2.2. Preconditions and principles of international economic integration
Integration, integration of the economic union of countries, the conclusion of regional integration agreements are possible where these quite specific conditions - political-legal, economic, social, cultural and others. In particular, the most essential prerequisites for international economic and political integration are:
- compatibility of political and legal systems: democracy, rule of law, guarantee human rights, etc.;
- fundamental uniformity of economic systems and mature market relations;
- socio-economic homogeneity of national economies;
- sufficiently high level of economic development of the intehrantiv;
- equality of conditions of functioning of economic relations in an integrated economic environment;
- infrastructure and informational compatibility;
- willingness to cede part of its own sovereignty for the consolidation of cooperation;
- common economic and political interests between countries intehrantamy.
The system activates a set of specified conditions gradual and progressive deepening and expansion of traditional economic interaction in the direction of becoming a new type of relationship - in integrating cooperation.
Global integration process, its contents and characteristics are determined by technological progress, its impact on all spheres of life of human society.
Due to scientific discovery and technological revolution, the scale and nature of the principal problems of today's modern world of social and economic development, both general and global, make it impossible or ineffective solution of their individual countries and then objectively determine the integration and unity of effort against , material and spiritual means to resolve them.
The basic uniformity of economic systems intehrantiv countries means that the basis of their national economies are market, capitalist relations in the presence of certain types of such systems: the relatively free market system of the United States, socialist-market capitalism in Europe, state-managed capitalism of Japan and other countries East Asia.
Socio-economic homogeneity of the national economy provides the same type of industrial production facilities, conditions of employment, wages, social security, insurance and the like, provided the geographical and territorial proximity.
Middle and high enough level of economic development of the intehrantiv based on modern science and technology and technological equipment, ensuring complementarity and competitiveness of production. As shown international economic integration, this prerequisite is sufficient, but not necessarily required --necessary.
Uniformity conditions of the sub - regulation of availability of means of legislation, which guaranteed the inviolability of private property, the development of private initiative and created the conditions for efficient, profitable business.
On the basis of common economic interests, under the influence of significant political and economic factors is a gradual (in time) and progressive (the meaning) outgrowing traditional ties in large-scale integration process at the subregional or regional level.
Finally, integration involves purposeful activity of social groups, political parties, legislative and executive institutions intehrantiv countries on the development of the integration process is an essential prerequisite to the success of this process. In other words, the level of preparedness for public perceptions of a country, requirements and rules of play generated by the integration process, or may contribute to this process or hinder it. The practice of international economic integration gives many examples of the ambiguous perception of public opinion, some countries changes caused by integration processes.
The development of subregional and regional integration relations based on specific principles, which are subject of integration, integrating cooperation are mutually beneficial, constructive and get the optimal model.
Under the principle of sovereignty and noninterference in internal affairs of each country intehrant remains a full member of the international community, without losing the status of a subject of international politics, international law and international economic relations.
The principle of territorial integrity and ensures the preservation of the inviolability of national borders, although their role may gradually change through the liberalization of visa restrictions and customs in the direction of transition from state to territorial-administrative level.
On the basis of equality and mutual respect between countries intehrantamy formed as a partnership between the subjects of economic links. Eventually the whole system of such relations is based on the principle of organic unity and shared national interests as the basis of the structure of the integrated group.
The principal objective is also caused by voluntary regulation delegating certain functions of integration economic process suprastate institutional structures that are created within the integration group, especially at the higher stages of its development.
