The purpose of the article is to present the method of constructing the GTI index used for a multidimensional assessment of a terrorist threat. Next, using Ward's method, groups of EU countries similar in terms of the terrorism threat level will be identified. Particular attention was paid to the position of Poland, which due to its active participation in military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, may be the target of a terrorist attack. The analyses show that Poland is in the group of countries with the lowest terrorism threat level. However, this threat cannot be underestimated. ; Celem artykułu była prezentacja sposobu konstruowania miernika GTI wykorzystywanego do wielowymiarowej oceny zagrożenia terroryzmem. Następnie przy użyciu metody Warda zidentyfikowano grupę krajów UE podobnych pod względem zagrożenia terroryzmem. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na pozycję Polski, która z powodu aktywnego udziału w działaniach militarnych w Afganistanie i Iraku czy rozmieszczenia wojsk amerykańskich może być celem ataku terrorystycznego. Z przeprowadzonych analiz wynika, że Polska znajduje się w grupie krajów o najmniejszym zagrożeniu terroryzmem, jednak zagrożenia tego nie można lekceważyć.

This paper examines multilateral cooperation in Northeast Asia (NEA) through the Greater Tumen Initiative (GTI) as a case of micro-regional cooperation. Drawing on functionalism and micro-regionalism, it explores how cooperation spillover from nonpolitical to political spheres can be facilitated by considering participant diversity, agenda comprehensiveness, and the complexity of cooperation. There is an overall positive trajectory of change as the GTI actively fosters cooperation spillover by expanding its committees and partnerships. However, in terms of committee activities, although its agendas demonstrate increasing comprehensiveness, participant diversity and collaboration complexity remain low in general. The partnerships are in their nascent stages of cooperation, exhibiting limited spillover, except for the NEA Local Cooperation Committee. Moreover, the challenge in evaluating accomplishments within the framework of the GTI arises from the apparent scarcity of discernible achievements. To revitalize multilateral cooperation, the GTI should enhance actor diversity, emphasizing private sector participation; broaden discussion agendas rather than exclusively focus on specific projects until institutional stability is established in cooperation; and enhance governance mechanisms and foster cooperation among internal organizations, currently vulnerable to disruptions, to ensure progressive and sustained collaborative efforts. Through these enhancements, it is anticipated that tangible outcomes will be uncovered and, ultimately, foster micro-regional multilateral cooperation that can significantly contribute to peace and prosperity in the Northeast Asia region.

This article presents a reference model for the implementation of the Government of Information Technologies(GTI) for Higher Education Institutions (IES) in Colombia, characterized by presenting the guidelines to be taken intoaccount for the implementation of the GTI in the IES . The model is made up of good practices, level of measurementof capacity and maturity and GTI indicators in relation to each of the principles of the ISO 38500 standard. Likewise,the model is based on the mission functions established by the IES in Colombia with the purpose of performing a riskanalysis in relation to compliance with the objectives of the IT strategic plan (PETI) of the IES. Based on the model, a webtool called "Diagnosis and Self-assessment of the capacity and maturity of the TIG" was developed, which will facilitatethe process of self-assessment and support in decision-making related to the integration of IT in the university. ; El presente artículo plantea un modelo de referencia para la implantación del Gobierno de las Tecnologíasde la Información (GTI) para Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) en Colombia, caracterizado por presentar laspautas a tener en cuenta para la implantación del GTI en la IES.

In the new stage of global economic development, we hope to achieve both economic development and environmental improvement through green technology innovation. How to effectively obtain the support of technology and finance to green technology innovation is an issue worth studying. This paper constructed an improved super-SBM-DEA efficiency measurement model and combined it with the window analysis method to measure the green technology innovation efficiency (GTIE) of Chinese provinces from 2006 to 2018. Then, based on the PVAR model, the impulse response function and Monte Carlo simulation were used to study the dynamic impact of various variables of technology and finance on GTIE. Finally, the variance decomposition was used to explore the contribution degree of each variable of technology and finance to improving GTIE. The results revealed the following: (1) the average value of China's provincial GTIE from 2006 to 2018 was 0.42, which is relatively low and shows a trend of volatility and rising. (2) From the impulse response results, it could be seen that various variables of technology and finance have always had a positive impact on GTIE. However, there are differences in the influence degree, shock effect, and dynamic transmission mechanism. (3) The results of the variance decomposition showed that government financial technology investment had the highest contribution to the improvement of GTIE, followed by bank technology credit, then by enterprise independent R&D investment, and finally venture capital. This paper offered a reference to developing countries with regard to improving their GTIE and studying the role of technology and finance.

