In the framework of the analytic approach to Quantum Chromodynamics a new model for the strong running coupling has recently been developed. Its underlying idea is to impose the analyticity requirement on the perturbative expansion of the renormalization group beta function for restoring the correct analytic properties of the latter. The proposed model possesses a number of appealing features. Namely, the analytic invariant charge has no unphysical singularities at any loop level; it contains no free parameters; it has universal behavior both in ultraviolet and infrared regions at any loop level; and it possesses a fair higher loop and scheme stability. The extension of this model to the timelike region revealed the asymmetrical behavior of the running coupling in the intermediate- and low-energy domains of spacelike and timelike regions, that is essential when one handles the experimental data. The developed approach enables one to describe, in a consistent way, various strong interaction processes both of perturbative and intrinsically nonperturbative nature.
