<Project Title: Quality change of human capital in the context of
transnational>
<Financial Scheme: >
<Description: The basic questions to be solved in the frames of the
project:
The focus of interest of the research is the situation of
transnational interaction, the kind of stable interaction
that is formed beyond socio-cultural frame of a country. The aim of
the research is to evaluate
the influence of transnational interaction on the structure and
quality of human capital. Under the
human capital we mean the integrated indicator that includes the level
of one's education, cultural
competence, tightness of integration to social networks and the idea
of social and individual sociocultural
space character and nature.
Methods and approaches suggested:

The research supposes involvement of following theoretical approaches:
1. theory of globalization developed by Y. Beck, the one of the few
theorists, who gives the definition
of the phenomenon of transnational interaction.
2. the conception time and space by Hagerstrand and Giddens (in his
structuration theory) that
allows to understand basic principles of action in situation of
transnational interaction.
3. theories of human capital by J. R. Wolsh, B. Cheswick, F. Noimann
and J. Mintcer. Integration
of the approaches of the authors allows us to work out our point of
view on the human
capital conception as complex phenomenon of one's knowledge and skills .
4. the conception of P. Bourdieu, namely the conception of field as
the space of relationships between
the objective personal and institutional positions.
5. the conception of knowledge at hand by A. Schutz, in particular the
ways of knowledge at
hand compensation in the process of establishing stable forms of
interaction.

Methods of the research
For the realization of the project were taken several methods. First,
quantitative formalized methods
that allows to compare main tendencies of interaction in
cross-cultural aspects. On the next
step the quantitative logic of analysis will be chosen, namely the
biographical interview method.
The expected final scientific results of the project:

1. Developing the model of human capital (its development in
transnational interaction conditions);
2. Constructing models of mutual influence of human capital and
transnational interaction;
3. Finding out the mechanisms of the influence and possible causes of
change in structure and
quality of human capital under the influence of transnational
interaction.


The most important results of ICSI MUH in the project development:
During 2005 - 2007 in ICSI MUH several analytical and experimental
investigations were realized.
Their aim was to examine changes in social and relationships in
postindustrial society, influence
caused on them by socio - economical factors, and informational-
communicational technologies
(ICT).
Currently (in spring - autumn 2007) project on studying of influence
caused by transnational interaction
on the quality of human capital was started in cooperation with COBE
University (Japan)>

<Organisation Type: Centro di Ricerca>
<Partner Sought: Required skills / expertise of partners:
1. Research centers interested in problems of transnational
interaction on the theoretical and
empirical level of analysis. Especially those, who have an experience
in developing the theory
of transnational interaction themselves.

2. Organizations that are interested in assisting ICSI MUH on the data
gathering (fieldwork) and
further discussing the of the project.
