The Principles of Global Economic of Aggression

https://doi.org/10.26794/2308-944X-2018-6-4-30-40

Abstract

To characterise the studied economic wars and aggression, the author of this article uses the prefix “global”, not “geo”. There are at least three reasons for that. First, an economy, but not the territory or political system, is the direct goal of aggression. Second, aggression is carried out regardless of the territorial location of its victim, and aggression, as a rule, is carried out by several entities. That is, it has a global character. Third, the term “geo-economic aggression” is already used to refer to the theory of a new geopolitical struggle. The word “aggression” in the title of this paper it is used in the article because those wars are declared, but global-economic acts are usually committed secretly. Global-economic wars and aggressions have been waged for centuries, and there is no reason to expect them to end soon. For this reason, it is useful to know the explicit and implicit principles, which their initiators and organisers are guided. Ten principles of global economic war and aggression are discussed in this article.
