WILL THE GLOBAL ECONOMY USE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR REFORMS, AND THE WORLD FOR PEACE AND COOPERATION?

Abstract

In the Editorial for issue 8 of Economics, wondering where the world of today is going, we noted that
all key short-term challenges are on the rise: terrorism, extremism, isolationism... Unfortunately,
half a year later, and right before year 2018, we cannot say that things in this respect have become
any more favourable. The key word of the majority of analyses of the global economic situation
remains to be “risk”. Only the list and the meaning of the risk are expanded.
