Other Important States and Regions « previous page | content | next page » As it has already been underlined, three leading world regional centers will dominate economic space in the future. These are: American space; European space; and Pacific space, the zone of "new prosperity" that in its turn will consist of several competitive centers - Tokyo, Beijing, Taiwan, Seoul, Singapore, etc. However, the picture could be more complicated. Indications are that in the 21st century China, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Thailand, and others will join the number of world giants together with the US and Japan, who will lose their dominant positions. New powerful groupings, apart from the APR, will emerge in Latin America and in Africa (the South African Republic). The practice of Ukrainian foreign policy in Latin America should be fundamentally reviewed. The sad experience of Ukrainian participation (or more accurately, the failure of attempts at participation) in international gas pipeline tenders on the development of corresponding complexes in Bolivia and Brazil should be thoroughly analyzed. The situation where up to 80% of Ukrainian exports to Latin American states (particularly, to Mexico) go through Russian mediation that receives enormous profits and presents these goods as Russian ones, while the Ukrainian Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations and Trade do not notice this fact or acts as if it does not, is unacceptable. A similar situation can be observed in many African countries. Great opportunities of political and economic potential in the African region should be effectively made use of. The SAR is a key country in the South of Africa. Ukraine has enormous possibilities in making a breakthrough on the SAR market. Among the priorities of potential Ukrainian exports to the SAR are metal wares, products of shipbuilding, and aviation industries. Ukraine is interested in supplying the SAR with high technology products and has good opportunities in the sphere of military technical cooperation. Ukraine should thoroughly support and promote its economic (military-economic inclusive) and political presence in these regions, actively vying for "new economic niches" on world markets, the more so as in distinction to Russia it does not have a long trail of imperialistic and geopolitical ambitions. At the same time Ukrainian policy in these regions is far from being optimal. « previous page | content | next page » top Web ukrainetrek.com CONTENTS Annotation Foreword Preface Main Conclusions and Recommendations Strategic Priorities of Ukrainian National Security and Foreign Policy for the Future (O.Honcharenko, B.Parakhonsky) I.
