Transformation of International Economic and Business Alliances in the Face of Global Turbulence: Challenges of Sustainable Development

Abstract

The article presents a study of transformation processes in international economic and business alliances caused by global turbulence. The relevance of the problem is substantiated in the context of geopolitical tensions, disruption of global supply chains, acceleration of digital transformation and increased requirements for sustainable development. A study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of strategic analysis tools, digital analytics, risk management, and ESG approaches to improve international cooperation. Structural changes in global alliances were analyzed, in particular the regionalization of cooperation, public-private partnerships, and digital ecosystems. The methodological basis of the work is a systematic, comparative and economic-analytical approach, including modeling of strategic scenarios and case studies of leading international alliances in 2015–2024. Key factors influencing the evolution of global partnerships were identified: geopolitical risks, digital infrastructure, investment mobility, environmental obligations and international trade dynamics. The transformation of international economic and business alliances appears as a new paradigm of cooperation that ensures stability and flexibility of the global economy. This highlights the increasing importance of adaptive governance mechanisms in global economic cooperation.
