FOREIGN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY: THREATS AND CHALLENGES OF THE PRESENT (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE CUSTOMS INDUSTRY)

Abstract

The current socio-economic situation in the international space poses many challenges and threats to the Russian Federation that need timely and adequate responses. The rehabilitation by a number of unfriendly states of the post-industrial development model forces them to look for (and find) new ways and algorithms of development, reorienting the logistics directions of foreign economic activity from the West to the East Asian vectors of development. In connection with such a restructuring of the foreign economic model of integration relations management, there are many new tools, models and algorithms of activity that have not yet been taken into account in the scientific domestic and foreign literature and therefore require special attention and study in terms of increment of scientific knowledge, which redefines the relevance of this article. The Federal Customs Service (FCS), within the framework of the ongoing processes, is a kind of "filter" or "barrier" to unfair competition and illegal economic actions in relation to the Russian Federation. Therefore, it is from the positions and possibilities of its development prospects that the possible positive dynamics of the process of further foreign economic activity is considered. The study was conducted from the standpoint of systemic, complex, situational and process approaches. The materials of monographic studies, statistical reporting data and documents of software and target support served as an information layer. As practical recommendations, reference points for the growth of the effectiveness of the system of foreign economic activity are outlined.
