Abstract

The aim of the paper is to revise some widespread views on international economic integration with focus on successive enlargements of the EU. Authors propose to clearly distinguish between the terms globalization, integration, and cohesion. Globalization, integration, and cohesion are considered as three different aspects of modern economic development which do not necessarily go hand in hand. Although EU membership has been turned into a political dogma in the East European countries, it is argued in the article that enlargement of the EU is nowadays pushed ahead too hasty and beyond economic rationality—both in terms of spatial expansion and strengthening of internal unification. Research methodology is based on economic theory, study of economic literature, analysis of statistical data, and author’s own calculations.
