4.1. Integration trends in post-socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
Integration trends in Eastern and Central Europe enter into force in 90 -s after the collapse of world socialism system, the collapse of the Soviet system and the rapid disintegration of Council for Mutual Economic Assistance - CMEA. As you know, CMEA did not justify its "historical mission" and in fact was "integrated community" that hindered the initiative of countries that intigrate in conducting independent foreign policy, caused economic stagnation, scientific, technical and economic backwardness, and the marginalization in the world economy. After long term forced self-isolation, the countries of "transition economies" of Eastern and Central Europe and newly independent states that emerged on the post-soviat ruins began the process of integration into the institutional structures of a balanced world economy. For the former Soviet republics, this process was too complicated. Although Constitutionally Union republics had "... the right to enter into relations with foreign states’’, in fact they were not subjects of world politics and international economic relations, and all their external economic relations were fullfilled through the center (Moscow), to be exactly - only by center. On the world map they were not marked as states, and the world considered them as the Russian-Soviet provinces. Under the influence of post-soviat imperial ambitions of Moscow integration processes in Central and Eastern Europe are characterized by both centrifugal and uniting tendencies, which fully reflect the situation in Europe and around the world that emerged from the termination of the Cold War.
Centrifugal tendencies – are connected with the desire of Eastern and Central Europe as much as possible to distance themselves from the former "socialist camp" and its implementation - CMEA, and the newly independent countries - from imperial encroachments of the former "big brother".
"Separation" means the transition to the principles of civilized coexistence, transition to equal and mutually beneficial partnership relations on the basis of recognition and respect for the sovereign rights of each country as a subject of international economic relations. Unifying tendencies manifested in the pursuit of Eastern and Central Europe and newly independent countries: together on the basis of civilized cooperation to solve the problem of joining the world economy and European Economic Area; and defend its own and collective interests in the modern international economic relations; achieve guarantees the internal and external security (economic, political, military); ensure the growth of national economies through international economic integration. Unifying tendencies caused the emergence of new trends integration processes in Europe.
Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania clearly and unequivocally, without any hesitation chose the path of economic and political integration into the European Union and the gradual establishment of a civilized type of relations with Russia as the successor of the former Soviet Union. Those followed by post-Soviet newly independent states - Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
