| Annotation | This article is devoted to the research of peculiarities of European economic integration. The main feature of European integration theories is that they follow quick real-life processes, not percontra. Neofunctional and Inter-Parliamentary theories are observed. Special attention is paid to the B. Balassa’s theory of stages. Under this theory economic integration has several stages: free trade zone, custom union, common market, economic union and complete economic integration. It is stated that after signing the Association Agreement Ukraine will be on the first stage of economic integration — level of free trade zone. |
