Abstract
The paper studies the theoretical and methodological principles, regularities, and new trends in the formation of international production networks (IPNs) in the global economic space. It determines the imperatives of their development, substantiating the priority nature of integrating national actors into IPNs. The author applies the methods of fuzzy clustering and classification using the artificial intelligence technologies to data on the dynamics of key economic and technological markers of 35 countries in the 2007–2016 time frame.The work identifies a clustering-like structure in the sample country set; allowing determining patterns in the correlation between a country’s manifested potential for ascending into and within international production networks and certain development and international integration indicators. The sample is thus grouped into six clusters based on the degree of integration into IPNs. Due to the use of classification analysis, the rules for assigning a country to a particular cluster were obtained. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that the main imperative for the development of international production networks is innovative development. The overall concept of localization of Ukrainian enterprises at all stages of value creation within networks was offered.

Summary
Among the problems directly related to the development of the world economy in the twenty-first century are the global structural transformations of international economic relations that affect all spheres of public life. World practice shows that in a significant number of cases, a thorough study of such systems based on traditional (deterministic or static) modeling becomes ineffective, requiring the development of new approaches to the description of the formation and operation of international production networks (IPNs). One of these approaches can be based on the use of a fuzzy clustering method that employs artificial intelligence technologies. It is a priority to study the involvement of Ukrainian enterprises in international production networks and take into account the global imperatives for the development of these networks
