The role of science as a factor of integration of countries in the context of globalization

Abstract

Geopolitical situation in the world today is resigned to the active influence of globalization processes. In turn, they can develop in opposite directions. On the one hand it implies the openness of economies, the fusion of cultural and social spheres, on the other hand it demonstrates the localization of the competitive advantages of independent states. This localization is caused by uneven distribution of economic resources in a wide range of factors: natural, physical, geographical, social, historical, ethnic and others. Consequently, diversification of economic structure of countries on a number of ranking prejudge their macroeconomic indicators that forms the current multi-level system.
