Integration potential of the digital platform in the field of international trade: problems and solutions

Abstract

The article considers the digital platform as an integration resource in the field of international trade. The author proves that in order to use the digital platform more effectively, it is necessary to solve a number of key issues. So, at present, a common understanding of the digital platform and other related categories has not been developed in the research and analytical literature. The article emphasizes that the rules of using a digital platform in the field of international trade remain unclear for Russian business, therefore, the lack of legalization of this type of digital innovation affects its low demand in the business circles. The paper emphsizes that in the context of the regionalization of the world economy, a clear and unambiguous understanding of those areas that are priorities in the economic policy pursued by the state is of particular importance for Russian business. The author believes that the era of globalization of the world economy is coming to an end, and it is being replaced by a period of regionalization. In the context of territorial disintegration and increasing competition, the role of the digital platform as a factor that significantly reduces the costs of doing international business will increase. In the course of the research, both general scientific methods of cognition and narrow-profile ones peculiar to such branches of knowledge as the management theory, law and economics were used.
