The aim of the paper is to assess the competitiveness of national production in terms of its resources and energy supply. The authors present the dynamics of energy intensity of some countries and regions of the world and consider the relationship between the level of energy intensity and the competitiveness of national economies. Based on this relationship, countries are grouped depending on the type of the performance indicators of economies. Alternative energy is presented as a tool for improving efficiency of existing industries and for ensuring countries’ position in the world market. The increase in the share of renewable energy in total consumption served as a basis for studying experience of various countries in regulating the development of alternative energy followed by a grouping of methods. The paper analyses both methods associated with the positioning of alternative energy and its incorporation into the existing structure and methods aimed at stimulating the development of alternative energy.

The Relationship

China's export-led growth is rooted in China's double transition of demographic transition and structural change from industrialization. Accession to the WTO has allowed China to fully integrate into the world system and capture the gains of its comparative advantage in abundant labor supply. Structural change has a dampening effect on the Balassa–Samuelson effect so as to sustain China's competiveness in the world market. The double transition will take 10 to 15 years to finish; in this time period, China will likely continue its fast export-led growth. Along the way, export-led growth has also created serious structural imbalances highlighted by underutilized savings, slow growth of residential income and domestic consumption, and a heavy reliance on investment. This linkage requires new thinking when global imbalances are to be tackled.

The Relationship

This article analyses the relationship between state policies and economy in Argentina 1991-2001. In 1991 the currency board regime named 'convertibility' was implemented, within the framework of important neoliberal reforms introduced by the State. These neoliberal reforms facilitated capitalist restructuring, characterized by a leap in productivity, investment and profits. Likewise, these reforms generated imbalances which, along with the changes in the world market conditions from 1998, led to the deepest crisis in Argentina's history. The inefficiency of state neoliberal policies in managing the crisis, based on fiscal adjustment to guarantee the continuity of external financing, led to an economic depression and a financial crash, sparking a mass rebellion and the end of convertibility.

The Relationship

Zakat plays a significant role in Muslim community as an agent in alleviating the poverty. The calculation of zakat payment depends of the calculation of nisab, which is the least amount of zakatable items of a Muslim wealth in one circle year. The zakat is an obligatory duty to a Muslim once the amount of wealth reaches the least level of nisab. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the niṣāb amount changes and the poor indication in Malaysia. This is based on the discussion of the contemporary scholars, who claimed that the price fluctuation in the world market impacts the amount of niṣāb of zakāt. Relatively, it could affect the poor once the price dropped. Therefore, the comparative analyses of the annually niṣāb and poverty line income data from 1993 to 2015 identifies that there is a significant correlation between the facts. Accordingly, it is an alert to the zakāt institution to take a precautionary step in preventing this situation.

For the period 1965-1977, for each of the five ASEAN member countries (Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore) as well as for the whole of the region, were examinee the evolution of the volume and of the components of the import and export trade, as well as that of the proportional share of the various trading partners. The following tendencies are apparent. 1) The region's national economies are increasingly « world trade oriented ». 2) Since the founding of ASEAN in 1967, the proportional share of intraregional trade has been declining. 3) The composition of this trade is increasingly determined by the needs of industrial countries. 4) The proportional share of the trading carried out with industrial countries, and particularly with Japan, is also increasing. 5) Singapore seems to play a key role in this articulation of the integration of the region to the world market, an integration detrimental to regional internal integration, an official goal of the ASEAN.

The current stage of development of the institutional structure of the world and national economies is characterized by a permanent strengthening of integration tendencies, the essence of which is in the desire of business entities to establish long-lasting relations in all spheres of activity. One of the results of such integration processes is the enhancement of the role and scope of activities of integrated corporate structures. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to explore the conceptual foundations of corporate integrated structures formation. Achieving this goal is based on methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction. The article examines the essence of integrated corporate structures, the prerequisites for their emergence, as well as the key motives for enterprise integration. The necessity to make decisions regarding the formation of integrated corporate structures on system-synergistic basis, aimed at improving management systems as well as improving information systems in the management sphere, has been determined. The main features of integrated corporate structures have been identified. Systematization of forms of corporate integration within horizontal and vertical types has been considered. Taking into account the participation in the corporate structures enterprises of different fields of activity, in order to successfully manage them, it is necessary to identify the features of formation of corporate structures depending on the characteristics of economic activity and ensure a permanent flow of information from subsidiaries to the central company or from subsidiaries to the main enterprise considering regulatory and legislative regulation. The results of the study allow to deepen the understanding of the theoretical aspects of the formation of integrated forms of enterprise and can be used in substantiating the directions of enterprise consolidation in the conditions of foreign trade liberalization and strengthening of competition in the world market of goods and services. Key words: integration, synergism, integrated corporate structure, competition, international competitiveness.

