Review: This article is dedicated to examination of the main trends of localization of production and distribution of added value between the developed and developing countries. The emphasis is put on the fact that in modern world, the high level of production development contributes to the emergence of intense competition among the producers of goods and services. Currently, the main competitive advantage is the production of high quality products at most affordable prices. Therefore, the manufacturers search for opportunities to reduce costs by outsourcing separate stages of production process to the countries where it can be achieved.  The subject of this research is the combination of trade and economic relations occurred between the countries in their participation in the global economy. The object of this research is the global production systems. The theoretical and empirical foundation contains the works of Russian and foreign scholars, publications of the World Trade Organization, Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation and World Bank. The relevance of the selected topic is substantiated by the growing number of foreign and national publications on the geographical diversification of production. Such studies are aimed at the improvement of methodology essential for the comprehensive assessment of the efficiency of countries’ participation in the global production systems. An important question remains the aggregation of statistical data on the international level to the single database, as well as replenishment of the existing databases with information on the developing countries. The authors attempt to give characteristics to the key world trends of the development of global chains determining the success rates of the countries, corresponding rates and benefits; as well as suggest a range of measures contributing to the more active participation of Russian in this system.

Review: People’s savings play an important role in the development of national economy as they are referred to the main sources of financial investments. An essential condition for implementation of this role is the consumer demand for the services of financial intermediaries, which transform unorganized savings into organized savings, with subsequent involvement into investment process. Russia’s economy experiences deficit of “long-term money” that can be restored in form of bank deposits, insurance contracts, and pension plan. The subject of this research is the analysis of saving behavior of the population of Russia and China, namely such fundamental aspects as the goals and motives, frequency and rate of savings, and relevance of various saving instruments. The sociological survey became the main research method. The author also used the methods of formal logics, statistical methods, and basic methodology devised by the scholars of University of Michigan. The scientific novelty consists in calculation of the indexes of saving behavior that the encompassing indicators of the people’s saving activity. It is concluded that the population of Hefei is known for its higher level of optimism. Lack of interest in acquiring additional income results in the fact that the majority of respondents from both countries form unorganized savings; while bank deposits remain the most demanded for of organized savings. The low percentage of organized savings is associated with the limited financial capacities, insufficient level of financial literacy, and low yield of the basic saving instruments.

Review: The subject of the study is the system of state regulation of the ecological and socio-economic situation. A conceptual model of territorial management in the form of a stratification of governance structures on the basis of a social conditions manifold (on the principle of powers separation) is created. The model is implemented in the form of a periodic system (organization of organizations) that commutatively combines all the independent institutions of activities.
To formalize the model, the concepts of institutional approach and polysystem stratification (fiber bundling) were used. The situation is described by model of sustainable development, which is based on the idea both of conservation of nature and development of society.
The model refers to the paradigm of public administration as a network phenomenon of interaction between management entities. The organization of territorial management must have the quality of functional completeness, i.e. ability to solve any problem with your means. A mathematical model of the process forming the completeness of the implementation of the system function of territorial management is proposed. It is proved that in the organization of territorial management there shouldn't be special institutional bodies which are responsible only for conservation and rational environmental management. All governing bodies through specialized departments are obliged to fully implement these tasks within their competence.