AbstractThe current study contemplates the mechanism of heterogeneous media attention affecting green technological innovation (GTI) amid moderation of chief executive officer (CEO) narcissism. Based on the accumulated data of 1545 listed Chinese firms over the period from 2014 to 2018, we have demonstrated that media attention imposes a significant positive effect on GTI; the negative coverage is greater than positive media coverage in effecting GTI whereas CEO narcissism positively moderates the effect of media attention on GTI. The results also show the regional media coverage is greater than national media coverage in effecting GTI, while the CEO narcissism more strongly moderates the effect of negative coverage on GTI and the effect of regional media coverage on GTI. This study provides new insights into the existing literature by deconstructing media attention and enriches the studies in the context of media attention‐GTI relationship from a point of view of the particular personality trait of a CEO.

AbstractGearing up for green technology innovation (GTI) and natural resources has become even more important in the transition to a zero-emission life, a green economy, and sustainable development goals. This attempt has become a situation that needs to be overpowered much sooner by the European countries, which have encountered challenges in many ways, especially regarding natural resources, energy supply, and the climate crisis. In this vein, the current study follows the novel, robust Method of Moment Quantile-Regression (MM-QR), which successfully yields heterogeneous information structure across quantiles, to examine the determinants of GTI for 15 EU countries over the period of 2003–2018. MM-QR estimation results indicate that the determinants of green technology innovation are heterogeneous across the EU countries. While green growth (GG) has an adverse impact on GTI in middle- and high-GTI countries, the effect of ecological footprint on GTI is positive for countries in the highest-GTI countries. The positive effects of financial development (FD) on GTI are revealed for all countries. Remarkably, environmental taxes have an adverse and positive influence on GTI in the lowest and highest quantile countries, respectively. Finally, renewable energy and greenfield FDI have no effect on GTI. Governments can promote GTI by providing financial resources, in the most immaculate way, to firms that engage in green technology projects, as well as by encouraging these through environmental taxes.

AbstractGreen development is the main theme of modern development in China and even the world. Green development depends on green technology innovation (GTI). Therefore, for developing countries like China in the stage of economic transition, it is urgent to accelerate GTI to gain sustained advantages in the new round of international competition. As an important representative of contemporary rapid transportation, high-speed railway (HSR) can not only alleviate the rapidly growing transportation demand of the public, but also have potential benefits to the energy consumption structure and environmental quality. Whether and how HSR affects GTI has become the focus of this paper. Hence, by employing the panel data of 286 cities in China from 2007 to 2018 with the time-varying DID model, this paper verifies that HSR development can contribute to GTI. The main findings of this paper are as follows: (1) The operation of HSR can not only make the incremental development of GTI, but also improve the quality of GTI simultaneously. Moreover, the quality improvement effect of HSR is greater than the quantity increment effect. (2) Heterogeneity analysis shows that the positive effect of HSR on GTI is more significant for cities that have implemented LCCP. (3) This paper verifies the mediating effect of high-quality human capital. The opening of HSR further stimulates GTI by improving the level of high-quality human capital in cities and increasing the opportunities for knowledge exchange and diffusion. Based on the above findings, this paper proposes some policy recommendations to help developing countries achieve GTI with positive externalities.

Nos últimos anos, na esfera pública federal brasileira, os órgãos de controle externo e interno vêm enfatizando e estimulando a adoção de estruturas de governança de tecnologia da informação (GTI) junto a toda administração pública federal (APF). O presente trabalho identificou, avaliou (com a participação de especialistas em GTI na APF), e classificou os fatores críticos de sucesso (FCS) para a atuação dos comitês de GTI da APF em dois níveis: estratégico e diretivo. Partiu-se de uma lista universal com quarenta FCS, extraída da literatura especializada, e promoveu-se a avaliação desses por meio do método Delphi. No decorrer das rodadas Delphi, novos FCS foram incluídos pelos especialistas na lista original. Ao final da pesquisa, obteve-se uma lista ordenada por importância relativa de dez FCS para os comitês estratégicos de GTI na APF e doze FCS para os comitês diretivos de GTI na APF.Palavras-chave: administração pública, governança de TI, governança corporativa, tecnologia da informação
