This chapter explores the relationship between international development and global health. Contrary to the view that development implies ‘good change’, this chapter argues that the discourse of development masks the destructive and exploitative practices of wealthy countries at the expense of poorer ones. These practices, and the unregulated capitalist economic system that they are part of, have created massive inequalities between and within countries, and potentially catastrophic climate change. Both of these outcomes are detrimental to global health and the millennium development goals and sustainable development goals do not challenge these dynamics. While the Sustainable Development Goals acknowledge that inequality and climate change are serious threats to the future of humanity, they fail to address the economic system that created them. Notwithstanding, it is possible that the enormity and proximity of the threat posed by inequality and global warming will energise a counter movement to create what Kate Raworth terms ‘an ecologically safe and socially just space’ for the global population while there is still time.

International integration processes in the field of education are particularly pronounced within the framework of the European Union, expressed in the creation of the European Higher Education Area, as well as in the intensification of the Bologna processthe system of harmonization of education systems in European countries. The article is devoted to the identification and consideration of the main trends whose influence on the development of the educational sphere can become decisive for its further development. Among those are university autonomy, ensuring and improving the quality of higher education, the process of internationalization, and standardization and digitalization. The methodological basis of the work was well-known general and particular methods of scientific research. The purpose and objectives of the article were to study the relevant problems of legal support for the development of education in the European Union.


It is the firm belief of the authors that Blockchain and other frontier technologies will be an important tool for social impact globally. It is now possible, with technology, to envision a world where everyone has an identity, where everyone can be connected to the economic system, where farmers get fair deals for their crops, and land registration is incorruptible. Advances in solar, battery, and digital commerce make it possible to imagine even the smallest village in Africa being able to produce and trade small amounts of energy. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were a visionary leap to a future state where the world can be a better place for humankind. However, they will not be achieved without harnessing the potential of technology. Nor will they be reached alone. In this chapter, the authors profile innovative case studies in Blockchain, which, if brought to scale, may realise the technology's potential. It is through this learning and experimentation that we will learn how to deploy this technology globally for social impact.

Abstract To foster the sustainable development of renewable energy use in urban areas, we define an alternative, reciprocity-based, techno-economic system named SEAMS (“sharing energy amongst adjacent buildings”). We demonstrate its relevance through a statistical analysis of linear heat density across coastal cities from Northwestern mainland France, and a comparison of four implementations of three techno-economic systems within the perimeter of two adjacent building blocks, located in the city center of Lorient (Brittany). The SEAMS approach promises to address the multidimensional fragility issues currently surfacing with the conventional, market-based or redistribution-based, techno-economic systems, namely electricity and gas networks (EGN) or district heating and cooling networks (DHCN).

Устойчивое развитие социально-экономической системы субъекта РФ предполагает высокий уровень его инвестиционной активности. Однако, исследование сущности данной категории и определение ее места среди смежных понятий остается нерешенной проблемой. В статье приводится сравнительный анализ подходов российских ученых к оценке инвестиционной активности региона и рассматриваются принципы ее повышения на мезоуровне. The sustainable development of the socio-economic system of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation presupposes a high level of its investment activity. However, the study of the essence of this category and determination of its place among related concepts remains an unsolved problem. The article provides a comparative analysis of the approaches of Russian scientists to assessing the investment activity of the region and examines the principles of its increase at the meso-level.

At present, one of the priority tasks of implementing state economic policy is to promote the sustainable development, including the means of agriculture. In the article, the authors revealed the essence of land rent as an institution and identified the need to study the institutional mechanism of land rent in the agricultural sector as a way of regulating the economic activities of landowners, land users and the state in transition to sustainable development. Based on the identified development trends, an algorithm has been developed to improve the institutional mechanism that ensures the effective functioning of the institution of land rent. The conceptual approach proposed in the study can be used as a theoretical and methodological basis for sustainable development and improvement of rental policies in Russian agriculture.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine “(Buddhist economics)” in urban reform Buddhism in Thailand. In the West, Buddhist economics is often perceived as a specific economic system, but understanding the sustainable development debate in Buddhist countries requires recognition that there are many versions. Design/methodology/approach The authors organize the discussion about Buddhist economics into a framework used in the sustainability debate. Current literature, largely from Thai writers, is analyzed to understand their positions on economy and environment. Findings Four representative movements are discussed which show substantial differences. Status quo Wat Dhammakaya feels that Buddhist economics is mainly about improving individual moral behavior within the current capitalist system, and needs little systemic change. Santi Asoke is explicitly anti-capitalist, and its most serious adherents live simple lifestyles in collectivist agricultural communities. “(Reform-from-within)” seeks a mixed economy containing both capitalist and socialist elements. Kuan Im is also between the extremes, largely small business capitalist and wanting some restraints on perceived predatory big business. Originality/value Buddhist perspectives are just beginning to enter mainstream western discussion on sustainability. The most common understanding of Buddhist economics in the west is incomplete, assuming only one form of Buddhist economics. In fact, Buddhist societies, represented here by Thailand, cover the whole range of thinking on sustainability.
