Vol. 2 No. 1 (2023)
This issue of the International Journal of Economics and Society presents a cross-disciplinary collection spanning intellectual history, economic education, innovation management, media philosophy, international trade, and human capital. It opens with a study of the Khorezm scholar Mahmud al-Zamakhshari, mapping his enduring contributions to linguistics, lexicography, and Islamic studies across a broad corpus. Advancing the pedagogy of economics, the issue proposes diagnostic criteria and methods for assessing students’ professional and terminological competence. An article on innovation outlines a staged, process-oriented framework for transforming novelties into marketable products and identifying inter-sector opportunities. A philosophical inquiry into mediaspace examines how aesthetic media shape, transmit, and transform cultural meanings within contemporary virtual environments. Turning to international economics, a data-informed review of Ukraine–China partnership analyzes current trade dynamics, flagship projects, and future prospects. Finally, the theoretical and methodological foundations of human capital in the information society are clarified, distinguishing adjacent concepts and discussing the effectiveness of investment in skills and capabilities. Together, these contributions illuminate how knowledge, competencies, technology, and global partnerships interact to drive socioeconomic development.
