Risks and Challenges to Trade Within Digital Economy

Abstract

Discussions and debates over international trade in the global digital economy, especially e-commerce have surged in numbers in the recent years. This article establishes the growing tendency of implementing information technologies in trade relations and examines the main opportunities for Russia to promote ideas concerning the development of digital technologies in international economic relations. The recent 2018 WTO Public Forum in Geneva discussed the role of the correlation between digital trade policy and socio-economic development. The idea of how Russia can contribute to the evolution of emerging technologies is developed within the paper.
