importance of insulation, insurers’ market equity declined by ${\$}$50 billion less than the duration-adjusted value of their securities during the crisis.
