metadata.value: Globalization in the 21st century, like any profound process occurring in society, brings both
  new opportunities and risks. One tool that helps countries overcome continued economic uncertainty
  is strategic planning. Despite the fact that the scientific community is still debating
  whether the state should coordinate a country’s economic processes, in practice the number
  of strategic trade and economic initiatives is constantly growing. This article analyses trends
  in the design of trade and economic strategies in developing countries from 2000 to 2015,
  reasons for growing interest in implementing such initiatives, and changes in the structure
  of strategic documents. Calculations are based on systematic and graphic analyses of data
  published by the International Trade Centre and the World Bank. The results of this analysis
  show that increasing interest in implementing trade and development initiatives in the 2000s
  was preceded by a World Bank policy aimed at alleviating the burden of high-indebted by poor countries. This policy required beneficiaries to have a poverty reduction strategy (e.g. the
  Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers — PRSP). The development of PRSPs helped to create and/
  or restore institutional mechanisms needed to implement such initiatives, which had been
  lost back in the 1980s. The promotion of the global development goals—Millennium Development
  Goals (MDGs) 2000–2015 and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2015–2030,
  adopted by 193 UN member states — served as a trigger for scaling up the development of
  strategic initiatives. Such initiatives adopted in developing countries, with the support of international
  organizations, were focused mainly on solving the food and nutrition problems
  and improving basic social services. Their successful implementation improved existing planning
  practices and increased the effectiveness of state institutions in developing countries. At
  the same time, the first positive results returned faith in the effectiveness of these strategic
  programs for the development of a country’s economy. This created an impulse for the capacity
  of developing countries to implement later trade and economic strategies without the
  support of third organizations, giving them the autonomy to allocate resources in high valueadded
  sectors. Nevertheless, despite all the efforts in developing countries, the weak points of
  these initiatives remain poor elaboration of action plans and the lack of financial resources to
  achieve stated objectives.
