Global Imperatives of Taxation of the TNCs' Activities (p. 30 - 34)
The tax systems of developed world countries at present are unique and multivarious. They vary depending on the level of the tax burden, the ratio of direct and indirect taxes, the size of tax rates. In the process of tax competition, each country is trying to find certain competitive advantages that will enable it to cooperate effectively with key market participants and fulfill its own tasks. These advantages are especially relevant in relation to international activities of TNCs, which have the ability to choose countries with more favorable tax field. So, to date, countries need to find a compromise between implementation of both TNCs' and their own interests. The article is aimed to clarify the global tax imperatives towards the TNCs' activities as well as improving the leverages of international taxation. In the course of research, the question as to whether TNCs are subject to tax jurisdiction was disclosed. It has been proved that choice of the home country for the TNC's parent company affects the industry in which the company operates. The necessity of reforming the system of taxation of TNC because of violation of the principle of horizontal equity has been substantiated. The solution to the problem may be offered by harmonization of taxation, which is what Europe and the countries of the Asia-Pacific region are trying implement nowadays. The next step will be creation of a new international tax regime, allowing TNCs to carry out their activities freely under any jurisdiction.

The Global Tendencies in the Fuel Sector: Challenges for Ukraine (p. 66 - 74)
The article presents an analysis of the main competition-generating factors in the development of the world fuel sector: demand, supply, stocks and prices. Certain global trends show the multi-directional development of both developed and developing countries. There are the following differences: first, the OECD countries can target their own fuel-energy balances for the gradual replacement of hydrocarbons by renewable energy sources, while the non-OECD countries remain supporters of cheap and traditional energy resources; second, the OECD countries do not reduce the rate of production of conventional energy resources, and the non-OECD countries meet their growing needs, among other ways, at the expense of the aforementioned countries; third, there is a significant disproportion in the energy balance in the OECD countries, which is covered by imported hydrocarbons, whereas in the non-OECD countries there is a greater kinship between sources of energy security. At the same time, the tendency towards globalization of the market for traditional hydrocarbons is unique to the oil market, while only gaining momentum in the natural gas market, and in the coal market the scale of world trade is negligible.

The article is aimed at defining the directions of institutionalization of globalism as a new global social order orientated towards sustainable development in the context of the transformation of multitude of actors in the world economy. The article substantiates a hypothesis that economic globalism provides to detect the worldwide environmental and social problems of the industrialization of national economies and constitutes an important prerequisite for the humanitarian and ecological globalism that can elaborate new global dualistic instruments for sustainable development.

The Economic Sovereignty of the State as the Defining Instrument of Economic Policy in the Context of Globalization (p. 44 - 49)
The modern world is characterized by rapid integration and globalization processes, which have both a positive and a negative impact on the development of each country. National economies operate in the midst of global uncertainty, which is becoming the platform for the formation and implementation of the State economic policy, which should not only describe the conditions for strategic development of country but also adequately respond to the risks emerging out of the complex integration processes. The failure of the State to respond in a timely and adequate manner to the risks will result in lesser benefits and positive effects of integration processes than the impact of destabilizing factors. In such circumstances, economic sovereignty becomes the most important instrument of the State through which it can defend its national economic interests and form an effective economic policy.

The Global Trends in the Alternative Energetics and Improvement of the State Policy in the Sphere of Fiscal Security: in Search for Equilibrium and Markets (p. 38 - 42)
Alternative energetics is an important component of the competitiveness and security of the national economy. Its rapid development over the past 10 years is caused by both the attempts of individual countries to maintain and strengthen their competitive advantage in the world markets and the efforts of international organizations (UN, IRENA, IEA) to consolidate different stakeholders to achieve energy and fiscal security, protection of environment and improvement of climate conditions. The article is aimed at generalizing global trends in alternative energetics in the context of development of the State policy in the sphere of fiscal security. A brief overview of the latest trends in the alternative energetics development, most of which focus on identifying the basic sectoral trends, has been provided. However, the issues of fiscal security in the energy sector remain poorly researched, especially in terms of formation of the State policy, consolidating interests of different groups of stakeholders. It has been determined that in the developed countries a significant growth of alternative energetics is caused by the consistent State policy on creation of conditions for formation of effective branch markets and the solving of so-called energy trilemma.

The Theoretical Aspects of the Development of Global Production Networks and Value Chains: the New Paradigm of Globalization (p. 52 - 59)
The article is aimed at systematizing the contemporary perceptions of the changing paradigms of globalization and international competition as a result of the spread of global networks and value chains. The development of global value chains (GVC) occurred as a result of two distributions of globalization: (1) global competition is manifested at the level of sectors and companies (from the mid-nineteenth century) (2) the concept of trade in tasks arises (at the end of XX century). The publication analyzes the impact of globalization on the international competitiveness of both the EU and the developing countries in the trade of final products and tasks. The model takes into consideration differences in wages, technology gap and trade costs, and provides for assessing the comparative advantages of individual sectors or segments of GVC. Features of the conception of global production networks have been identified as: «imports for production» and «imports for exports», which define international competitiveness on the basis of creation of the intrinsic value added. It is determined that the competitiveness of the economy is determined by the country’s positions in the GVC, and the increase in productivity of companies depends on their involvement in the segments (tasks) with a high level of value added.

Convergent and Divergent Development of National Economies in the Context of Financialization (p. 14 - 19)
The aim of the study is to identify the impact of financialization on convergent and divergent development of national economies. It is argued that convergence and divergence are two interrelated determinants of the development of the world economy. Based on the analysis of statistical data for the period 2000–2018, it is found that the high growth rates of the relative majority of less developed countries, compared to developed ones, confirm the hypothesis of ?-convergence of national economies and transformation of the world economy into a single structural and functional system. On the other hand, the implementation of the neoliberal model of globalization in the absence of an effective institutional and organizational streamlining of world economic processes deepens the gap between different groups of countries, increasing the divergence of national economies, as evidenced by the growing differentiation of countries in terms of per capita income, which does not support the hypothesis about ?-convergence. Under these circumstances, further institutional and organizational harmonization of the global economy, creation of effective national and international institutions and organizations, mitigating the contradictions of the financialization of the world economy and directing globalization processes towards the coordination of the interests of various groups of countries, are gaining importance.

The Transnationalization of Business Activities in the Format of Determinants of Development of the Global Consulting Business (p. 21 - 26)
Aggravation of competition in all branches and sectors of the global economy objectively motivates business structures to constantly improve the quality of goods and services, improve the service, introduce new technological developments, optimization of production processes. With this in mind, the author discusses defining of the progressively stronger trend towards the gradual transformation of the process of natural interpersonal interaction for sharing of experience into a highly specialized form of providing specific professional services, which are known as consulting services. The globalizing determinant, which powerfully influences the dynamics of the global consulting business, is an active development of the processes of transnationalization of capital and production. The dynamic scale-up of the transnationalization of business activities causes the growing needs of corporate structures in: offshoring their financial and economic operations and choosing the offshore preferences; using instruments of the financial tax engineering; the legal and notary support for their offshore operations; optimizing the operating, investment and tax costs; consultative cooperation with the national tax authorities of countries of location of the subsidiaries (concluding tax agreements, negotiating); improving the efficiency of centralized management and the operational effectiveness of modernization of production; and also deepening the internal corporate division of labor in both the fragmented transnational networks and the global value chains. The synergistic effect of the indicated globalized determinants is the main mechanism for the formation in the first quarter of the 21st century of the global model of the world-wide market of consulting services, which demonstrates a fairly high growth rate of capitalization as a reflection of the steady growth in global demand for consulting services.

