It is an important component of national security, and also a required driver for coordinating development and security and building a new pattern of development to maintain the security and stability of and enhance the independent controllability of industrial and supply chains. According to the principles of taking enterprises as the mainstay, coordinating points and chains, combining advantages and disadvantages, adopting classified policies, and linking internal and external chains, the three industrial chains should be planned as a whole for the purpose of their coordinated and efficient operation, so as to solidly enhance, supplement, optimize, and consolidate industrial and supply chains, enhance support to the core links of industrial chains, exploit preponderant and advantageous links, accelerate the incubation of leading and hidden champion enterprises in the industrial ecology, promote the coordination between central and local governments, optimize the policy support system for the modernization of industrial chains, deepen international cooperation among industrial chains, expedite the construction of independent, controllable, safe, and efficient industrial and supply chains, and significantly improve the stability, international competitiveness, and modernization of China’s industrial and supply chains.

Based on a seminal policy paper (Foray et al., 2009), the Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3) approach was integrated into the reformed cohesion policy of the European Union for 2014–20. This large-scale European experience provides a unique case study of a new type of industrial policy particularly oriented towards the modernisation of industrial sectors. In this paper, we briefly review the fundamentals of the S3 approach. We identify and discuss the main properties of S3 that make it particularly suited to the problem of sectoral modernisation in the context of a mature economy. In the final part, we describe the designing of this policy, which represents a crucial point: whilst the objective of modernising traditional sectors is not in itself anything new, the way of proceeding within the S3 framework is relatively new and innovative.

Many Chinese people view the heritage of industrial modernization (HOIM) negatively, which leads to a lack of appreciation and conservation efforts. This study aims to verify and discuss the efficacy of the present protection system, examining the link between HOIM facility openness and its affecting aspects. To achieve this goal, this study establishes a database of 132 projects focused on HOIM in Shenyang, a prototypical city of China’s contemporary growth. It analyzes their distribution patterns and preservation condition, and analytical methods such as correspondence analysis and regression analysis are used. The results reveal that factors such as private enterprises as facility users and conversion into cultural and commercial facilities have a positive impact on the openness of HOIM, of which cases increased after the establishment of the local protection system. To use private capital more flexibly and effectively, ways to improve the relationship between the rights and obligations of the government and private subjects in the protection system must be considered in future. This study clarifies the panorama of the conservation situation of HOIM and offers insights that may contribute to improving the protection system in local cities in China, such as Shenyang, in the future.

This study is based on the concept of Kondratiev's technological waves as an analytical instrument for examining the processes of technological evolution. It aims at setting feasible indicators for this evolutionary development in order to provide a regulatory instrument for policy makers. In order to do so, the authors analyze approaches used for resource efficiency improvement in several European countries (i.e., implementation of Best Available Techniques, BAT). They emphasize that in Russia, the BAT concept is seen primarily as an industrial policy instrument. While BAT-based legislation is enforced by the environmental authorities, technological innovations making it possible to achieve performance better than that required by BAT are supported by the industrial development authorities. In the conclusions, the authors state that BAT-based solutions could be used as drivers for developing and implementing new technological solutions (innovations) and should become the basis for working out state industrial and environmental policies. The results of policies currently being developed will be assessed by the end of 2024.

Scholars engaged in research into the history of Debrecen have long been eager to get an answer – beyond their specific research inquiries – to the question whether the development of the city had had unique features and if they had what would hallmark the unique character of development? Was there or is there a kind of “Debrecenness”? My study examines – with the help of a GIS relational database (DTTTA1870) – what peculiarities can be grasped in the transformation of the traditional spatial and social structure of Debrecen enforced by the political change and industrial modernization processes two decades after the change of feudal regime (1848/49). The analysis focuses on whether the alteration process of the factors determining the social status (residential segregation, neighborhood, spatial segregation and coexistence, other spatial and social hierarchical characteristics) in the cases of the “deep-rooted Debrecen residents” (cívis) and of the settlers showed specific types described in the literature or showed specific features.

It is well known that a lot of studies have been conducted on the modernization of industrial and supply chains. However, scholars have not reached a consensus on the definition and dynamic mechanism of the improvement of the modernization level of industrial and supply chains yet. This paper clarifies the constituent factors of industrial and supply chains and defines the connotation of improvement of the modernization level of industrial and supply chains from the perspective of constituent subjects and structure according to the characteristics and requirements of the new era. Then, the paper proposes improving the modernization level of industrial and supply chains aiming to make it more adaptable to the requirements of Chinese development in a new stage, the increasing instability and uncertainty in the international environment, and a new round of technological change. To this end, the improvement of the modernization level of industrial and supply chains should embrace the further enhancement of the following dimensions: innovation capability, added value, sustainability, digitalization, safety and reliability, fairness, and smooth coordination. Based on the analysis of the upgrade types of the existing industrial and supply chains, this paper distinguishes the factors driving the improvement of the modernization level of industrial and supply chains from a basic level. It proposes four basic dynamic mechanisms, namely, final demand, factor supply, regional industrial cluster, and integration into the global industrial division system. Finally, the paper analyzes the working way of the four dynamic mechanisms and the main constraints they face, and based on this, put forward a path to break through the constraints.

