Abstract
The modern development of digital platforms, ecosystems and digital services has led to the fact that the modern economy has actually become a platform type. A digital platform in a broad sense can be considered as a digital form of organization of relations between platform operators, suppliers and consumers, as well as the procedure for regulating these relations.
The purpose of the study is to propose an original mechanism for managing platform relations between Russia and China based on a cybernetic approach. The main objectives of the research are: to analyze the degree of scientific development of platform relations and cross-border cooperation between Russia and China in the context of the formation of a digital economic model; to develop an original mechanism for managing platform relations between Russia and China, as well as a mechanism for legal regulation of platform relations.
Materials and methods. The research methodology includes analysis, as well as systemic and cybernetic approaches to modeling the mechanism of regulating platform relations.
The theoretical foundation of the research draws upon a wide range of scholarly works by both Russian and international authors. These include studies focused on the evolution of bilateral relations between Russia and China, as well as research examining the development of the platform economy in the context of digital transformation. These works provide a conceptual basis for analyzing emerging trends in cross-border digital cooperation and informs the development of practical models for regulating platform-based interactions in the contemporary economic landscape.
Results and conclusions. The authors propose a cybernetic approach to the formalization and modeling of mechanisms, both in the theoretical aspect and in relation to platform relations. The cybernetic approach makes it possible to model mechanisms in complex dynamic systems in order to solve specific legal problems.
Discussion. The results obtained can be applied in practice in the development of trade and economic relations between Russia and China in the context of permanent transformation processes and sanctions pressure from a number of foreign countries, as well as in scientific activities in such areas as: 1) conducting further research on the platform economy in the context of cross-border trade; 2) supplementing the theoretical basis for the study of platform economies; 3) the proposal of an original methodological toolkit that makes it possible to assess the effectiveness of cross-border cooperation in the context of the development of the platform economy
