In the XXth century the concept of public welfare was associated with economic growth and its rate. It was assumed that the economic growth provides society with the needed tools to solve its ecological and social problems. Theory attempted to explain the most important factors influencing economic growth and its efficient management. Yet it was discovered that the market economy system is not capable of solving society’s problems. The new type of world society and economy requires the rapid formation of processes, which reflect changing consciousness of the population. These processes include the rapid development of information technology, globalisation, which highlighted the significance of the environment, and the formation of social movements. Moreover, all the issues arising due to rapid changes can be rationally solved in a sustainable way. The analysis of methods used for evaluation of sustainable development has demonstrated that there is a lack of studies devoted to the assessment of sustainable development at the enterprise level. The most common problem encountered while assessing sustainability of the enterprise at the national and regional levels are the inadequate indicators. These should be based not only on the economic, environmental and social dimensions but as well on the technological and institutional dimensions. Another problem is the unreasonable number of the chosen indicators, which do not represent its distinct significance. This paper analyzed the problems of the concept of sustainable development and its implementation at different levels because the progress can only be made when there are challenges to overcome. The concept of sustainable enterprise was analyzed, followed by a discussion of importance of assessment of sustainability in the enterprises with its positive and negative aspects. Guidelines for future research were also established. Darnios plėtros vertinimo metodų analizė mokslo darbuose parodė, kad pasigendama tyrimų, skirtų darnios plėtros vertinimui įmonių lygmenyje. Dažniausiai vertinimo problema nagrinėjama valstybių ar regionų lygmenyse, rodikliai nustatomi tik pagal ekonominę, aplinkosauginę ir socialinę dimensijas, rodiklių skaičius parenkamas gana gausus ir neatsižvelgiama į dimensijų reikšmingumų nustatymą. Straipsnio tikslas – išanalizuoti darniosios plėtros vertinimo metodinį potencialą ir, remiantis analizės rezultatais, nubrėžti pagrindines įmonės darnios plėtros vertinimo tobulinimo gaires. Tyrimui atlikti naudoti šie metodai: mokslinės literatūros sisteminė analizė, įvairių požiūrių sintezė, grindžiama logine abstrakcija. Straipsnyje aptartas darnios plėtros vertinimo aktualumas įmonių veikloje, apibendrinti vertinimo metodai, identifikuoti teigiami ir neigiami šių metodų aspektai, suformuotos problemos sprendimo gairės.

The new concept of “green growth” appears to be an economic growth model, which balances environment sustainability and fostering of economic growth. Yet, much of the green growth research has failed to address the real extent of interconnections and complexity of the relationship between governance and economic, social, and environmental structures. Furthermore, current green growth research tends to focus on the country level, such as the Millennium Development Goals and sustainable development indices, which risks ignoring the additional impacts on micro industrial economies. The lack of connection between green growth and good governance—known as environmental governance—is a crucial gap in practical adoption. Therefore, this study uses Foucault’s governmentality lens to view green growth as a technique of government, seeking an environmentally focused eco-governmentality. We examine the transformation, differential definitions, and critical dimensions of green growth in relation to particular case studies taken from China and South Korea and frame them for future sustainable studies. The findings of this study highlight the significant role of interdisciplinary research, as well both bottom-up and top-down initiatives, on enabling the transition to green growth. The proposed research framework and implementation strategy also identifies new avenues for future research and practices in the field of sustainable development, making it one of the study’s key contributions to the literature.

The world economy as an integrated system has limited growth limits, natural resources are limited, so a new concept of sustainable economic development has emerged, based on a balance of the economy, social goals and ecology. Sustainable development is the development of the country's economy and the global system in which current needs are met without compromising future opportunities. The rapid development of transport infrastructure creates the prerequisites for the sustainable development of centers of macro and microeconomic growth and helps to reveal their potential in the future. The article considers the role of transport as an additional priority for sustainable development at the macro level and the types / functions of connectivity of economic growth centers in the sectoral and regional aspects. In turn, the concept of sustainable development of the transport system involves taking into account the features of the transport system as an object of increased danger and a high degree of influence on the main priorities of sustainable development (economic growth, social system and ecology) of the macroeconomics. It was noted that, on the one hand, the transport system, being part of the country's macroeconomic system, affects the priorities of its sustainable development, and on the other hand, has independent priorities for sustainable development in the field of economic growth and efficiency, social potential and environmental aspects, including issues of ensuring security.

