The shaping of the world stage and the key issues that arise from it will be<br>left more and more to the economy. Heads of state in an effort to maintain or strengthen their<br>position on the world stage seek to replace the declining role of geopolitics with geoeconomics<br>in order to achieve national goals and interests.<br>If geopolitics and military power in the twentieth century were the main tool for<br>achieving the goals and interests of states, that role is now in the twenty-first century left to<br>geoeconomics and economic power. The goal has not changed at all, only the means have<br>changed and thus their efficiency and effectiveness.<br>It is more than obvious that we are entering a phase when international politics and<br>thus international relations are increasingly revolving around the economic interests of states.<br>Economic diplomacy is becoming a key factor in shaping relations between states and other<br>entities on the international stage. Geoeconomic competition is an unfair competition where the<br>rules and ideologies on which the economy is based do not apply. Empirically, geoeconomics<br>is becoming a basic parameter of the international order, international hierarchy and relations<br>between states.</p>}, number={8}, journal={Proceedings of the International Scientific Conference "Social Changes in the Global World&quot;}, author={Vasileski, Zoran and Masevski, Stojance}, year={2021}, month={Dec.}, pages={260-271} }