Network Modes of Global Economic Governance in Conditions of Neo-Integration: Mega-Regional Unions and Global Value Networks (p. 54 - 60)
Global economic growth nowadays provides for the inalienable coexistence of different integration processes at micro- and mega-levels, which simultaneously take network forms, respectively representing the network mechanisms of global economic governance per se. The article is aimed at researching the holisticism of modern integration processes from the perspective of global value networks (GVN) and mega-integration as forms of neo-integration, as well as evaluating the relationship between the degree of inclusion of countries in GVN and an increase in the number of regional trade agreements (RTA) as proxy processes for neo-regional integration. Based on the work of a number of authors, plus a group of ОECD experts, the article analyzes the preconditions of neo-integration from the view of the emergence and functioning of GVN and mega-regional integration unions. The carried out analysis shows that the processes of neo-integration in the global economy at the micro- and mega-levels are congruent. For example, mega-regional integration, as well as the formation and distribution of global value networks, are interconnected phenomena, while the proliferation of GVN precedes mega-integration processes. The dynamics of China’s inclusion in the GVN is more in line with the development of integration processes in the global economy, which is reflected in the high level of correlation between the indicators researched. Further research should relate to the analysis of individual mega-regional unions and the related networks in order to study in more detail the general phenomenon of network neo-integration and its mega-regional characteristics.

On Causes and Consequences of Entering Global Value Networks – Place of National Economy in Assessing the Neo-Integration (p. 29 - 35)
In view of recent developments in the sphere of research on the functioning of global value networks, there is an urgent need to examine macro-premises and the consequences of their functioning. The article analyzes the causes and consequences of the functioning of global value chains for national economies from the point of view of existing links with the mega-regionalization processes. It is shown that a country’s participation in global value chains/networks has its own specific macro-economic causes and consequences. The most common reasons for participation in global value chains/networks are allocated from the point of view of the national economy, specially: size of the economy, pace of economic development, availability of foreign capital, level of qualified skills of the labor force, level of external debt, tariff restrictions, etc. The macro-economic consequences of participation in global value chains/networks are systematized as follows: changes in the employment level, productivity, foreign direct investment flows, exports, GNI per capita and related derived indicators. Based on the consensus, according to which the causes and consequences of participation in global value chains/networks are intermediated by the fact that preferential trade agreements, evaluated by means of so-called political and institutional factors, the following is suggested. Since the largest mega-regional agreements are based on preferential trade agreements, one should expect the statistically significant impact of mega-regional agreements on the causes and consequences of the participation of the national economy as a member of the mega-regional uniting in global value chains/networks.

Modern Forms of Media Globalization (p. 35 - 41)
Accelerated technological advances in information and communication sphere have become a powerful driver of the active deployment of media globalization processes as a complex process of deepening economic interaction, specialization and cooperation of media corporations around the world. To date, the main forms of media globalization have been clearly crystallized and sustained. First of all, a dynamic increase in the total value of international trade in media products and services in recent decades should be noted, which include, in particular, film and television programs, books and sound recordings, as well as broadcasts and similar recordings of events, etc. The next form of manifestation of media globalization is the internationalization of the business operations of national media corporations, with the transfer of their individual links abroad on the basis of direct foreign mechanisms investment, and its main motivations stem mainly from commercial purposes. In addition, the manifestation of media globalization is the growing trends of international fragmentation of media production in recent decades, which are implemented by the licensing mechanisms of issuing printed products by national publishing structures. Another important direction is the widespread distribution of international multimedia newsrooms, which are a model for the production of information and entertainment content by a highly professional creative team of journalists. The expansion of national media brands into new foreign markets deserves special attention in the analysis of the prevailing forms of media globalization. At the same time, the dominance of transnational corporations in the global media market makes the issue of impact of foreign ownership of the media in the context of their service to the public interest a priority.

However, Toyota’s significant secrecy of organizational culture reduces the ability to be institutionally flexible when problems needs a quick solution. It is concluded that with a reliable public-private partnership Japanese companies, investing in research and development of foreigners, improved them and produced a new technological product, which allowed them to a rapid growth.

Influence of Fourth Industrial Revolution on the Human Sociodemographic Basis (p. 46 - 56)
In the carried out scientific work, the authors consider the issue of influence of characteristic features of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on the human sociodemographic basis. The material reflects the data characterizing the status of demographic characteristics, age composition of the population, quality of life and education, and the level of competitiveness of the working population. The materials of the study allow to determine that in the Fourth Industrial Revolution one of the indicators of international competitiveness is the proportion of high-tech goods in the exports of industrial products of the State. On the basis of above mentioned, the authors defined a list of indicators that reflect the manifestations of modern technological development, focusing on the intensity of developing and implementing innovations, which is the starting point for increasing competitiveness in the international labor market under the current conditions. Thus, the methodology of the article provides for the analysis of such data as the dynamics of proportion of high-tech products, the dynamics of the global index of innovation, as well as «Human capital and research», «Education», of the world’s countries with the largest share of high-tech products in exports. The article material also reflects the results of the study that allow to generate assumptions about the need and expediency of a consistent implementation of the global migration strategy based on the global balance of manpower, which provides for a set of measures to weaken the main causes of migration that are formed by the authors in a proposed list.

Global Problems of Mankind: The Status and Prospects of Solving (p. 478 - 484)
The article examines the main global problems of the modern world space, defining the main tendencies of overcoming the crisis and the further path of human development. Globalization indicates the general nature of most processes meaningful to mankind. Modern humanity represents an indivisible system of economic, political, social and cultural ties and interactions, which is significative for the unity of its future destiny. Informatization became the basis of globalization, reflecting the current level of technology development. Global problems are problems affecting all mankind, influencing the course of economic development and social sphere, also ecology and political stability. These problems require international cooperation, since none, even a highly developed State, is able solve them on its own. The number of hungry people in the world has increased over the past few years. Now every ninth person in the world is starving every day, suffering from a lack of nutrition. Both the food scarcity and hunger are among the greatest threats to the overall health of the human population exceeding malaria, tuberculosis or HIV. Responsibility for the planet should begin with responsibility for the country, because the crisis of a separate country complicates the world situation in the political aspect; ecological and resource crises jeopardize environmental equilibrium and complicate the problem of resources on a global scale; an economic crisis leads to social consequences in other countries.

The dynamics of the main indicators of economic growth are researched and it is substantiated that the negative linear forecast trends allow forecasting the long-term recovery period after the current global recession. It is shown that the global recession of 2020 negatively affects the prospects for the recovery of major national economies of the world, given the high probability of the introduction of repeated quarantine restrictions. Based on the analysis of the dynamics of the index of global economic uncertainty, the world economy is confirmed to be in the most uncertain state during the period of observations. According to the analysis of the values of the barometer of world trade in goods in 2020, negative changes in the structure and dynamics of foreign trade turnover and doubt for the rapid recovery of global supply chains were evidenced. Based on the generalization of the results of the study, key distinctive signs of the COVID-19 economic recession have been systematized justifying that, in addition to any recession inherent in the loss of growth rate of world production, the current economic crisis is accompanied by a drop reaching the critical deadlines of a number of indicators of the intensity of global development, which confirms its unprecedented spread and impact on the world economy. It is substantiated that the confirmation of the determined trends allows to predict the long-term negative consequences of the modern global recession, which leads to the need to substantiate the directions of recovery of the world economy and foreign trade cooperation of the countries under crisis conditions.

