The principles of the theory of economic integration are briefly outlined, including its forms and their practical implementation. The author discusses the regulation of integration agreements within the framework of the GATT - WTO multilateral trade system. The motives for the participation of states in integration agreements, such as strategic, political and economic ones, as well as participation of the country in global and / or regional value of chains, are examined in detail. The author characterizes the main trends of modern regionalism and well-known integration mega-projects, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. The main results of the study, which the author came to: 1) regionalism is a politics, and regionalization is the process of uniting countries into a larger region with elements of the free movement of certain factors; 2) old regionalism reflected the goals of promoting the growth of international trade and ensuring security. It corresponds to the concept of “shadow” integration; 3) the new regionalism was the result of an integrated approach to the development of globalization and a multipolar world. It is characterized by the concept of “deep” integration with deeper integration processes; 4) when signing the RTAs, the country takes into account strategic, political and economic factors; 5) integration agreements vary in scope and structure, reflecting the growing differentiation of the global trading system and the diversity of bilateral and multilateral regional trade agreements; 6) the signing of mega-projects reduces the effect of “spaghetti bowl” due to a decrease in the number of bilateral integration agreements between countries and the development of general rules of trade, and also simplifies international commercial disputes; there is a gradual unification of not only the rules of law, but also their interpretation and application.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье определены сущность, история развития и дана оценка современного этапа регионализма. Кратко изложены основы теории экономической интеграции, включая ее формы и их практическую реализацию. Представлены нормы регулирования интеграционных соглашений в рамках многосторонней системы торговли ГАТТ - ВТО. Проанализированы стратегические, политические и экономические мотивы участия стран в интеграционных соглашениях. Главный мотив в настоящее время - активизация участия в глобальных и/или региональных цепочках поставок. Автор рассматривает основные разделы региональных торговых соглашений (РТС), как распространенных в мировой практике, так и характерных для практики отдельных стран, например, США, Китая и Японии. Дана характеристика основных тенденций современного регионализма и двух мегапроектов - Транстихоокеанского партнерства (ТТП) и Регионального всеобъемлющего экономического партнерства (РВЭП). Основные результаты исследования, к которым пришел автор: 1) регионализм - политика, а регионализация - процесс объединения стран в более крупный регион с элементами свободного перемещения тех или иных факторов, то есть развитие интеграционных процессов; 2) старый регионализм отражал цели содействия росту международной торговли и обеспечению безопасности. Ему соответствует понятие «начальной», или «теневой», интеграции. В его рамках получил распространение так называемый закрытый регионализм, который отличался относительно высоким уровнем протекционизма; 3) новый регионализм, представляющий собой открытый, более либеральный регионализм, стал результатом комплексного подхода к развитию глобализации и многополярного мира. Для него характерно понятие «глубокой» интеграции с более глубокими интеграционными процессами; 4) при подписании РТС страна учитывает стратегические, политические и экономические факторы; 5) интеграционные соглашения различаются по степени охвата и структуре, что отражает растущую дифференциацию глобальной торговой системы и разнообразие двусторонних и многосторонних региональных торговых соглашений; 6) подписание мегапроектов сокращает эффект «спагетти» благодаря уменьшению количества двусторонних интеграционных соглашений между странами и выработке общих правил торговли, а также ведет к разработке и применению универсальных норм права регулирования торговли (и не только) и соответственно к замене коллизионных норм. Сказанное упрощает международные коммерческие споры, происходит постепенная унификация не только норм права, но и их толкования и применения.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>regionalism</kwd><kwd>old regionalism</kwd><kwd>new regionalism</kwd><kwd>open regionalism</kwd><kwd>Transpacific Partnership</kwd><kwd>Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership</kwd><kwd>RCEP</kwd><kwd>African continental free trade area</kwd><kwd>shallow integration</kwd><kwd>deep integration</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>регионализм</kwd><kwd>старый регионализм</kwd><kwd>новый регионализм</kwd><kwd>закрытый регионализм</kwd><kwd>открытый регионализм</kwd><kwd>Транстихоокеанское партнерство</kwd><kwd>Региональное всеобъемлющее экономическое партнерство</kwd><kwd>Африканская континентальная зона свободной торговли</kwd><kwd>начальная интеграция</kwd><kwd>глубокая интеграция</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Baier, S., Bergstrand, J. &amp; Egger, P.
