This project synthesizes functional and economic theories of integration to analyze three cases: United States and Cuba, United States and Puerto Rico, and China and Taiwan. This project posits that the final determining factor for integration of two entities lies primarily with the economic conditions for the mass populous in the smaller entity. In a society, those who gain the most through interactions with another will support increased interactions with that entity, whereas those who do not gain or lose via these interactions do not support and oppose increased interactions. The tipping point in either direction is near half of the populous.