Transnational Corporations in the Conditions of Globalization of Ukrainian Economy (p. 21 - 27)
This article is concerned with the actual problem of development of transnational corporations (TNCs) in the context of globalization of the economy. The main characteristic feature of TNCs is their ability to plan, organize and control economic activities in different countries. Precisely this is a trait that distinguishes a TNC from other participants in the world economic system. The article carries out a comprehensive study of the impact of transnational corporations on the world economy. The study identifies that the influence of transnational corporations on the world economy, regardless of the level of their development, is increasing. Therefore, foreign direct investment is an important mechanism through which savings are transferred from advanced, industrialized countries to developing countries. Thus, it is identified that among foreign investors the most investment attractive in Ukraine are industry, wholesale and retail trade, professional, scientific and technical activities, information and telecommunications, financial sphere and real estate operations. Also attractive for TNCs from industrialized countries is the investment in the infrastructure of business servicing, first of all, enterprises with foreign investments. It is also examined that most foreign capital was invested in Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, Donetsk, Odesa, Poltava, Lviv and Kharkiv regions. It is concluded that the main task is not to confront or combat the influence of large foreign TNCs, but to align their interests with the strategic priorities of the Ukrainian economy, as well as to create own competitive TNCs. To this end, the main competitive advantages and negative consequences of transnational corporations are allocated.

Features of «Mergers» and «Acquisitions» of Companies in International Business (p. 34 - 39)
The publication presents features of the modern mergers and acquisitions (M&A) process. It should be noted that in the modern world, with the growing global competition, aggressive policies of individual market participants, rapid technological changes, financial regulation and the changing role of the State in the economy, there is a need to expand the activities of large companies. The majority of the most successful companies choose the joint mode of development, such as mergers and acquisitions. As a result of mergers and acquisitions, business will grow and become more influential, and not only national governments, but also international economic organizations will not be able to depend on regulation and management. Today, among the leading domestic or foreign economists there is no consensus on the definition of the concepts of «mergers» and «acquisitions», which is explained by the diversity and complexity of the nature of these processes. The main types of these processes have been identified and their characterizations are provided. When researching the processes of mergers and acquisitions of enterprises, their main differences are determined. It is proved that in an ever-changing market, increased competition and well-thought-out and well-made transactions on international mergers and acquisitions can significantly increase the value of companies. At the present stage, international mergers and acquisitions occupy strong positions in the policy of private companies as the main strategic instrument for business development.

Determinants of the Formation of a Global Inclusive Circular Economy (p. 40 - 48)
The transitive path of transition from linear to circular economy is marked by a change in the positioning of global risks from year to year, which is strictly defined by the determinants of such a change. Thus, the main risks for 2020 according to the World Economic Forum are those related to the environment and occupy the first positions in the ranking for the last three years (in particular, in 2019, the most influential was the risk of extreme weather events). A gradual increase in awareness of this risk has led to a change in the moods of both manufacturers and consumers. Experts assessed climate change as the main risk in 2019, ahead of losses from cyberattacks, financial instability and terrorism. Thus, in order to mitigate this risk in 2020, the global business community proposed to implement circular «constructions», reducing the use of resources and prioritizing low-carbon materials. The potential consequences of the transition to a circular economy regarding greenhouse gas emissions are significant, and they can be achieved mainly by increasing the efficiency of resource use; increasing the useful life of buildings and assets; increase in processing and reuse and absolute reduction of the use of primary raw materials. Reducing the intensity of materials production, sustainable land use and rehabilitation, protection of ecosystems, efficiency of the use of resources and renewable energy sources – all this is related to the concept of a circular economy that will help preserve natural capital. Thus, a circular economy can be seen as an effective strategy to help mitigate climate change.

The Paradigm of Circular Economy in the Conditions of Ukraine (p. 13 - 20)
The article is concerned with the topical issues of present – the principles and foundations of introduction of circular economy (CE). The article emphasizes that, despite the fact that the issue of introducing circular economy has already been widely covered in the scientific publications by domestic and foreign scholars, any strategy for the practical introduction of circular economy at the State level has not yet been formed. Thus, the publication is aimed at studying the key aspects and prerequisites for the introduction of circular economy within the Ukrainian terms. In accordance with this aim, the advantages and disadvantages of the introduction of circular economy in the world aspect are analyzed. The advantages of the introduction of circular economy include the following issues: profitability growth; reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; creation of new jobs. Among the shortcomings of the introduction of circular economy, the publication distinguishes the following: level of complexity of the promotion of systemic changes; economic fluctuations (CE may be non-profit in a short period of time); unsuitable markets (lack of necessary raw materials and infrastructure, competition, knowledge); imperfect regulation (imperfect legislation and/or its implementing); social factors (lack of knowledge and skills related to circular economy); insufficient control over waste sorting; level of financing (both on the part of the State treasury and business). Summing up the advantages and disadvantages of the introduction of circular economy, it is emphasized that, in the terms of CE, the most important value is not being attached to material flows or waste, but to much more sufficient methods, such as maintenance, reuse and recycling of equipment. Also, the research pays considerable attention to the instruments of circular economy and the prerequisites for their application. In addition, each of the above mentioned instruments is considered in the aspect of practical use and analyzed upon existing in the world examples. Thus, among the instruments for the introduction of circular economy, the author highlights: Design of thinking of the future; Virtualization and sharing; Product as a service; Reuse in production; Reuse in consumption; Industrial symbiousness and processing of production waste; Recycling. Special attention in the article is given to the problems of introducing circular economy in Ukraine and ways to solve them. Thus, the research has consistently revealed the problems and ways to solve them at the level of government, business, and society.

Forecasting the Sectoral-Regional Development of the Intellectual Segment of the Global Economy (p. 12 - 23)
The article is aimed at building a forecast for the development of the intellectual segment of the global economy for 2019-2028 in terms of high-tech sectors and regions. Based on the analysis of statistical data of the countries’ economies on the volume of high-tech exports, gross costs in fundamental research and applied developments, the number of registered patent families with details by sectors of the «triad» (information and communication technologies, pharmaceutical industry, aerospace sector) the trend of sectoral-regional development in 2000-2018 is determined and a forecast for the next contiguous period is elaborated. In the course of research, the author identified a significant differentiation of countries according to the models of development of sectors of the «triad», as well as by the nature of the trend line in the time periods 2000-2009, 2009-2018, and 2000-2018. Further development of the countries of Asia (China, Taiwan, South Korea) and the United States with a gradual shift in the emphasis of technological leadership in favor of Taiwan are forecasted. The growth forecast for high-tech exports of the aerospace sector is optimistic. In the ICT sector, a significant dependence of the volume of high-tech exports on the positive dynamics of patent families is identified. In the pharmaceutical industry of European countries, the relationship between these indicators is predominantly inverse. Prospects for further scientific research in this direction are to determine the nature and extent of the pandemic factor’s influence on the dynamics of the development of the intellectual segment of the global economy, as well as to adjust the forecast of sectoral-regional development of the intellectual segment of the global economy.

Features of Global Information Leaks from Tax Havens (p. 23 - 28)
The existence of tax havens is an integral phenomenon of the modern stage of the world economy development. They compete with each other on the basis of tax rates, privacy level, quality and speed of the service offered. Determining the impact of tax havens is now a rather pressing issue, deepening which has largely contributed to leakages of information, particularly the Panama Papers. However, the leaks of information from tax havens are not sufficiently covered in the research of both domestic and foreign scholars. The article is aimed at examining the impact of tax havens and the Panama Papers information leak on the world economy. The definition of tax havens and their scale in modern conditions of globalization economy is considered. In the systematization of scientific works the relatively different leaks of information from tax havens were compared and the largest of them was identified. The essence of the activities of Mossack Fonseca, the company that was the victim of the data leak, is disclosed. The dynamics of registered offshore companies within the framework of the Panama Papers leak are substantiated. With the help of a mathematical model, the authors computed a trend vector of movement of the number of companies, which are using the services of offshore zones. As a result of regression trend analysis, it was defined that the number of companies registered by Mossack Fonseca tends to grow (an average of 292 units annually). This indicates that, despite the publication of classified information, the popularity of tax havens continues to increase. The main intermediary countries, which are most popular in tax speculation, are provided. It is determined that the simplicity of formalization and registration of companies, the lack of control over subsidiaries of multinational business groups are key attributes of the activities of tax havens that contribute to their use to avoid paying income taxes and money laundering. The consequences caused by the activities of tax havens and information leaks from them have been formulated. The most important among them are: sanctions provisions and monitoring of offshore activities.

