Abstract:

The article is devoted to the problems of the socio-economic conditionality of the external economic functioning of states with transition economies. A systematic approach was chosen as the methodological basis for the consideration of the socio-economic viability of society. A dynamic model of foreign trade revealed a functional relationship between export and import indicators and the main factors reflecting the state of vitality of the socio-economic system. It is shown that the choice of directions for the development of foreign economic interaction of any society with its counterparties is influenced by the interaction (struggle) of such economic interests as system-wide interests (expressed primarily in the desire of society to strengthen its socio-economic viability), interests of various social classes, interests of social groups.
