The aim of this paper is to analyze the process of the drawing up of the General Education Act (LGE), created under the Franco regime and implemented a few years before the Spanish transition. In order to do so, we pay special attention to the socio-economic moment in which the law was projected and to the different political tendencies that were emerging in the scenario of dictatorship and that would become more visible in the transition. The paper also examines the individual and collective experiences and strategies of other sectors of the population, showing how they swung from recognition to denial of the LGE. The law’s implementation was the result of a critical diagnosis of the education system that implied a need for decisive change in the situation of education, a change that could be achieved by setting legal conditions for the normalization of universal education in Spain. The starting point was the belief that improving education would lead to the socio-economic development of the country while at the same time resolving the situation of ideological, political and social conflict that persisted under the dictatorship and that would be solved, in part, after 1978.

This article analyzes the influence that the educational ideas proposed by UNESCO had on the development of the General Education Act (LGE) of 1970. More specifically, it attempts to establish the impact that this international organization had on the origin and development of the LGE during the Franco regime. To do so, the first part of the article studies the beginnings of UNESCO in Spain and how the educational conception that would give rise to one of the most important educational reforms of contemporary Spain was developed. In the second part, we examine the recommendations given by the «International Advisory Committee for the Reform of Education in Spain» regarding the debate generated by the Libro Blanco (White Paper). In the third part of the article we look at the Committe’s direct impact and the way its assessments guided the development of the LGE in its first years. This work aims to demonstrate that the LGE can be better understood as a reform born under the recommendations of UNESCO regarding the educational context originated within the framework of the Cold War and the Modernization Theory.

The Individual

Self-realization of the individual in the conditions of using the policy of “social quality” as a modern tool of public administration in a transitional society is largely related to overcoming the existing limitations of the individual in acting in such a society and economy transitioning to a market character. Given that, in particular, in Ukraine the market is hybrid (and this is especially important), the existing limitations in self-realization of the individual must be overcome, including, and perhaps primarily, through transformations in the processes of socialization, which differ from European practices and institutions that ensure its implementation. Thus, it is a matter of overcoming not only and not so much the natural selfish interests of the individual, but the existing gap in skills, which are an invisible asset to ensure the endogenous nature of economic growth. It is shown that there is an inverse relationship between the formation of socialization and the policy of “social quality”, which is characterized by the dialectic of interaction between the individual and the group and which is a process of increasing the degree of socialization. The latter, due to interdependence, will serve to increase the effectiveness of interaction between the individual and the group, which expands the possibilities of self-realization of the individual in terms of European policy of “social quality” as a tool of public administration, whose successful application causes new challenges and content of the so-called secondary sociology. The logic of Ukraine's current development shows that new approaches are needed to achieve the social development goals set out in the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union and to minimize the potential risks and threats that accompany current reforms in Ukrainian society. They should introduce new forms of public administration to create policy interrelationships of all dimensions, as proposed, in particular, by the social quality approach to socialization, the nature of which has been revealed in the author's previous publications. As a result, the socio-cultural (social) dimension will fundamentally change, the structure of which must include the transformational processes of socialization of a person, thanks to which they will learn the basics of life in the new social reality and intensify their social and economic interaction on the basis of self-realization, thereby contributing to the success of state policy of social quality and achieving stable socio-economic development.

The main purpose of the article was to assess the eco-socio-economic development of world countries. For this purpose, the Comprehensive Eco-Socio-Economic Development Index (CESEDI) was proposed and used. The proposed measure is based on a dozen or so indicators recognized and used in the literature for assessing countries in terms of their social, economic and environmental achievements. An attempt was made to include most of the elements necessary for the safe, healthy and happy life of citizens of the studied countries. The article presents world leaders, based on the CESEDI. Moreover, the individual components of the CESEDI and their level in the analyzed countries are presented. It was found, inter alia, that 18 out of 20 countries with the highest CESEDI are European countries. The ranking leaders were highly developed Scandinavian countries (Norway, Denmark, Finland) and Switzerland. The countries of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe (Slovenia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland and Romania) took high positions in the ranking, ahead of such countries as Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan and the United States. Research results indicate that European and South American countries are, on average, more developed in terms of ecological, social and economic development than countries in the rest of the world.

