18

There was held the presentation of the issue of the yearbook “Year of the Planet”, dedicated to the outcomes of the year 2020. The members of the Directorate of the Institute as well as the authors of the issue attended the meeting. Director of the IMEMO, Corresponding Member of the RAS, Dr. of Science (Politics) Feodor Voitolovsky, Chief Editor of the “Year of the Planet” Yearbook, Academician Vladimir Baranovsky and Deputy Director for Scientific Work, Corresponding Member of the RAS, Dr. of Science (Economics) Sergey Afontsev were among them.

The year 2020 was marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has left a depressing imprint on the global economy and casted a gloomy shadow on the sphere of world politics. Having exacerbated the accumulated problems and increased the competition between the leading centers of power, the pandemic has become a factor of the formation of the new global economic and political reality.

The paradox of the year 2020 is that despite the obvious need to consolidate the efforts in the face of the pandemic, the vector of global development has shifted towards the more nationally protectionist and he selfishly pragmatic guidelines.

On the pages of the yearbook “Year of the Planet” there are assessed the most important events in international life, and are analyzed the trends in global economic and political development.
