Educational Paradigm

The article is devoted to the consideration of the important issue of the implementation of the principles of sustainable development, in the context of the introduction of innovative education and ensuring social safety. It is noted that an important result of the implementation of the process of sustainable development is social safety as a state of protection of vital rights and freedoms of citizens, as well as a system of social and political events that provides this protection. An important role in ensuring social safety and sustainable development belongs to education, which has an innovative basis. Therefore, it is important to form an innovative and educational paradigm that would contribute to the creation of an optimal socio-economic environment for social safety and sustainable development. The article highlights the problematic issues of social safety and sustainable development that are now taking place in Ukraine. Poverty, unemployment, high morbidity, rising crime – all this negatively affects the living standards of the population and the state of social safety of the country. It is noted that the strengthening of social safety largely depends on the state of human capital and the development of the educational sphere. The development of education, raising the educational level of the population acts as a catalyst for socio-economic processes, allows those working in social production to realize the achievements of scientific and technological progress and participate in its development. The innovative educational paradigm aims to provide high quality educational services, create a competitive educational environment and ensure the training of competitive specialists, which implies the establishment of a close relationship between education and business. It is also necessary to actively use the experience of developed countries to ensure the positive impact of education on the achievement of social safety and sustainable development. In this aspect, the article analyzes the current state of the educational sphere in Ukraine. The ways of achieving stability and optimal development of the educational sphere are proposed, which should contribute to ensuring economic growth on the principles of sustainable development.

Purpose – Despite the surge of interest in construction sustainability and the many Government initiatives encouraging reform in the UK construction industry (CI), the prevalence of sustainable development (SD) in the industry is still largely lagging behind that of other industries. Given the amount of focus and activity identified nationally in this area, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the reasons why this is not being translated into action and to seek counsel from industry professionals as to how they believe change can be achieved with a particular focus on how they believe higher education institutions (HEIs) can contribute. Design/methodology/approach – An explorative, qualitative study using three focus groups was of construction professionals. Findings – Despite a lack of action, many in industry support sustainability and actively attempt to engage in sustainable practices but a number of barriers preclude successful implementation. Government initiatives are having a positive impact, with participants believing that both Government and HEIs are imperative in driving the sustainability agenda forward. Research limitations/implications – Whilst limited in scale, this paper highlights the current state of the CI in relation to SD and evidences that progress is being made albeit slowly. The findings may help both Government and HEIs alongside industry in achieving how this can be overcome. Originality/value – Previous research in this area has generally adopted a quantitative approach. Adopting a qualitative approach provides a more in depth view as to why the status quo remains with regards to SD in the CI.

The paper is devoted to the investigation of the current state and trends of the insurance market in Ukraine. A number of indicators characterizing the state of insurance market development, such as: the number of insurance companies engaged in risky types of insurance and life insurance; volume and dynamics of gross insurance bonuses and insurance payments; dynamics of the number of concluded agreements on voluntary and compulsory types of insurance, as well as reinsurance agreements; volume and dynamics of assets and insurance reserves of domestic insurance companies are analyzed in this scientific paper. Comparative analysis of the above mentioned indicators with similar indicators of foreign countries is carried out. It is defined that the insurance market of Ukraine lags far behind the countries of Europe, the USA, China, Japan and other developed countries. The reason for such low development is the difficult economic situation in the country caused by such factors as the change of power in 2015, the occupation of part of the territory by the Russian Federation, which shattered the previously unstable economy. Although the economic situation in the country has stabilized in recent years, this is not enough for the insurance market to reach the level of developed economies. The investigation results are presented in the form of tables and graphical interpretations. The factors of positive and negative influence on the development of domestic insurance market are determined and characterized. The main factor influencing the insurance market and ensuring its stability is the control of measures increasing the level of the population insurance culture and the reliability of insurance companies. Such measures will increase the demand for insurance services, insurers will be interested in doing their best and these factors will result in financial market stabilization. This effect will be achieved if the state and insurance companies act in coordinated manner, i.e. if the state provides the insurance market with regulatory framework with unobtrusive supervision, and insurers perform their work honestly and conscientiously. A number of recommendations for the development of domestic insurance companies and the market in general are developed. The main measures are to attract capital not only from European countries, making the insurance market more attractive, but to develop the health insurance, as medicine is quite expensive and the income is low, as well as to introduce the new insurance products due to the development of all industries.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is one of the essential capital sources for developingcountries which provide large contribution in economic development trough transfer of asset, good corporate governance and especially technology. This expectation is not always provide positive impact to the recipient countries. FDI, which is often implemented in Multi National Corporation, also becomes a tool for the developed countries to control the economic activities in developing countries in pursuing their benefit and interest. Sometimes, those MNCs also have a signifincance influence in political activities of recipient countries. Beside that, MNCs not always provide large attention to the community development. From this condition, debate about the role of state in managing of FDI emerged in political economic discourses. This paper describes about one of alternative thought how state copes with globalization. FDI is one of phenomena which emerged as the concequnces of globalization.Ian Clark suggested two perceptions about the relation of state and globalization. First, globalization has significance implication in eroding the state capacity as economic actor in international stage. Second, state is the key element in globalization process, in this perception there is a position shift of the state from state retreat to state adaptation. This paper conclude that, state also has capacity to control FDI dan globalization which accompanied it’s flow. State must place itself as business actor which has competitiveness. Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment,Globalization, State retreat, state adaptation

