This paper analyzes the opposition between the «liberals» and «statists» in the Russian political and economic thought. It demonstrates that the economic liberalization is an absolute prerequisite for the transition to sustainable socio-economic development. Such development must rely on investment activities of the state, which in the current circumstances is a necessary but not sufficient measure for reversing the negative trends. The negative developments can be prevented only through implementation, along with the institutional changes in the economic area that form a strata of economically independent entrepreneursinnovators, of no less profound transformation in political institutions aimed at democratization of public life.

The essay seeks to explore the link between economic policy & conflict in Africa, locating the analysis within the global systemic paradigm rather than using the narrower nation- & ethnicity-oriented paradigms. The analysis distinguishes between economic resources & economic policy. It argues that although in Africa (as in most parts of the Third World) direct control over economic resources is still the main objective of the major international actors, there is a major shift towards the control over economic policy as a means to control the resources, & now increasingly towards the control of the African state itself. This distinction between economic resources & economic policy helps to explain why there is so much emphasis these days on matters of democracy, good governance, the rule of law, corruption, & other such instruments of state policy & practice. 31 References.
