Abstract
With the globalization of economic activity bringing about the expansion of markets and deepening of economic interdependency beyond state borders, a new political challenge arises: how to integrate effectively the interdependent economies into a harmonious unity through the creation of new super-state institutions? This is the theme of globalization and integration that has repeatedly arisen throughout the history of civilization.
