Integration interaction of regional economic associations actors: «soft» & «hard» mechanisms

Abstract

In recent years, attempts to extend protectionism policies to a wide area of international relations between developed and developing countries, including the largest economies in the world, have become increasingly noticeable. Along with the “currency wars”, this forms a new reality, the peculiarity of which is to increase the level of uncertainty of economic development. To reduce uncertainty, new (modernized) mechanisms for the integration interaction of actors are needed, especially within the framework of regional economic associations. Research in this area is particularly relevant in the first quarter of the 21st century.
