These trends have been identified on the basis of an analysis of the regional coefficient of asymmetry of key per-capita indicators (GDP, investment in fixed capital etc.) as well as indicators of spatial concentration in Russia and deviations from the average (for GDP, per capita GDP and investments) at the federal district and regional levels. The main factors driving the dynamics of these disparities were the economic crisis, government anti-crisis measures and measures of social support. Comparison of the level of interregional disproportions in Russia and abroad indicated that the differences between levels of socio-economic development at the federal level are comparable with differences in EU countries, but at the level of regions - with countries of the world.

Selection of the regions and countries of focus, which to the greatest extent meet these goals, is an important scientific and practical task that allows making projects as efficient as possible. The article presents the experience of solving this task through the use of method of multifactor classification. The main factors affecting successful promotion of the Russian language and education in Russian were revealed; evolution of the position of countries of Latin America in foreign policy of the Russian Federation was traced; groups of countries that differ by potential of promoting the programs of studying Russian language and education in Russian were identified.

the developing countries’ positions in the world brought us to explore the foreign trade of African countries. The research aims
to identify trends and new segments for the development of economic relations. We hypothesise that, despite the difficulties in
national development, African countries has managed to create areas of successful development by changing the foreign trade
structure under the influence of regionalization. The research is based on statistics gathered from international organisations,
including the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, African Development Bank Group, and foreign trade statistics
from Côte d’Ivoire. We used the academic literature in the field of foreign trade as the methodological base. The article analysed
all types of foreign trade structure (geographical, territorial, organisational, and commodity ones) simultaneously at the global,
regional and country levels. As a result of the analysis at the global level, we created a classification of African countries, which
identified groups with positive changes in foreign trade structure. Thus, such countries can become leaders in the modern
international cooperation. The analysis at the regional level determined some regional integration groups belonging to the
category of "growth platforms". The main research result at the country level (on the example of Côte d’Ivoire) is the authors’
typology of internal districts. It allowed us to identify "core-regions" and "growing regions" and offer them as perspective points
of interaction. These results can be used for economic cooperation with Africa in the framework of implementing the decisions of
the "Russia-Africa" summit and economic forum (October 24, 2019, Russian Federation).

На основании анализа региональной и товарной структуры экспорта и импорта, выявлено, что несмотря на снижение доли стран
Африки в мировой торговле, происходит рост внутрирегионального товарооборота большинства региональных интеграционных объединений. Товарная структура внутрирегионального
товарооборота семи ключевых интеграционных объединений Африки более диверсифицирована, чем в международной торговле.
The paper studies the changing role of regional communities in the formation of trade flows of intra-regional trade of Africa in the last 25 years. It’s revealed that the growth of intra-regional trade turnover of the majority of regional integration groupings reduction of the share in world’s trade
and the growth of intra-regional trade turnover. Commodity structure of integration groupings in intraregional trade is more diversified, than in international trade.

Abstract. In a highly competitive environment between the leading world powers for spheres of geopolitical influence, it becomes important to implement the projects and programs aimed at promoting Russian language and education in Russian in regions of the world.

The authors share the findings from their analysis of a set of educational models for the SCOU, provide an assessment of the role of backbone Russian and Chinese colleges in and their contribution to the implementation of priority areas for the training of specialists from SCO member states, share the findings from their statistical analysis of demand for joint export educational programs (JEEPs), and examine some of the key forms and characteristics of the academic mobility of students attending school via a JEEP, which they view as an indispensable part of today's international educational process. The paper shares the findings from a sociological study which was conducted by the authors in the form of a questionnaire-based survey of students from top Chinese and Russian colleges participating in the SCOU program for the purpose of exploring the motivation of students in the context of planning out their individual educational path based on the pursuit of studies overseas. The work makes use of SCOU-related data from the Ministries of Education of China and Russia and various statistics websites on the Internet to analyze the results from the implementation of SCOU JEEPs and also explore the foreign student body attending school in Russia. In putting this work together, the authors employed a set of traditional methods of research, including classification, comparative analysis, summarization, juxtaposition, forecasting, and surveying by questionnaire. The authors' assessments of the potential of the Russian market for export educational programs, based on the example of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Network University, have helped put together a set of recommendations on boosting the competitiveness and efficiency of the market for the export of educational projects and programs.

The analysis is based on the indicators that define social and economic potential (regional GNI, GNI per capita, growth rates, share in global production output, etc.). The article examines in detail the structural and regional shifts in Latin America’s foreign trading: the share of manufactured goods in Latin American exports has shrunk sharply since 2000; primary commodities have become more important for the region’s trade; China has become a privileged trading partner for Latin America; the region’s resilience to the crisis has renewed trade interest from the EU; the USA’s share in the region’s trade has reduced. The analysis allowed a proposal for decision methods addressing major issues in the region’s trade through the diversification of Latin American export and the intensification of intra-regional trade.

These trends have been identified on the basis of an analysis of regional coefficient of asymmetry on key per-capita indicators (GDP, investment in fixed capital, etc.), indicators of spatial concentration and deviations from the average in Russia (volume of GDP, per capita GDP and investments) on the level of federal districts and regions. The main reasons of dynamics were economic crisis, the governmental anti-crisis measures and measures of social support. Comparison of level of interregional disproportions in Russia and abroad resulted that differentiation of levels of socio-economic development at the federal level is comparable to the differences in EU-countries, but at the level of regions – with countries of the world.
