Abstract

It is an integral component of the International Trinity curriculum, which includes courses on International Trade and International Business. This course should be regarded as a cohesive element within this curriculum, enhancing students' comprehension of international corporate relations. Designed as a comprehensive overview, this course covers key areas of international economics, including the global shifts in the world economy and the emergence of developing economies; the interconnectedness of international trade and financial flows; the balance of payments; and the nature and scope of international economic relations. It also examines the architecture of the world economy, identifies stakeholders in international economics, and explores avenues for external growth, such as the global trend toward digitalization and business activities in both product markets and markets for knowledge and technology. A significant emphasis is placed on the theoretical and methodological foundations necessary for conducting applied economic research and analyzing patterns in international economic relations. By mastering this course, students will establish a solid basis for understanding the dynamics of the world economy and the processes that shape it. Furthermore, it will enhance their proficiency in the methodologies and methods of scientific inquiry related to economic phenomena and processes.
