THE ESSENCE OF THE DIGITAL ECONOMY AND ITS IMPACT ON GLOBALIZATION PROCESSES

Abstract

This article discusses the essence of such interrelated terms as “globalization” and “digital economy”. In the context of modern developing relations, the digital economy plays a very important role both at the micro level and at the macro level. Accordingly, the topic of our study is quite relevant, since the categories under consideration serve as one of the models of a post-industrial society. An important role is played by modern information technologies, which serve as a fundamental tool for the development of the digital economy.