The aim of the article is to form methodological aspects of intensifying economic behavior management in the context of neo-industrial modernization. The work notes that the sequence and success of market transformations is largely determined by economic behavior of enterprises, their adaptation to new requirements of modern reality. One of the main reasons for the inability of Ukrainian industrial enterprises to overcome the crisis is their unpreparedness to modernize production and increase the output of competitive products. The elimination of these causes requires that enterprises have a certain strategy and tactics of economic behavior. The intensification of management of enterprise economic behavior in the context of neo-industrial modernization as a phenomenon is the subject of study of both economic science and sociology. It is determined that the problem of intensifying management of enterprise economic behavior in the context of neo-industrial modernization can be methodologically overcome. This is possible in the case of bringing up the issue of its absolutist and relativistic assessment, stating that rationality as a fundamental characteristic of economic behavior is a civilized value, has both methodological and axiological orientation. The article highlights the main directions of research on the intensification of management of enterprise economic behavior in the context of neo-industrial modernization, and proposes a methodology for intensifying economic behavior management in the context of neo-industrial modernization.

The aim of the article is to form conceptual aspects of intensifying management of the economic behavior of production railway enterprises in the context of neo-industrial modernization. It is determined that the modern market-type mechanism is based on a polycentric system of management and independence in forming effective tactical and strategic management decisions, as well as full responsibility for their results, through intensifying management of the economic behavior of production railway enterprises in the context of neo-industrial modernization.The prerogatives which are created by intensifying management of the economic behavior of production railway enterprises can neutralize and eliminate the negative effects of the external environment and form an integral part of their functioning including the goal-setting and formation of the concept, which are the basis for developing enterprise development strategies. The proposed concept of intensifying management of the economic behavior of production railway enterprises in the context of neo-industrial modernization is based on a significant decentralization of management functions.This is possible provided that the day-to day management considers problems and needs of the market and orients enterprises towards achieving the ultimate strategic goal of its activity, will allow taking into account the prospects for their balanced development and solve the problem of eliminating the negative effect of changes in the external and internal environment, and also will contribute to maintaining technological and logistic ties, and potential resources of enterprises; based on a wide apparatus of methods, methodologies and techniques for the collection and analysis of information.

Industrial chain modernization is vital for driving the development of a modern country, boosting national competitiveness and upholding economic security. This study examines the impact of coordinated two-way FDI development on industrial chain modernization from the perspective of factor allocation, using panel data from 30 Chinese provinces from 2013 to 2023. The empirical results show that coordinated two-way FDI development significantly boosts industrial chain modernization. This finding holds across multiple robustness tests. Mechanism analysis confirms that the alleviation of capital-labor factor misallocation serves as a key transmission channel. Furthermore, heterogeneity analysis reveals significant heterogeneous effects across regions, ownership structures, investment types, and industry sectors. Notably, the synergistic interaction between downward-gradient inward FDI and reverse-gradient outward FDI, along with coordinated two-way FDI development in the manufacturing sector, has the highest gray correlation degree with industrial chain modernization. These findings provide a solid theoretical basis and practical policy insights for advancing industrial chain modernization.

Industrial system modernization is an important part of achieving high-quality development, an internal requirement for promoting the process of Chinese modernization. Based on the data of 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2022, the spatial-temporal characteristics of industrial system modernization level (ISML) as well as the complexity and stability of its spatial correlation network and influencing factors are revealed through the fixed base difference entropy weight method, gravity model, and social network analysis. The results show that: (1) In China, ISML in the whole country as well as various provinces has been increasing year by year, and there are obvious differences of inter-provincial ISML. (2) The spatial correlation effect of ISML overcame geographical proximity constraint, forming a relatively stable, complex, and multicenter spatial correlation network that radiates across the country. Moreover, the stronger the network connection, the higher the corresponding ISML. And the connectivity strength and density of the network displayed in different regions, as well as the connectivity number and strength that can be formed in different provinces, are all related to ISML. (3) The influence of geographical proximity on the formation for spatial correlation network of ISML is not significant; the impact and significance of carbon emission efficiency difference on that have gradually decreased; and the impact of technological innovation difference has the significant positive impact on that. Our results offer important insights for comprehensively building a modernized industrial system and promoting national modernization construction.
