Background. The problems of economic and trade disputes and conflicts cannot be considered outside the understanding of geo-economic strategies of key players in the world policy and economy, whose actions are caused not only by conflicts among themselves, but also by their allies, that is, international conflicts become geo-economic and global.
Analysis of recent research and publications. The leading politicians and economists of the world are actively engaged in the problems of the interconnection of the world economy, international trade, geo-economy and geo-policy with the emergence and development of international conflicts. There are the following Ukrainian experts among them: O. Bilorus, O. Vlasiuk, A. Halchynskiy, V. Horbulin, D. Lukyanchenko, Iu. Pakhomov, A. Poruchnyk, V. Sidenko, A. Filipenko and others. However today a new outline of international problems around Ukraine has been formed, it is involved in a number of geo-economic conflicts, which needs an adequate response to real and possible threats.

It has been alleged that, in addition to the economic war, the geo-economic conflict may be reduced to a cooperative game model with a positive sum. It has been determined that the human capital and innovations are the strategic geo-economic resource of the international relations subject. The assessment of geo-economic strategies of the USA, the EU, China, Russia and Ukraine has been made.
