What is the trend of world integration?

From a practical point of view, Europe's lack of understanding and preparation for the epidemic has led to some unsatisfactory epidemic prevention measures, which has also been criticized by the EU. The fragmentation of EU member states in the response to the pandemic has led some to believe that the foundations of European integration have been shaken, or even that the EU will collapse or disintegrate as a result of the pandemic. But there are also those who believe that Europe was forged in the midst of a crisis, and that this crisis will provide a new opportunity for European integration.

In fact, from the perspective of the process and measures of Europe's response to the epidemic, differences and consensus, the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on European integration is not one-way, but multi-dimensional, with both negative and positive aspects. As the epidemic is still ongoing, a comprehensive analysis and assessment of these impacts remains to be seen, but the current situation shows that the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic on European integration has taken on a directional character to a certain extent. From the perspective of trend impact, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has put the concept and foundation of European integration to the test, and more clearly exposed the inherent contradictions and problems inherent in European integration.

At the same time, the crisis has had a profound impact on the external international order of European integration. How we respond to and deal with these problems and changes will directly determine the future direction of European integration.

The sudden crisis has undermined the basic logic of European integration, which will be corrected as a result.

The goal of European integration is to build an "ever-closer union", based on the belief that open cooperation and interdependence among European countries can bring peace and prosperity to Europe. Based on this, the basic logic of European integration is "more Europe", that is, the scope and degree of integration are constantly expanding. European integration has largely followed the above logic in the first 50 years, and has also achieved remarkable results.

However, in the 21st century, the cause of European integration has begun to encounter more and more challenges. In particular, since 2008, the situation facing European integration has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and it has experienced one crisis after another, which shows that European integration itself has major shortcomings. Although the EU has repeatedly been questioned by the question, the basic logic of integration has not been challenged, and the solution to each crisis is still "more Europe".

Global integration can be said to have originated in the late Middle Ages, that is, the period when the European powers carved up the world and carried out colonial rule over the whole world, but with the emergence of new powers, becoming stronger, and the relative weakening of the old powers, forcing the redistribution of world resources, one result is world war, and the other result is global negotiation and cooperation. Gradually form a world economy and resource development based on cooperation. This is now global integration.

1 Global integration refers to the development of a world economy in the direction of greater integration and interdependence. Global integration consists of two main parts: market integration and production globalization. 2 Pros and Cons of Global Integration:

Positive effects of global integration: Global integration can enable the effective and reasonable allocation of capital, technology, products, markets, resources and labor around the world. Global integration provides an opportunity for developing countries to meet both opportunities and challenges.

Economic globalization is undoubtedly a good opportunity for developing countries to introduce advanced technology, participate in international competition, and develop their own economies. Global integration provides people around the world with a good opportunity to choose high-quality goods and services at affordable prices. Global integration will promote the emergence and development of the world's great culture.

Global integration will facilitate the liberalization of investment and investment. Global integration has accelerated the process of technology transfer and industrial restructuring. Global integration can promote international political coordination.

Negative effects of global integration: Global integration has exacerbated the imbalances in the world economy and widened the gap between the rich and the poor. Global integration has increased the instability of the world economy.

Due to the rapid development of economic globalization, the destructive effect of the market has expanded; The existence of an irrational international economic order and the lack of financial and technological strength of developing countries have caused the gap between the rich and the poor to widen between the developing and developed countries in the process of economic globalization and development. The current rules governing the operation of the global economy are not reasonable, and most of them are in favor of developed countries. Global integration comes at a great cost to developing countries.

In the course of economic globalization, transnational corporations in some developed countries have not only made use of the cheap raw materials and labor of developing countries to earn high profits, but have also transferred to developing countries products that they are not allowed to produce and that are prone to environmental pollution. The impact of international economic risks on the economic development of developing countries has been further increased. Developing countries need to make great efforts to uphold the principle of equality and mutual benefit in competition, adopt corresponding economic policies, and promote the good and eliminate the bad.

Global integration will inevitably have a certain impact on national culture. This will lead to different cultural traits and prominence of various ethnic groups. This phenomenon is not conducive to the development of culture, and it is not in line with the principle of cultural evolution in which a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.

Economic globalization may also lead to the destruction of the ecological environment in developing countries.
