Regional influence

Regional influence refers to the ability of a country or organization to shape or affect neighboring countries within a specific geographic area. This can occur through various means such as economic ties, cultural connections, political alliances, or military presence. Essentially, it means having the power to sway regional decisions, trends, or stability without necessarily controlling everything directly. A country with strong regional influence often plays a key role in regional affairs, helping shape the region’s development, security, and cooperation.
