Abstract
Various indicators are used to characterise national scientific and educational systems (SES), but they do not provide clear disposition within global knowledge economy. The paper deals with the disposition of modern national SES in Romania and Ukraine, conducts the testing of methods of building competitive maps of global scientific and educational space (SESp) using the sample of intellectual property rights (IPR) protection. The work provides reasons for choice of indicators for mapping global SESp. Analysis of correlation of these parameters with GDP per capita shows that over the past decade there was closest correlation with quality of IPR protection, which causes high competitive status of developed countries. The publication confirms the hypothesis of the need to consider the size of GDP per capita to meet the task of building of competitive market map (CMM) based on qualitative indicators. The analysis of SESp maps reveals few leaders and shows that a number of IPR protection systems are adequately implemented and functioning. Both Romania and Ukraine are found among global outsiders at the moment. Taking into account that the period under review encompassed almost a decade, we conclude that economy is characterized by a significant lag processes in science and education markets on the sample of IPR protection, but there are good examples of fast improvements and their international recognition.