The purpose of the article is to develop the bases of citizen participation in the management of state affairs. The theme of the research is the participation of civil society in the process of integration in its different stages, as well as the conditions and processes of institutionalization of civil society. The objective is to study the forms of participation of civil society in the integration process and the dynamics of institutionalization of the latter. Comparative analysis was a key method. The results show that democratic civic institutions in countries with a high level of socio-economic development show a higher level of political activity than democratic institutions with a low level of socio-economic development. The effectiveness of control over the activities of public authorities is greater in the institutional agents of civil society than in the individual ones. In conclusion, the list of forms of interaction between civic and public institutions was expanded. Moreover, the article identifies new elements of the legislative machine for the control of public authorities by democratic civic institutions that seek to increase social control in thepoliticalsystem.

It is obvious that schools can exert a great influence as appropriate areas to foster a fairer and more equitable society, with greater moral, civic and political commitment among citizens. Civic education contributes to this end and, therefore, it has been introduced -with different appellations- in the curriculums of most Western countries to facilitate citizens the assumption of their rights and responsibilities. This is considered as one way of transmitting the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes for young people to become active citizens with the capacity to build the future for our democratic societies. The education reforms performed in different countries highlight the need for citizenship education by advocating for their incorporation in the syllabus. The objective of this article is to point out the attention that civic education has received in Spain, specially from the implementation of the 1970 General Education Act. To do so, the successive reforms that have been introduced until today are analyzed. We ask ourselves whether these curricular reforms succeed in improving the civic competence of our students. As a main conclusion it has been established that a discourse supporting democracy, social responsibility, interculturalism and civic participation can only be effective with the commitment of the teaching staff, family and society as a whole.

Threat Index

The consequences of the fourth industrial revolution caused an increase in the level of computerization and digitalization of society, which led to problems related to the protection of information of individual users, companies and the state as a whole. The aim of this paper is to analyze the effectiveness of the information security system of countries in terms of its ability to counter information threats. Two groups of input indicators were used for this purpose. The first group was formed by 12 indicators of the country’s world development, which were selected from the World Bank database and based on the results of correlation analysis. The second group includes 5 information technology indicators that characterize certain areas of information security: information technology development, digitalization of the country, countries’ commitment to cybersecurity, readiness to counter cyber threats and use the latest information and communication technologies. The country’s information security threat index is used as a starting point. Data from 159 countries of the world for 2018 were taken for the analysis, as for this number of countries and period there is a complete set of data on selected indicators. Country data were considered based on clusters, which allowed the use of 7 groups. The analysis was performed using the analytical tool Frontier Analyst. The study built CRR and BCC models, among which CRR was preferred, which allowed a more critical assessment of the potential of countries. The paper analyzes the structural effectiveness of socio-economic development indicators and information security indicators of countries, considering the current level of the information security threat index. As a result, the following were identified: an increase in government security spending for zero-cluster countries; the need to transform the information technology component for the countries of the first and second clusters; increasing personal protection, strengthening corruption control and legal regulation for third cluster countries; the need for economic growth and higher social standards for the fourth, fifth and sixth clusters. The obtained models allowed us to estimate the maximum level of growth of the information security threat index with the available resource potential of the country. As a result, it was found that the largest increase in the information security threat index is possible due to the existing potential of the countries of the zero and fifth clusters, which will increase the effectiveness of their response to information threats.