Conceptual and Methodological Approaches to Identification of Typological and Logical-Structural Characteristics of Priority Sectors of the National Economy (p. 17 - 23)
Strategic importance of the formation of priority sectors for the national economy is substantiated, according to which the country should strengthen its competitive positions, ensure socio-economic progress, and increase innovation and technological activity. The results of review of scientific publications, which mention strategic or priority types of economic activity, allowed to better systematize their composition and structure, identify approaches to selecting them depending on different variants of development of the country and its economy. One can find a number of publications where priority sectors are distinguished not in general for the national economy, but in view of certain functional or structural spheres, directions, etc. It is concluded that a priori to define and form the composition of priority sectors of the economy is objectively impractical and wrong. At the same time, when substantiating the system of priority types of economic activity, it is necessary to adhere to the principle of systemacity and complexity, as well as consistency. It is established that as economic grows and characteristics of the external environment change, while taking into account the strategic vision of the country’s place in the system of international division of labor, the vision of new types of economic activity should also change, which will become the locomotives of growth in the future, but at present they necessitate the training of relevant specialists, development of institutional infrastructure, and accumulation of resource provision. The classification of priority sectors of the national economy is formed in accordance with such signs as: industry affiliation, sectors of the economy, strategic orientation, depth of influence, chosen model of economic growth, factors of economic growth, stages of economic reproduction, investment potential. A logic-structural algorithm for identifying priority sectors of the economy is developed, taking into account the degree of vertical integration of economic progress and the level of realization of the country’s economic growth potential. It is determined that the priority sectors of the economy include sectors, types of economic activity, industries, their infrastructure and relations between them, the development of which at the current stage and in the strategic perspective ensures strengthening the competitive positions of the national economy in both the domestic and the foreign markets, a structurally balanced sustainable development of the country’s territories, the implementation of national economic and social interests, creating conditions for maintaining these positions.

Dualistic Approach to a Comprehensive Analysis of the Impact of Shadowed Economic Activity (p. 23 - 29)
The current theoretical and empirical studies do not provide an unambiguous valuation of the nature of the impact of the shadow (or informal) sector of the economy on the dynamics of macro-economic growth of countries and regions. The shadow economy is characterized by clearly defined dualism, which acquires its concentrated expression in performing its double role in the development of the socio-economic system of society. On the one hand, it has a positive influence on the macro-economic growth of many countries, overcoming population poverty and socio-humanitarian backwardness; but on the other hand, it significantly exacerbates socio-economic, financial, tax-administrative and other problems that significantly hamper the scientific, technical, innovative and humanitarian progress of many countries over the world. Dualistic approach to a comprehensive analysis of the impact of shadowed economic activity on the structural dynamics of national and global development allows to clearly specify its threats and dangers. There is no doubt that the shadowing of economic activity leads to significant violations of the functioning of the national social sectors of the States for the following reasons: deepening asymmetry in the regional and intra-country distribution of income; carrying out socially unfair privatization of the State-owned objects; expansion of illegal production of goods and services, as well as structural deformation of public consumption. This not only causes an increase in the economies of different States of social instability and deepening of the intra-country asymmetry in the distribution of incomes of different groups of the population, but also sufficiently reduces the effectiveness of the instrumentarium used by their national governments to respond promptly to permanent changes in key quantitative and qualitative parameters of socio-economic development.

Globalization and Security: The Economic, Social and Political Aspects (p. 16 - 21)
This research underlines the growing importance of critical studying the role of globalization in the context of the problem of ensuring human security. In the global open economy, direct changes in the nature of economic activity and social interaction significantly increase the weight and importance of the factors that affect social, political and economic stability. By carrying out an analysis of the data reflecting the results of the social, economic and political consequences of COVID-19, the authors try to provide useful insights into the patterns inherent in the economic, social and political processes. Studying the dynamics of pandemic development allows to examine in more detail the connection between the economy, social security and political stability, paying attention to the nature of social, economic and political processes and the scale of their interdependence. According to the results of the research, the main threats arising from the pandemic in the field of economic, social and political components of national security have been established. It is displayed that the social, economic and political security spheres within the State are interrelated. Due to the relationship between them, the lack of stabilization in one of these areas can generate potential danger and changes of negative nature in other areas. Most of the risks and threats identified by the authors flow out of each other, which makes them also interrelated. In the view of the authors, public expectations as to political and economic interactions in the field of ensuring national and global security require the government to make significant changes and transform its view on important aspects of the organization of social, economic and political life of society, in accordance with global challenges.

The Socio-Economic Development and Its Relationship with the Indicators of Empowerment, Economic Freedoms and Opportunities (p. 22 - 28)
The article analyzes the key aspects and factors of the socio-economic development of society. On the basis of the studied theoretical approaches, the essence of the concept of «economic development» is specified. The most important components of the new quality of growth are defined. Both the need to and possibility of supplementing the indicator of the country’s success in socio-economic development (HDI), which is annually calculated by UNDP and reflects the relationship between the assessment of longevity in the country, the level of literacy and education of the population and the standard of living, indicators of empowerment, economic freedoms and opportunities, is substantiated. Based on the correlation analysis of indicators of the human development index, on the one hand, and the human development index, taking into account indicators of empowerment, economic freedoms and opportunities, as well as the index of life satisfaction, political and economic freedom, on the other hand, it has been proved that there is a direct strong connection between these indicators. This testifies the direct impact of the extent of life satisfaction, economic independence and political participation on the socio-economic development of society. A comparison of the composition of the resulting clusters with the rating of countries by the level of human development within the traditional HDI showed that there are certain differences. Thus, the largest number of countries with a very high level of human development when applying indicators of empowerment have lost their status. Similar results are observed for many other countries that, according to the HDI rating, taking into account empowerment, found themselves in a lower level of human development in a group of countries. The research showed that none of the countries moved in the ranking to a higher group. The obtained results confirmed the hypothesis that there is a fairly strong relationship between the levels of overall satisfaction with life, democracy and economic freedom and socio-economic development.

Disparities in the Development of the Global Trade System: The Causes and Consequences (p. 13 - 20)
The article generalizes the main approaches to analyzing the nature of global disparities in the development of the global trade system, their negative consequences, and opportunities for regulation. It is proved that global economic disparities have both objective and subjective origin, can be initiated by individual countries, groups of countries and international economic organizations, are closely related to non-economic aspects of the world economy and are clearly manifested not only in the financial sphere, but also in international trade. The article substantiates that, taking into account peculiarities of the current foreign economic policy of sovereign countries, three main tendencies can be distinguished, which are directed towards protecting national interests in the context of the crisis of the global trade system, and which, in fact, represent global disparities in its development: protectionism, regionalism, and transregionalism. It is identified that, speaking in economic terms, the growing external interdependence does not bring together, but, on the contrary, subordinates, turns regions and countries of the world into dependent ones; does not overcome, but fixes the peripheral position of individual countries; does not violate, but strengthens the hierarchicality of the world economy, which is caused by its internal logic. It is concluded that in order to eliminate or mitigate global disparities in the global trade system, it is important to use new institutional mechanisms in the development of which countries with emerging markets should take an active part, which means there is a need for a flexible combination of liberalization with import substitution and elements of protectionism.

