Poltorakov, A.Y. The geo-strategy of the modern state: political and economic dilemmas

Abstract: The modern state should achieve a necessary balance and optimum correlation between resource guarantees of its foreign political and economic activities in the glocal aria based on the global “conjuncture”. The problem of choosing the right correlation is especially topical for the “medium states” , such as Ukraine. For them declaring the idea of “economizing foreign policy” is a principle domestic challenge, and in practice it comes to the level of “politization of foreign economic connections”. In the conditions of “stable instability” of the global order the international context gains more and more value for the geo-strategy of a state. The key challenge is the principle change in the general character of subjects of international relations. The juxtaposition of these factors leads to the conflicts between long-term and short-term goals, and the geo-strategic “exchange” becomes more topical.
