Egypt at a Crossroads: MNEs and Economic Development in a Global Environment

My aim is to establish that three commonsense principles of fairness, none of them dependent upon controversial philosophical theories of justice, give rise to the same conclusion about the allocation of the costs of protecting the environment. Poor states and rich states have long dealt with each other primarily upon unequal terms. The imposition of unequal terms has been relatively easy for the rich states because they have rarely needed to ask for the voluntary cooperation of the less powerful poor states. Now the rich countries have realized that their own industrial activity has been destroying the ozone in the earth’s atmosphere and has been making far and away the greatest contribution to global warming. They would like the poor states to avoid adopting the same form of industrialization by which they themselves became rich. It is increasingly clear that if poor states pursue their own economic development with the same disregard for the natural environment and the economic welfare of other states that rich states displayed in the past during their development, everyone will continue to suffer the effects of environmental destruction. Consequently, it is at least conceivable that rich states might now be willing to consider dealing cooperatively on equitable terms with poor states in a manner that gives due weight to both the economic development of poor states and the preservation of the natural environment. If we are to have any hope of pursuing equitable cooperation, we must try to arrive at a consensus about what equity means. And we need to define equity not as a vague abstraction but concretely and specifically in the context of both development of the economy in poor states and preservation of the environment everywhere. What diplomats and lawyers call equity incorporates important aspects of what ordinary people everywhere call fairness. The concept of fairness is neither Eastern nor Western, Northern nor Southern, but universal. People everywhere understand what it means to ask whether an arrangement is fair or biased toward some parties over other parties.

The article substantiates the problem of forming baby economy as a factor of national economic development in the global environment. The main baby economy evolution directions as a component of the nanoeconomic system are formulated in the course of research. In addition, Ukraine’s baby economy subsystem, particularly the practice of growing up, socialization and relationship process, is analysed. It has been revealed how little people in this country can influence the course of economic development. The factor analysis is conducted on baby economy factors’ impact on GDP per capita which determines that our GDP manufacturing does not actively depend on the performance of baby economy. This dependence is 0.57. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce the levers of deploying baby economy processes in Ukraine’s economic environment. Furthermore, it has been estimated that the number of people with higher education is gradually increasing as well as the number of foreign students that results in attractiveness of Ukraine’s higher education. As a result of research, the conclusions are based on the necessity of updating baby economy and the beginning of the national economic system development, taking into account the formation of common approaches to education and upbringing. World experience shows that if the economic behaviour of a child is developed by the appropriate education, the level of national economy adaptation to the global environment becomes a decisive issue.

Social And Economic Development

The global environment has become more turbulent, and innovations in telecommunication and information processing are both part of this turbulence and an adaptive response to it. How can telecommunication infrastructure enable the social and economic development of communities? With diminishing barriers in terms of price, speed and availability, how can individuals and groups in a community become innovators? This chapter will discuss: • The importance of innovation in an ICT-enabled world; • A model of innovation for continuous and discontinuous change; • The nature of innovation—describing the concepts of creativity and invention, and the source of innovation; • The development of a local innovation culture; • Evaluation of the innovation environment.