Determining Potential Directions for Ukraine’s Own Green Brand Formation (p. 21 - 30)
The article is aimed at studying the directions that are of paramount importance in the country's transition to ecologically oriented development, as well as determining on this basis Ukraine's readiness to form and develop its own «green» brand. In accordance with the set goal, the main directions to carry out the research were ecologization and sustainable development, organic agriculture and renewable energy. As a result of the research, Ukraine's position corresponding to the Sustainable Development Goals Index was determined. According to this, Ukraine successfully combines economic development, social integration and ecological sustainability. The value of the country's index is on par with new industrialized countries and even with some economically developed countries. Ukraine's position in accordance with the Environmental Performance Index is worse and shows a lag from the advanced countries of the world. Furthermore, it is determined that Ukraine inefficiently uses agricultural land, since there is a high level of plowing, and only 1.1% is occupied for organic production. Still, despite the fact that Ukraine is the second exporter of organic products to the EU after China, insufficient attention is paid to the markets of Asia and Africa. It is defined that renewable energy in Ukraine is at the stage of origin, the reason for which is, among other things, underfunding of this direction. The most developed sources of renewable energy in Ukraine are currently hydropower and solar energy. Additionally, the article highlights weaknesses that create obstacles to environmental friendliness and sustainable development and should be leveled when forming Ukraine’s own green brand.

A Characterization of the Modern World Automotive Market (p. 14 - 22)
The article is aimed at researching the current state of the world automotive market and trends that will determine its development. The automotive industry, facilitating the global economic growth in general, is a strategic industry, stimulating the development of technology and affecting the population employment. The number of cars in the world increases annually, however, due to the existence of differences in vehicle registration rules in different countries, it is difficult to determine the exact number of cars over the world. During the research period, the global automotive market showed a tendency to increase, one of the reasons for which is a gradual decrease in the cost of cars (in accordance with the average income of the population). To analyze the provision of the population with cars, the indicator of motorization (automobilization) of the population (the number of cars per 1 thousand population) is used, which depends on the level of economic development of the separate country. The world leader, which is significantly ahead of other countries in the production of cars, is China. The United States ranks the second, the third in the world ranking of automakers is Japan. The leader among the countries – exporters of cars for more than a decade remains Germany, the second place is held by Japan, the third place – by the United States, fourth place – by Mexico, increasing exports in 2019 almost twice compared to 2016. The fifth place is held by South Korea. The world’s largest importers of cars are the United States, Germany and China. The article provides a rating of the leading companies – manufacturers of cars. The first place belongs to Volkswagen Group, the second place is held by Toyota Group, the third place is taken by Renault – Nissan – Mitsibishi, the fourth place – by General Motors, the fifth place – by Hyundai Kia from South Korea. The main trends in the global automotive market are indicated as follows: increasing the production of electromotive cars and cars with a hybrid engine; use of autonomous car driving technology; increasing the volume of car sharing; use of technology for exchanging car information with external objects, including other cars; rapid technological development of car related software.

Strengthening of the Regional Orientation of Economic Systems in the Context of Slowbalization (p. 26 - 34)
The purpose of the article is to study the evolution of globalization of the world economy, estimate the consequences of strengthening the regional orientation as a result of slowbalization (slowing down the growth rate of the economy) and substantiate the measures to mitigate the consequences. As a result of the study, the stages of globalization are distinguished on the basis of world indices of open trade, which are: industrialization, interwar period, post-war period, liberalization and slowbalization. The dynamics of the worldwide GDP growth rate is studied and the onset of slowing down (or slowbalization) of the world economic system is substantiated. The problems of globalization are defined and factors of development of slowbalization are outlined. The peculiarities of the transformation of the global space are distinguished and it is substantiated that slowbalization can lead to strengthening of regional ties within economic systems. An analysis of regional slowbalization of economic systems was carried out, a detailing of de-globalization in China, Europe and Central Asia was considered, the impact of slowbalization on the economic development of the regions of Ukraine was determined. It is substantiated that the growth of socio-economic inequality of regions, which directly affects the level of socio-political stability, acts as a limiter of economic growth. It is determined that the State investments for the implementation of large-scale projects in Ukraine will ensure the development of the national economic system in harsh conditions of slowbalization. It is noted that in order to mitigate the negative consequences of slowbalization in order to develop economic systems, it is necessary to ensure consolidation of all sectors of the economy with a simultaneous focus on the specialization of the economic system. Prospects for further research in this direction are to define the priority intraregional flows in Ukraine in the context of slowbalization and to develop appropriate industrial and investment policies for the development of regions in order to their further economic development.

Transition to the knowledge economy in the 21st century is accompanied by an active search for approaches to the management of socio-economic systems, the core of which is represented by technology. By means of innovative technologies, the basics of old business and capital reproduction models are destroyed, while the concentration of production factors and the attraction of assets of various investors acquires an appropriate target orientation. Accordingly, the problems of identifying the results of technology transfer and improving its efficiency are the subject of scientific and applied research in the field of international marketing, innovative and investment management. This publication is aimed at researching the policy of technology transfer to gain competitive advantages in domestic and foreign markets and the peculiarities of its implementation in the conditions of digitalization and servitization of global business, which is justified by the construction of appropriate mathematical models on the example of countries, leading in the world exports of computer services. Innovation technology is considered from different sides as follows: the object of transactions in international relations; the factor of formation of dynamic competitive advantages at both the macro- and the micro-levels; a driving force in shaping dynamic competitive advantages of goods and services; the basis for the growth of the country’s export potential. It is proved that thanks to information and computer technologies, the dominant properties of capital are manifested and the importance of innovative entrepreneurship in the economy with alternative sources of added value creation in related industries with a growing range of intellectual services is increasing. A contentual model of technology transfer as a dynamic process of absorption of technologies through the diffusion of new knowledge is built.

Comparative Analysis of Trends in the Ukrainian and Chinese Economies (p. 20 - 25)
Nowadays, the global economic environment is full of uncertainties. Affected by the novel coronavirus epidemic, the economies of various countries are developing slowly or falling into recession. In this case, countries face different uncertainties. The article analyzes the economic development direction of China and Ukraine. Judging from the GDP per capita of both Ukraine and China in the past ten years, China has been growing steadily every year, while Ukraine has changed more. Therefore, the article analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the 12 pillars of the Global Competitiveness Index for the two countries through the period of 2018–2019, an indicator that measures a country’s ability to grow in the medium and long term. It is found that Ukraine has problems in stability and macroeconomic stability, while China has problems in social cohesion and innovation ability, and puts forward corrective opinions to determine the direction of development. In addition, by analyzing the overall ranking of China and Ukraine in the Global Competitiveness Index from 2009 to 2019, it is found that the economic growth capacity of these countries has partially developed in the same direction in the past decade. However, due to the influence of political and macroeconomic factors, the focus of the development of these countries is to hope that the countries will correct the existing problems as soon as possible, formulate corresponding policy plans, and strengthen and ensure the implementation of the relevant policy. In addition, our countries will continue to strengthen the construction of global integration, reduce trade barriers, increase the liquidity of commodities, speed up the processes, promote the circulation of production factors, accelerate economic growth, and enhance competitiveness.

