The Process of the European Integration and the Area Structure of the German Economy

本研究的目的是探讨二战后西欧经济区域动态的反向向量，即：整合与解体。调查的结果如下：通过对欧盟（特别是Interreg）的区域政策和欧盟区域的运动的分析，现在可以更清晰地绘制出每个原始经济区的过渡带。2 .通过对一个Euregios， COMREGIO （Kommnale Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Grobeta-region SaarLorLuxRheinlandPfalz）的分析，阐明了Mosel-Saar原始经济区的存在性。3 .通过对参与建设多瑙河干线运河的莱茵-美因-多瑙股份公司（RMD,Munich）的商业历史分析，考察了莱茵河作为欧洲南北轴心、多瑙河作为欧洲东西轴心的地缘政治互动下欧洲一体化的一个新方面。对欧洲一体化过程中形成的各种领土和非领土经济空间进行了全面考察。此外，研究者还阐明了代表性跨国公司在上莱茵和下莱茵地区的区位战略。因此，“原始经济区”这一范畴在“经济区本身”的多维度中所处的位置已经明确。

The Purpose of this research is to investigate the reverse vectors of dynamics of the economic areas in Wesrten Europe after the World War II,i.e., integration and disintegration. The results of the investigation are as following :1.Through analysis of the regional policy of the EU (especially Interreg) and the movements of the Euregions the transitional belt of each Proto-Economic Area can be now drawn more crearly.2.Through analysis of an Euregios, COMREGIO (Kommnale Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Grobeta-region SaarLorLuxRheinlandPfalz), the existance of the Proto-Economic Area Mosel-Saar has been elucidated.3.Through business-historical analysis of Rhein-Main-Donau Aktiengesellschaft(RMD,Munich), which has been engaged in construction of the Main-Danube-Canal, a new aspect of the european integration under geopolitical interaction of the Rhine as the south-north axis and the Danube as the east-west axis of Europe has been examined.4.Various territorial and nonterritorial economic spaces, which have been put into shape in the process of the european integraion, have been totally examined. Further the investigator has thrown light upon location strategies of represetative multinational firms in the Upper and Lower Rhein regions. Consequently the position of the category "Proto-Economic Area" has been made clear within the multidimensionality of the Economic Area Proper.
