At present time, the issue of defining indicators of sustainable development corresponds to the processes of modern economy development such as digitalization, technological convergence. They are going to replace mining from GDP of industrial countries and decease environmental pressure by expanding economy of knowledge. For the first time, the knowledge index was calculated by the World Bank. It should be noted that the World Bank calculated the indices for each individual country. This would allow developing the necessary decisions and government policies to build a knowledge economy. This goal is pursued by the authors of the article, but in relation to the sustainable development of the mining regions of Russia. The article discusses various approaches to assessing the regional knowledge index, and proposes a new methodology for its assessment based on the main determinant of the matrix and its logarithm. Based on the proposed methodology, the knowledge index was evaluated, which shows the conditions for the knowledge economy development in the mining regions of Russia. The rating of the mining regions of Siberian Federal District was built. The main conditions affecting the formation of the knowledge economy in the mining regions of Siberia in the context of their sustainable development are identified.

Private Sector Engagement

As a leading mobilizer of international development and educational knowledge, the World Bank has been critiqued in two key areas: (1) the dominance of economic thinking in its policies, and (2) its Northern-generated knowledge which informs its work in the Global South. In this paper, we investigate the disciplinary foundation of Bank knowledge, as well as its geographic representation. This study pays particular attention to knowledge mobilization relating to one of the most contentious policy prescriptions worldwide, and one that the Bank has historically supported: private sector engagement in education. By employing the concepts of economic imperialism and policy networks to frame our study, and through the use of a bibliometric methodological approach, we trace the authorship patterns of publications cited in a series of key World Bank documents on private sector engagement in education. Our findings show that the World Bank mobilizes research production from the Global North, which reflects a disproportionate economic disciplinary focus. Moreover, through a mapping of the cited authors, this network is shown to be highly narrow and privileges authors from a small subset of elite institutions.

يحاول هذا البحث توظيف نظرية مقاصد الشريعة في تنمية الاقتصاد الرقمي أو المعرفي، خاصة فيما يتعلق بوضع السياسات والأولويات التنموية، والإسهام في تجنّب آثار هذا الاقتصاد السلبية في الدول الضعيفة عامة والإسلامية بوجه خاص. وبعد عرض التعريفات والتقسيمات لمقاصد الشريعة والاقتصاد المعرفي، نتساءل أولاً عن "مالية" المعلومات في ضوء مقاصد الشريعة. ثمّ نوظّف مقاصد الشريعة في تقييم معايير البنك الدولي لقياس فاعلية الاقتصاد المعرفي؛ بهدف الإسهام في تخفيف الآثار السلبية، وتصحيح الأولويات المختلة، وتعزيز القيم المتعلقة بسياسات التنمية المعرفية. This is an attempt to utilize maqasid al-shariah (purposes of the Islamic law) in the development of knowledge economy, especially in setting related developmental policies and priorities. The aim of this article is to avoid the drawbacks of ‘knowledge development’ on weak nations, especially Islamic nations. After surveying various definitions of maqasid and knowledge economy, we first ask whether information is considered ‘money’, based on the classic Islamic juridical definition. Then, we utilize the concepts of maqasid in evaluating the criteria that the World Bank uses in measuring the ‘strength’ of knowledge economies. The aim is to help correct the negative impact, balance the unfair policies, and realize the higher values in the process of the application of these criteria.

Per Capita

To assess the state and the possibility of development of the economy, countries, regions, due to neglect of the basic principles of the methodology of economic science, without empirical justification, various systems of indicators and indicators are introduced. To assess the consistency of the World Bank Group's knowledge economy index system, a correlation analysis of data on the value of knowledge indices, institutions, innovations, education, ICT, GDP per capita and economic growth rates of countries of the world was carried out, and the corresponding econometric models were constructed. A close positive correlation has been established between the values of all five indices for the countries of the world, per capita GDP. The close relationship between the values of all indices and per capita GDP shows that, due to multicollenarity, it is impossible to assess the complex im-pact of indices on per capita GDP. Thus, the system of indices can be considered redun-dant, and the problem of the cause-and-effect relationship remains unresolved. In addition, the values of all five indices are associated with a significant negative correlation with the magnitude of the growth rates. The results obtained indicate that the system of indicators - indicators of the knowledge economy, proposed by the World Bank Group, is untenable and cannot be productively used to reasonably assess the possibility of economic develop-ment of a country or region.

(2). Compatibility between World Bank assistance standards with the fulfillment of ESC rights in education in Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to analyze the characteristics of educational assistance by the World Bank for the third world countries and the suitability of the World Bank assistance to the fulfillment of ESC rights in education in Indonesia. This article based on the normative legal research method, and employs the statute and conceptual approach. It is found two results. First, the World Bank assistance to the education sector has been implemented in several countries, including Indonesia. The fulfillment of the right to education in developing countries have been experiencing an intervention and support from the World Bank. The World Bank asisstence is aim at achieving the goal of education, and to ensure the aid has been allocated for education projects, and to provide students with global education standards.
