Integration is the unification, rallying of any social structures within certain regions of the country or the world. Distinguish between political, economic, social and systemic integration, which can cover various spheres of human life at the national and supranational levels.

Step 1
Economic integration is defined as the interconnection of countries in the economic sphere, which leads to the pooling of markets, capital, labor and services. At the end, a single market space is formed with a single currency, financial and legal system, which is regulated in conjunction with politics.
Step 2
There are 5 forms of economic integration. The first type is the emergence of a free trade zone, within which restrictions on mutual trade are removed, but a certain autonomy of markets is preserved. Then a customs union is formed, which removes barriers to mutual trade. The third stage is the formation of a common market that promotes the free movement of capital, goods, services and persons who participate in this exchange. The fourth form is a monetary and economic union (the introduction of a unified social and economic policy, the introduction of a common currency). And finally, full integration takes place, in which a single space is formed and a common domestic and foreign policy is being observed.
Step 3
During political integration, two or more political structures converge, which direct their actions towards general and mutual cooperation. In a narrower sense, this is the formation of certain political systems at the state level. There is interstate political integration, or internationalization, which is observed after the collapse of socialism, which made it possible to create a multipolar system of the world. This allows different states to find their place in the community. And intrastate integration, which is observed at the level of individual subjects of the country.
Step 4
Social integration is the process of establishing any connections between independent objects in society (social classes, groups, individuals). In the future, these objects turn into a single system in which they are interconnected on the basis of common interests and aspirations.
Step 5
The concept of "system integration" is widely used in the field of computer science, defense industry and mass communications. A profit is obtained based on the added value of the customer, which is formed by combining some products and reducing their costs. A system integrator provides consulting services and can help set up software and hardware. System integration allows you to develop complex solutions that automate technological and business processes at the enterprise.
