  The paper raises questions on regeions status in a global economy and put forward "glocality" issue - new local opportunities for dynamic growth, which globalization opens for. High participation of women on labour market is one of the important factors here, therefore gender equality is analysed as well as capability concept and examples. The Nordic countries experience illustrates potential.

  Markedsliberalisering og samfunnsutvikling på 1990- og 2000-tallet presser frem en ny organisering av samfunnet og næringsvirksomheten, og endrer forutsetninger for kunnskapsutvikling og formidling ved universiteter og høgskoler. Internasjonal Økonomi studium etablert i 1991 ved Østfold Distriktshøgskole og videreført ved Høgskolen i Østfold viser hvordan et nytt studieprogram har utviklet seg i tiårsperiode fra norsk til internasjonalt tilbud, med studenter fra tre kontinenter og 6-11 land. Videreutvikling av studiet sees i forhold til kvalitetsreformen.

  Rok 2008 można nazwać punktem zwrotnym w rozwoju współczesnego kapitalizmu, ponieważ załamanie nadmiernie rozbudowanego sektora finansowego w gospodarkach rynkowych krajów kapitalistycznych ujawniło ułomności systemu oraz nieprawdziwość tezy o samoregulacji rynków. Zmianie uległy instytucje i metody kierowania gospodarką, a także stosunki między jednostkami i grupami. Referat przedstawia stan i skutki globalizacji oraz jej wpływ zarówno na politykę gospodarczą jak i bezpieczeństwo społeczne, w tym potrzebę debaty i rewizji zarówno teorii ekonomii jak i polityki gospodarczej. Szerokie rozumienia istoty rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego jest obecnie koniecznością, gdyż interdyscyplinarne podejście lepiej odzwierciedla stan faktyczny poziomu rozwoju kraju, także od strony humanitarnej. Przedstawiona jest też koncepcja nowej roli regionów - regionów glokalnych, umiejących wykorzystać dobre strony globalizacji.

  Joseph Alois Schumpeter er en av de store samfunnsøkonomene, med imponerende mangfoldighet - intelligens, vitenskapelige produksjon, fagutøvelse, internasjonal erfaring og ikke minst, integritet. Forfatterskapet hans er rikt og omfattende, rommer både bidrag til økonomisk teori, økonomisk historie, samfunnsutvikling og bidrag til datidens aktuelle debatter. Publikasjonene bygger på ulike metodologiske premisser, hvor logikk er en rød tråd i teoribidrag, mens utforskning av praksis og tverrfaglighet er grunnlaget for studier av samfunnsutvikling og historiske analyser av økonomisk fremgang. Timingen for å se tilbake på Schumpeters liv og forfatterskap er nesten perfekt mht de siste års turbulens og den pågående krisen. Det er mange tanker og debatter om kriseårsaker, og om mulige løsninger, som kan få de tilstøtte økonomier på sporet igjen. Mye tyder på at den siste års bank- og finanskrise kan være et symptom av en systemkrise. I paperet skal det tas opp tre hovedemner:Schumeters utviklingsteori – entreprenørens rolle, kapitalismens skjebne – systemskifte, og hva som aktuelt i dag.

  The paper reflects on questions of socio-economic development, challenged by globalization and change of society, where a regional perspective is of main concern. The idea of ‘glocality’ is put forward as a new approach to dynamic growth of regions. First, the Norwegian policy of gender equality is presented to illustrate the connection between government’s policy and its results - effective labor marked with high employment rates. A friendly social environment and efficiently working institutions are important factors contributing to the high level of economic development and social and political stability in the Nordic countries.Two indicators are worth mentioning: 80% employment rate for women and 2,5% unemployment rate in Norway. Taking the above observations as a point of reference, the paper discusses questions regarding regional development – the status quo of Polish regions based on the EU reports, followed by challenges and opportunities, especially for the less advantaged regions. The substantial differences between regions, shown by development indicators, are often bigger within a country than between countries. Why so and what might be done to improve the situation? Here two concepts of capability are discussed – a workable step forward in finding the proper ‘push’ for the emerging regions. Eastern regions of Poland do have the potential to take up the challenge and build a better future if they ‘utilize’ glocality and capability.

• Tomczak, Danuta (2011). Development indicators - what matters?: The analysis of survey data on Poland. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  The recent financial crisis has started recession in many world countries and regions, what in turn rekindled debates on goals and measures of economic and social development. Does income per capita correlate with other development measures and so, which of the “blocks” contribute most – “institutions” or “human capital” or else? The paper analyses the results of The European Values Studies surveys for Poland and few selected countries 1990, 2000 and 2008 and The COMPETE Survey data for five Polish municipalities 2009, by picking up measures of civilization competences and social participation. Social participation, attitudes towards individuals and institutions are regarded here as relevant factors for building up the modern civil society which, in turn, creates conditions for a sustained development. The results of the analysis for Poland are not impressive and do not match with the GDP growth rates. But the data from regions – if correctly interpreted – open up for moderate optimism.

  The paper presents how globalization constitutes new development scenarios, where global relations bring upon a new type of regionalism ? ?glocality?, where active regions get innovative and converge towards international standards, while other lag behind. The new ?wealth and backwardness of regions? can hardly be explained with established economic theories, therefore an interdisciplinary approach to globalization and development can better fit the purpose of identifying the factors promoting ?glocality? or combating defeat. The Polish-Norwegian research project COMPETE PL-0104 (EEA-Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2006-2010) will be used to illustrate some of the above raised issues (http://www.eeagrants.org/projects/#results).