Increasing the Competitiveness of Domestic Producers in the Face of Global Challenges: The Regional Aspect (p. 4 - 10)
The article is concerned with a study of problems and directions of increasing the competitiveness of domestic producers in the face of global challenges. Based on the analysis of the level and dynamics of indices of globalization together with indices of globalization of trade in both Ukraine and the world, the main most important stages of globalization in Ukraine, including in international trade, are allocated. It is defined that in Ukraine, in contrast to the global tendency, changes in globalization processes occur more intensively. The key factors ensuring the growth of competitiveness of domestic exporters in the world market, the export structure of Ukraine’s international trade, including in the regional context, and the contribution of Ukraine’s regions to the export activities of the State are analyzed. It is proved that Russia’s full-scale military invasion will have the greatest impact on the export capabilities of enterprises in the east and south of Ukraine (where active hostilities are taking place), as well as those regions that border Russia and/or have already suffered large-scale destruction during the war (Kyiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions). Thus, the loss of Ukraine’s export potential, especially in commodity trade, taking into account export logistical problems, will be critical in 2022. The main instruments of the State support for Ukrainian exporting enterprises in the conditions of war are analyzed and measures to increase the competitiveness of domestic producers in modern turbulent conditions of development are proposed.

Hydrogen Energy and Potential for Its Development in the Economy of Ukraine (p. 20 - 26)
The purpose of the article is to assess the advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen energy and the prospects for its development in Ukraine. The advantages of hydrogen, which determine the development of hydrogen energy are allocated: ease of use, infinity of reserves in the environment, energy efficiency. Also, the production of «green» hydrogen is a solution to the problem of excessive energy production by alternative energy and a convenient way to balance electric energy production in the power system of the producing countries. The disadvantages of hydrogen energy include the following: the high cost of producing «green» hydrogen at the present stage of energy development; flammability and danger in contact with air; significant technical problems that arise during the storage and transportation of hydrogen as an energy carrier. The analysis of the plans of developed countries in general and the EU in particular for the development of hydrogen energy and their implementation shows that the policies of national governments and the EU have led to an increase in investment in the industry, an increase in the scale of projects being implemented and a reduction in the cost of equipment for the production of «green» hydrogen. The carried out analysis shows that taking into account high energy prices, cheaper electric energy from renewable energy sources and equipment for hydrogen energy, hydrogen will become competitive in 12 national markets by 2030, and in many other countries – by 2050. The following promising effects for the Ukrainian economy are highlighted: reducing dependence on imports of traditional energy carriers; improving the balance of the country’s energy system; the opportunity to change the role of Ukraine’s gas transmission system for the European energy market; creation of a new export industry with financial and technical support from the EU; creation of a domestic market for «green» hydrogen in the country along with opportunity for new jobs.

The Current Global Economic Tendencies (p. 37 - 44)
Today, the world is trying to maintain a global tendency in the development of a sustainable economy, responding to various threats, risks and challenges: the COVID-19 pandemic; political instability; wars; the formation of multipolarity of the world; spread of processes of technologization and digitalization, energy imbalances; demographic and environmental problems, etc. The purpose of the article is to study global tendencies in the development of the world economy, the influence of destabilizing factors, the selection of megatrends, which are caused by the formation of a post-industrial mode of production. It is specified that economic megatrends are formed as result of technological revolutions and changes in the mode of production. According to the content of these transformations, the current stage of society’s life represents the beginning of the development of post-industrial relations. This type of technical, economic and socioeconomic relations determines the long-term vectors of economic development, which are based on basic innovations – digital technologies, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, etc. It is stated that big trends, or megatrends, are manifestations of long-term vector changes. However, in the current periods of their objectification, megatrends are influenced by many factors – there is an adjustment of the current dynamics within the framework of the general determining trend of economic development. It is emphasized that the most significant in our time is the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to the weakening of international economic ties and the rupture of supply chains. This was followed almost immediately by the russian military invasion of Ukraine, the consequences of which affect the social (including economic) life not only of European countries, but also of the world in general. The cumulative and repeatedly enhanced due to their simultaneity, the negative impact of these factors significantly adjusts the parameters of global economic trends – temporal, structural and others – at present. It is found that in 2022 there is a decrease in the global economic growth rate to 2.9% compared to the growth rate in 2021 by 5.7%, and, according to the forecast, during 2023-2024 there will be no compensation. In such a situation, inflation will remain high, which could lead to a sharp global recession along with financial crises in some market-based and emerging economies. It is determined that the dynamics of GDP of the pre-pandemic and pre-war period highlighted the outstripping growth rate of the economy in developing countries, compared with the dynamics of GDP of developed countries. The carried out studies have shown that a larger share of world GDP is created in developed countries, and by 2032 the contribution by groups of countries (developed / developing) will not become equal, although it will gravitate towards this parity. The prognosticated paces of global economic growth by region in 2023–2024 are examined. The significant negative impact on the world economy of russia’s invasion of Ukraine in general and in certain regions in particular is emphasized. It is concluded that the harshest consequences of the war would be for Europe and Central Asia. A slowdown in growth this year is forecast in all regions other than the Middle East and North Africa – that is, in those regions where countries can benefit from energy prices. For all regions with a market and a developing economy, the following risks occur: increased geopolitical tensions; rising inflation and food shortages; financial stress and increasing the cost of loans; new outbreaks of COVID-19, etc. It is noted that the need to reduce the negative impact of these risks led to the search by society for such directions of development that would become an impetus for economic growth and restore market activity. In the period of formation of the post-industrial technological mode of production, nano-, bio-, info-, cognitive technologies became decisive. The carried out research provides grounds to assert that the six economies named by the UN (exabyte, welfare, carbon-neutral, closed cycle, biogrowth, impressions) are megatrends, since such transformations are the result of the formation of a post-industrial mode of production – a special type of relations: technical and economic (productive forces) and socioeconomic (production relations).

The Global Economy and Its Requirements for Social Responsibility of Enterprises (p. 12 - 20)
The article is aimed at studying the essence of the definition of «global economy», as well as the impact of modern transformation processes on the activity of the State and enterprises in the sphere of social protection and social security of workers and population. On the basis of terminological analysis, the essence and characteristics of the global economy as a constantly changing process concerning the unification of countries into a single informational, economic, ecological and social space have been determined. A systematization of positive and negative consequences of globalization in relation to the development of the social sphere of developed countries and developing countries was carried out. It is proved that, under the influence of the negative consequences of globalization, there is a need to form a system of social protection, which is based on the use of social security at the level of the State and at the level of enterprise, in accordance with types and instruments. At the State level, social security is divided into such types as: legal and administrative, economic, ecological, material and energy, and medical, and at the enterprise level as financial, ecological, material and energy, medical, and legal. This distribution allows taking measures for social protection for specific types of social security. A chain has been built to eliminate the impact of negative consequences on the social sphere, namely: the consequences of the impact of the global economy – social consequences – social protection – social responsibility – social partnership. In further research, it is advisable to build a conception of social responsibility management of enterprises, which is aimed at developing and implementing social protection measures, as well as to determine the structure, components and instruments of the mechanism for its implementation.

Consequences of the Russian Invasion for Ukrainian Society: Migration, Its Extent, Ways to Overcome (p. 21 - 32)
The article considers the main aspects of a previously unknown phenomenon in Ukrainian society – the multi-million number of refugees during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. The reasons that directly influenced the migration of Ukrainians are identified. The extent of destruction of Ukrainian cities as a result of terrorist attacks, which provoked a powerful migration wave, is determined. An analysis of the most damaged objects of social infrastructure, enterprises, residential buildings, medical and educational institutions, in particular in Donbas and the Azov region, is carried out. The cities of the aggressor country hosting the deported people from the seized parts of regions of Ukraine are named. In this respect, it cannot be determined for certain which category of Ukrainians left voluntarily and which under duress. The countries of the European Union chosen by Ukrainians for residence, citizenship or temporary asylum are studied. It is determined that in the overwhelming majority the choice of destination country was determined by proximity to the homeland. The gender and age category of the displaced persons, marital status, etc. are analyzed. The critically young age of Ukrainian refugees, the dynamics of the outflow of the reproductive category of the population representing the intellect of the State are determined. The socioeconomic problems (loss of housing, divorces, drain of economically active population, aging of the nation, undermining of territories, ecological catastrophe, falling GDP, etc.) that will befall Ukraine in the post-war period are emphasized. It is proved that economic factors can cause another wave of economic migration, which must be prevented today. It is revealed that for the return of migrants important are the level of unemployment, incomes of the population, prospects for economic growth, economic recovery. The priorities and directions of the State policy for the return of Ukrainian citizens, the development of destroyed territories and the protection of Ukrainians situated on the border with Russia and Belarus are determined.

