Abstract: The political aspects and the economic aspects of regional integration were, for long, studied separately by two disciplines. This two-fold approach masked the interactions between the economic factors (and motives) and the political factors (and motives). An historical examination shows that 1) the theory of regional integration constantly oscillates between the elaboration and the assessment of economic integrations and the elaboration and the assessment of political integrations 2) these oscillations reflect and amplify the constant use of projects of political integration by economic agents and the constant use of projects of economic integration by political agents 3) if we take the example of a long historical period, we can see three periods succeeding each other : a political period of blocks ; an economic period after the end of the cold war ; a period of the rise in the anxieties about security.
