If both benefit the most in cooperating, as is the case in the prisoner’s dilemma, they will both cooperate, and peace will be maintained . This basic liberal assumption of the importance of individual gains is the main support for European integration.

Another noteworthy finding is that some studies also showed that integration results in higher expenditures which are contrary to what is touted as a benefit of integration, i.e. more efficient care and a reduction of unnecessary or duplicative testing. Quality & Patient Satisfaction: The literature also demonstrates that vertical integration does not lead to improvements in the

economic integration? As you already studied that the level of its integration can vary from loose association to almost complete ones. Discuss these different levels of economic integration with examples for each of the stages. 1st Answer: The term "integration" itself in the economic area first appeared in the context of an industry organization in either vertical or horizontal.
