BibiographyIntroductionRegional integration is a process whereby boundaries between nation-states become less discontinuous, thus leading to the formation of more comprehensive systems
Economic integration consists in the linking up and merging of the industrial apparatus, administration and economic policies of participating countries, combining previously separated economies into larger arrangements
Therefore economic integration can be defined as the movement of several countries to enhance their mutual economic ties, leading to the growth of the overall economic activity, spanning national and regional boundaries
The process can be informal and does not necessarily require formal agreements
