The synergistic effect of international business and international relations in condition of globalization

Abstract

    Complex research of issues on the relations between international policy and international business does not exist yet not only in national, but in world literature as well. Absence of such researches is explained: firstly, by relative novelty of awareness of international business re-politicization, caused, correspondingly, by radical changes in the structure of international relations within last 15-20 years, and also, relative inertia of the world science in the international policy and economy. Secondly, Georgian business world, till recently, concentrated its efforts on the projects inside the country, and looked at perspective foreign plans through the prism of principles of free movement of capitals and independence of business from the state. Failure of several Georgian projects abroad in recent years forces both the Georgian companies and the state to overview ideology of their work at foreign markets and in foreign countries, and this, in its turn, forms demand on relevant research.  Thirdly, essential methodological and organizational barrier for elaboration of the issues on relations between international business and international policy became dissociation of these two scientific directions, which should have been engaged in these issues. These directions are represented by various academic communities, not possessing the methodologies and toolkit of one another. In our opinion, time has come to unite the efforts of these scientific directions in research of political aspects of doing the international business. Unfortunately, it is not quite easy to do this. The present article is dedicated to the methodological problems, which should be overcome for synergy of researches in the sphere of international relations and international business. Methodological problems of researches will be discussed on the example of studying the international companies (IC) – one of the most important, but not the only object of researches in the international relations and international business.
