The article outlines the main trends in the structure of international trade at the present stage and indicates in general the reasons for such changes. International trade as the main form of international economic relations at the present stage of development mediates almost all types of international cooperation associated with the globalization of the world economy. Both the positive aspects of globalization, which allow the most active development of all forms of international economic relations, and the negative ones, which manifested themselves in the context of the global financial crises, were noted. The essence of the main theories of international trade development (such as the theory of absolute advantages, the theory of comparative advantages, the theory of the ratio of factors of production, Keynesian theory), which traces the relationship with the formation of the world economy. Based on the analysis of data from the International Monetary Fund, the following current trends are substantiated: first, the real economy is developing more slowly than the financial system; secondly, the interconnection of financial systems in connection with the processes of global integration of economic elements has increased, which increases the risk of a “chain reaction”; third, the financial system is becoming increasingly complex due to the variety of instruments and operations. We explain the main provisions of the theory of factors of production as explaining the main trends in the structure of international trade. First, a gradual decrease in the value of the marginal utility of each additional cost of factors of production is allowed. Secondly, the same structure of consumption, the same tastes and habits of the population, the same production conditions of producers, constant tariffs, transportation and other costs. All this, of course, in our subjective opinion, fits into the total system of globalization, international industrial cooperation and economic integration of countries, the consequences of which are the outlined trends in the structure of the international economy.

The current state of the world economy is characterized by instability and mobility. In the context of a protracted crisis, aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic, competitive contradictions between the leading actors in international economic relations and world politics are exacerbating. Each of them is trying to fix the positions they have won in the world arena, resorting to the tools of economic and military diplomacy to achieve their strategic goals. The confrontation between old and new world leaders of the world economy is being transferred not only to traditional markets, but also to new ones, which were previously on the periphery of their economic interests. The African continent today, like in the nineteenth century, attracts more and more close attention of the leading states of the world. Rich in natural resources, it becomes an arena for the struggle for control over it from the United States, China, and European countries. Taking into account the fact that for Russia the field of foreign economic activity has significantly narrowed in recent years, its return to Africa should become one of the priorities of the national foreign economic strategy. In the above context, it seems relevant to comprehensively study the stages of development of economic relations between Russia and African countries and, based on historical experience, to identify the shortcomings and failures of economic policy in relations with African partners. When writing the article, the authors used general scientific research methods, primarily the dialectical method of cognition, the logical and historical method, deduction and induction, and mathematical methods. In the course of the study, the following results were achieved. (1) Based on the analysis of historical documents, the nature of the economic relations of the Russian Empire with African countries at various stages of their evolution has been determined. It has been established that, at the initial stage of interaction, Russia, in its desire to establish economic contacts with the states in the region, relied on the principle of respect for their sovereignty as independent states, independent subjects of international economic relations; however, at the following stage, associated with the beginning of the colonial division of Africa by the European powers, Russia was forced to passively participate in the colonial aggression against the countries of the region, entering into international agreements with the colonialists on the status of African countries. (2) Based on the processing of statistical data on the foreign trade of the Russian Empire with African countries and territories, a tendency has been revealed that characterizes the gradual curtailment of Russia’s economic activity in this region.

International monetary and credit relations are an integral part and one of the most difficult areas of a market economy. They reflect the problems of the national and world economies, which historically developed in parallel. With the globalization and internationalization of the world economy, there is an intensification of international flows of goods, services, and especially capital and loans. International monetary and credit relations (IMCO) are one of the forms of international economic relations (IEE) along with such forms as: international trade, international movement of capital and foreign investment, international labor migration, international cooperation in science and technology, international division of labor (specialization and cooperation of production). Russia is one of the key partners in the world market in the field of currency and credit relations and trade, which affects the country's economic development. On the financial market arena, Russia acts as a lender for developing countries, and is also a borrower from more developed countries. In the modern realities of the development of international economic relations, it is worth considering various alternative financial markets or renewing old international economic relations, as an option these are the countries of the Middle East. Today, market economic relations between Russia and the Middle East are based on mutually beneficial conditions for both parties. The Russian Federation views the Arab countries, firstly, as a market for its manufactured products, technical equipment, and secondly, as a prospect for credit relations and the development of a market for energy products. At the moment, the improvement of relations in the currency and credit directions is aggravated by the state of the world economy and foreign economic activity of Russia.

In the present stage of development of international economic relations multilateral regulation of competition is becoming more and more important in order to, firstly, annul the effects of domestic rules of competition that are today considered the greatest non-tariff limitation, secondly avoid conflicts that can be caused by exterritorial implementation of national rules in this field, and, finally, define the rules of behavior in the world market. Although the first attempts to regulate this field were made pretty long ago and some activities were taken within UNCTAD, OECD and GATT, no comprehensive rules considering the issues they define and a group of countries that implement them have been adopted at the international level, so far. For the time being, numerous competition problems in relations among countries have been overcome by concluding a number of bilateral agreements and several regional arrangements.

A criterion for an assessment of international economic relations’ risks has been offered. This criterion is based on proposed approach to assessment of risks for world economic dynamics and economic dynamics of different countries and territories. The economic dynamics risk is estimated by comparison of economic growth rates’ average size and a risk measure — a mean square deviation of growth rates. Definition for a line of market of international economic relations’ prospects is offered, similar to the capital market line in the financial assets’ profitability model (CAPM). On the basis of IMF data for 2004-2013 the economic dynamics risks for Europe and CIS countries have been estimated. It has been established that in Europe only economies of Switzerland, Poland, Albania and Malta have the risks below the world economy ones. From among the largest economies the smallest risks have economies of Great Britain, Germany and France. The greatest risks have economies of Italy and Spain. In the CIS only Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan have the risks below the world economy ones. From among the CIS countries the Ukraine has the worst risk criteria.
