| Summary/Abstract |
REGIONAL INTEGRATION has developed into an important factor of international relations. Today, practically all states on the map of the world belong to at least one regional association. In this context, the United States and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam offer the best example of an active involvement in the integration processes unfolding in the APR, the talks on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in particular. The region is increasingly often described as a locomotive of the world's economic development in the twenty-first century.