Price is a basic element of the market economy system and has become a leading economic category, due to its functions within it. Ensuring price stability is a major objective of the governance process, as it contributes to creating a relatively stable economic framework that allows for economic development and ensuring a sustained level of economic growth. The global economic crises, in parallel with the regional political instability, aggravated by the devastating consequences of the pandemic situation, emphasize once again the importance of the dynamics of price developments on the macroeconomic situations of contemporary states.

To confront global challenges in the field of environmental security, humanity needs reproduction chains of a new type that correspond to the models of the green economy and the principles of sustainable development. The most relevant concept that meets these conditions is a circular economy. A new round of industrial development provides additional opportunities to introduce principles of circular reproduction. The proliferation of robots and the introduction of artificial intelligence systems will facilitate the implementation of circular innovations. The purpose of the paper is a study of current trends in the transformation of global value chains based on the symbiosis of virtual and physical production systems which form new operating models and contribute to sustainable economic growth. The research methodology includes general scientific methods of cognition, systemic and situational approaches, methods of structural and functional analysis, empirical generalization and comparison, as well as tabular and graphical methods of visualization of statistical and calculated data. The main results of the study are to gain new knowledge about the role of interaction between digital and physical spaces in ensuring the achievement of goals of sustainable development and the implementation of principles of circular reproduction. Studying robotic circular reproduction will increase the relevance of the concepts of a green economy and circular reproduction, which will promote effective implementation of the above concepts in the Russian Federation.

Topicality. The urgency of the problem of state incentives for the sustainable development of regions on the basis of economic freedom, property, rule of law and democracy is increasing in today's conditions of strengthening the role of such factors as globalization, competitiveness and innovation in the world. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to study theoretical, methodological and practical recommendations, which should justify the tools for improving the state incentives for the sustainable development of regions in Ukraine and Poland, taking into account the experience gained from the European Union countries. Research results. Research and practice show that the development and rates of economic growth in the country depend on the efficiency of public institutions. They are one of the most important variables that explain the differences in the rates of economic growth in the groups of developing and transforming countries. It was found that the decentralization of state functions means that it delegates its powers to the structures it establishes, one of which is a region with, inter alia, administrative rights. Therefore, the article provides a comparative analysis of the legal conditions for the sustainable development of the regions in the EU, Poland and Ukraine. It should be noted that both the basis for smart development and inclusive development are important, however, this study focuses on the components of sustainable development, and, therefore, the stimulation of an economy that effectively uses resources, while being environmentally friendly and more competitive. Conclusions. It was found that in all the analyzed countries, the planning documents on the regional level take into account the basic principles of the arrangement, development and land use taking into account historical, economic, ecological, demographic, ethnic and cultural features of the region. Prospects for future research in the field of state incentives for sustainable development of regions are related to the effective structure of the formation of the institutional environment of the state.

This is a critical review of the empirical literature on the relationship between violence and economic growth in Colombia, an interesting case study for social scientists studying violence, conflict, crime, and development. We argue that despite the rapid development of this literature and the increasing use of new quantitative techniques, there is still much room for research. After assessing the contribution of the most influential papers on the subject, we suggest directions for future research.

Commercial activity is the one of the most important aspects of the market economy system. The exercise of commercial activity is regulated by legal rules, which serve as guaranteess for an adequate, reliable and effective mechanism of the commercial activity and also create a favorable business and incentives climate for the development of economic activities, which directly affects the country's economic growth. The freely transfer of ownership title over the shares is an important element, which guarantees the financial rights of the respective owners. Shares as ownership titles can be transferred under conditions specified in Albanian Company law. In practice, during its implementation, were identified ambiguities and several difficulties in relation to the procedure for the transfer of ownership titles over the shares. Precisely, through this paper is provided an analysis of the procedure and identified problems and the possibility to clarify or suggest any potential solutions.

In Malaysia, the Environmental Quality Act 1974 is considered to be the most comprehensive piece of legislation promulgated to deal with environmental protection and pollution control. The Act also forms the basic instrument for achieving environmental policy objectives. As a developing country that strives for economic growth, Malaysia’s rapid development activities especially since the early 1980s have unveiled new dimensions to environmental concerns. Since its introduction more than 30 years ago, the scope and strategies of this Act have been constantly amended, altered or improved in the pursuit of environmental policy objectives. Thus, in the context of environmental protection, the Environmental Quality Act 1974 needs to be pro-active and flexible enough to accommodate new measures for facing challenging environmental problems. These changes provide an indication of the increasing complexities of environmental issues facing Malaysia. This paper examines the development of environmental strategies that has taken place within the framework of the Act, based on Malaysia’s environmental policy directives particularly on sustainable development.
