The second module will concern their economies of post-soviet territory and actually economies in transition. We will speak about central Asian caucuses central European countries and of course Russia which is the leader and the core of integration of this region. And of course we will also touch the point about their differences in their one road one belt initiative European Union integration and Eurasian economic union integration. And the third module in this course will be devoted to the newly emerged countries. Those are basically those of Asian-pacific region of Balkans and those of Africa. We will speak why they emerged, we will speak of why they gained independence, and if there were any referendums of their residents if they wanted to be independent during the last 30 years. And I will end this course and I will end this course with the theory of Wallenstein which is called the world systems' theory, and we will study from that why the core countries can be more progressive and more successful than their peripheral countries or semi-peripheral countries. So join the course!
