The paper has two parts: in the first one, economic aspect of regionalization is considered, in the second a financial one. Regionalization, like every type of decentralization, represents a serious reform of a state and brings upon several expected as well as unexpected although significant effects on political, social, and economic life. Its goal is an improvement of political, social, and economic functions of a state, not their deterioration. Unfortunately, experience of other countries does not support overwhelming optimism. Most frequently, regionalization is done due to political considerations; economic considerations are of secondary importance or even neglected. Such a dominance of political reasoning neglects fundamental principles and arguments of the economic science, standards of rational approach to decentralization, and even economic efficiency and equality between citizens. Because of that, the emphasis in this paper is on economic and financial aspects of regionalization in Serbia. In the first part the author explores economic aspects of regionalization; four state functions (regulation, stabilization, redistribution, and allocation) in decentralized setting; relations between regionalization, deregulation, and privatization; vertical distribution of functions (exclusive functions by the state, exclusive functions by regions, shared functions). After that he explores advantages of the selected model of creating regions and distribution of authorities in Serbia, particularly economic authorities of regions (1. land planning, urban land use, housing; 2. development and maintenance of infrastructure of regional importance and coordination of public utilities in municipalities; 3. agriculture; 4. tourism; 5. forestry 6. hunting and fishing; 7. vocational training and employment; 8. ecology; 9. public works). Separate section is devoted to social protection (financial transfers and institutions). In the second part of the paper (Financing the Regions) the author first examines certain issues in principle (fiscal revenues, vertical and horizontal balance, debts and moral hazard) and then considers topics of financing regions in Serbia, such as revenues subsidies, and debts.

Cooling Fan

The aerodynamic inefficiencies of motor vehicle cooling systems are generally of secondary importance to their production costs. However, the advent of the inexpensive moulded fan has meant that an improvement in cooling system aerodynamics can be more readily achieved which could reduce costs and radiator sizes, with the additional benefits of predictable performance and improved economy. In the investigation described, the design objective was to meet the top gear cooling targets entirely with ram-induced airflow, and to design the engine driven fan so that it consumed negligible power for top gear conditions, whilst being capable of meeting the cooling targets in the intermediate gear ratios. The work divided itself into the following three sections: (1) The prediction and achievement of the maximum ram-induced airflows. (2) Designing the cooling fan to be effectively free-wheeling and, therefore, consuming negligible power during top gear motoring, and to measure the performance of the resulting fan throughout the ram and fan assisted airflow regimes. (3) Designing and predicting the performance of a cooling system which was subsequently built and installed in a test vehicle in order to check its performance and making an overall comparison with regard to the original system. The paper shows that the design objectives were closely achieved. The 1·7 litre test vehicle was cooled satisfactorily with a one foot square radiator with the expenditure of only 0·9 hp in the cooling system when travelling at 70 mile/h.

- Economic sociology and economics have encouraged, since their intellectual origins, a different relationship with public economic policies and this diversity is still very much alive in today's debate. This is particularly true in the last decades, when economic sociology has developed strongly and when it get involved in public policy related issues. The paper argues that, with regard to public economic policies, the economic science has a stronger "influence" than economic sociology, despite the scant soundness of economic analysis would not justify it. At the same time, the paper goes on, today's influence of economic sociology on public economic policy has grown rapidly, especially because of the social and relational embeddeness of economic life. These opportunities will be exploited by economic sociology if few conditions will be realized: first, a closer attention to development and innovation issues is needed and, second, a stronger relationship with research centres and think tanks should be supported.Key words: economics and economic sociology, rethoric of economics, economic sociology and public policies, innovation, local development, embeddeness

Modern Economic

There is an active development and use of the principles and research tools of the institutional approach in modern economic science. It allows establishing the relationships that exist between the economic, political and social elements of the system, expanding the boundaries of economic life. The institutional environment determines the goals, functions and dynamics of interaction in property relations. Thus, it appears the effectiveness of functioning of its various forms, which will depend on the institutional structure of management as a system of norms and rules that determine the configuration of property rights, together with coercive instruments. The article considers the approach from the theory of constructivism, which describes the structural features of property relations, taking as a basis the system of network coordination of relations. Formation of a network structure and a new, non-hierarchical way of coordinating ties reflects new economic realities associated with the strong interdependence of property subjects. Formation of a knowledge economy, development of globalization, integration of property subjects have led to the accelerated development of innovations, to a new quality of property relations. Innovations are supported by a huge agglomeration of social, innovative, intellectual and financial capital, which forms the emergence of “innovations in innovations” and determines the relevance of studying the system of network coordination of relations.

