private sector development the development of infrastructure programmes in support of economic growth and regional integration the development of strong public sector institutions and good governance the reduction of social exclusion and the development of an inclusive civil society contribution to peace and security in the region the building of environment programmes at the regional level the strengthening of the region s interaction with other regions of the world 2 closer integration of neighbouring economies has often been seen by governments as a first step in creating a larger regional market for trade and investment this is claimed to spur greater efficiency productivity gain and competitiveness not just by lowering border barriers but by reducing other costs and risks of trade and investment bilateral and sub regional trading arrangements have been advocated by governments as economic development tools as they have been designed to promote economic deregulation such agreements have also aimed to reduce the risk of reversion towards protectionism locking in reforms already made and encouraging further structural adjustment regional integration federalism and separatism as forms of administrative division 5 it is also claimed that integration is not an end in itself but a process to support economic growth strategies greater social equality and democratization 6 however regional integration strategies as pursued by economic and national interests particularly in the last 30 years have also been highly contested across civil society there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that the strategies of economic deregulation or increased investor protection implemented as forms of regional integration have succeeded in contributing to progress in sustainable economic growth as the number of economic crises around the world has increased in frequency and intensity over the past decades as a result of the persisting contradiction between the old promises of regional integration and real world experience the demand from across global civil society for alternative forms of regional integration has grown 7 walter lippmann believes that the true constituent members of the international order of the future are communities of states citation needed e h carr shares lippmann s views about the rise of regionalism and regional arrangements and comments that the concept of sovereignty is likely to become in the future even more blurred and indistinct than it is at present 8 regional integration agreements edit regional integration agreements rias have led to major developments in international relations between and among many countries specifically increases in international trade and investment and in the formation of regional trading blocs as fundamental to the multi faceted process of globalization regional integration has been a major development in the international relations of recent years as such regional integration agreements has gained high importance not only are almost all the industrial nations part of such agreements but also a huge number of developing nations too are a part of at least one and in cases more than one such agreement the main objective of these agreements is to reduce trade barriers among those nations concerned but the structure may vary from one agreement to another the removal of the trade barriers or liberalization of many economies has had multiple impacts in some cases increasing gross domestic product gdp but also resulting in greater global inequality concentration of wealth and an increasing frequency and intensity of economic crises the number of agreements agreed under the rules of the gatt and the wto and signed in each year has dramatically increased since the 1990s there were 194 agreements ratified in 1999 and it contained 94 agreements form the early 1990s 9 the last few years have experienced huge qualitative as well as quantitative changes in the agreements related to the regional integration scheme the top three major changes were the following deep integration recognition closed regionalism to open model advent of trade blocs deep integration recognition edit deep integration recognition analyses the aspect that effective integration is a much broader aspect surpassing the idea that reducing tariffs quotas and barriers will provide effective solutions rather it recognizes the concept that additional barriers tend to segment the markets that impedes the free flow of goods and services along with ideas and investments hence it is now recognized that the current framework of traditional trade policies are not adequate enough to tackle these barriers such deep integration was first implemented in the single market program in the european union however in the light of the modern context that debate is being propounded into the clauses of different regional integration agreements arising out of increase in international trade 9 eu closed regionalism to open model edit the change from a system of closed regionalism to a more open model had arisen out of the fact that the section of trading blocs that were created among the developing countries during the 1960s and 1970s were based on certain specific models such as those of import substitution as well as regional agreements coupled with the prevalence generally high external trade barriers the positive aspects of such shifting is that there has been some restructuring of certain old agreements the agreements tend to be more forward in their outward approach as well as show commitment in trying to advance international trade and commerce instead to trying to put a cap on it by way of strict control 9 trade blocks edit the advent of trade blocks tend to draw in some parity between high income industrial countries and developing countries with a much lower income base in that they tend to serve as equal partners under such a system the concept of equal partners grew out of the concept of providing reinforcement to the economies to all the member countries the various countries then agree upon the fact that they will help economies