GLOBALIZATION AND INTERREGIONALISM

摘要

GLOBALIZATION REPRESENTS A PROCESS THAT HAS EXTENDED AT A PLANETARY LEVEL IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. EACH STATE`S ECONOMY HAS BECOME MORE AND MORE OPEN TO RECIEVE THE NEW PRODUCT SERIES AND THE GIANT GROUPS ARE HAVING THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON THE MARKET. THUS, GLOBALIZATION IS A SET OF PHENOMENA THAT OCCUR AND IT CAN BE SAID THAT THIS PHENOMENA HAS MANY FACES. THE AIM OF THE STUDY IS TO PRESENT THE EFFECTS THAT GLOBALIZATION HAS HAD OVER THE STATES WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION. INTERREGIONALISM, SEEN AS A PROCESS OF INTERACTION OR COLLABORATION BETWEEN TWO REGIONS , IS SUPPOSED TO DETERMINE THE EUROPEAN UNION`S FOREIGN POLICY TO ACT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTIONS , BUT INTERREGIONALISM IS OFTEN HAVING A BAD INFLUENCE OVER THE EXTERNAL POLICY.