The review article positions the materials of the results of the VI International scientifc-practical conference, the content of which is considered from a special angle — through the phenomenon of market economies. Within the framework of the forum, the understanding of the past (in theoretical and applied terms) market model of management and the search for new sources of economic growth were carried out, the fnancial problems accompanying the genesis and evolution of economic life were discussed. The high level of discussion can be judged by the participation in the conference of such well-known post-Soviet scientists as R.M. Nureyev (Russia), B.S. Myrzaliyev (Kazakhstan), G.I. Ganush (Belarus), G.L. Sargsyan (Armenia), N.u. uzakov (uzbekistan) and others. In accordance with the program of the conference, special attention was paid to the analysis of debatable historical, economic, institutional, reproductive and transformational aspects of the phenomenon of the market system of management, explicated through the prism of monetary and fnancial relations. Materials of the conference actualize the development of evolutionary, institutional and interdisciplinary aspects of economic science, as a stage in the deepening of the existing system of knowledge about the phenomenon (objects) that make up the latest areas of Theoretical Economics, and their relationship, revealing a wide range of discussion of methodological and theoretical problems of the phenomenon of market economy. Of particular scientifc and practical interest are the opinions of the forum participants, reflecting the state and vectors of development of modern scientific knowledge in the feld of fnancial instruments of commodity-money relations, showing “bottlenecks” in this segment of economic science. A number of generalizing conclusions and recommendations are aimed at solving problems that are relevant to modern society, such as: strengthening the confrontation between the national and global economy, sanctions counteraction, contradictions of the traditional monetary economy and the emerging use of cryptocurrency. The results of the conference not only acquaint the academic and scientifc community with the trends in the study of the market phenomenon in the CIS but also have a signifcant potential applied interest.

Poverty And Inequality

Chapter 8 considers the challenge of moving towards inclusive dualism for surplus labour countries. In such countries, decent work fundamentalism threatens to perpetuate or worsen poverty and inequality. As the extreme case of South Africa’s clothing manufacturing sector shows, decent work fundamentalism not only impedes job creation but it also destroys jobs. Decent work fundamentalism is a threat not just across Southern Africa and in other parts of the world where open unemployment is very high. It is also a threat across much of Africa, where unemployment rates have already risen and are predicted to continue to rise, especially amongst young people. Given the rapid growth of the labour force and the inability of agriculture to absorb more workers, most African countries need to expand urgently non-agricultural employment in labour-intensive sectors (including clothing manufacturing). Strengthening the safety net of social protection (through cash transfers and public works programmes) can mitigate poverty, but is unlikely to be any substitute for labour-intensive development.

The One

Only one adult in a hundred gets his food and clothing without doing anything directly in exchange for them. The other ninety-nine form active parts of the system of relations in society which will be called, in what follows here, economic; and even the one in the hundred who does not give, takes something, as children and imbeciles take, out of the store of services which are economic life. Boots and bread are but the bridges over which one man is connected with another, through services exchanged. The philosophy of social life, therefore, must “place” these economic relations in the whole complex unity of human experience. The science of economics analyses some of the aspects of the relations of men in exchanging services, and it provides a language which is already sufficiently current to be used here without full explanation of the terms. Therefore, without more ado, the philosophical aspects of the economic system may be considered in the terms of economic science, but outside the frontiers proper to that partial analysis.

The opening of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia states that the national objective of the Indonesian state is to educate the life of the nation, create public welfare, protect all of Indonesia's bloodshed, and help implement world order and lasting peace. Efforts to achieve these national goals can be done through the fulfillment of basic rights of the community, one of which is through education. Republic of Indonesia Government Regulation Number 2 of 2018th concerning Minimum Service Standards (Standart Pelayanan Mutu/SPM) that compulsory government affairs relating to basic services consist of education; health; public works and spatial planning; public housing and residential areas; peace, public order and community and social protection. Furthermore, the education SPM includes the Provincial Education SPM and the District/City Education SPM. The types of basic services in the SPM of Provincial Education consist of secondary education and special education. While the types of basic services in the district/city education SPM consist of early childhood education, basic education and equality education.

The article is devoted to determining the system priorities of the strategic development of the service sector in the context of the formation of modern technological challenges. The study used the basics of a systematic approach and synergetic, theoretical generalizations of existing scientific developments, structural and functional analysis, and interpretation of objective trends. Special attention is paid to the turbulence of socio-economic processes in connection with the upcoming changes in the main parameters of employment for reasons of automation and digitalization, which cannot be strictly quantified at the present time. In order to maximize the use of real technological opportunities for the transition to a new level of labor productivity in the national economy, it is proposed to take into account the potential for using the principles of unconditional basic income in practice, which is considered as the main content of the upcoming transformation of the service sector. As a result, with sufficient reason, a new use of the created product is expected, which means the formation of new economic relations, primarily in the service sector. This consistently becomes a priority function and a trend of its immediate development, which is not yet paid due attention in economic science. Modern technological digitalization makes real the processes of consistent integration of the system components of social protection and social policy into the relations of unconditional basic income and becomes the basis for the synergy of the formation of new economic relations in specific sectors of the service sector and social security systems.

- The analysts of the processes of public bodies decision - taking have long been discussing on the establishment of proper strategies to manage "environmental conflicts" - above all the so-called problems of "undesired location" of public works and facilities - efficiently (i.e. on a short-period basis so as to grant decision and agreement stability) and fairly (the parties' satisfaction is itself a further guarantee of decision and agreement stability). Each strategy, anyway, is still in progress, like a "universe to create and explore". Therefore, in this paper, we will focus on the analysis of the problem and provide as well some theoretical proposals to arrange "a new interpreting model of public bodies decision-taking processes" based on the achievements of two new subject-matters: evolutionary game theory and cognitive economy. Both sciences share their investigation field with law and economic science.Key words: Collective decision analysis, public decision-taking theory, conflict (re)solution, game theory, cooperative games, evolutionary game theory, neuroeconomics, bargaining theory.Parole chiave: Analisi delle decisioni collettive, teoria delle scelte pubbliche, risoluzione dei conflitti, teoria dei giochi, teoria della contrattazione, giochi cooperativi, teoria evolutiva dei giochi, neuroeconomia.JEL classifications: D700, D710, D740, C700, C710, C730, D870.
