        1. The World Economy: main concepts and development trends
        1.1.  The World Economy as a study

      Perhaps the most important characteristic of the modern world is its global character. Objective processes of globalization could not but reflect the economies of previously scattered countries. The global economy is a multi-level, global economic system uniting national economies of the world based on the international division of labor through systems of international economic relations.
      In other words, the global economy is a combination of national economies and non-state structures, united by international relations and participating in the international division of labor.
      The modern world economy has a very complex structure, a lot of different trends. And it should be noted that the most dynamic and complex processes currently occur mainly in the global economy.
      Now the global economy has become so interconnected that production in isolation is virtually impossible. The main components of the global economy are:
      - national economies,
      - transnational corporations,
      - integration associations,
      - international economic organizations.
      At the beginning of the 21 century the development trend of the world economy has become the process of globalization (a single global market for goods, services, capital, labor and knowledge). Globalization is accompanied by internationalization (a process of strengthening participation of the country in the world economy).

      The most important trend in the global economy has become its liberalization. Positive trait liberalization in that it laid the foundation for the development of post-industrialization, which is one of the most important features of the world economy of the XXI century. For countries in recent decades, membership in various international organizations has become the norm the most probable prospects for the development of the world economy.

           ►          Definition 1: The world economy is the economy of global society and national economies, as economies of local societies, making the global one.
           ►          Definition 2: The world economy is the economy of the world, comprising of different national economies; besides each economy related with the other in one way or another
           ►          Definition 3: The world economy is world-wide economic activity between various countries that are considered intertwined and thus can affect other countries negatively or positively
           ►    We can define the World Economy as:
           ►          set of interconnected national economies system of international division of labor, economic and political relationship;
           ►          system of international economic relations, as general, universal connection between national economies;
           ►          global economic system, self-replicating on level of productive forces, production relations and certain aspects of legal and political relations to the extent which incoming, business entities have a certain compatibility at each of the three named levels.
      We can note the following main characteristics of the world economy:
           ►    The complicated system (a number of actors)

           ►   The common aim (meeting the needs)
           ►         Integrity (all parts of the system are intertwined and interact with each other)
           ►   Structurally
           ►   Hierarchy
           ►   Dynamic balance of world economy
     The global economy is a socio-economic and historical system characterized by:
     1.       Integrity, which implies a sustainable interaction of all component parts (components). However, system integrity is not at all means its harmony. The latter can only be hypothetical or most likely ideally. Objective reasons hindering harmonization of the world economy, which has arisen to the present day, exist today, and will be thereafter (this, unfortunately, is the nature of man).
     The presence of a common goal - the functioning of the economy is aimed at meeting human needs (demand), but in different subsystems, this goal is modified due to different socio-economic conditions.
     It should be noted that economics is only a method of satisfying human needs. Over time, humanity has realized that housekeeping, not only at home, but also at the country level, at the state level (or, in other words, the economy itself) is the least costly method of satisfying human needs. There are also wars, raids, robberies, theft. But it was economics that turned out to be the most effective way to meet human needs.
     Of course, the best satisfaction of human needs occurs precisely in those economic systems where such an institution as competition exists.
     But competition in production is a derivative of political competition.
     Again, it is no coincidence that the first problems that the settlers of New England were solving in the colony of the Massachusetts Gulf,

starting in 1630, were the question of the election of power and the interaction of authorities with the population. This is written in his books by Daniel Burstin.
      The multiplicity of its constituent elements. Relationship between separate elements of the world economy are levels, and between states -international level that is regulated international rules and regulations.
      2.       Structurality. The most important proportions of production and circulation make up the structure of the world economy in terms of reproduction, industries, technology, etc., and the important point is the country placement on the territory of the earth of these structural components. Besides sectoral structure also stands out socio-economic structure of world economy.
      3.       Hierarchy. The global economy cannot develop without a certain order based on international public and private law that govern economic relations between states, economic associations, legal and by individuals. This is controlled by various international organizations.
      4.       The uneven development. The uneven development, both in general, and in individual sectors, and in country aspect. The global economy is linked hierarchically uneven distribution of wealth and resources due to concentration of production (and consumption) in some zones - these zones are nothing more than centers capital attraction, and periodically take place moving or displacement or relocation these centers.
      5.       Dynamic balance of world economy. Dynamic balance of world economy as a socio-economic system. Quantitatively, the equilibrium state of world economy is expressed economic efficiency. In absolute terms, economic effectiveness is measured by GDP, in relative - by GDP per capita.
      The basis of the global economy is economic development -quantitative and qualitative sustainable changes in the economy, including its structure, population growth and its needs, usually at base of expanded

reproduction. Main criterion of economic development is served by economic growth (extensive and intensive) - a change in the volume of goods and services produced.

        1.2. The formation of the world economy, stages of its evolution



      The evolution of the global economy spans several centuries and includes a number of stages, depending on the level of development of world economy.
      The first stage - XV-XVI centuries. Great geographical discoveries led to the formation of the world colonial system (territorial redistribution peace) as one of the conditions conducive to economic unification countries and the rapid development of trade between metropolitan states and colony states. The latter represented the "periphery" World Economy. There was so-called a “price revolution” and it started initial accumulation of capital. Based on the development of world trade the world capitalist market was born, the basis for which was manufacture development. However, it was very limited in terms of turnover and remained the sphere of application of merchant capital. Methods development - extensive, based on colonialism.
      The second stage - XVII - the first half of the XIX century. The formation of the world market of capital, the emergence and development of international division of labor. In turn the material basis for the development of international division of labor served industrial revolution, bourgeois revolutions and the transition from manufactory to factory production system. The reason for this was revealed discrepancy between their own narrow craft and manufacturing production base of individual countries with the market needs of the world economy.
      The global market has emerged as a form of manifestation of world economy. The development of world trade was accompanied by the emergence of other forms international economic relations, such as, for example, as the export of capital, that is, the export, first of all, of money.
      The third stage in the development of the world economy - is the modern one - the middle of the 19th - 20th centuries.
