Impact of Global Trends on the Formation of State Competitiveness Geostrategy

The study of the impact of global trends on the formation of state competitiveness geostrategy is an important context for understanding contemporary issues of global development and is a relevant topic for interdisciplinary discourse. Employing an integrated approach to researching these aspects of global development can lead to a better understanding of the interplay between geopolitics, global trends, and state competitiveness in the geoeconomic space.The article argues for the impact of global trends on the geostrategic positioning of states in the geoeconomic space and outlines the methodological principles of forming the competitiveness geostrategy of a state in the global arena considering its “geostrategic location” and “strategic presence zone.” The concept of competitiveness geostrategy is proposed to encompass a set of strategic measures aimed at defining and ensuring a state’s competitive advantages within the current global conjuncture and trends. The main stages of developing a state’s competitiveness geostrategy are delineated, including analysis of global trends, determination of the state’s “geostrategic location” and its “strategic presence zone” in the global space, selection of strategies, action plan development and resource utilization, as well as strategy monitoring and evaluation. It is argued that the development of competitiveness geostrategy entails identifying the best ways to achieve geostrategic goals of the state, assessing threats and opportunities, and strategic development vectors considering existing resources and constraints.Based on the analysis of the “global risk landscape” and the interrelationship map between them, global trends creating significant challenges for global development in general and significantly impacting state competitiveness under the conditions of the “great reset” in the vast majority of them are outlined. Using an adapted version of the McKinsey matrix, a matrix of state geostrategic positioning in the geospace is constructed. On this methodological basis, scenarios of competitiveness geostrategies for different states in the global space are outlined, considering their “geostrategic location” (current position) and “strategic presence zone” (geostrategic priorities).
