If “entrepreneurship has become the engine of world economic and social development” (Audretsch, 2003, p.5), culture is becoming more and more a specific context in which is possible to invest and create new opportunities of labor and value. The principal aim of this contribution is to understand how it's possible for cultural organizations to influence the environment and local development. So, the work wants to highlight - through the analysis of an empirical case of success - what might be the indicators able to create virtuous relationships among cultural organizations and social and economic context. The work aims to contribute both theoretically and practically on the topic of cultural entrepreneurship. The results of this research can be utilized for further reflections in order to develop a framework with high practical relevance.

The article examines modern world economic development as a phenomenon of regional and local cooperation with the growth of regions (subregions) as the main actors in ensuring the socio-economic development of the state, its competitiveness in the world economic and political arena. Capable regions and subregions are able, on the one hand, to reduce the burden on central authorities by taking over some of their powers, and on the other - to take into account the needs of new communities, businesses and other organizations when making decisions in production on public services. The article proves that public administration and their components - public administration and regulation in the field of national and regional (local) development - is one of the most important problems of forming developed market relations in Ukraine, in particular with the formation of a new system (mechanisms and tools) in the field of resource provision of the decentralized model of local governance. The European integration vector of development chosen by Ukraine envisages a significant modernization of the system of public administration in general and administration in particular. The formation of domestic public administration and administration on a qualitatively new basis in connection with the intensification of some social processes and the need to solve systemic problems of socio-economic development of certain territories of Ukraine necessitates deep theoretical, methodological and scientificmethodological study of the imperfection of the public system. management and administration in conditions of resource constraints. At the same time, despite the intensification of efforts of scientists in the development of methodological tools, a universal approach to solving the problems of insufficient efficiency of public administration and administration has not yet been developed.

The debate on the determinants of regional and local development has been stimulated recently by the European strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth defined as Europe 2020. We present the objectives and structure of a new laboratory (SI-LAB) for the development of Sicilian economy promoted by the University of Palermo. In particular, we highlight the fundamental issues related to the incoming functioning of the Lab as a new oganization devoted to analyzing public policy issues, and fostering new ways of entrepreurship at the local level.

Efforts to decentralise the pursuit of economic and social development have increased in recent years. The authors examine the rationale for establishing local development companies in areas of high unemployment and deprivation. The broad purpose is to establish a new style of organisation that combines attributes of the public and private sectors-to adapt and integrate economic and social services to meet local needs, to champion local interests in external arenas, and to act as enabling agents to promote local investment and development. These arguments are elaborated and illustrated with reference to one of Britain's most successful local development companies, Govan Initiative. The analysis reveals important strengths of the Initiative, including its action orientation, commitment to quality, and a local leadership role, but also certain weaknesses including its limited leverage over wider policies and resource flows. Local development companies need meaningful commitment from regional and national public organisations to fulfil their potential.

Resumen: La pandemia de Covid-19 han impactado en todos los ámbitos sociales y aspectos comunitarios, sociales y subjetivos. En el desarrollo local y regional esta situación ha tenido unos efectos devastadores sobre los que todavía es temprano para evaluar sus efectos, de tal manera que es posible referirse a un “antes” y un “después”. En este escenario y contexto inédito de incertezas y riesgos, es posible referirse a la contingencia como un nuevo marco de descripción de las sociedades, en la que los conceptos teóricos del desarrollo local (y social en general) deberán explorar nuevos conceptos emergentes, como son, el riesgo y el peligro, y con ello, repensar la lógica y teorías del desarrollo local, y sus posibilidades normativas para aplicarlo, a partir de la capacidad de autoorganización.   Palabras clave: Autoorganización, Autoorientación, Teoría de sistemas, Contingencia.   Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted all social areas and community, social, and subjective aspects. In local and regional development, this situation has had devastating effects on which it is still too early to evaluate its effects, in such a way that it is possible to refer to a “before” and an “after”. In this unprecedented scenario and context of uncertainties and risks, it is possible to refer to contingency as a new framework for describing societies, in which the theoretical concepts of local (and social development in general) should explore new emerging concepts, such as, risk and danger, and with it, a rethinking of the logic and theories of local development, and its normative possibilities to apply it, based on the capacity for self-organization.   Key words: Self-organization, Self-orientation, Systems theory, Contingency.

The importance of education (which is not only that one of curricula and power) and of cultural heritage (which belongs to communities) has not succumbed to the overthrow and change of paradigm from a solid society to a liquid one, as Bauman reminds us, like those who for years have made education and heritage their struggle and their policy of intervention, patented in multiple anonymous, private and silent (or silenced) projects. The current times show that this intervention - which unites education and cultural heritage - contains a sensitivity, a poetics, an art, a policy, for returning education to the heart of emancipation and cultural heritage to communities, is a form of citizenship intervention, social development and the power of self-determination. Keywords: Education, heritage, citizenship, development, interculturality, cultural entrepreneurship.

Creative industries tend to cluster in specific places and the reasons for this phenomenon can be a multiplicity of elements linked mainly to culture, creativity, innovation and local development. In the international literature, it is pretty well recognized that creativity is frequently characterized by the agglomeration of firms so that creative industries are not homogeneously distributed across the territory but they are concentrated in the space. Three theories are becoming the dominant theoretical perspectives in agglomeration economies theory and they are increasingly being applied in industrial clusters analysis to study the effect of clustering industries. The theories are Marshall’s theoretical principles of localization economies, Schmitz’s collective efficiency and Porter’s five-diamond approach. However, those have adequately theorized neither the institutionalization process through which change takes place nor the socio-economic context of the institutional formations of clustering creative industries. This text begins by reviewing three main theories to more fully articulate institutionalization processes of an economic institution. Specifically, this paper incorporates new institutional economics (NIE) and new economic sociology (NES) to explain the processes associated with creating institutional practices within clustering creative industries. Both streams of institutional theory constitute that economic organizations are socially constructed. Next, this text proposes the framework that depicts the socio-economic context better and more directly addresses the dynamics of enacting, embedding and changing organizational features and processes within clustering creative industries. Some pertinent definitions are offered to be used in a conceptual framework of research about how economic institutions like clustering creative industries constitute their structures.
