The aim of the article is to investigate socio-political processes in Ukraine on the basis of institutional and behavioral approaches, in particular their regulatory and informational support. Methodology. To determine the nature and content of sociopolitical processes, the following approaches have been used: 1. Institutional approach in order to analyze the development of Ukraine's political institutions. 2. The behavioral approach has been used for the analysis of socio-political processes in Ukraine in the context of political behavior of citizens, their political activity which forms the political culture of the country. Results. The general features of the socio-political situation in Ukraine are as follows: the formed model of government, which can be conditionally described as "presidential"; public demand for new leaders remains at a high level; the society has no common vision of further development; significant tendency of reduction of real incomes of a significant part of the society and strengthening of fiscal pressure on businessmen will get a public response after some time. Increasing levels of voice, accountability, efficiency of governance and the quality of the regulatory environment indicate a slow change in the political system, which will have a positive impact on public sentiment in the future. At the same time, there has been little change in the quality of Ukraine's institutions to ensure political stability, the rule of law and control of corruption. There are no cardinal changes in the development of the institution of property rights, protection of intellectual rights, changes in the sphere of ethics and control of corruption. Thus, Ukraine's political institutions have not been able to bring about any change in the social-political processes. Accordingly, an average level of trust and confidence of citizens in political institutions and negative public sentiment regarding their perception and future change can be traced in Ukraine.

The article is a critical examination of the political developments in Armenia since the 'Velvet Revolution' of April-May 2018, when, on the wave of massive protests against the ruling regime, new young forces came to power raising amongst broad segments of population enormous enthusiasm and hopes about radical reforms that would lead to profound transformations in the political and socio-economic spheres. It contains a thorough analysis of underlying political processes in the country in an attempt to answer a number of topical questions, so important to get a deeper understanding of the situation in Armenia and in the South Caucasus region. Based on the analysis of the new authorities' performance against the acknowledged benchmarks and standards of democracy consolidation, such as: separation of powers, independence of the judiciary, good governance, transitional justice the author comes to the conclusion that they failed to achieve any breakthrough in the above-mentioned fields. On the contrary, as demonstrated by concrete examples, what occurred in Armenia was not a revolution but a mere regime change under the leadership of Prime Minister Pashinyan, who gradually has concentrated in his hands executive, legislative, and quasi-totality of the judicial branch of power.

Taking the cases of Korean garment factories in Binh Duong area, this study aims to explain the phases and causes of the wildcat strikes that have rapidly expanded recently in Vietnam. For the purpose, this study raises several questions as follows. Why the strikes sometimes increase and decrease other times? Why the factory workers prefer a wildcat strike even though it is politically risky, unproductive, and complicated? By the same token, why the foreign management cannot or will not preemptively preclude the wildcat strikes that are usually predictable and the workers are mostly able to accomplish their demands? While answering these questions, this study explores the economic, political, and socio-cultural conditions of the wildcat strikes respectively. Based on the fieldwork in around 30 Korean owned garment factories and the interview with around 100 Vietnamese factory workers in Binh Duong, this study confirms several findings on the phases and causes of the strikes in the area in specific and in Vietnam in general. First, the annual trends of the wildcat strikes reflect the macroeconomic conditions in which the consumer prices and the labor market in Vietnamese economy and business conditions in the world economy are pivotal. Second, however, the influence of macroeconomic conditions on both the management and the workers in the garment factories are differential, depending on the financial situations of the multinational corporations and the workers' capability of reproducing their household economies. Thirdly, the possibility of the wildcat strike in each factory is relatively independent on the financial conditions of a factory and rather associated with the stable political structure and active political processes within the factory that enable the management and the workers to efficiently communicate each other. Lastly, the necessity of establishing political stability in a factory arises from the distinctive social and cultural characteristics of the multinational corporation in which foreign managers and native workers inevitably live in separate and different socio-cultural worlds.

Environmental differences across countries such as socio-cultural, political, economic, and technological differences require business strategies of multinational corporations to vary business practices across regions. Despite the keen awareness of the necessity for strategic adaptation to local context, IS management and strategy tend to remain similar across countries. One of the reasons is to maintain the stability and compatibility of information technology infrastructure. After a careful observation of retail business practice, this study finds IS strategy should also be highly responsive to the local context. This study shows how information resources including systems architecture, processes, human resources, and national context are interlinked together. Despite global excellence in general systems management, failure in such alignment can be a serious problem in extending competitive advantages across regions. This study aims to reveal issues to be taken care of in order to accomplish global technological alignment. Results of this study provide senior management with guidelines and a framework for aligning IT with regional strategic thrust that can improve local responsiveness of multinational companies.

