Socio-economic grouping of countries and regions: the experience of the largest international organizations
Abstract
The article is devoted to analytical review of the use of socio-economic groups of countries in methodological support and practical work of major international organizations - the UN, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund. Despite the long practice of using the «geographic dimension» of global development it has not taken the necessary place in the toolkit of program management of global and regional development, monitoring of the socio-economic environment. The article discusses the features of the spatial classifications, methods of their creation, application sphere, and current changes. On the basis of time series of data in terms of the regions some tendencies of modern world socio-economic development are analyzed.