The Role of Green Logistics in the Development of a Sustainable Supply Chain (p. 33 - 39)
The article presents the results of research in the field of sustainable development and responsible consumption, analyzes global logistics trends, and updates the essence of the concept of "green logistics". The main factors of the formation of a sustainable supply chain at the current stage of development of macro-logistics systems are characterized, the role of green logistics in these business processes is described. It is substantiated that in a sustainable supply chain, all processes are organized and interconnected in such a way that they create special value for the customer who demonstrates responsible consumption. Among the best business practices in the field of green logistics within the framework of a sustainable supply chain, the following can be distinguished: reduction of energy consumption; reduction of packaging/containers; reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; waste reduction; effectiveness of sales channels; compliance with environmental requirements; risk management; differentiated services; selling expenses. The research focuses on the fact that the future of green logistics is connected with the development of new technologies. The use of blockchain technology is also considered relevant, because one of the most effective ways to achieve the goals of green logistics is the digitalization of transport processes. Shifting to more sustainable practices is important on a global scale to reduce the negative environmental impact of logistics infrastructure. At the same time, the creation and development of sustainable supply chains will provide synergistic effects and provide benefits for all business partners. It has been proven that green logistics is becoming an integral part of sustainable business practices and can help organizations save money while protecting humanity from global environmental catastrophe. In the future, it is logical to study the problems associated with the implementation of green logistics by Ukrainian enterprises, in particular in the context of overcoming crisis phenomena and post-war reconstruction.

The Problem of Food Security for the Countries of the Middle East and Its Socioeconomic Dimension (p. 22 - 29)
The article deals with the actuality of the problem of food security, the complex nature of the problem is substantiated. It is confirmed that food security is connected with human right to food; therefore it should be supported by international organizations and countries. The state of food security, formation of which was affected by changes both in the global and regional context, was analyzed. The state of food security in the countries of the Middle East was studied through the prism of threats to food security that occurred against the background of demographic, climatic and security challenges. The relationship between food security and socioeconomic processes was clarified. The influence of insufficient productivity of agricultural sector, land degradation, limited access to water resources, conflicts, demographic and social factors on the state of food security in the region was analyzed. The role of supporting agricultural sector at the level of international organizations to increase the level of food security is ascertained. The main types of support for the development of agriculture were analyzed using OECD indicators and their evaluation was carried out for some countries in the Middle East. Measures to improve food security in the region that take in account attracting funds and implementing special programs were considered on the example of Turkey. Recommendations for improving agricultural policy, developing infrastructure, supporting agriculture and promoting innovative approaches to ensure food security in the region were suggested.

Food Security in the Context of the «Perfect Storm» in the Global Economy (p. 6 - 15)
The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the full-scale Russian invasion on February 24, 2022 and the ongoing war on Ukraine increased food security vulnerabilities around the world, creating new problems for the already volatile markets of the post-pandemic period. The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of the «perfect storm» in the global economy on food security and identify directions for mitigating the emerging threats. It is proved that the existing food security crisis is caused by many factors, and there is also a need to restore global reserves. This process would be significantly accelerated if Ukraine were able to resume its role in the global food market. However, the war goes on, which continues to have a negative impact on production and generates uncertainty about food security. According to the results of the carried out analysis, it is determined that the interaction of international organizations in the field of food security and government agencies is a very important factor in solving issues of stabilizing the level of food security. Certainly, not all potential threats can be predicted if they are natural, geopolitical or of economic nature, but the interaction of FAO and similar organizations with analytical associations can contribute to a partial solution to this problem. It is substantiated that the transformation of the food sector should be inclusive, ensuring the active involvement of all its actors (for example, governments, international organizations, companies, farmers, etc.) in the development and implementation of targeted measures. In addition, this transformation is connected with the implementation of policies that reduce dependence on several exporting countries and replace corn and wheat with local crops, as well as the development of domestic food systems aimed at creating a network of short supply chains based on seasonal products. This will make it possible to mitigate the risks of food security in the global economy in the medium term.

Global Ecological and Economic Preconditions of Climate Changes and their Forecast Dynamics in the Medium and Long Terms (p. 12 - 18)
The purpose of the article is to study global trends in climate change, which is one of the most pressing threats with a long-term negative impact on the population, environment and economy. The article analyzes the impact of global climate change on land resources, agriculture, forestry, water resources, emergencies, etc. It is defined that global climate change is one of the most acute problems of human development, ignoring which in the long run will lead to a leveling of economic growth. In addition, climate change can lead to various negative consequences, such as an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters, worsening conditions for agricultural production, threatening changes in the regimes of water resources, high temperatures, air pollution, etc. The article examines the anthropogenic causes that have led to the global problem of climate change. The main causes and features of the global warming and climate change process are identified. The natural and anthropogenic factors that influence global warming and climate change are described. Examples of climate change in different regions of the world are given, and their consequences are characterized. The article presents a forecast of regional manifestations of global climate change, which is important for regional development and strategic planning. Forecasts help to develop adaptation strategies and measures to reduce the negative impacts and take advantage of opportunities that may arise as a result of changes. In addition, regional analysis makes it possible to determine the specifics of the impact of climate change on specific territories and take them into account in the development of strategies for balanced development, ensuring public safety and preserving natural resources. Approaches to determining the characteristics in the context of future climate change are proposed, as well as approaches to developing an adaptation policy in relation to possible consequences of climate change. The results of the study can be used by local government officials to assess the causes and consequences of global warming and extreme weather events, as well as to formulate adaptation policies.

The current stage of development of the global economy is characterized by the acceleration of the processes of financial globalization that qualitatively and quantitatively change not only its institutional environment, but the interconnections and interdependence of all components of the world financial system as well. The aim of the article is to disclose and substantiate the key determinants of the development of the world financial architecture (WFA), to define the dynamics of its functioning in the context of modern economic and political realities. In the process of carrying out the study, general scientific and special methods were used: analysis and synthesis, scientific abstraction, classification, structural analysis, grouping, graphic methods. The publication examines transformation processes and evaluates the current state of the world financial architecture. The main determinants of the WFA development are analyzed and allocated as follows: transformations in international monetary and credit relations; integration and globalization of stock markets; growth in the pace of international banking operations; dissemination of scientific and technological achievements; liberalization of international monetary relations and financial markets; sociocultural and demographic trends, etc. The main measures to strengthen and improve the functioning of the global financial architecture in the short and long term have been allocated, taking into account the studied factors of influence. Among the main measures to be implemented the sooner the better are allocated the following: ensuring a steady decline in inflation; control over financial stability; dealing with currency fluctuations; providing support to vulnerable strata of the population. In the long run, it is necessary to: restore the sustainability of the debt situation; strengthen the multilateral cooperation; accelerate the transition to a green economy. Thus, it is found that ensuring the sustainability and efficiency of the global financial architecture is an important task that requires immediate action. With this in mind, regulators, international financial institutions and participating countries should interact and work together to improve financial management systems, reduce economic and social inequalities, and create a financial environment conducive to sustainable economic growth. Prospects for further research in this direction are: analysis of the impact of leading international organizations on the WFA, development of a methodology for assessing the determinants of the development of the financial system and identification of possible scenarios for the development of the world financial architecture.

