Political Economy of Regionalism

The Political Economy of Regionalism examines how political and economic factors interact within specific regions to influence cooperation and integration among countries. It looks at how shared interests, trade agreements, and political alliances shape the economic landscape. Regionalism can lead to benefits like increased trade and investment, but it also involves power dynamics, competition, and potential conflicts. By understanding these relationships, we can better grasp how regions work together or against each other in a globalized world, affecting everything from economic growth to security and governance.