In economically developed countries of the world, agricultural industries are actively supported by the government through the implementation of various kinds of programs, which is explained by the high social significance of the industry. Due to the low profitability of the industry, the debt burden of most enterprises, as well as the high wear and tear of fixed assets, the development of the agricultural industry is possible only if it is integrated into the overall system of economic growth. In order to achieve this condition, the government of the Republic of Tatarstan is actively improving the investment climate in this area of the economy by implementing measures such as: - subsidizing the renewal of fixed assets of enterprises (at least 50% of acquisitions are compensated by the government of the Republic of Tatarstan through various programs); - integration of modern technical programs that allow you to control and analyze each stage of production by an enterprise (Agrosignal, Teleagronom, Dayy Comp, etc.); - the launch of new production departments of enterprises (for example, an elevator in the city of Zelenodolsk), as well as the modernization of current production facilities. The above measures, carried out by the government of Tatarstan, lead to the following improvements: 1) the debt load of enterprises is reduced; 2) the productivity of the activity increases; 3) cost savings occur, which, in turn, increases the profitability of production. In addition, these changes have a positive impact on the following important components of the development of the agrarian sector of the economy: - social: a) creating jobs and attracting young personnel, creating competitive conditions for employment; b) ensuring food autonomy of the state; - financial: a) attracting private investors to the industry; b) replenishment of the state budget (through taxation) using one of the main sources of taxation for the budget - income tax.

Modernization Process

The formation of the spectrum of global economic and political challenges for Russia is a factor in returning the issues of economic modernization to the public administration agenda, taking into account the current state and development trends of the country’s economy as a whole and its regions. As a research tool, the system method and the method of statistical observations are used. In Russia, the role of the state in regulating economic processes and its predominance in the structure of Russian economy remains significant. All this makes it necessary to consider the participation of the state in the process of modernization transformations. The article discusses the historical experience of modernization in developed countries with significant state participation, as well as modern Russian goals of state participation in economy, the role of the relevant policy in achieving the goals of modernization (on the example of the “May Decree” of the President of the Russian Federation of May 7, 2018), its contingency with the practices and role of big business as an integral part of the modernization process. The paper suggests ways to optimize public policy in the direction of modernization, taking into account the priorities formulated for the management system.

The main objective of this chapter is to provide evidence that foreign Aid to African countries is a barricade to their sustainable development. Both modernisation and Dependency theorists' suggestions have failed to spawn socio-economic and political development in African countries. Complexity theory may provide a better understanding of the linkage between foreign aid and the socio-economic and political underdevelopment. The current foreign aid given to African sovereign states by donor or developed countries seems to perpetuate underdevelopment. In fact, Foreign Aid to most of African countries has not adequately addressed its problems; rather it has succeeded in keeping most of African countries dependent on foreign aid and in the state of underdevelopment. Using both quantitative and qualitative document analysis of records on foreign Aid to Africa reveals that foreign Aid in and out of itself is not a bad thing, it is among those many important resource inputs, which operate in many African countries which if paved with good intention could bring about sustainable socio-economic and political development in Africa.

The Government

In many open-rich financially developed countries, the central bank (CB) plays an important role in the development of a sound and effective financial system in par- ticular, and economic development and stabilization of the economy in general. In these countries, the governance of the CB is based on the three main principles of New Public Management (NPM) known as the three ‘pillars’, which includes: (i) central bank independence; (ii) central bank accountability, and (iii) central bank transparency. Among them, central bank independence is considered the key and pri- mary ‘pillar’. This implies that the reform of the central bank towards an independ- ent entity thereby could be seen as one of the most important elements of a public administration reform program in developing countries (LCDs), and Vietnam should not be an exception. The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) – as the Vietnam’s Central Bank – has been operating successfully in the last decades and has contributed greatly to Vietnam’s development. However, the dependence of the SBV on the Government has shown a number of weaknesses that should be overcome as soon as possible in the next stage of the development process, especially when Vietnam becomes an official member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2018. In this paper, three issues will be covered, including: (1) The independent central bank and its positive impact on the development and stabilization of the economy as a theoret- ical framework for discussion on the need for and the way of the reform of the cen- tral bank in developing countries; (2) a factual analysis of the SBV’s problems resulting from its high dependence upon the government, as well as opportunities and challenges of reforming the SBV towards an independent central bank; (3) rec- ommendations for solutions to ensure the success of SBV reform in the future.