In 2017, the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) celebrated its 175th anniversary, just as the 150th anniversary of the Canadian Confederation was celebrated. In many ways, the development of this organization over its long history parallels the exploration and economic development of our country, and these two stories are very closely intertwined. In its early days, the GSC was involved in charting the essential geography of Canada’s landmass, and early GSC geologists were involved in some of the discoveries that laid a foundation for our modern resource economy. In the 21st century, the GSC remains at the forefront of geoscience research across the nation, collaborating with many Provincial and Territorial partners and also with academic and industry researchers to expand our knowledge and find ways to sustainably develop our resources. Like all organizations, GSC has evolved over the years, and must continue to do so in response to technological innovation and societal demands. This article provides an overview of where we came from, where we have been, where we are today, and where we hope to go in the future. It is hoped that it will provide a starting point for other articles highlighting some of GSC’s more specific scientific contributions over the years, and exploring some of the many characters who colourfully populate its long history.RÉSUMÉEn 2017, la Commission géologique du Canada (CGC) a célébré son 175ème anniversaire, alors que l’on célébrait le 150ème anniversaire de la confédération canadienne. De plusieurs façons, le développement de cette organisation au cours de sa longue histoire suit en parallèle l’exploration et le développement économique de notre pays, et ces deux histoires sont très intimement inter-reliées. Dans ses premiers jours, la CGC a été impliquée dans la cartographie géographique essentielle de la masse continentale du Canada, et ses premiers géologues de la CGC ont été impliqués dans certaines des découvertes qui ont jeté les bases de notre économie moderne des ressources. Au XXIe siècle, la CGC reste à l’avant-garde de la recherche géoscientifique à travers le pays et collabore avec de nombreux partenaires provinciaux et territoriaux ainsi qu’avec des chercheurs universitaires et industriels afin d’élargir nos connaissances et de trouver des moyens de développer nos ressources de manière durable. Comme toutes les organisations, la CGC a évolué au cours des années, et doit continuer de le faire en réponse à l’innovation technologique et aux besoins sociétaux. Cet article fourni un aperçu de nos origines, de notre cheminement, de notre situation actuelle et de nos objectifs futurs. On espère que cela fournira un point de départ pour d’autres articles mettant en lumière certaines des contributions scientifiques plus spécifiques de la CGC au fil des ans et explorant certains des nombreux personnages qui peuplent de manière colorée sa longue histoire.

In the article, the process of professional self-realization of the individual is interpreted as determinants of the scientific, technical andsocio-economic development of society from the standpoint of dialectical materialism as a theoretical and methodological basis of domestic psychological science. Self-realization is considered as a process of subjects` realization in a professional activity of universally-active abilities, that ensuring the creation of social values which determine the progressive cultural-historical and socio-economic development of society. The basics of the study of the problem of self-realization which began intensively developed in the domestic psychological science since the 1970`s were laid in the works of S.L. Rubinstein, formulated in the 1920`s principle of creative independent activity, in which person creating socially valuable products purposefully manifests and develops his own essential forces, enriches society with cultural results of life activity, contributing to its development. A self-fulfilling person is characterized by an active civic position, manifested in self-determination, initiative, self-discipline, responsibility, independence in activities aimed at creating of public goods, a reflective type of construction of one’s being, different from a reactive type of existence, the main purpose of which is only adaptation to living conditions for implementation own needs without taking into account the needs of society. The scientific, technical and socio-economic development of the country as a priority objective of domestic state policy, the implementation of which will ensure the leading position of the Russian Federation among the scientific, technical and socio-economically highly developed powers of the world, is possible only if the subject of being realized his essential forces as universal activity abilities in labor determined by public meanings. The alienation of person from work determines the alienation of an individual from its essential uniqueness, which in turn causes a violation of the course of human phylogenetic development and the cultural and historical development of civilization.

Main Barrier

The article provides a critical comparison of two opposing views on the socio-economic development of Russia: radical liberal and socio-state ideology. The reason for the comparison was the report of Professor V. V. Kossov at a meeting (December 6, 2019) of the International Organizational Sciences Academy (IOSN) (“Barriers to Russia’s Economic Growth”), which stated that the main barrier to economic growth in Russia was government interference in economic activity and insufficient respect for private property in the population. The article shows on statistical data that, firstly, GDP growth should not be considered the main indicator of a country’s success, and secondly, it is the weakness of the state that actually hinders socio-economic development. It is shown that such problems as the elimination of poverty and inequality cannot be solved without the active participation of the state. The main thing is not economic growth and direct democracy, but the satisfaction of the interests of all social groups and the achievement of social justice. This position is supported by an appeal to the research results of many Western economists. Criticizing the liberal position, the authors of the article remain supporters of the free development of the individual and the society of equal opportunities.
