Abstract
Regional integration has been an important concept in the process of restructuring in Western Europe since the Second World War, and is undoubtedly also the most important framework in the ongoing process of restructuring and reintegration of the East and Central European nations. The point of departure for the analysis in this chapter is that these old concepts of regional integration can provide useful guidelines for this policy, although the nature of the problem is significantly different.