Innovation is broadly defined as the creation or adoption of new ideas and technologies, which has become an instrumental tool to determine the success and development level of a country as it leads to competitiveness and productivity of companies. Innovation is influenced by many factors including geographic and socio-economic factors as well as a political framework. In fact, innovation is systemic in nature, and it focuses on interactions amongst a nexus of processes such as Research and Development (R&D), production, business, and education, amongst other factors. However, not all innovation ecosystems have the same architectural models or internal collaboration. This paper aims to review the structure of the National Innovation Ecosystem by highlighting the different actions taken by the Government of Mauritius over the years. The multipronged approach of the government will be demonstrated through the different lines of actions to boost the innovation culture and offers a foundation for other small island developing state to follow to be at par with other innovative economies.

본 연구는 동래 읍성의 입지, 성곽 형태 및 도로망. 관아 및 가옥분포 토지이용 등을 중심으로 조선시대의 경관 복원을 시도한 후. 일제강점기에 나타난 변화를 파악하여 이를 사회ㆍ문화적인 측면에서 설명하고자 하였다. 가야시대부터 취락이 형성되었던 현재의 장소에 고려말 읍성이 이전 입지한 것은 해안방어 요충지와의 접근성을 최대로 하기 위하였던 것으로 추정된다. 이후 읍성이 위치한 장소는 동래부의 중심 공간으로 등장하였다. 이와 같은 입지 특성은 4대문 위치 및 성안의 도로망 분포 등에 영향을 주었다. 관아시설의 배치는 중앙 권력의 상징. 읍성 군사 방어 기능과 관련되어 배치되었다. 객사 입지는 중심공간에 지형을 이용하여 권력 질서의 위계를 반영하였으며. 좌측에 동헌. 우측에 향청 및 군사 기능이 배치되었다. 읍성내 취락은 남문을 중심으로 분포하였고. 산록부는 농경지로 이용되었다. 일제 강점기 중 1920년대 시행된 시구개정사업으로 성벽이 철거되었고, 성안에 격자상의 도로망이 신설되었다. 평지에 있던 성벽 자리는 도로용지나 주택지로 이용되었다. 객사와 동헌을 중심으로 형성되었던 성안의 공간구조가 변화되었고. 관아건물은 공공기관으로 사용되거나, 민간인에게 불하되어 다른 용도로 이용되었다. 이 과정을 통하여 읍성이 위치하였던 장소의 상징적 의미는 쇠퇴되었다. 그러나 현대사회에서 읍성은 부산시민에게 역사적인 중심공간으로 자리잡고 있으며. 현재 남아 있는 일부 경관을 중심으로 복원작업이 시도되고 있다. 연구 결과는 읍성이 단순히 건축물이 아닌 당시대의 사회문화가 투영된 경관이며, 각지방에 소재한 읍성은 새로운 시각으로서 재조명되어야 할 것임을 보여준다.

본 논문은 1960년대 말과 70년대 초기의 구미공단 조성과정을 다중스케일적 관점에서 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 흔히 한국의 발전주의 시기 산업화 과정을 "발전주의 국가론"의 관점에서 분석하면서 국가 스케일의 정치-사회-경제적 과정에 주목하거나, 혹은 국가관료의 계획합리성에 입각하여 설명하는 경향이 있는데, 본 논문에서는 전략관계적 국가론과 다중스케일적 인식론을 바탕으로 이러한 관점을 비판하면서, 국가 안에서, 혹은 국가를 통해서, 작동하는 다양한 사회세력들이 다양한 공간적 스케일에서 복합적으로 서로 경합하고 타협하면서 산업화와 관련된 국가의 행위들이 결정되었다고 주장한다. 본 논문은 이러한 견해를 구미공단이 조성되던 과정에 대한 사례연구를 통해 실증적으로 밝힌다. 구미공단 조성과정은 전자산업을 육성하려는 국가관료들의 계획합리성에 의해서만 설명될 수 있는 것도 아니고, 박정희 대통령의 고향이라는 정치적 이유만으로 설명될 수 있는 것도 아니다. 국가의 정치지도자와 관료들의 역할뿐만 아니라, 구미지역에 장소의존적 이해를 가진 로컬 행위자들과 한국과 일본을 오가면서 활동하던 재일교포 사업가, 지역과 국가 스케일에 모두 연결된 지역구 국회의원 등 다중스케일적 행위자의 역할이 구미공단의 조성에 매우 중요한 영향을 주었음을 이 논문은 밝힌다.
