The chapter demonstrates the concept of information, knowledge, and the knowledge society. Stress was given to highlight the information and knowledge needs of artisans, problems faced by them, and how they can achieve socio-economic development in a knowledge society. The particular ascent was given to highlight the perceptions and beliefs of willow-works artisans of district Ganderbal, India. The sample of 100 artisans was surveyed and it was founded that majority of them are between the age group of 20-40 years; 63% among them are educated (ranging from 5th–PG above), and there are both genders which practice willow-works, but the majority of them are males. Their tenet is that knowledge can change their standard of living, if there are provisions in knowledge society for creating and disseminating the new knowledge among these artisans pertinent to technology, scientific cultivation of raw materials, marketing, availability of new markets, and potential exploitation by entrepreneurs.

The aim of the research is to develop the conceptual foundations of the strategy of socio-economic development for mining region (on the example of Kuzbass) under the conditions of the fourth systemic cycle of capitalist accumulation. The relevance of the issue is determined by the need to eliminate the growing lag of Russia behind the world economy leaders, which is impossible without a new vision of the role of resourceproducing regions in the national economic system. Integration of Russia into the capitalist world-system on the basis of the Washington Consensus has formed in it a raw-materials export model in which its natural resources serve the accelerated economic growth of the competing countries. The accumulation of individual capitals dominates the social capital accumulation, which leads to a reduction in Russia's share in world GDP and population. This article presents the conceptual foundations of the Kuzbass development strategy in accordance with the new conditions for the Russian economy performance in the fourth systemic cycle of capitalist accumulation.

The measurement of regional development plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life of local communities. However, the process of analyzing the regional progress was challenging as regional development was presented as a multidimensional concept. Nonetheless, the study's primary objective was to understand the indicators that genuinely reflect the development process's various dimensions in the northernmost district of West Bengal, Darjeeling Himalayas. Seven dimensions of development, namely psychological well-being, health, education, governance, safety and crime, energy and environment and standard of living were identified for analyzing the socio-economic development of the Darjeeling Himalaya. A questionnaire was framed and circulated in the region for the collection of data. By applying Categorical Principal Component Analysis (CATPCA), the data collected was aggregated into the above mentioned seven dimensions of development and analyzed the relationship between these development indicators through the Ordinal Logistic Regression model (OLR). The results showed that education and governance indicators had a significant impact on the psychological wellbeing. Governance was affected by psychological wellbeing, while standard of living was affected by psychological wellbeing and health indicators in the region.

Aim. The presented study aims to substantiate methodological approaches to the transformation of the priorities of government regulation of socio-economic development during the post-crisis period in the context of the circular economy.Tasks. To achieve the set aim, the authors address the theoretical and practical problems of the transformation of socio-economic development priorities; comprehensively analyze major problems and identify indicators and criteria for assessing the effectiveness of the government regulation of management in a circular economy; provide recommendations for optimizing management decisions at all levels of regulation of economic entities in the postcrisis period.Methods. This study uses the methods of complex and historical analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, expert assessments, information and communication technologies.Results. Transformation of the strategic management goal in a circular economy implies structural changes in the priorities of socio-economic development in the classical linear functional model of economic entities based on the introduction of a chain of reusable raw materials in a closed cycle. Business regulation in Russia faces the problems of imperfect institutions of title guarantee and legal regulations that significantly increase risks. Currently, priority directions for the transformation of e-government in a circular economy include such areas as legislative support for the operation of economic entities within a single network space, education, technological innovations, innovative design, digital infrastructure, secure storage and processing of analytic databases. The efficiency of government regulation in the post-pandemic period can be improved by developing and implementing comprehensive programs strategically aimed at creating favorable conditions for sustainable interaction between the business and the government in a circular economy.Conclusions. Transformation of the priorities of government regulation of socio-economic development in the post-pandemic period involves substantiating the scenarios and organizational forms of their implementation aimed at anti-crisis optimization of the regional development program. Under modern conditions, a priority goal for administrative bodies is to achieve balanced parameters that would enhance Russia's competitiveness in the global market of goods and services with allowance for the principles of the circular economy. Target parameters affecting regional growth and development include reduced usage and replenishment of natural resource potential; introduction of closed cycles of production, consumption, distribution, exchange; transition towards zero waste technological chains in all segments; transformation of all spheres of socio-economic development to meet global environmental standards in raw materials, components, etc.

