Abstract: The first decades of the 21st century witnessed the intensification of the regionalisation and globalisation processes as well as the manifestation of an economic crisis without precedent. These specific conditions precipitated the trend towards a multi-polar world characterized by the coexistence and interaction of three type of particular players: nation states, regional and global type organisations with various degreees of integration. These actors are acting in view of providing solutions for food and energy problems as well as for reducing the development gaps between developed and developing countries. A conclusion of the paper is that there is a growing interest for regional integration in all developing areas of the globe: Africa, Asia, Latin America. Specific forms of integration processes are currently taking place in the ex-soviet space. A final concusion is that all these processes are more complementary in nature than conflicting.