to maintain the balance of trade between and prohibit the entry of other countries in their trade process an important example would be the north american free trade area formed in 1994 when the canada us free trade agreement was extended to mexico another vibrant example would entail as to how eu has formed linkages incorporating the transition economies of eastern europe through the europe agreements it has signed agreements with the majority of mediterranean countries by highly developing the eu turkey customs union and a mediterranean policy 9 vysegrád four is a group of states co operating in order to achieve higher economic results 10 recent regional integration edit regional integration in europe was consolidated in the treaty on the european union the maastricht treaty which came into force in november 1993 and established the european union the european free trade association is a free trade bloc of four countries iceland liechtenstein switzerland and norway which operates in parallel and is linked to the european union in january 1994 the north american free trade agreement was formed when mexico acceded to a prior existing bilateral free trade agreement between the us and canada in the pacific there was the asean free trade area afta in 1993 which looked into reducing the tariffs the afta started in full swing in 2000 alternative regional integration edit in the last decade regional integration has accelerated and deepened around the world in latin america and north america europe africa and asia with the formation of new alliances and trading blocks however critics of the forms this integration has taken have consistently pointed out that the forms of regional integration promoted have often been neoliberal in character in line with the motives and values of the world trade organization the international monetary fund and the world bank promoting financial deregulation the removal of barriers to capital and global corporations their owners and investors focusing on industrialisation boosting global trade volumes and increasing gdp this has been accompanied by a stark increase in global inequality growing environmental problems as a result of industrial development the displacement of formerly rural communities ever expanding urban slums rising unemployment and the dismantling of social and environmental protections global financial deregulation has also contributed to the increasing frequency and severity of economic crises while governments have increasingly lost the sovereignty to take action to protect and foster weakened economies as they are held to the rules of free trade implemented by the wto and imf advocates of alternative regional integration argue strongly that the solutions to global crises financial economic environmental climate energy health food social etc must involve regional solutions and regional integration since they transcend national borders and territories and require the cooperation of different peoples across geography however they propose alternatives to the dominant forms of neoliberal integration which attends primarily to the needs of transnational corporations and investors economist harvard professor former senior vice president and chief economist of the world bank joseph stiglitz has also argued strongly against neoliberal globalisation see neoliberalism stiglitz argues that the deregulation free trade and social spending cuts or austerity policies of neoliberal economics have actually created and worsened global crises in his 2002 book globalization and its discontents he explains how the industrialized economies of the us europe japan south korea and taiwan developed not with the neoliberal policies promoted in developing countries and the global south by the wto imf and world bank but rather with a careful mix of protection regulation social support and intervention from national governments in the market the people s agenda for alternative regionalisms edit the people s agenda for alternative regionalisms 11 is a network of civil society social movement and community based organisations from around the world calling for alternative forms of regional integration paar strives to promote cross fertilisation of experiences on regional alternatives among social movements and civil society organisations from asia africa south america and europe further i t aims to contribute to the understanding of alternative regional integration as a key strategy to struggle against neoliberal globalisation and to broaden the base among key social actors for political debate and action around regional integration and is thus committed to expanding and deepening global democracy paar aims to build trans regional processes to develop the concept of people s integration articulate the development of new analyses and insights on key regional issues expose the problems of neoliberal regional integration and the limits of the export led integration model share and develop joint tactics and strategies for critical engagement with regional integration processes as well as the development of people s alternatives it draws on and extends the work of such southern african people s solidarity network sapsn southern africa the paar initiative aims to develop these networks and support their efforts to reclaim democracy in the regions recreate processes of regional integration and advance people centred regional alternatives in the video global crises regional solutions the network argues that regional integration and cooperation is essential for tackling the many dimensions of the current global crises and that no country can face these crises alone the video also calls for countries to break their dependency on the global markets as well as the dominant development model that has failed to address increasing global hunger poverty and environmental destruction resulting instead in greater inequality and social unrest regional integration the video argues should be much more than macro economic cooperation between states and corporations it should protect shared ecological resources and should promote human
