The aim of the study is to present an assessment of the international competitive position and development of competitiveness of Polish economy compared to the Visegrád Group countries in years 2015-2019, and to identify the key indicators that formed those aforementioned. The data used for the analysis come from the reports published by International Institute for Management Development and World Economic Forum. On the basis of the assessment, it can be concluded that in the time considered Polish economy was the second most competitive among the Visegrád Group economies, behind the Czech economy, which was determined primarily by criteria assessing business dynamism, institutions, as well as public finance, and health and environment.

The accumulation of knowledge and its use have become important factors that promote economic development as they contribute to a countryís competitiveness in the global economy. The basic significance of research is obtained by defining new approaches in the organisation, function and efficiency of the higher education system (HES) by emphasising its qualitative aspects. The aim of the article is to describe the influence of education reform on economic competitiveness, paying a special attention to analysing and evaluating international experiences from an interdisciplinary perspective, including economics, pedagogy, etc. Quantitative indicators are used to characterise specific features of the HES and the interaction of this system in the overall context of state development. Some aspects of the Latvian HES are also analysed. The economic activity of inhabitants often directly depends on their level of education. In order to reorganise the Latvian HES and increase its competitiveness and efficiency, thus ensuring quality and availability, the Latvian education system must define a middle-term (4ñ5 years) and long-term (10ñ15 years) development plan that is coordinated with national economic development.

Dynamic changes taking place in the global economy make it necessary to function in a complex and unstable economic environment, to which economies must constantly adapt. This compels entities such as the European Union to systematically review and appropriately shape its foreign policy, which involves taking actions to build resilience to crises and secure commercial interests. Particularly in view of the weakening position of the organisation globally managing international trade, the EU focuses on the implementation of Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs), which are an increasingly important element of EU trade policy and are aimed at strengthening the EU’s competitive position in the global economy and building resilience to crises, which bolsters its economic defence. These aspects constitute an important and current research problem, especially in the context of current events in the global economy. The aim of this article is to present EU trade agreements in the context of their importance for the economic defence of the trade bloc, as well as to analyse the changes that have been introduced in the EU trade policy in the last two decades in relation to this issue. The analysis is based mainly on original materials and scientific studies on EU trade policy, as well as data from the European Commission and the World Trade Organisation (WTO). The analytical and descriptive methods were mainly used. The results of the analysis carried out in the article showed that the implemented trade agreements lead to the strengthening of the competitive position of the EU and the strengthening of economic defence. By taking these actions, the EU is perceived as a pillar of the economic security of the Member States.

The purpose of this article is to conduct a comparative analysis of the competitiveness of the EU and the US economies, in a systemic framework, that is, with respect to the main components of country’s economic system that determine its competitiveness. The analysis is based on the systemic framework of economic competitiveness and growth, developed by T.J. Hämäläinen. The analysis of the available data indicates that the US achieved better results in six of the seven study areas, that is: 1) productive resources; 2) innovation and diffusion; 3) organizational efficiency of the economic system; 4) product market characteristics; 5) institutional framework; 6) government policy and activities. As far as the EU is concerned, it has potentially bigger opportunities to benefit from the greater (than in the US) involvement of foreign investors on its market. However, this is not a factor that can compensate for the UE’s weaknesses in other areas. It will be extremely difficult to improve the international competitiveness of the EU without introducing significant changes, that is in particular, without significant improvement of the organizational efficiency and without – even partial – resignation from (so characteristic for the EU member states) policy of maintaining high government spending (in relation to GDP).

Miasto Stołeczne Warszawa ma ambicje, aby zostać światową metropolią, która rozwija się dzięki innowacjom i zaawansowanym technologiom. Miasto odbudowano z ruin po II wojnie światowej, ale wciąż brakuje mu dobrego zagospodarowania przestrzennego i problematyczna pozostaje kwestia nieodpowiedniej infrastruktury i systemu komunikacyjnego. Co więcej, niekontrolowany rozwój miasta poza jego granice administracyjne powoduje, że władze Warszawy nie mają kontroli nad całym obszarem metropolitalnym, chyba że dojdą do porozumienia z włodarzami okolicznych gmin. Niniejszy artykuł wskazuje, że Warszawa nie może być ekonomicznie konkurencyjnym miastem w skali światowej, dopóki nie stworzy się warunków sprzyjających innowacjom i zrównoważonemu rozwojowi. Autorka proponuje utworzenie samorządu regionalnego w Warszawie dla obszaru całej metropolii, z tego względu, że gospodarka światowa jest oparta właśnie na współpracy regionalnej. Inwestycje usprawniające łączność regionalną, dostępność i konkurencyjność gospodarczą nie tylko stwarzają lepszy klimat dla innowacji w Warszawie, ale także zwiększają jej zdolność do pozyskiwania funduszy z Unii Europejskiej, która określa priorytety zintegrowanego rozwoju gospodarczego sprzyjającego zrównoważonemu rozwojowi i inkluzyjnemu wzrostowi. Artykuł sugeruje również, że Warszawa wkrótce będzie miała nowe centrum, w rejonie Pragi, które stanie się przykładem dla urbanistyki i zrównoważonego rozwoju. Model rozwoju Barcelony to doskonały przykład do naśladowania dla wspomnianego centrum, ponieważ barcelońska dzielnica innowacji łączy w przestrzeni miejskiej elementy sektora kreatywnego i prywatnego, który może rozwijać się w bliskości publicznej infrastruktury, udogodnień, parków i mieszkań.

W artykule porównano determinanty konkurencyjności krajów nordyckich, na tle gospodarek zaliczanych do innowacyjnych. Analizie zostały poddane strukturalne determinanty konkurencyjności w latach 2007–2013, zgodne z metodologią wykorzystywaną przez World Economic Forum, IMD World Competitiveness Center oraz United Nations Development Programme. Wysoki poziom rozwoju technologicznego, dobra jakość instytucji państwowych oraz stabilność makroekonomiczna, potwierdzają wysoką konkurencyjność badanych krajów. Dania, Finlandia i Szwecja jako gospodarki innowacyjne, zajmują wysokie miejsca w międzynarodowych rankingach konkurencyjności. Istotę międzynarodowej konkurencyjności krajów nordyckich potwierdzają mechanizmy współczesnego kryzysu finansowego.

The paper is devoted to understanding the influence of economic competitiveness and environmental sustainability on education. It was concluded that national economic competitiveness is linked to intellectual and capital and is driven by knowledge, and innovation. Sustainable development requires an understanding of the complexity of the global ecosystem and of creative problem-solving to find solutions to ‘wicked problems’ such as that of reconciling economic activity with a sustainable environment. It was highlighted the following overarching needs to: give a higher profile to the notion of interdependence: how closely one part of an ecosystem is linked to and depends upon another; making humanity more aware of its own fragility on this planet; highlight the role of cooperation: problems faced will only be resolved by international cooperation; develop the notion of a global public good: environmental sustainability can only be achieved by trans ceding particular national or individual needs.

Zarówno teoria, jak i badania empiryczne wskazują na ścisłe powiązanie innowacyjności z konkurencyjnością krajów. Ważne jest zatem oparcie rozwoju gospodarczego na nowatorskich technologiach, które pozwolą na zwiększenie wydajności oraz podniesienie jakości wyrobów przy jednoczesnym obniżaniu kosztów produkcji. Celem opracowania jest przedstawienie znaczenia innowacji oraz konkurencyjności gospodarki litewskiej na tle pozostałych gospodarek Unii Europejskiej.