This paper proposes the use of synthetic variable to examine differences in the standard of living in the EU countries. The synthetic variable allows to replace the whole set of variables into one aggregated variable. This variable is the basis for organizing and grouping countries in terms of standard of living. The subject of empirical analysis are 24 member states of the European Union in 1995-2010. The analysis of synthetic variable reveals that there are significant disparities between countries in the field of overall socio-economic development. The analysis show favorable situation in Ireland and very unfavorable conditions in Romania, Bulgaria and the Baltic countries.

The growth of poverty and spatial asymmetry in the socio-economic development of territories contributes to the growth of social tension and the discontent of people living in these regions. The article presents a comparative analysis of regional strategies for seven constituent entities of the Russian Federation – the Vologda Region, Voronezh Region, Kostroma Region, Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Republic of Bashkortostan, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the Republic of Tatarstan, based and updated in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation of June 28, 2014 No. 172-FZ «On strategic planning in the Russian Federation». Regions have significant differences in geographical location, raw materials, infrastructure, and income level. The presence in the regions not only of an invariant, but also of a selective list of directions and tasks was revealed. A tool is proposed to reduce the spatial socio-economic asymmetry of the regions of Russia, selected taking into account the experience of the subjects in implementing strategies to smooth out spatial inequality in socio-economic development: a scheme for the development and distribution of productive forces (Voronezh Region): a strategy for the development of economic zones and agglomerations (Republic of Tatarstan ); development strategy of municipal districts and urban districts (Voronezh Region, Republic of Tatarstan); public-private partnership projects (Voronezh Region, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Republic of Tatarstan); geographic information system (Voronezh Region, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Republic of Tatarstan). The proposed strategies will make it possible to increase the effectiveness of measures implemented by the authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Abstract Transport is considered one of the basic aspects of the movement of people, raw materials as well as goods from the place of origin to the destination. Moreover, in the wider sense, transport includes economic bodies that aim to achieve goals similar to those of businesses that produce a wide range of goods required by customers. Hence, the efficient operations of basic branches of the transportation system determine the entire national economy. Furthermore, transport is considered a basic factor of development, both on the macro- and microeconomic scales. The aim of the paper is to attempt the assessment of the road transport in Poland as an important element of macro logistics. Furthermore, one of the aims of the investigation was the explanation of its influence on the level of economic development in Poland. As the source of information, the research used the data drawn from the Central Statistical Office of Poland. The main methods implemented in this study were both classic and order synthetic measure construction. Further, these measures were used in econometric models as well as for the prediction of their values. The main result of the analysis indicates that the development level of the widely considered infrastructure is strictly correlated with the socio-economic development of particular voivodships. The study on the level of road transport development can lead to a better understanding of the socio-economic development of particular areas of Poland as well as the more efficient use of the support funds.

Analysis Of Knowledge

This article critically analyzes the 10 fundamental pillars requisite for positive progression and creation of a knowledge society for socio-economic development in African countries. These pillars or basic rules, fundamental variables, and structures are identified based on the conceptualization of the key principles of knowledge management. The author asserts the transition to a knowledge society requires making investments and managing knowledge competently at the diverse micro-and-macro organizational levels within countries and even regions. However, doing so requires concurrent adherence to the rules and structures of knowledge management which form the fundamental pillars. The first part presents an empirical econometric analysis of knowledge-productivity nexus as an exposition of knowledge as a factor of production and national productivity. The second part presents a logical argumentation of the 10 fundamental pillars, supported by African regional and individual country data. This research then concludes by pointing out the 10 fundamental pillars in their extant state are inadequate and dysfunctional in most of the African countries and, therefore, socio-economic development efforts and resource allocation need to focus on nurturing and strengthening these pillars for the goal of transitioning to a high productivity and wealth creating knowledge society.
