FOREIGN MARKET ACCESS IN THE SYSTEM OF MARKET RESEARCH

Размер файла138-153 Размер файла  311.05 KB Размер файла Full text

Abstract

The article presents a theoretical understanding of the concept of access to foreign markets in the context of market studies. It is determined that market access is a condition of the economic situation (conjuncture) formation, which has an impact on the elements of the reproduction process. The analysis of this category is necessary within the framework of market studies to complete the task of assessing the current and potential market capacity. The dependence of market access on the state of economic situation in the short and long term is analyzed, including in the context of the descending wave of the long economic cycle since the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century. The inverse relationship is also traced – the state of the conjuncture dependence on market access. Different approaches to market access research are shown depending on various types of forecasts. The issues of access to foreign markets and competitiveness in the system of market studies are differentiated. The problem of determining the primary source of success of export activities – the availability of competitive products or favorable market access conditions – is revealed; the author's view is presented.

Keywords: markets access, market situation, market studies, trade policy, protectionism, long economic cycles, forecasting, competitiveness.

GLOBAL META-RISKS IN THE POST-COVID ERA

Размер файла124-137 Размер файла  306.83 KB Размер файла Full text

Abstract

In the context of the discussion on deglobalization in economic literature, that has been intensified by the slowdown in globalization processes since the early 2010s, there was made an attempt to systemize the key challenges of the world economy at the current stage. Three enlarged clusters of global meta-risks were identified: the rise of protectionism, geopolitical uncertainty, digitalization challenges. Their consideration was based on the scheme of structuring the consequences that arise for and from the activities of the GVCs. The main conclusion was that our present reality remains as codependent world.

Keywords: geopolitical uncertainty, global meta-risks, global value chains, digitalization of the world economy, technological protectionism.

ECONOMIC RELATIONS BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CEE COUNTRIES UNDER GEOPOLITICAL CRISIS

Размер файла134-156 Размер файла  935.99 KB Размер файла Full text

Abstract

The article discusses the following topics: trends in the development of trade relations between the CEE countries and Russia, participation of these countries in the economic war between Russia and the West, the impact of sanctions on economic relations of the CEE countries with Russia, the processes of circumventing sanctions and organizing schemes for exporting dual-use goods to Russia, and the withdrawal of CEE companies from Russia. Particular attention is paid to the consequences of both the energy crisis and the restructuring of resource supply chains for the economies of CEE countries. It is concluded that anti-Russian sanctions and the energy crisis have caused more significant damage to the economies of CEE countries compared to most other EU countries, and that there are little chances for the restoration of economic ties between Russia and CEE countries in the current geopolitical situation.

Keywords: Russia, Eastern Europe, trade, energy carriers, sanctions, energy crisis, economic war, inflation, economic growth.

LEGAL FOUNDATIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF BILATERAL RELATIONS BETWEEN THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA AND THE EUROPEAN UNION

Размер файла166-180 Размер файла  313.28 KB Размер файла Full text

Abstract

The Korea-EU relation has developed based on multilateral and bilateral legal infrastructures. Among the international legal document, the three bilateral agreements between Korea and EU provide the foundational basis for the bilateral relations. First agreement is the Korea-EU FTA which effectively became a legal tool creating favorable environment for development of the economic relations between the parties. Second is Korea-EU Framework Agreement, amended in 2010. It proclaimed a strategic partnership between Korea and the EU elevating the status of cooperation. Third is the Agreement establishing a framework for the participation of Korea in EU crisis management operations. This agreement created a new cooperation field between the partners.

The documents described above represent international legal infrastructures that directly regulate Korea-EU cooperation activities and in this they differ from multilateral documents such as the WTO or the UN laws which can provide rules for certain areas of bilateral cooperation but are not directly related to Korea-EU relations. International laws are cohesively becoming important in areas beyond trade relations and in future may change the paradigm of their bilateral dialogue. Although the two partners may have some challenges and different views of the laws and their application, they main purpose is to provide significant new engines in boosting cooperation between the partners.

Keywords: bilateral relations, Korea, EU, international law, FTA.
