FACTORIAL CLASSIFICATION OF STATE INTEGRATION POLICY

Summary 

Development of the international movement of the goods and its production causes the deepening of integration processes, which implies the existence of more reliable enterprise-selling links between countries, the removal of numerous barriers to international trade and production factors. This is only possible within the frames of intergovernmental integration union, which is based on multilateral political contracts and agreements.

Economic integration is the process of economic interaction between the countries that are closer to their economic mechanisms on the basis of interstate agreements and regulated by interstate agencies.

The effect of integration into the international economy is measured depending on the outcome of the economic union of the countries: whether it leads to free trade, and on the contrary, how much does it limit the trade stream. Under the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT), it is possible to establish a customs union and free trade zone under the conditions of the most promising regime. Under the rules, before the creation of an integrative group it is possible to conduct transitional negotiations, which should prepare the basis for the creation of a customs union.

The founder of the Economic Integration Theory is Canadian scholar Jakob (Jacob) Wainer, who analyzed the volume of trade between the countries before and after joining the integration.   As a result of the creation of the Customs Union according to the Wainer there are two types of impacts in the economy: Static and Dynamic. Static effect is an economic outcome that appears in the early stage of the creation of an integral group as its immediate result. The dynamic effect is the economic outcome that emerges in the late stage of the creation of the integration group as the function of the group.

We deal with the origin of a new level of integration that will not only integrate the countries but the national economy of the regions as well within the frames of globalization. It shows the difference between countries' integration and integration of regions.

The region (Mezolevel) is involved in the process of integration of a foreign-funded enterprise. The degree and depth of the involvement of the region in the international integration process depends directly on the level of development of the region, which in turn relates to the country's innovation and investment processes.

The higher will be the level of socio-economic development of countries and regions, the easier it will be the process of integration, and on the contrary, there will be resistance to depressive countries and regions.

 When the integration zones are formed in the national economy - the sharply developed regions with significant investment and socio-economic potential, with minor economic and political risks, having a favorable geographical location, attractive market of transnational capital, the process of social and economic development of the national system is performed more efficiently.
