CIVILIZATIONAL COMPETENCES AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN POLAND EDITED BY LIBERDA Z.B. GROCHOWSKA A. Księgarnia

Civilizational Competences and Regional Development in Poland

Edited by Zofia Barbara Liberda and Anna Grochowska

The collection of studies presented in this book tackles the subject of civilization competences of individuals and sustainable development of local communities. The term civilization competences was coined by Professor Piotr Sztompka who wrote in 2002: "Civilization competences are a prerequisite for an individual's participation in modern civilization and have a determining significance for the success of the societal learning process."
More than twenty scientific papers prepared by an international research group explain multi-faced relations between various components of civilization competences such as income mobility, entrepreneurship, education and culture, using information and communication infrastructure, gender equality, civil society, social inclusion, awareness of law, quality of the natural environment.
This book is an important multidisciplinary research aimed at researchers of development economics as well as anyone concerned about social dimensions of contemporary problems affecting modern civilizations, wrote in the review of this book Professor Ewa Okoń-Horodyńska (Jagiellonian University in Kraków). It provokes serious thought on the importance of sustainable development related not only to imminent ecological and social threats facing humanity but also growing menaces in the social area such as social antagonisms, mass unemployment and spreading poverty.
