Global regionalization is a process parallel to globalization, in which large regions are divided into smaller regions, areas, or districts.
A feature of the global community is the globalization of many processes and the development of international relations and interdependence of modern states in the second half of the 20th century. Globalization is evident not only globally, but also regionally. A component of international relations in the 21st century is regional development and cooperation. In this regard, the importance of the regional factors are significant to international relations. Most of the changes which are observed in today's world are associated with the development of the information sphere. There were predictable transformations that gave rise to the beginning of the entry of humanity into a global information society. There are five definitions of information society-related parameters identification of newness of the world which are technological, economic, concerning employment, and spatial or cultural nature. The significance of the information society in terms of its impact on the system are consisting of international relations. In 2000 G-8 Summit in Okinawa adopted a Charter on Global Information Society, which reflected the changes in world information. The same issues a lot of attention were paid to the Millennium Summit.
Regionalization as a trend of global development
The driving forces of regionalization are the state and non-governmental structures (the economic "interest groups", NGOs, political parties, etc.). World regionalism is qualified as one of the manifestations of globalization while also participating in the opposite trend. Many developing countries use regionalization as an attempt to confront global competition. In the context of globalization, acquires special relevance selective protectionism - gradual global economic integration, combining openness to the outside world with the protection of national interests. The following theoretical concepts reflect the processes of regionalism, which is a consequence of globalization. They can be as: Multipolar world theory, the theory of large spaces, the theory of convergence, and the regional joint doctrine. The study of regionalism analyzed the regionalization emerging in response to the challenges of globalization, and regionalization, such as institutional integration of the process of interpenetration merging national productions which combine the social and political institutional structure of the state. There are different forms and types of integration. They are characterized by the degree of freedom of movement within groups and factors of production. Currently, there are mentioned forms of regional economic integration such as free trade area (FTA); Customs Union (CU); single or common market (BP); Economic Union (EU); Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), and others.
Information society and international relations
Increased exposure to information changes on international relations caused several features of the information. The first feature - information not only decreases or disappears in its large-scale use but is the starting point for the formation of new species and new qualities. The second feature - information is a fundamental principle for the development and decision-making at all levels of government, including the level of global governance. Third - feature information is the "Oedipus effect", which is the ability to influence the mind and behavior of individuals and society in general. Developing of the global information society are influenced by the progress of new information and communication technologies (ICT) in conjunction with the globalization of markets, both within individual countries and internationally. As a result, the harmonious joining of the information society and respecting the necessary balance required coordinating efforts by the state as a body that can fully express the interests of society. Creating a global information society requires overcoming informational imbalances that exist in the world between different countries and regions, as well as information imbalances existing within themselves, for example, between different social groups. Because of these disparities, the task of building the information society acquires varying degrees of importance for different countries. Due to the intensification of information exchange and its interplay with economic imbalances interaction available information provided to the growing influence of politics, economics, and culture.