Improving the world's aggregate energy efficiency is consequential for global sustainable development. This paper evaluated the world's aggregate energy intensity reduction along with economic growth and industrial transformationusing the panel data of all countries around the world from 1971 to 2016. The overall energy intensity of the world was decomposed into activity mix and national intensity based on LMDI approach, and we found that the latter was the main driving force for the reduction of the world's overall energy intensity. We further analyzed the relationship between energy prices, technological progress, and national intensity. The results showed that technological progress and energy prices significantly decreased national intensity, with significant regional differences, however, no significant impact appeared in a price-declining period. To reduce energy intensity, localized measures in different supra-national regions are needed.

Abstract. Introduction. Nowadays the world is on the cusp of major changes. The eastern market is becoming much more popular, important and powerful for the international community. India and China are already openly fighting for world domination through the dynamic growth of their own economic and military potential. It should be noted that, it was important for a detailed analysis of the economies of these eastern countries not only to process statistics, but also to take into account traditions and culture. Purpose. The main idea of this article is to understand clearly the aspects of further development of the world economy and to identify economic risks and trends, analyzing the following macroeconomic indicators of eastern giants’ countries. Results. A detailed analysis of the dynamics of GDP’s changes over the past 5 years was conducted and once again emphasized the power of these national economics that has only grown in recent decades. The importance of initiatives and innovations, creating by the eastern neighbors for the world community, was highlighted through a determination of the role of India and China in the integration international associations and study of the attracted investments. The interdependence of the world’s market and the eastern market of India and China was considered, a detailed breakdown of exports and imports of goods and services was carried out and that gives us the opportunity to identify the most important and most powerful groups of goods for today. Conclusions. The study identified similar aspects of the development of emerging economies such as India and China, which were supported by reports from objective sources of statistical information. Determining the macroeconomic situation of the next national economies allowed us to explain how the COVID-19 pandemic changed the action plan of the studied countries, to find weaknesses of strong enough economies, and also to make certain predictions about the future world market.

The Relationship

In the middle decades of the nineteenth century, as slavery was disappearing elsewhere in the New World, slave-based plantation production of sugar in Cuba reached remarkable heights of technological sophistication and output. In 1868 Cuba produced 720,250 metric tons of sugar, more than 40 percent of the cane sugar reaching the world market in that year. Yet just as production reached these levels, the abolition of slavery in Cuba was initiated, beginning a process of slave emancipation that was to last nearly twenty years. Yet just as production reached these levels, the abolition of slavery in Cuba was initiated, beginning a process of slave emancipation that was to last nearly twenty years. This concurrence of events raises the question, What was the relationship between slavery and the development of sugar production, and why did emancipation in Cuba take place when and as it did?

Today the world economy presents a rather complex structure in which the sinergic effect is gained by that at the turn of the century managed to perform transition the post-industrial development stage, establish powerful transnational companies , to take leading positions in international economic organizations and integral associations. For the countries of agrarian-industrial type, the globalizational changes, liberalization, trans-nationalization, integration, post-industrialization generate new challenges and threats for future development of their national economies. The possibility of increasing their economic potential is in fact minimal. A variant of escaping economic territorial desertisation of the countries with raw material type of economy can be implemented by strengthening their comparative advantages at the expense of increasing the redistribution level in the energy, timber and mining sectors. In particular, for the countries-energetic powers it is not as much as increasing volumes of the commodities offered but rather expanding the assortment of corresponding services. In this context, an alternative of Russias economy diversification is seen in expanding its positions in the segment of construction and servicing facilities. For this, of strategical importance is developing schemes of financing and managing the corresponding projects, as yet today China, India and South Korea severely compete with Russia.

The Relationship

The literature on imperialism suffers from a fundamental confusion surrounding the relationship between capitalism and imperialism. The aim of this work is to bring clarification. In the first part, we state our position regarding the capitalism-imperialism relationship; in the second, we discuss some important points in the marxist debate on imperialism; and in the third, we review the various paths imperialism has taken in Latin America under capitalist development. The central point of this work is the way that it places imperialism at the conjuncture of capitalist development, particularly extractive capitalism. This conjuncture is characterized by the decline of neoliberalism as an economic model; a growing demand for energy, minerals and other «natural» resources in the world market; and the political economy of the development of natural resources (large-scale investment to acquire lands and the natural resources they contain, the export of primary products). The key dynamic of what we call «imperialist extractivism» is analyzed in the South American context, which represents the most advanced, but regressive, form that capitalism has taken, so far, in the new milennium. Our analysis of this dynamic is summaried in 12 theses.
