Russia’s International Specialization: Opening and Missed Chances
DOI: https://doi.org/10.33917/es-6.186.2022.86-91
We describe the “window of opport unity” objectively opened up after the coronacrisis for Russia’s entering advanced service niches in global industrial chains and improving its international specialization. We show that after falling under Western sanctions in Spring 2022, Russia has lost this opportunity and suffers a technological rollback due to isolation from global markets.
