This chapter presents a framework for learning across boundaries, including concepts of mutuality, interaction, and co-production. It begins with insights on integrative learning in interdisciplinary education, grounded in a shift from content-based to process-based integration, the theory of constructivism, and the concept of reflective equilibrium. After noting parallels with transdisciplinarity, it examines the nature of social learning, anchoring discussion in four theoretical discourses for interdisciplinarity and interprofessionalism (Communities of Practice, Critical-Historical Activity, Complexity Science, and Actor-Network Theory). Turning more specifically to trans-disciplinary work, the chapter examines mechanisms of learning in a communication boundary space, while incorporating concepts of triple-loop learning, reflexivity, convergence, transactivity, and heuristics. Finally, after identifying individual and collective competencies, as well as characteristics of cross-sector expertise, the chapter concludes by drawing insights from case studies across sector boundaries, beginning with a sustainability project in the East India Plateau and followed by healthcare in two hospitals.

The article basing upon estimation of the social and economic potential of Russian Federation subjects shows that the resource model of economic development is suitable for nearly half of them. The advantages of this model are described using the example of the Far Eastern Federal District subjects that could be the proof of the necessity of "resource correction" of regional economic policy in Russia.

Regional Specificity

The paper deals with comparative analysis of occupations in the regional labor market. Occupation is treated as a multi-dimensional space of characte- ristics, whereas a scalar form of a characteristic makes it possible to carry out a comparative analysis of occupations. Using cluster analysis of a pilot region indicators five meaningfully interpretable clusters of occupations were identified, reflecting their regional specificity.
