1.3. Alternative theory of modern economic and political integration
To be conventionally unconventional score theory, the authors have integration processes do not limit economic cooperation and economic policies, and distribute them on the political, cultural and other spheres of international relations. In the second half of the twentieth century. Western researchers developed a number of such theories (based unit responsible analysis of Western theories of economic and political integration of local researchers Kartunov and S. A. Laptev).
1.3.1. Communication concept
Karl Deutsch,
American researcher
The concept is based on the principle of "isomorphism" - assimilation, uniformity of certain sets. The growth of the ties between members leads to their rapprochement and unification, and under certain conditions and to create a new state or interstate organizations. That is the conclusion reached K. Deutsch, letting that political and economic processes, in particular, relations between individual states are subject to identical laws.
The growth of contacts, connections and exchanges can also cause "public safety" or society where there is a real belief that its members will not conduct a physical fight among themselves, and rozv'yazuvatymut contradictions in other ways. In addition, C. Deutsch examines the preconditions for success and failure in the integration process, examines and clarifies the conditions for successful development of integration processes, examines the purpose, conditions and means of integration. A peculiar variant is its stages, its development is the integration movement.
1.3.2. "Functional Concept"
E. Ettsioni,
professor
Columbia
University
The integration process is provided, first, the interpenetration of values and needs (or their base there is common international interests?), And secondly, the activities of subsystems such as:
a) economic, which functions as adaptation;
b) political, which sets targets and how to achieve them;
c) Legislation that provides integration;
d) value - helps reproduction system integrity.
T. Parsons, American sociologist
D. Mitreni,
English scholar
According to T. Parsons for the deepening of economic and political integration require such special arrangements as a universal legal system, expanding the rights and privileges of stakeholders, increasing the role of "symbolic mediation", above all, money, language, etc.. All this should lead to a deepening of integration processes and the emergence of a single, integrated system dominated by harmonious relations between its components.
1.3.3. Neofunktsionalna concept
E. Hague
Professor of Political Science
California
University
This concept takes an intermediate position between the communicative and functional concepts. To some extent it can be seen as an eclectic, since it absorbed the ideas of Karl Deutsch, T. Parsons, D. Mitreni. D. Mitreni is the idea of "branching", whereby the process of integration in one area promotes the integration of the other. For example, cooperation in technical fields leads to economic convergence, the last in turn to the political. E. Hague, and D. Mitreni considering the integration process as a "continuum", ie, continuous and inseparable phenomenon.
