It is commonly known that the neo-liberalism version of ongoing globalization is very likely to harmonize and standardize norms, values and finally cultural diversities. This process is said to be condition sine qua non for enhancing global competitiveness. Seen from this viewpoint the thesis of "one world economy", "one world society" and "one world culture" is logical and plausible. The question countries, especially a national economy lacking foundations for global competitiveness are actually facing is how and to which extent the national interest and identity can be conserved by means of pursuing its own globalization strategy. The Berlin Declaration by Kim Dae-Jung (2000) which created a momentum for reflecting on and seeking the national identity and interest of Korea may be understood as a realistic alternative for the globalization of Korea.

In the context of the interaction of international competitiveness of economic entities and their economic security, it should be noted that globalization of the world economy has one of its consequences a relative equation of the conditions of competition in national markets. As a result of providing by governments the most favored and national regimes, as it was required by international norms of legal regulation of the economy, national and foreign producers find themselves in roughly similar conditions on individual countries or their unions markets. In this case, foreign economic and international security should become a barrier to global threats for the development of national economy and its producers in the global system of world economy. At the same time, the universal requirement imposed on any national economic entity is its competitiveness.

Technological Competitiveness

The article analyzes the level of technological competitiveness of Ukraine in the world economy, allocating the directions of technological renewal of the national economy. Technological competitiveness is defined as a real and potential opportunity for the national technological system to produce final products that are in demand in the relevant markets; as a totality of certain characteristics that form the competitive advantages of the country in the world economy, allowing to withstand competition with other national technological systems. On the basis of the disclosure of the peculiarities of the methodology for computing the index of global competitiveness, Ukraine’s place in the world ranking is summarized, the dynamics of the factor of technological readiness of our country, as well as its other indicators of competitiveness are displayed in three sub-indexes: basic requirements, increasing efficiency, and innovativeness. It is emphasized the need for technological modernization of Ukraine on the basis of innovative principles. It is underlined that the directions of technological modernization should take into account the patterns of the modern stage of technoglobalism, which is the process of forming a single global system of production and exchange of results of innovation-technological activity. In the context of limited financial capabilities of our country and the presence of significant barriers to the movement of new technologies, it is proposed to carry out technological renewal of the national economy through the development and introduction of new technologies in cooperation with other countries.

The article examines the competitive status and competitive positions of Ukraine. It proves that in the current context the competitive status of the national economy is determined by the presence of a strong global competitive force that provides dynamic growth based on innovation potential, developed institutions, infrastructure, ICT adoption, macroeconomic stability, health, skills, product market, labor market, financial system, market size, business dynamism rather than by traditional factors (natural resources, geopolitical situation). It has been identified that a wide range of factors in global competitive force establishment suggests the complexity of its assessment. It has been noted that in world economic practice the Global Competitiveness Index of the World Economic Forum is predominantly used to assess the competitive status of the national economy. It has been determined that according to this index, in the overall ranking among 141 countries in 2019, Ukraine ranked 85th (2009-2010 – 82/133; 2018 – 83/140). The article analyzes of the competitive status of Ukraine in the international arena in terms of twelve pillars of the studied index and in the context of components of the said pillars. The dynamics of Ukraine's global competitive force in recent years shows that there has not been any build up. However, if one analyzes it in terms of the criteria of the global competitive force of the domestic economy, their assessment is volatile: the main regression can be traced in the sphere of the financial system, where Ukraine dropped by 19 positions in one year (2018 – 117/140, 2019 – 136/141), and the greatest progress is observed in the product market, where Ukraine rose by 16 positions in one year (2018 – 73/140, 2019 – 57/141). Analysis of the components of Ukraine’s global competitive force criteria shows that the worst positions in terms of such components are as follows: non-performing loans (% of gross total loans) – 139/141 and soundness of banks – 131/141. The best positions are in terms of the following components: costs of starting a business – 14/141 and attitude towards entrepreneurial risk – 18/141.

World Systems Analysis

This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Education. Please check back later for the full article. World-systems theorizing has its roots in dependency theorizing and the critique of modernization theory, rejecting its claimed linear process of economic development for all nation-states. A founding premise of this work, established well before the advent of globalization studies, has been the need to take the world-system as the primary unit of analysis for understanding social reality and social change. As an approach for understanding systems of mass education, world-systems theorizing has taken on two broad trajectories. One of these, world-culture theory or neo-institutional analysis, has centered on identifying examples of global convergence at the level of education policy, explaining these in terms of a world culture of education that has spread across nation-states through their participation in international agencies and organizations. An alternative approach, world-systems analysis, takes the historical development and operation of the capitalist world-economy, across core, semi-peripheral, and peripheral zones of the world-economy, as the starting point for understanding the nature and function of mass education systems. This work includes the particular construction of knowledge structures and subject disciplines, and their function within the operation of the capitalist world-system. Where world-culture theory downplays the causal power of economic structures, world-systems analysis highlights the interaction between economics and an accompanying world cultural framework under historical capitalism, whose core features can account for the nature and purpose of education. Educational applications of contemporary world-systems analysis extend to work within the broader field of critical education to transform society. Specifically, these applications examine the potential for systems of mass education to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to understand existing social reality, to imagine more equal, just, democratic, and peaceful, alternative world-systems, and to take action toward their realization.

Over the last two decades, the growing interdependence of the world economy and the subsequent increase in foreign trade volume have contributed to the considerable expansion of global logistics activities. As global logistics operations became almost a daily routine for many logistics professionals, they have begun to search for adaptive logistics strategies to improve global competitiveness. To assist U.S. logistics professionals in fostering such strategies, this study empirically examines how the globalization of business has influenced the way U.S. logistics professionals adapt themselves to a dynamic international environment fraught with countless risks and complexities.
