Abstract
By the fact of own spatial existence, the each object (process, phenomenon) forms a multilevel system, promoting differentiation and concentration. The necessity to study the territorial projection of international economic relations of various sizes is emphasized. The geography of foreign economic relations at three spatial levels is studied: 1) macrolevel (international trade), 2) mesolevel (foreign economic relations of Russia), 3) microlevel (foreign economic relations of the federal subject – the Republic of Bashkortostan). Combining these results allows us to establish interrelations, interdependencies between geographical levels that most fully reveal the basis of the functioning of the international division of labor. The application of territorial approach to studying foreign economic relations of countries and regions allows us to disclose the regularities of geographical division of labor, to reveal the cause-and-effect relationships of the functioning of international trade, the foreign trade of countries and individual administrative units of states, uniting them into a single system. Understanding the mechanisms of formation of this system gives rise to prospects to effectively manage it.
