MODERN DISINTEGRATION PROCESSES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Abstract

The main purpose of the article is to analyze the disintegration processes at the current
stage of European Union development and the consequences to which they can lead.
As a result of the study, it was found that the European Union is experiencing not the
best times today, and was described the challenges faced by the member states that have
an impact on the future of the integration process. The reasons for the emergence of disintegration tendencies were identified, the main of which are migration problems,
significant contributions of developed countries to the EU budget compared with the
small benefit for them, the activation of nationalist movements across the continent. It
is determined that a number of problems of a political, economic and ideological nature
create obstacles to the successful development of globalization processes in the
European space. It was found that the exit from the European Union of some major
economies such as Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, will result in significant
losses not only in the economies of the countries listed, but also in the macroeconomic
indicators of the association, and may lead to a change in the place and role of the Union
in the world economy and the prospects for its development.
