We note that the complexity of modern relations between countries and the disrupted economic and political cooperation lead to the fact that the subjects of international economic relations are looking for new ways and forms of interaction within the framework of export-import trade, which do not always comply with the requirements of the law. We consider the issues of combating customs crimes, give the concept of customs crimes, identify issues that hinder the effective investigation and disclosure of customs crimes, suggest ways to solve them. We provide official statistics on these acts. We emphasize that the issue of combating customs crimes is more ur-gent than ever, due to the fact that the number of illegal acts in this area is growing every year and causes irreparable damage to the economic security of the state. We also reflect the role of customs authorities in the prevention and detection of crimes related to smuggling. We analyze the question of the presence of a set of crimes qualified under the articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on smuggling. Conclusions: it is necessary to de-velop legislation in this area, improve the work of customs authorities, intro-duce new technologies to detect violations of customs legislation, develop strategies for the most effective investigation of this category of cases, im-prove the professional skills of employees, fight corruption-causing factors, which together will allow the most active fight against this type of crime, which in turn will significantly increase the welfare of the country and im-prove the climate of international economic cooperation between states.

The modern globalised world is characterised by economic independence, which is a component that measures the level of relations between countries, the content, direction and intensity of which has begun to be influenced by economic dependence. In other words, economic relations have become central to diplomatic activity, which determines the relevance of the subject matter. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of economic diplomacy in the system of modern international economic relations, to compare the theoretical model of economic diplomacy and the practice of its implementation. This paper uses the following methods: scientific abstraction; monographic, dialectical, historicallogical; structural-logical; abstract-logical; methods of regression analysis; synthesis; problem-oriented method; statistical and graphic methods. The author used a Scatter plot model and performed a regression analysis to determine which free trade area (Ukraine-EU, Ukraine-Canada, or Ukraine-Israel) affects Ukraine's GDP growth. The study model confirms the positive relationship between Ukraine's GDP growth and the growth of foreign trade turnover (FTT) between Ukraine and the EU. The linear model explains that a 1% increase in FTT affects an average 5% increase in Ukraine's GDP. At the same time, the regression model shows the opposite trend in terms of FTT between Ukraine and Canada, Ukraine and Israel. Thus, the dynamics of Ukraine's FTT with these countries does not have a significant impact on GDP. Only the growth of FTT between Ukraine and the EU indicates the effectiveness of bilateral cooperation. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in the fact that the theoretical foundations, conclusions, and recommendations obtained and formulated by the author can serve as a basis for further study of issues of economic diplomacy and for the development of such a concept of economic diplomacy, which should take into account the positions of stakeholders to balance the interests of ensuring the national economic security of the state

Israel's economy is distinguished by a high degree of involvement in international economic relations. The peculiarities of Israel's economic development indicate a large-scale transition from low-tech (agricultural and textile industries) to high-tech (defense industry, high technology) production. This has become possible both thanks to American aid to Israel and due to proper investment in education. A feature of the current stage of technological development is the transnationalization of industries, the commercialization of Israeli start-up companies, the creation of an innovative environment for business development. An extraordinary turn for Israel was the shift from energy dependence on Arab producers to energy independence and an exporter of natural gas. Israel, Greece, Egypt and Cyprus have found common interests in energy and natural gas production off their shores. Due to the discovery of energy resources in the exclusive economic zone, Israel has declared itself not only as an energy independent actor in the regional economy, but also as a potential exporter of natural gas in the region and to Europe. In addition, the intensification of Israel's international economic relations with the countries of the world has shown itself in expanding the geography of new agreements on a free trade zone with a number of states. It is thanks to this that new markets for the supply of Israeli products in Africa and the CIS strengthen Israel's international economic cooperation, establishing strong and promising economic ties.

The article presents an analysis of negative trends that significantly worsened the quality of international economic cooperation in 2018–2019. These trends sharpened in the context of the 2020 crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is noted that the contradictions and antagonism between the largest participants in international economic relations are structural in nature, and the institutions of international economic cooperation and dialogue have lost their effectiveness. An author’s view on the possibilities of developing international economic cooperation after the crisis of 2020 is proposed.

IN MY GOVERNMENT AND OPPOSITION/LEONARD SCHAPIRO lecture in 1993 I attempted an incomplete analysis of international economic relations after the end of the cold war, in particular the unexpected tensions and difficulties. The end of superpower confrontation had not only removed one incentive for Western countries to settle their economic disputes. It had also lowered the priority given to security issues, where national governments were in control, and had exposed their dwindling ability to take economic decisions, because of the extent of the interdependence which was the price paid for their prosperity. I could not think of a single area of domestic policy immune from international influence. Professor Susan Strange has developed a more trenchant analysis of this trend in her Government and Opposition/Leonard Schapiro lecture this year.
