    “International Relations” and “Integration Process in the Global Economy”


    Title of the Article

    1. Difficult Concepts (What concepts did you find difficult to understand?)


    i. Common Market
    ii. Two-speed Integration Process
    iii. Cognitive Interaction

    2. Insights (What new insights or learning did you gain in discussion/ activity?)

    i. Before reading the article, I thought that the three integration grouping that
    were analyzed in the article do not encounter problems when it comes with
    integration processes. However, reading the article, I now realize that all of
    them despite being well-established, encounter problems as well. The EU’s
    problem are the two-speed integration process and the serious negative
    consequences of the global financial crisis for the socio-economic cohesion
    of the EU-28. The conflict between political will for deepening integration
    among member states and the real economic possibility of achieving higher
    stages of integration seems to be the problem of ASEAN. On the other hand,
    members of the NAFTA don’t give importance in integration processes and
    they differ in terms with their development level.

    ii. Before reading the article, I thought that countries can all the way to start the
    process of integration without any other conditions. However, reading the
    article, I now realize that there are pre-conditions needed to be kept in mind
    of countries who would start this process. One major pre-condition is that a
    country must possess the fundamentals of their economy, must be
    competitive, and has the ability to stand up to consequences of restructuring
    processes.

    iii. Before reading the article, I thought that free trade is just some sort of trading
    goods with other countries without any tariffs that puts the two countries
    involved in a win-win situation. However, reading the article, I now realize that
    free trade can also affect a country negatively. The NAFTA is an integration
    group composed of three countries along with a developing economy. The
    global crisis which is a flaw of free trade affect the foreign trade and the
    investment flows of the NAFTA.

    iv. Before reading the article, I thought that international institutions don’t have
    much to do with the improvements and developments of other international
    institutions. However, reading the article, I now realize that international
    institutions that interacts with each other can both benefit at the same time.
    As well, one international institution can greatly influence the development
    and the performance of another international institution.

    v. Before reading the article, I thought that behavioral interaction doesn’t help
    much on the interaction of international institutions. However, reading the
    article, I now realize that behavioral interaction is one of the types of causal
    mechanism. It is located at the final output level and hugely influences a
    target institution. In addition to this, behavioral interaction does not depend
    on a collective decision within the target institution.

    3. Questions (What questions would you want answers for? Or vague areas you
    want more explanations about?
    i. I want to have more explanation on the reasons why the three integration
    groups that were analyzed encounter such problems.
    ii. How can I deeply study the causal relationships between international
    institutions involved in interaction?
    iii. Is there a possibility that an international institution can negatively affect
    its target institution?
