This book highlights the importance of time and timing in economic and social development. ‘Compressed development’ consists of two key features and their interaction: the tendency for development processes to unfold more rapidly (compression) and the institution-shaping influences of major periods of change and growth, especially when countries become integrated into the global economy (era). Using an interdisciplinary conceptual framework of state–market and organization–technology co-evolution, the authors contrast the experiences of ‘early’ and ‘late’ developers such as the United Kingdom and Japan, with countries–most notably China–which have become more deeply integrated with the global economy since the 1990s. Compressed developers experience ‘thin industrialization’, layered types of employment, and ‘double burdens’ or challenges in social development. National development strategies must accommodate global value chains and powerful international actors on the one hand, and decentralization on the other. To cope, and thrive, states must remain developmental, whilst being increasingly engaged and adaptive in multiple levels of governance. Compressed Development explores the historical and contemporary features of economic and social development at the intersection of development studies and studies of globalization. By bringing a new perspective on the ‘middle-income trap’, as well as the emerging digital economy, and the state–market and geopolitical tensions that are currently upending conventional wisdoms, the book offers timely insights that will be useful, not only for students of development, but for policymakers, business, and labour organization seeking to navigate the rushing currents of contemporary capitalism.

This theoretical article is intended for complex analysis of complicated phenomena and processes of the promotion of creativity and creative changes in the main areas of the contemporary social and economic life, as well as for the current and most important issues of sustainability, social development, economic growth and technological breakthroughs. Purpose – to prepare, disseminate and implement the new concept of the sustainable social development, economic growth, innovations and technological breakthroughs, the essence of which is an integrated holistic approach to harmonization of various development processes and the use of specific managerial tools and instruments based on the ideas of creativity and creative changes.Research methodology – systematic analysis and synthesis of various scientific ideas and approaches, formulation and analysis of new insights. Findings – a new concept of the promotion of creativity and creative changes is prepared. This concept provides an integrated approach to the solution of the problems of social development, economic growth, innovation activities, technological progress and breakthroughs, as well as of the application of the specific managerial tools and instruments based on the ideas of creativity and creative changes. Implementation of this concept in the practice of the social and economic activities, research and academic studies creates various preconditions for anticipation and realization of new opportunities for social and economic development and technological breakthroughs under contemporary conditions of globalization, European integration and the creation of knowledge-based society. Research limitations – the proposed concept is limited to the cases of the research on general tendencies and the development processes of the society, as well as to the cases of the macroeconomic analysis and preparation of the strategic decisions for social, economic, political and technological development. Originality/Value – the new insights and perspective ideas provided for the priorities of the various social sciences and humanities, particularly – sociology, economics and management science, and of the application of the specific management tools, are described and analyzed. Orientation to these insights and ideas highlights new significant trends in the scientific research.

Written by a social development practitioner, this paper applies a Goethean approach to the social sphere. The contention being that the Goethean method and understanding can be extended to working with social development processes; equally, that facilitation of social process is enhanced and deepened through a Goethean sensibility. The bulk of the paper, book ended by two obliquely apposite short stories, follows the process of a collaborative enquiry (facilitated by the author) during which participants reflected on a particular social phenomenon. The paper is an illustration of the value of the Goethean approach not only to the (social) phenomenon itself but to the sensibility of participants and groups which undertake it. It also serves to extend the realm of Goethean application into a sphere which is in desperate need of such sensibility.

Remittances have become a very important keyword within the international development discourse. The core purpose of the paper presented is to highlight the enormous potential of remittance-flows to finance and set in motion development processes. Thus, this paper discusses the main facts concerning remittances, demonstrating their positive impact on sustainable economic and social development and poverty reduction on both micro- and macroeconomic levels. To do so, theory is accompanied by several country case studies and interviews with people concerned, representing different types of remittance – characters. Problems arising in this process such as commitments, dependency or relying on remittances are always kept in mind and also dealt with.

The article is devoted to the concept of advanced legal effect, targets of legal prognosis, such as scientific prognostication of dynamics of legal conditions, optimal legal effect on social and politic processes, avoidance of possible deviations. Elements of juridical prognosis are determined: borders and contents of perspective legal regulation, means of correlation of social development processes and their legal reverberation. Theses correlation could help to ascertain cause-and-effect relations in the legal system, dynamics of legal regulations in national and international law, dynamics of statutes and functions of subjects of law, legal risks. All these elements would stimulate minimizing of negative consequences. Methods of prognostication and a range of criteria for an estimation of results are also considered in the article.

The paper focuses on nonlinear sociocultural dynamics inherent in a number of modern development processes. New approaches which reject the linear interpretation of social development and take into account its complexity and risks are discussed in the paper. The author analyses the types of non-economic capital (human, intellectual, social, cultural, sembolic and environmental) and their influence on the processes of the development and modernization.
