Abstract

THE TWO INTEGRATIONS AND EAST-WEST ECONOMIC RELATIONS, by JACQUELINE PORTIER and CATHERINE SÉRANNE
The processes of integration in the two Europes are fundamentally different in nature. The two types of integration can coexist but they cannot merge because they belong to two different sorts of logic. The trend of economic relations between Eastern and Western Europe shows that each country is first and foremost part of a system and, as a result, always gives priority to the process of integration rather than to the process of East-West co-operation. This trend also underlines the persistent part played by the national factor at the present time.
