In modern conditions it is important to develop a systemic and institutional concept of culture as a form of knowledge economy. In order to present a systemic concept of knowledge and culture in the formation of knowledge economy, I think the new meaning of paradigmatic and conceptual aspects of economic science is of particular importance. In addition, the systematic representation of the cognition process is particularly important. As shown by the practice of recent years, the main problems in the form of knowledge technology are solved, which will facilitate the improvement of the “cognitive” function of economic science and enhance its practical benefits. The modern stage of globalization is characterized by a number of specific peculiarities of post-dosystem development, which, in our view, is important to the development of knowledge-based economy (knowledge economy). It is noteworthy that globalization stems from adding global dimensional dimensions to the knowledge economy, such as resource-technological, informative, communicative and institutional structures. In addition, we think it is necessary to understand the knowledge of the knowledge economy. This makes it possible to develop culture with knowledge as a factor of forming a knowledge economy. According to the Postindustural Theory, the main resource of the post-denser economy is information and knowledge, the main type of manufacturing activity is the high level of automation of the production, the science of technologies used primarily from the main technologies, and various services are the most common types of economic activity. In industrial society, the field of agriculture, industry - Industry, Postindustry - determinants are already theoretical knowledge with universities, as a place of active and generating knowledge.

Abstract So far, ‘Industrial Culture’ as a term has been widely used as a synonym for industrial heritage. Only recently, a re-interpretation of industrial culture has been discussed, which goes beyond heritage issues by including contemporary or upcoming cultural and creative resources, addressing directly the future development opportunities of regions. Whilst some aspects of this conceptual framework of industrial culture are already applied in some places, there is no comprehensive outline available yet. In the academic field so far no coherent concept can be found. The aim of this thematic issue is to foster a discussion on the state-of-the-art regarding the conceptualisation of industrial culture. This thematic issue has gathered contributions that respond to the following questions: the different understandings of the concept of industrial culture; the role of industrial culture in the context of a post-industrial society and a knowledge-based economy; the connection between industrial culture, regional development and regional identity, as well as the inter-linkages between traditional industrial sectors and creative industries. The contributions in this issue focus strongly on the connection between the industrial past, present and future, bringing together different academic view points on the topic. The issue maps out current research topics and poses new questions on dealing with the wide topic of industrial culture.

The latest period of expansion in the international economy has been characterised by the liberalisation of capital movements, the deregulation of major financial markets and the spread of neo-liberal beliefs in the merits of open and competitive trade, the disadvantages of big government and protectionist policies (Hirst, 1997). The rapid advancement of information and communication technology and the growth of knowledge-based economy have led to the gradual replacement of the conventional resource-based economies. ‘A techno-economic paradigm of information and communications technology and the knowledge-based economy has created a new knowledge-elite class that favours free markets in this post-industrial society, characterized by globalization, decentralization, deregulation and privatization’ (Low, 2003: 30–31).

Innovations are the main form of transformation of knowledge into welfare. They represent a key feature of a post-industrial economy and of the relevant knowledge-based economy in which the knowledge becomes a critical factor and a primary source of socio-economic development. The shaping of the educational services market is one of requirements for transition to a post-industrial society, which presupposes a comprehensive modernization of the country. The statement of modernization itself primarily applies to education, – both basic and further. In Russia, a new structure of higher education was created, in which the leading role belongs to federal and national universities designed to prepare professionals for the new economy and science. In the transition period, one of the main tasks of higher education is to train engineers of innovative type. However, the level of engineering education in universities as a whole does not meet the requirements of an innovative economy, and the most demanded professions do not belong to the sphere of innovations. Young people are still motivated to obtain a profession that allows to ensure high wages, primarily in the financial sector and management. This problem is solved by developing a real cooperation between universities and business, by the expansion of academic mobility, as well as the introduction of additional professional development programs and training of engineering personnel.

The appeals to minimize state intervention in the Russian economy are counterproductive. However the excessive involvement of the state is fraught with the threat of building nomenclature capitalism. That is the main idea of the series of articles by prominent representatives of Russian economic thought who formulate their position on key elements of the long-term strategy of Russia’s development. The articles deal with such important issues as Russia’s economic policy, transition to knowledge-based economy, basic directions of monetary and structural policies, strengthening of property rights, development of human potential, foreign economic priorities of our state.

The last three decades have seen a massive expansion of China's visual culture industries, from architecture and graphic design to fine art and fashion. New ideologies of creativity and creative practices have reshaped the training of a new generation of art school graduates. This is the first book to explore how Chinese art students develop, embody, and promote their own personalities and styles as they move from art school entrance test preparation, to art school, to work in the country's burgeoning culture industries. The book shows the connections between this creative explosion and the Chinese government's explicit goal of cultivating creative human capital in a new “market socialist” economy where value is produced through innovation. Drawing on years of fieldwork in China's leading art academies and art test prep schools, the book combines ethnography and oral history with analyses of contemporary avant-garde and official art, popular media, and propaganda. Examining the rise of a Chinese artistic vanguard and creative knowledge-based economy, the book sheds light on an important facet of today's China.
