The paper analyzes the concept of ownership (property rights) as a fundamental category of the economic system. For this purpose, it traces the development of perceptions and understandings of ownership over an extended period of time and the subsequent shift of several paradigms alongside their respective economic theories – from those of Plato to Barzel’s and Eggertsson’s. This includes the emergence, changing, upgrading or dropping of one or another characteristic within the concept of ownership. The analysis reveals the relationship of these conceptual changes with the respective features of each particular paradigm in order to summarize those characteristics which most comprehensively define the economic category itself. Special attention is paid to the institutional nature of ownership, with regard to launching an additional and, in a sense, alternative analysis from a supra-economic, systemic point of view.

The article discusses the connection between the theory and practice of economic integration and some observed structural changes in the global economy. This study derives a new typology of integration agreements and proposes a new, expanded theoretical framework for economic integration, including a new "three-dimensional" understanding of integration and reflecting participation and engagement in integration processes as a new instrument of international trade policy. In conclusion, some questions are posed related to the need for a new geo-economic paradigm for understanding and analysing processes in the global economy.

The transition to a green economy and sustainability have recently emerged as crucial topics in modern economic theory. The green economy is a sustainable vision for prosperity and growth that can enhance quality of life and the whole economy while increasing ecological and social well-being. Promoting the creation and acceptance of sustainable technological innovation is essential to a green economy approach. The major goal of this article is to highlight the importance and factors of transitioning to a green economy for achieving sustainability by reviewing the findings of theoretical approaches (microeconomic and macroeconomic) and empirical research. This article also contributes by outlining the crucial macroeconomic challenges of a green economy transition in achieving sustainability and responding to environmental hazards. In order to clarify the numerous aspects of a green economy, this article provides a generic framework that embraces a number of thoughts, ideas, and concepts and investigates how they connect to sustainability. This paper also addresses some difficulties that decision-makers must adequately recognise to pursue sustainable and efficient transformation and recommends a few directions for future research.

The paper contains a strictly legal and economic analysis of public policies in Spanish cinema production. Often the study of administrative law is limited to a discussion of the instruments, forgetting their evaluation and achieved results towards the ultimate goals of promoting the industry and national culture. It focuses on the regime’s interests reflected on the cinematographic sector of Spain; control, in connection with and resulting from the societal crisis, especially over the morality of a given product and over its economic parameters; censorship; control over information, quotas, subsidies, credits, etc.; market relations and a range of protectionist measures.

Within the vast economic literature, the book opens alternative research horizons, providing an innovative look at economic theory which advocates for a major revision of seemingly immutable mainstream economics.
