The international cooperative relationship model based on social network analysis and game theory

This article regards international cooperative trade as a typical organisational cooperation paradigm and behavioural process. The correlation characteristics between multinational enterprises were studied using dynamic game theory. The focus was on resource dependence and collaborative relationships between different types of enterprises. Cooperation and mutual confrontation are game strategies of international industry collaboration organisations. The expected returns, resource dependence, and realistic collaboration costs determine the final consequences of strategic evolution. Resource dependence affects the rate at which the behavioural decisions adopted by participants tend to reach equilibrium strategies. The diversity of collaborations between firms makes strategic evolution more complex. Finally, this article provides relevant suggestions on international cooperative relations based on social network analysis and game theory.

For the Benefit of All Men: Oceanography and Franco-American Scientific Diplomacy in the Cold War, 1958-1970*.

In the 1960s, the growing strategic importance of ocean exploration led the French government to develop greater capacity in marine scientific research, aiming to promote cooperative and diplomatic relations with the leading states in ocean exploration. Devised during Charles de Gaulle's government (1958–1969), the restructuring of French oceanography culminated, in 1967, in the establishment of the state‐led Centre National pour l'Exploitation des Océans (CNEXO). Beyond being intended to control the orientation of marine research at a national level, the CNEXO's mission was to use scientific diplomacy to balance a desire for enhancing international cooperative relations in oceanography with French ambitions to equal the USA's leading capacity to explore the oceans. Its director, the naval officer Yves la Prairie, played a crucial role in articulating scientific, national, and diplomatic interests for France in the oceans.

The Role of Incubators in the Internationalization Process of Incubated SMEs: A Perspective of International Cooperation

This study aims to understand the role of incubators, involved in international cooperation networks, in the process of internationalization of incubated small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Thus, in exploratory research, the method of multiple case studies was used, that is, three incubators (cases) were studied, two in Portugal and one in England. Interviews and documentary analysis were used as data collection techniques. From content analysis, the results of this study show that the objectives of these incubators are the development of local entrepreneurship through innovative projects, differentiating between them, by the positive impact, linked to socio-environmental criteria. All the incubators studied reinforce entrepreneurial behaviour and create an environment of innovation and internationalization for their incubated SMEs. Based on the empirical evidence, the internationalization activities of SMEs are facilitated by incubators involved in international cooperation relations. Some implications for theory and practice in this area of research are also presented in this article.

Specialization in the production of intermediated goods as a primary development and development of international co-operation relations

The article is devoted to the analysis of manifestations and scales of development of the latest international cooperative relations in the context of the export of goods intended for consumption in the process of production (intermediate goods). It has been argued on the basis of international statistics that increasing the volume of intermediate consumption exports is an indirect indicator of the intensification of relations between enterprises through international cooperation. It has been determined that the rapid growth of global value chain creates additional advantages of international cooperation due to diversification of production and sales processes and operations and deepening of inter-country forms of cooperation, in particular through non-equity forms. Therefore, the importance of the current article assumes figuring out the linkage between economic development and the intensity of the counties’ engagement into international cooperation through the production of export oriented intermediate goods; this is the purpose of the article. During the study, it was found that there is no direct influence between the high-tech intermediate goods production and the positioning of the country at high-tech stages in the global value chain. However, empirical studies have also shown that access to a broad list of foreign intermediate goods at competitive prices plays a crucial role in boosting productivity in both developed and emerging economies. Therefore, a perspective direction for further research is the development of regulatory measures aimed at maximizing the potential of manufacturing sector development based on a more complex and dynamic labor division and increasing demand for special intermediate goods and services.

FEATURES OF UKRAINE'S PARTICIPATION IN INTERNATIONAL CONTRACTUAL RELATIONS

The article highlights theoretical and practical aspects of economic rivalry escalation between countries in the process of deepening international economic relations, which are not mediated by investments. The purpose of the research is to summarize the empirical data and theoretical developments of the determinants, macroeconomic effects, and peculiarities of the countries’ participation in international production and marketing cooperation through the format of non-investment contractual relations and investigate their potential for Ukrainian enterprises. The subject of the research is contractual relations as an instrument for incorporating the country’s enterprises into global value chains. Methodology. Assessment of competitive advantages of countries integrated into the international subordinate production was carried out using the techniques of Vollrath T.L. and G. Lafay. Results. Based on the generalization of empirical data and theoretical studies on the latest trends in deepening economic rivalry among participants in international cooperative relations, there were found out factors of activation of non-investment forms of external expansion by TNCs, in particular, the exhaustibility of the extensive way of cross-border production development and investment, and the increased level of investment risks caused by permanent economic crises, political instability, corruption of local elites in the countries where TNC units are localized, regional military conflicts. Estimation of the level of comparative advantages according to Vollrath T.L. and G. Lafay approaches made it possible to identify the competitive positions of the producers of individual countries in the system of international cooperation. Estimation shows that among 41 tested countries, the most significant index of the identified comparative advantages in production under contract was demonstrated by the following countries: Bangladesh, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Paraguay, Romania, South Korea, Hungary, Poland. Additional testing according to the criteria values of the Lafay index confirmed the list of countries with the highest level of advantages Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Poland, Romania, Morocco, Malaysia, Hungary, Czech Republic, China, Bolivia, and Albania. Assessment of the state and potential for the development of international cooperative relations for Ukraine allowed us to identify a number of destructive factors, in particular, the lack of a relevant legal framework for contractual relations and the instability of the political and economic situation in the country. Practical implications. Possibilities for deepening the participation of Ukrainian enterprises in the contractual relationship system are related to their resource and technological comparative advantages, in particular, the availability of free production facilities, a relatively high level of production processes automation in comparison with selected African and Asian countries; availability of skilled labour force with its relatively low cost to the customer countries. Value/originality. The study of the Ukrainian enterprises’ participation in the system of international cooperation and the definition of sectoral specifics in the use of cross-border contractual relations make it possible to identify the problems of macroeconomic effects for the national economy.
