“…Unlike interregionalism, transregionalism (Aggarwal, 1998;Köllner, 2000;Rüland, 2002;Yeo, 2000) defines looser and less institutional interactions. Rather than explaining relations between regional organizations, transregionalism focuses on state and non-state actors together (Ribeiro-Hoffmann, 2016).…”

The politico-economically uneven structure, fragile inter-state affairs and weak regionalism of the Middle East make it difficult to explain its interactions with South Asia within a single theoretical pattern. Neither interregionalism nor multilateralism could illuminate these interactions individually. This study merges recently popularized interaction schemes of minilateralism and bilateralism on a transregional basis to provide an eclectic and flexible conceptual framework to explain the patterns of Middle East–South Asia inter-state affairs. It argues that regardless of its weak regionalism and intra-regional power games, the Middle East, with these trendy interaction schemes, could still develop effective inter-state relations with South Asia. The study utilizes the empirical analysis method to interpret various levels and types of interactions between actors of various capabilities. In addition, it also uses case studies to produce a deeper context-dependent knowledge of Middle Eastern – South Asian actors.

“…In this regard, APEC has an ambiguous record. The usage of such a mode of integration in APEC's early years to foster the opening up of markets in goods and services, Early Voluntary Sectoral Liberalization (EVSL), was a failure: vested interests in certain powerful states, e.g., Japan, mobilized to frustrate it (Beeson 2009), and in the absence of either regional institutions capable of enforcement, or participants' commitment to the general good, it withered on the vine (Aggarwal and Morrison 2000). On the other hand, APEC has since developed a different, explicit mechanism to take its members on a path of multi-speed integration, namely the Pathfinder Initiative.…”

Differentiated integration in the European Union: towards a comparative regionalism perspective

In this contribution I examine three regions outside Europe, all of which have used forms of differentiated integration as a means to solve otherwise intractable problems and/or export their policy preferences, ideals and bargains to key external actors. I argue that if we examine the European Union (EU) as one case of regional integration/regionalism among many, rather than a unique entity, we can develop a more nuanced view of differentiated integration in the EU which accepts it as an enduring, and possibly permanent, feature of the EU.

“…The mechanism is quite unique for a RIA in as much as the IAPs are voluntary agreements for unilateral MFN liberalization (i.e., not preferential) in trade and investment. The main criticisms have been that IAPs do not provide liberalization beyond WTO disciplines or already determined domestic liberalization schedules (Bergsten [1997]; Aggarwal and Morrison [1999]).…”

Regional Banks and Regionalism: A New Frontier for Development Financing

Castro,

The 1990s witnessed the parallel forces of globalization and regionalization strongly at work. While seemingly contradictory, they are in fact complementary aspects of market development. This paper will focus on the latter, and its special aspects of regionalism; i.e., policy driven regional cooperation. Particular attention will be given to the recent advances and challenges in two crucial aspects of regionalism: regional trade and financial cooperation. The other important area of concern of the paper is how regional development banks are supporting regional initiatives and identifying emerging issues which they should be preparing to deal with.
