The Sustainable Development Goals and Information and Communication Technologies

“…This raises issues about the role of the state within society and here there are both policy and conceptual issues. Turning first to policy French (2002) argued that many states have sought to promote sustainable development through 'a restricted public sphere paradigm which places greater emphasis on the corporate imperative' namely that the state must not jeopardise 'the competitiveness of corporate interests in the wider global economy.' That said there appear to be contradictions in the policy role the ICT industry would like to see governments playing.…”

“…On the other hand, the ICT industry is generally united in calling for government investment in wholesale improvements in connectivity in less developed economies. More generally for French (2002) sustainable development raises fundamental questions about the 'public/private-public/corporate' and while he calls for 'a more collaborative approach' he offers little by way of a prescription of how this is to be achieved. At a conceptual level a liberal pluralist perspective sees the state as a neutral arbiter of social processes, which provides opportunities for all stakeholders to influence state policy and which works for the benefit of society as a whole.…”

“…However, the transformation of the communication structure of the system is accompanied by a negative effect on the system: the structural adjustment leads to an increase in entropy due to the increase in the overall level of uncertainty in the changing systems, the breaking of new connections and the emergence of new ones [9]. The emergence of this new quality leads to the internal resistance of the system itself and is accompanied, when structural transformation is not harmonized, by the emergence of disturbing effects (innovative industrial risks).…”

“…For these purposes, an analysis has been made of the conditions for the implementation of structural changes in the economic systems innovation. It was pointed out that the economic system in modern conditions is an industrial organization consisting of productive capacity elements (personnel, logistics, information, finance) and a combination of the links between them; by means of which the interaction of the elements is implemented and the integrity of the system, effectiveness and uniqueness of properties is ensured when exposed to the external environment [9]. Depending on the goals of innovation, the ways of innovation impacts in the economic system vary depending on changes in the quality characteristics of the product to a complete update of the system itself.…”

Role of International Organizations in Promoting Sustainable Development in Conflict-Affected Regions: Case of Luhansk Region in Ukraine

“…At the same time the global trends and international support make local businesses and authorities more sensitive and adaptive to sustainability principles. As sustainable development became the global paradigm for development of socioeconomic systems of different levels, there is a suggestion to see sustainability as vital "policy choice" for globalization processes, and international organizations as such institutions, that should provide the tools for balancing the "competing interests" of globalization and sustainability (French, 2002) and facilitate innovations which promote sustainable development (Voegtlin et al, 2017). There is an opinion that religion (being world spread and an important social institution in many countries) plays significant role in sustainable development of territories and can serve as an instrument for balancing needs and interests under globalization processes (Semenenko et al, 2014).…”
