Abstract
The article presents an analysis of the main directions and features of the global transformation of international trade policy in the first quarter of the 21st century as a system of targeted actions by states, integration associations and other subjects of foreign economic activity, formed as a result of a clash of their interests based on the growth of competition in the world and the actualization of the task of ensuring national economic security, on the one hand, and the need for developed countries. On the other hand, countries should maintain their exclusivity in global economic processes.
This situation directly affects the economic interests of the Russian Federation, which increases scientific and practical interest in the stated topic.
In these circumstances, the need to understand the consequences of this transformation, to study the experience of various states reforming their foreign trade policy, in terms of adapting successful experiences for third countries, comes to the fore. The article presents the key implications of the transformation of international trade policy for the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council and provides strategic recommendations for the countries of the integration bloc to strengthen the region's position in the global trading system in the future.
