Региональная экономическая интеграция в рамках ССАГПЗ за прошедший период последовательно прошла несколько традиционных этапов: сформирована зона свободной торговли, действует таможенный союз, заложены основы общего рынка. И хотя в практике интеграции содержатся определённые изъятия, страны нацелены на создание полного экономического союза до 2025 г. В настоящее время ССАГПЗ остается одним из наиболее успешных интеграционных объединений развивающихся стран и единственным реально действующим в арабском мире. Проведёенный автором анализ подтверждает, что в ССАГПЗ растёт доля внутрирегиональной торговли, хотя и менее высокая, чем у других интеграционных объединений, например, ЕС. Автор подчёркивает, что имеющиеся успехи ССАГПЗ на мировом рынке товаров и капиталов, привлечение значительных иностранных инвестиций и современных технологий, постепенная диверсификация национальных экономик во многом являются результатом углубления интеграционного процесса, взаимодействия в различных сферах и взаимной поддержки стран на мировом и региональном уровнях. Однако в ССАГПЗ, как регионе, остающемся одним из наиболее стратегически важных для мировой экономики, сохраняются противоречия и проблемы, которые активизируются под влиянием внутренних и, зачастую, внешних факторов, создавая кризисные ситуации. Одной из них стал «дипломатический кризис», начавшийся в 2017 г. и создающий ряд проблем в регионе и в арабском мире, оказывающий негативное влияние на интеграционные процессы.</p><p>На основе анализа статистических данных за 2009-2018 гг. автор обосновал вывод о том, что текущий «дипломатический кризис» наносит ущерб внутрирегиональной торговле, снижает динамику макроэкономических показателей, ухудшает положение стран ССАГПЗ на мировом рынке товаров и капиталов. Также он создаёт затруднения гражданам стран ССАГПЗ и компаниям, которые работают на этом рынке. Странам ССАГПЗ важно выработать механизм деэскалации кризиса, так как это соответствует экономическим и политическим интересам всех стран объединения и Ближнего Востока в целом, а также и мировой экономики.</p><p>Актуальность исследования обусловлена необходимостью изучения региональных экономических интеграционных процессов в субрегионе в контексте нарастающей глобальной нестабильности. Исследование вносит значительный вклад в понимание природы и особенностей интеграционных процессов в регионе БВСА.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article analyzes the integration process in the Gulf Cooperation Council group countries (GCC), which was founded in 1981. Regional economic integration in the GCC has passed through the several traditional stages: the Free trade zone, the Customs Union and the Common market. Certain exceptions remain in the GCC integration, but the countries aim to create a full economic Union by 2025. Currently, the GCC is one of the most advanced and successful integration associations in developing countries. However, the GCC is the only truly functioning integration bloc in the MENA region. The author's analysis confirms that the share of intraregional trade is growing in the GCC, but this share is less high than in other integration blocs. The author emphasizes that the GCC countries have significant success in the world market of goods and capital. The GCC trade turnover is growing steadily, although it depends on fluctuations in world oil prices. The GCC region attracts a lot of foreign investment and technology. This allows them to continue to diversify their national economies. The level and quality of life in the GCC is improving. These and other achievements are largely the result of regional economic integration and cooperation between countries in various areas on the world and regional markets. At the same time, the GCC is one of the most strategically important regions in the world economy and politics. Economic and political processes are influenced by many factors, both internal and external. Therefore, there are many contradictions in the GCC, and sometimes crisis situations are formed. One of them is the current "diplomatic crisis". It began in 2017 and has so far created numerous problems in the region and in the Arab world as a whole. It also has a negative impact on the development and deepening of integration processes. The author analyzed statistical data for 2009-2018 and justified the conclusion that the "diplomatic crisis" damages intraregional trade, reduces the dynamics of macroeconomic indicators, and worsens the position of the GCC countries in the world market of goods and capital. It also creates difficulties for citizens of GCC countries and companies that operate in the region. Now GCC countries should develop a mechanism to de-escalate the crisis, as this is in the economic and political interests of all participants and the Middle East as a whole. The relevance of the research is due to the need to analyze regional economic integration processes in the subregion in the context of growing global instability. The research makes a significant contribution to understanding the nature and features of integration processes in the Middle East.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>ССАГПЗ</kwd><kwd>Ближний Восток</kwd><kwd>региональная экономическая интеграция</kwd><kwd>интеграционное объединение</kwd><kwd>региональное торговое соглашение (РТС)</kwd><kwd>«дипломатический кризис»</kwd><kwd>внешняя торговля</kwd><kwd>внутрирегиональная торговля</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>GCC</kwd><kwd>Middle East</kwd><kwd>regional economic integration</kwd><kwd>integration Association</kwd><kwd>regional trade agreement (RTA)</kwd><kwd>"diplomatic crisis"</kwd><kwd>foreign trade</kwd><kwd>intraregional trade</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Al-Asaad H.K. 2009.
