regional affiliations

Regional affiliations refer to the formal or informal connections and memberships that organizations, nations, or groups have with specific geographic areas. These affiliations often involve collaboration, shared resources, policy coordination, or cultural ties within a defined region. Examples include economic unions like the European Union, regional trade agreements, or alliances among neighboring countries for security. Such affiliations help members address common challenges, promote development, or strengthen regional identity, facilitating cooperation while respecting local and cultural differences.