  Høgskolereformen og implementering av kvalitetsreformens krav anmoder til bruk av nye undervisnings- og evalueringsformer som fremmer studentenes selvlæring og en mer jevn fag- og studieprogresjon. Utfordring for lærerstaben er å finne en god balanse mellom nytenkning/ fornyelse, større arbeidsbelastning, økende rapporterings- og byråkratiskbyrde, samtidig som studentenes forkunnskaper synes å være svakere enn før. Eller kanskje bare avvikende fra det vi forventer at disse bør være? Jeg ønsker å vise et eget undervisningsopplegg, organisert i seminarform, gjennomført i vårsemesteret 2005. Faget gir rom for fleksibilitet når det gjelder innhold, i tilfellet fire emner ble valgt ut som tema.

Financial markets are the most dynamic ones in the recent decenies - how do they function, how are they segmented and what changes into a single country economy they bring about - that was the subject of lectures. The universal solutions are not always well-adopted and absorbed, as the institutions are slow-moving and country-specific. Local knowledge, good communication, confidence and fairness are important factors contributing to the financial markets integration.

• Tomczak, Danuta (2005). Rethinking multilateralism and regional integration in a globalising economy. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  The 1990s signified a new stage of trade liberalisation and integration disputes: free trade has gained renewed attention after WTO foundation, regional integration in Europe had progressed towards EMU, new regional preferential trade agreements were concluded (NAFTA and more), market economy has been restored in the former plan-economy countries and economic liberalism expanded on global scale. The theoretical models of international trade and integration are not very useful to explain the achievements of the emerging economies. In a global economy, as we experience it today, the common approach to regional integration and trade multilateralism should be re-examined. The paper presents the core of the openness/protectionism controversy, debates meaning and progress of multilateralism and regionalism. Selected data on trade, growth, investment and cooperation are presented, followed by a brief analyse of the European Union (regional agreement) and the East Asian countries (non-regional agreement) path of economic development. Which challenge globalisation brings to both? Some conclusions are drawn, but above all questions are raised to stimulate to debate.

  The ongoing process of transition of former socialist countries towards the capitalist market economy has been devoted lot of interest, research and enthusiasm in the recent decades, but the declared success of transition, thou nicely looking in diagrams, is rather shallow. When society development is viewed, there are countless losers and a few winners. The paper analyses the 12-years system-change experience with some historical reflection, because history and social memory seem to be missing in current publications. “Transition” - a very imprecise term – is too much centred on macroeconomic policy models and reform sequence, while the institutional environment and society development get low attention. Integration with the well-off part of Europe presses restructuring dominated by bureaucratic co-ordination, and undermines social contribution to the accession process in the candidate countries. Building historically rooted, socially accepted and truly democratic institutions has to be given priority if the united Europe is a plausible perspective. Integration with the well-off Europe – a target for many post-socialist countries – presses restructuring, but the dominance of bureaucratic co-ordination undermines social contribution to the accession process in the candidate-countries.

  Dynamic trade and capital flows in the last two decennials have contributed to a proceeding growth of the world economy, but not for all countries and regions. Economic theory brings different explanations for the phenomena, but the recent research brings more evidence on the crucial role of institutions. The collapse of the socialist system in 1990s and integration of the Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC) into the EU structures raise new questions on growth and adequacy of economic policy. The paper aims to examine how theoretical approach to integration matches the macroeconomic development indicators for the accession countries. It brings evidence on minor success of economic transformation than declared, and points at underdevelopment of market economy institutions. This “institutional gap” generates malfunctions and may turn into a threat to progress of the European integration.

  The ongoing process of transformation of economic systems in Central- and Eastern Eoropean countries is the examined subject. The paper analyses the process of building a market economy in a two-tier perspective: as historical reflection over debates on market economy, capitalism, socialism - from Smith, Marx, Schumpeter to Hayek, Mises and Lange - and as an analyses of the results of last decade reforms. The lessons from history seem to be forgotten when “right solutions” for the transition-countries are being chosen. The impact of economic and social turn over is underestimated, because “Transition” is too much centred on the macroeconomic policy models and reform sequence choice, while the institutional and social development gets low attention. The dominance of bureaucratic co-ordination undermines social contribution to the EU-accession process in the candidate-countries. Building historically rooted and socially accepted democratic institutions has to be given priority.

  University education is exposed to fundamental changes recently, and one of the important factors is falling interest of new students for studying traditional university subject, foreign languages included. Another factor is the changing charakter of university as a Knowledge Institution. More people in different age continue the tertial education, so the trend - in the author's opinion - turns towards new combinations of subjects and disciplines, which institutions has to offer, and new teaching and learning methods following the above trend. The case from own faculty illustrates the dilema.

• Tomczak, Danuta (2001). A small country perspective to the EU-membership: Norway's experience and the new applicants position. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  De Baltiske land er blant EU-søkere, og deres geografiske beligenheten og økonomiske stilling gjør en debatt om medlemskapets vilkår og dets konsekvenser meget viktig, både mht det enkelte land og hele regionen. Almen kunnskap om det innviklede EU-systemet er ikke særlig stor, derfor blir også den offentlige debatten litt tilfeldig fokusert. Skandinaviske erfaringer og norsk sterke motstand mot medlemskapet kan hjelpe til å få frem mer objektivt syn på forhandlingsprosessen og resultater, uten at noen form for EU-hets skal fremmes.

  Dette seminarinnlegget er en innføring til debatt om kunnskap og verdier som en høyereutdanning institusjon må ta en standpunkt til - i dette tilfelle i faget økonomi - økonomisk teori. Hva som skal være avgjørende når økonomiundervisningen på et universitet eller ved en høgskole fastsettes? Skal alle målsetningene om å erverve kunnskap, utvikle ferdigheter og fremme etiske holdninger realiseres? Hvilke teorier skal fremmes? De er jo ikke verdineutralle...Skal den som betaler bestemme? Debatten om slike prinsippielle spørsmål er viktig, særlig når en utdanningsreform igangsettes.
