In the article, the structure and key content aspects of the new textbook Economy of Benelux Countries by E. A. Sergeev, PhD in Economics, Associate Professor of the Departments of World Economy and History and Politics of European and American Countries at MGIMO-University, Senior Researcher at the Institute of International Studies (MGIMO), and Zh. N. Komissarova, PhD in Economics, Associate Professor of the Department of World Economy at MGIMO-University. There still exist gaps in Russian research of small European countries and Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg in particular. The textbook is designed to fill one of these gaps and presents a comprehensive analysis of the three economies, covering topics from real, financial, and foreign economic sectors to social systems and enterprise size structure in the Benelux countries. The textbook is well-grounded with extensive illustrative material — numerous tables and graphs based on national and international statistics, including an original — first in Russian research — Dutch economic history periodization. Another significant advantage is the explanation of theoretical concepts (e. g., “small open economy”) using examples of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, which not only familiarizes the reader with the (sub)region’s economy, but also increases their theoretical knowledge. The textbook also includes a thorough description of individual issues of particular relevance to Benelux — e. g., TNCs, demographic and migration is sues, labor market transformation and precarious employment, and regional economic imbalances. The textbook by E. A. Sergeev and Zh. N. Komissarova is thus of great importance for Benelux research and European studies, and is recommended for reading by university students, their teachers, and researchers
