In the context of the developing global economic crisis, it is important to have an adequate methodological toolkit for the global positioning of the manufacturing industry in different countries of the world in the production value chains. In this work, the authors made an attempt to further develop their own concept that solves this problem. A methodology for calculating indices reflecting the dynamics of national industrial competence “in the context” of the integration of the country’s manufacturing industries into global value chains is presented. The calculations and conclusions are based on the OECD TiVA statistical database (2018). The tendencies of industrial development of thirty economies of the world, including the Russian one, were identified, taking into account their “embedding” in global value chains. So, if the manufacturing industry of Russia, participating in the international division of labor, manages to maintain an average level of general national industrial competence, then its strategic positions associated with the development of high-tech industries can be qualified as “outsider”. The author’s methodology seems promising in terms of assessing the global economic positioning of countries and formulating recommendations for national regulators of manufacturing activity.

The article examines the indicators of foreign trade of individual countries of the world; substantiates the directions of reducing the dependence of national exports on commodity prices on world markets; clarifies the development trends of trade and economic relations of Ukraine with countries of the world; examines the direction of expanding the national export potential. Object of research – the process of economic security in international relations. Purpose of study – improving efficiency of the mechanism of activization of development of the trade and economic relations of Ukraine with the countries of the world. Methods of research – method of abstracting, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, system approach. One of the main prerequisites for the effective functioning of the national economy, the key to its dynamic development is the expansion of export potential. Accordingly, the strategic objective is the largescale growth of Ukraine’s presence in foreign markets. The partial or complete loss of traditional markets reinforces the need to find effective solutions for the development of exports of Ukrainian products. The presence of Ukraine in the global production network has increased significantly over the past ten years, but still remains insufficient. For the active inclusion in the global value chains, it is necessary to change the commodity structure of Ukrainian exports and switch to the production of medium and high-tech products. Forecast assumptions about the object of study – improvement of the mechanism of ensuring economic security in international relations.

In accordance with the European concept of GVC, the study identified key players in the biotechnology market and attempted to analyze the degree of incorporation of Siberian biotechnology companies into global value chains. Preliminary results showed that domestic companies are poorly embedded in global value chains. In the markets of “red” biotechnologies, this is the import of primary highly purified / low-purified substances, depending on the scope of use in the final product and the export of high-tech R & D services. The weak link of our market in GVC is engineering and distribution. In the markets of "green" biotechnology, in which segments of genetic engineering can be distinguished (breeding new plant varieties, GM crops), biotechnologies for livestock and plant growing, high competitiveness and export potential have so far formed only in the market of biological plant protection products.

Participation Index

This article aims to investigate whether the international fragmentation of production and the global value chains (hereafter GVCs) participation affects the economic growth for a set of 40 advanced and emerging economies. It considers four aspects related to the type of participation and position in GVCs captured by different value-added measures: (a) vertical specialisation index; (b) GVC participation index; (c) GVC position index in low-tech sectors; and (d) GVC position index in high-tech sectors. A panel autoregressive distributed lag (PARDL) model is pioneeringly employed to capture the long-term relationship between economic growth and our four measures for annual value-added data from 1995 to 2011, provided by the World Input–Output Tables (WIOT). The main long-run results indicate that (a) higher levels of international fragmentation of production and GVCs’ participation ensure higher GDP per capita growth rates; (b) the fragmentation and GVCs’ participation are more important to GDP growth than the gross exports as a percentage of GDP; (c) GVCs’ participation index, which considers both the ‘forward’ and ‘backward’ participation, is less important than the vertical specialisation, measured by the foreign intermediate imports; and (d the countries engaged in upstream positions in low-technology GVCs were positively and significantly benefitted in terms of growth.

The article reflects the results of a study conducted as part of the research project "Providing the complementarity of digital and socio-economic transformations." The main directions of digital transformation influence at economic relationship and effectiveness of production are identified and generalized. The relationship between integration into global value chains with the concepts of smart specialization, cluster and ecosystem development is shown. It means that the basis of successful integration into global value chains is the developed innovative ecosystems of high-tech industries, on which developed sectoral and regional clusters can be based and in which, accordingly, there is a deeper smart specialization. Tendencies, peculiarities and drivers of the world digital development are considered. New global challenges of digital development and its impact on the economy and society in Ukraine are defined and analyzed. It is shown that over the last 20 years Ukraine has transformed from a newcomer in the field of information and communication technologies to a center for the creation and export of services. The state and possible prospects of development of Ukrainian Industry 4.0 in the context of post COVID-19 are analyzed. The main reason for the negative trends is the structural degradation of the economy due to the decline of the processing industry, which is a consequence of the crisis socio-economic and political phenomena in the country, lack of systemic state industrial policy and inadequate business climate. The main threats and new opportunities of socio-economic and digital transformations posed to the country by the coronavirus pandemic are summarized. The main emphasis is on Ukraine's ability to include value added in new chains or build on existing ones. Proposals have been developed for the authorities to provide the complementarity of digital and socio-economic transformations.

Global value chains are formed through value-added trade, and some regions promote economic integration by concluding regional trade agreements to promote these chains. However, it has not been established to quantitatively assess the scope and extent of economic integration involving various sectors in multiple countries. In this study, we used the World Input–Output Database to create a cross-border sector-wise network of trade in value-added (international value-added network) covering the period of 2000–2014 and evaluated them using network science methods. By applying Infomap to the international value-added network, we confirmed two regional communities: Europe and the Pacific Rim. We applied Helmholtz–Hodge decomposition to the value-added flows within the region into potential and circular flows, and clarified the annual evolution of the potential and circular relationships between countries and sectors. The circular flow component of the decomposition was used to define an economic integration index. Findings confirmed that the degree of economic integration in Europe declined sharply after the economic crisis in 2009 to a level lower than that in the Pacific Rim. The European economic integration index recovered in 2011 but again fell below that of the Pacific Rim in 2013. Moreover, sectoral economic integration indices suggest what Europe depends on Russia in natural resources makes the European economic integration index unstable. On the other hand, the indices of the Pacific Rim suggest the steady economic integration index of the Pacific Rim captures the stable global value chains from natural resources to construction and manufactures of motor vehicles and high-tech products.
