Considering the importance and wide scope of the problem of network organization of international relations, incl. field of economics, also taking into account the level of adoption and implementation of government decisions, the article is divided into three parts. The fi rst contains a review of the literature on the research topic under consideration; an introduction is given that refl ects the real situation in the global community and the global economy, against the background of which the idea of a network organization developed not only at the level of companies and corporations, but also reaching the level of actually interstate interaction, thereby transforming it. The idea of a network system for managing international relations is based on the rationale for dismantling the Westphalian system, which, as adherents of networkization ideas believe, is losing its signifi cance for the global world community, as a positive concession of national sovereignty in favor of global institutions is becoming widespread. This is seen as movement along the path of progress and democracy. In the economic sphere, the feasibility of developing a network structure is theoretically justified by the recommendations of the Washington Consensus (1992), postulating the de facto loss of the state, as an institution, of its basic functions to ensure the safe and prosperous life of citizens. As a result of the progress of the globalization process within the world community, the world economy has transformed and acquired the form of a three-level “pyramid”, which actually contributes to the development of network relations between actors in the international economy. In the second part, the authors explore the ideas of the actual network organization of the world community and emphasize that network regulation of international relations was supposed to be considered in the context of equal participation in the network of all potential actors: from the state to NGOs and NGOs, including TNCs/MNEs and TNBs, as well as various international (UN, OECD, IMF or WB, etc.) and public organizations (various unions and religious, political communities, including extremely radical ones). In modern conditions, network management of MO and IEO is most revealing at the EU level, where the ongoing foreign and foreign economic policy is not connected either with the national interests of the EU countries or with the ability to provide for the vital needs of citizens of EU countries. The authors focused their attention, while exploring the networking of international economic relations, on the development of the process of gradual transition by management of the creation of global GDP based on augmentation and its transfer to the competence of artifi cial intelligence (AI). As a counterversion of the networking of international relations and international economic relations, the authors consider the position of countries that defend the promotion of a multipolar confi guration of the world community, since polycentrism presupposes the development and strengthening of the Westphalian system, but taking into account modern trends in the development of the world community. Multipolarity de facto negates the proposed concept of networking of the Moscow Region. The third part is aimed at studying the process of digitalization of managing the creation of GDP based on the development of AI, which in turn is an auxiliary tool that promotes increased efficiency of the reproduction process. The absolutization of the role of AI in the creation of global GDP is a market factor, the importance of which is given exaggerated importance. AI is a product of soft-ware, and its potential is determined by the goals and objectives set by humans. At the same time, an unconditionally positive aspect is the desire at the interstate level to reach agreements on the restrictive parameters of the development and operation of AI, on preventing cyber attacks and hacking of national networks, etc. In conclusion, appropriate conclusions are drawn.
