Global Value Chains and Their Potential Role in the Development of Russian-Belarusian Integration
In this article the author examines the phenomenon of the spread and the different approaches to the typology of global value chains, as well as the economic benefits from participating in them. Currently, in the areas of high economic activity scientific and expert community regards the global value chain as one of the tools to increase the degree of economic integration of the regional economies.
