THE IMPACT OF ECONOMİC DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES ON REGİONAL STABİLİTY

One of the main directions of modern international relations is economic integration in the context of globalization. Regional integration serves as an important mechanism for both economic and political stability. The joint activities of various states within the framework of economic cooperation not only strengthen collaboration in trade, investment, transport, and energy sectors but also contribute to ensuring regional security. Economic integration is the process of coordinating economic policies and deepening cooperation among states. Its main forms include free trade zones, customs unions, common markets, economic unions, and full integration.