The Mechanisms for Creating a Crisis-Resistant World Financial Architecture (p. 23 - 31)
Today, there is a clear need to create a new world financial architecture. In this regard, the key task of the leading countries is to reform the mechanisms for regulating world financial markets and supervising the operations of their participants in order to counter crisis shocks. Therefore, the aim of the article is to identify mechanisms for creating a crisis-resistant world financial architecture (WFA) and to analyze strategic approaches to increasing the stability of the global financial system in the face of modern economic and political challenges. In the course of writing the article, economic and statistical methods of analysis, description, measurement, comparison and observation were used. In the process of the study, general theoretical methods of scientific knowledge were also applied: synthesis, deduction, and induction. The study carried out a retrospective analysis of the world financial crises in order to allocate their main features; identify the most effective strategies for restoring positive trends and the effectiveness of anti-crisis policy under different conditions. An analysis of the current state of the WFA has been carried out and the main crisis processes of today have been defined. In order to develop a new strategy for ensuring a crisis-resistant system, a systematization and analysis of existing modern mechanisms for the prevention of financial crises has been carried out. As a result, the following are allocated: the monetary path; regulatory (infrastructural) approach; the use of a new world reserve currency instead of the US dollar; introduction of a regional currency with the possibility of using different underlying assets and transition to the currencies of individual countries. The results of the study were the identification of priority strategic steps and the development of recommendations for achieving the sustainability of the world financial architecture: compliance with the principles of counter-cyclical fiscal management; prudence in the implementation of monetary policy; the need to strengthen regulatory and supervisory control; timely detection of imbalances arising in financial markets; clear risk management and proper international cooperation. Prospects for further research in this direction can be: study of the impact of regional initiatives on the world financial architecture and the possibility of their use to reduce the vulnerability of the world economy to financial crises; development of innovative financial instruments and their importance for the WFA.

Global Tendencies of the International Movement of Capital (p. 31 - 37)
The article examines the global trends of international movementof capital in the form of foreign direct investments, which were characteristic of the period of development of the world economy in 2011–2022, during which the world financial and economic crisis took place and the COVID-2019 pandemic spread internationally. The directions of international expansion of transnational companies are studied in view of their participation in the formation of global value chains, which consistently connected with each other in the global space the types of economic activities for the creation and promotion of products. Based on the analysis of international statistics data, clusters of countries were singled out, which acted in different years as the largest recipients of foreign direct investments and were in the circle of economic interests of large international business. Changes in the direction of foreign direct investment flows of leading transnational corporations are shown and their influence on the geographical localization of production processes within global value chains since the end of the 20th century until now is demonstrated. Special attention is paid to the examination of the forms and directions of international movementof capital in Asian countries, which hold the global leadership in attracting foreign direct investments. In the system of factors that influence the direction of foreign capital movement in the international space, a separate group of factors related to the effect of global transactional risks is singled out. The latter change the direction of foreign direct investment in the global economy and need to be taken into account in the formation of industrial policy by the governments of national economies.

Competitiveness of the National Economy in Conditions of Structural Changes (p. 18 - 23)
The article researches the competitiveness of the national economy in conditions of structural changes, the article’s further aim is to define the strengths and weaknesses of the national economy. Based on the carried out analysis of the Global competitiveness index, it is determined that in 2021, in terms of global competitiveness, Ukraine returned to the level of 2013 and took the 54th position among 64 countries. During the period of 2015–2018, the relative stability of Ukraine’s position at the 59th place is observed, in 2019 and 2021 the country demonstrates an increase in rating positions. The analysis of the rating’s components of the ranking indicates that Ukraine’s low position in the global competitiveness ranking in 2021 is due to insufficient economic development. After all, Ukraine occupies the 54th position according to the element «economic indicators». At this, the highest-rated indicator corresponds to the element «business efficiency» (the 50th position in the ranking). It should be noted that it was possible to improve the position regarding the element «infrastructure», according to which Ukraine took the 51st place, while in 2020 it was the 54th position. It is determined that the modern global environment is characterized by a significant level of digitization of all spheres of life activities. The analysis of the country’s competitiveness from the point of view of the use of information and communication technologies is carried out on the basis of the Index of digital competitiveness of countries, which consists of three sub-indices: knowledge; technologies; readiness for the future. It is revealed that for the period 2012–2021, Ukraine had the highest ranking position on the «knowledge» indicator compared to other components and in 2021 took the 37th position, thus improving its ranking compared to the previous period. At the same time, according to the components «technology» and «readiness for the future», the positions in the ranking are approximately the same. The weaknesses and strengths of Ukraine’s competitiveness are highlighted. Among the weaknesses that do not allow Ukraine to take a leading place in the international ranking of digital competitiveness are significant investment risks, an insufficient level of intellectual property protection and the present level of cyber security. Strengths include: providing opportunities to start and develop one’s own business, relatively high Internet speed, e-democracy and high quality of education.

Conditions and Impact of Globalization Transformations on the Activities of Business Structures (p. 29 - 45)
The study is devoted to the analysis of how globalization processes affect various aspects of doing business. The novelty of the study lies in several key aspects: for the first time, the concept of preconditions for globalization transformations, factors and phenomena is defined and differentiated, their detailed description is made using the latest statistical data of world-wide development. Globalization phenomena and factors are systematized by both the positive and negative consequences of impact on socioeconomic development. The consequences of the impact of globalization transformations on business structures, in particular on innovative development, automation of processes, improvement of logistics, improvement of communications, management, expansion of sales markets, are studied. As a result of the study, approaches to understanding globalization as a multifaceted process that covers the socioeconomic, political, technological, and cultural aspects of society are systematized. The key preconditions for globalization, including the development of informatization, the introduction of new technologies, political changes and economic integration, are analyzed. It is found that these factors enable interdependence and interactivity at the global level, fostering the convergence of different national systems. Conclusions are drawn about the twofold impact of globalization: on the one hand, it stimulates economic integration, free movement of goods and services, development of technology, increase in productivity of economies, exchange of cultures and development of intellectual capital; on the other hand, it leads to economic inequalities, negative impact on local producers, environmental problems, political conflicts and loss of cultural uniqueness. The study also characterizes the impact of globalization on business, including innovation, digitalization, process automation, market expansion, the introduction of omnichannel retail, logistics optimization, reduction of delivery costs, as well as the development of new forms of financing and modern approaches to management.

In 2021, the authors published the most – 113 works, and the highest level of citations was reached in 2023. Thus, the article by C. Fornell of 1981 was mentioned 72 times, the article by K. L. Keller of 1993 – 64 times, the publication by J. F. Hair of 1998 – 60 times. The composed chronology of citations in the analyzed scientific publications made it possible to trace the order of joint citation of literary sources. Thirdly, scholars from China, the United States and Great Britain show the greatest interest in the topic under study. Their joint scientific achievement makes 35% of the total number of analyzed publications. Fourthly, the words «branding» and «brand», «marketing», «destination» and «place» are often used both in keywords and in the titles of articles. Fifth, half of the analyzed articles meet at least one Sustainable Development Goal. The eleventh (Sustainable Cities and Communities), ninth (Innovation and Infrastructure) and third (Good Health) goals are most often reflected. Sixthly, Ukrainian scholars have published 13 articles on the topic of territory branding, which indicates interest in this topic and the presence of development potential. Further research will be aimed at deepening the typology of approaches to determining territory branding strategies.
