Abstract
In the study the authors identify three approaches to understanding the essence of geoeconomics: geographical, instrumental and discursive. Within the first approach geoeconomics is interpreted as a scientific discipline that studies the economic aspects of global geographic space. Within the second as a strategy that involves the use of economic resources for foreign policy purposes. The third approach implies geoeconomics as a worldview or a way of seeing the world, in which economic goals and means of foreign policy activity acquire significance and priority. The authors come to the conclusion that neorealism and neoliberalism are associated with an instrumental approach, while constructivism is associated with a discursive one. From a constructivist point of view geoeconomics as a discourse endows actors with economic interests and obliges them to use economic instruments of international political influence.
