Global factors such as internationalization and markets liberalization affect everywhere. It is established that the economic crisis acts as the incentive for the external relations development in developing country because at that moment foreign trade substitutes losses in domestic market.

Other homogeneous communities of the developing state have no certain criterion at the contractor’s choice, they follow the general political policy of the country, but the existence of just a political motivation leads to the unreasonable growth of declarative formal agreements. The slowing down process of developing countries subnational units inclusion in foreign economic relations can be explained by the insufficient enterprise activity as a main reason.
