Abstract

This article provides an in-depth analysis of integration processes and regional cooperation, emphasizing their political and economic dimensions in the context of globalization. The study highlights that regional integration is not only a mechanism for trade liberalization and economic growth but also a strategic tool for strengthening political stability, collective security, and global governance. By examining theoretical foundations and practical experiences of integration in regions such as the European Union, ASEAN, and MERCOSUR, the article identifies key factors that contribute to successful cooperation, including political commitment, institutional capacity, and economic interdependence. The discussion reveals that integration fosters market expansion, competitiveness, industrial modernization, and collective bargaining power for member states, while also contributing to the formation of a multipolar world order. Ultimately, regional cooperation is portrayed as a multidimensional process that enhances sustainable development, strengthens political dialogue, and increases the global influence of participating countries.
