This paper explores the idea of laissez-faire and economic liberation as a corollary to the emergence of the national economy. It discusses the extent to which the individual actor as identified in Adam Smith’s economic philosophy is fundamental to the societal economy. It also reviews the essential role played by the individual actor towards the shaping of national or public policy. Some authors suggest that economic freedom increases economic growth, however for economies that are emerging, it is better for the state to control, regulate and invest in economic activities until their industries are strong enough to engage in competition with large firms from developed nations.

The quality of historical-pedagogical research as illustrated in this paper, essentially depends on the applied means and methods of scholar’s scientific activity and their adopted methodology. Generally, this statement concerns the study of the history of maritime education in Ukraine [ХVІІІ–ХХІ century]. The purpose of the study is to formulate a problem [i.e. creating Scientific Research on History of Maritime Education in Ukraine (ХVІІІ–ХХІ century)], define a structure for the problem [aspects, components], describe appropriate methods and its applicability i.e. significance. It is worth mentioning that the combination of contextual and formal approaches gives an opportunity to study historical events and outline facts for further analysis, synthesis, and abstraction. It also aids in establishing causative-consecutive relations between them. The combination of logical and historical approaches provides the study of every historical-pedagogical phenomenon in its development as well as its status in a certain historical period. Hence, the theoretical basis of a scientific research is considered as defining a methodological ground of a scientific study. It is established that such an activity in maritime education in Ukraine should be cyclic and consist of systematic and empirically robust steps.

The article deals with the definition of the term “subject-subject interaction” on the grounds of the scientific and pedagogical literature analysis. This technology involves the highest level of pedagogical interactions which may be characterized by students’ and teachers’ cooperation, partnership and reflexive management. The author highlights the main ways to efficiently realize the subject-subject interaction in the process of teaching foreign language communication in higher educational establishments. In addition, it is proven that the application of these interactive technologies increases the interest of participants and increases their enthusiasm for information exchange. It also helps them to discuss academic problems, persist in their ideas, prove their point of view or to put forward other problem-solution.
