Abstract

A comparative analysis of the scientific achievements of the Department of International Economic Relations since its foundation provides grounds for discussing the three main directions of scientific work: (1) the study of ecological and economic problems in foreign trade; (2) study of political and economic problems of Ukraine's integration into the EU, and (3) study of the actual problems of the contemporary world economy and international economic relations. In the scientific work of the department qualitatively allocated the first direction. An overview of theoretical results of research works on the study of ecological and economic problems in foreign trade, scientific publications, published theses, international scientific conferences «Ecological and economic problems of international trade» in 2011, 2013 and 2015 attests to the formation of the Department of International Economic Relations as a scientific team that unites scientists around the collective development of an important scientific problem and which reasonably claims to be a scientific school for the study of ecological and economic problems of the world economy and international economic relations. Key words : research work; ecological and economic problems; international trade; world economy; scientific school.
