This proceedings book presents papers from the 18th International Scientific Conference, held in September 2019 at Volgograd State University (Russia). The research findings are largely based on the theoretical assumptions of Oleg Inshakov, renowned for his pioneering work on the theory of economic genetics and the theory of "development nucleus" for economic systems. The papers focus on the impact of the 4th industrial revolution on economic growth, the concept of ecosystems corresponding to the rapid spread of digital technologies, regulatory and legal aspects of the Russian economy digitalization, the development of digital technologies in EAEU and BRICS foreign trade, and the corresponding law enforcement measures. The book is intended for academics and practitioners, as well as anyone interested in the problems of new industrialization and the digital transformation of the economy of business entities, regions, countries and integration unions, and their legal regulation to enhance competitiveness on a national and global scale

This book discusses fusion of technology and body of knowledge through elaboration of theoretical concepts and conceptual frameworks to ensure the economic growth of the Russian Federation by utilizing the huge potential for innovation and entrepreneurship in Russia. The book presents recent research to solve the most challenging problems facing digitalization in the field of entrepreneurship in the country. Some of them need specialized personnel training; the considerable financial resources needed for the maintenance of digital technologies; how to market enterprises and organizations; and financial instruments designed to support industrial development. The proposed results will create the conditions for a systemic approach to tilting towards supporting new ventures through an improved regulatory framework-currently virtually absent in the field of entrepreneurship at the national level. The book defines prospects for investment in renewable energy sources, circulation of energy resources, and energy efficiency improvements to gain positive economic effects from the introduction of new technologies.

This book is a comprehensive economic and legal study of the theoretical and practical aspects of the problems of increasing energy efficiency; self-motivation of energy saving by business entities within the framework of their corporate responsibility; regulatory mechanisms to stimulate energy conservation in the economy; civil-law regulation of foreign trade turnover of energy resources between economic entities of the Russian Federation and companies of member states of international integration associations - the CIS, EEMP, the EU and BRICS. It argues that technological energy saving plays a key role in reducing the energy intensity and increasing the energy efficiency of the economy, and substantiates the need for institutional support - including legal support for the participation of the Russian Federation - in various forms of international cooperation. Lastly, based on an analysis of current legislation, programs and recommendations, judicial and contractual practices, customs and trade procedures, it offers proposals for the developing, improving and unifying civil law regulation of obligations in the sphere of international trade in energy resources, as well as methodological recommendations for drafting foreign trade contracts in the energy sector.

The monograph explores general provisions, theoretical economic and legal bases and all practical tools for alternative methods of judging economic conflicts. The dynamics of modern business at the new stage of economic development in the 21st century is accompanied by the emergence of various kinds of economic conflicts between business entities, and this is the reason for the need to resolve them. Inclusion of a number of alternative methods in the Russian legislation and economic practice is very actual and occurs with the perception of the positive experience of foreign countries. These methods of judging economic conflicts penetrated the Russian business environment in the process of interaction between subjects of the Russian business community with foreign investors and businessmen. A new scientific result is the classification developed by the authors of methods for judging economic conflicts. Classification is based on the principle of dichotomy, based on the criterion of legislative fixation of methods for judging economic conflicts, and forms two ""branches"". The first branch - methods of judging economic conflicts, regulated by a positive law: mediation, arbitration court, international commercial arbitration, claim procedure. The second branch is non-jurisdictional methods, regulated by soft law: ""med-arb"", ""mini court"", judge ""for hire"", financial ombudsman, discussion. This classification predetermined the need for a consistent examination of the nature of each type of alternative methods of judging economic conflicts, based on its attribution to a specific group of jurisdictional and alternative mechanisms.
