Yet, in order to assess how aspects of the international system impede or enable it, we must define it. I characterize global integration as a social, economic, cultural and political \u201cprocess of increasing interconnectedness\u201d (Smith, Baylis, & Owens 17) expressed historically and empowered conceptually by a \u201cdense network of international flows of goods, services, capital, information, ideas and people\u201d (Spero & Hart 453). Regimes, institutions, states, regions and transnational issues have specific effects upon the international economic system. <\/p>\n
The purpose of this paper will be to detail the positive and negative effects of these important system variables. In doing so, I will make the case that global integration is increasing, irreversible in nature, and leading to a higher level of instability requiring enhanced international cooperation best expressed in an increased advisory role for international regimes and institutions as opposed to an increased authoritative and governance role.<\/p>\n
