REGIONALIZATION

• The process of dividing an area into smaller

segments called regions.
• Division of a nation into states or provinces.
• In the economic context, regionalization is a
management tool
REGIONAL INTEGRATION
is the process by which two or more nation-
states agree to co-operate and work closely
together to achieve peace, stability and wealth.
The entire world is moving towards integration,
it is inevitable. In Asia, the Southeast Asian
countries have already formed ASEAN
(ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHEAST ASIAN
NATIONS. This regional power block appears
to work fine, the member states fit very well
together because of the following factors:
Why do countries form regional associations?

Military Defense

the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was

formed to protect Europe from the threat of the Soviet
Union; and as a response, the Soviet Union created the
Warsaw Pact.
WARSAW PACT

• Founded in 1955

Member Countries are:

• Russian Government and the Eastern
Europe
Why do countries form regional associations?

Economic Crisis

The ASEAN countries along with China, Japan, and

South Korea established an emergency fund that
stabilized Asian economies after the rippling effect of
the Thai economy’s collapse.
Why do countries form regional associations?

Protection of Independence

The countries under the Non-Alignment Movement

(NAM) refused to side with the capitalists (Western
Europe & North America) or the communists (Eastern
Europe).
Why do countries form regional associations?

Resources Countries

The need to pool their resources together to make

themselves more powerful. The Organization of the
Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) rose in power
when they took over domestic production and
controlled crude oil prices across the globe.
 There are many
factors that are
leading the Asian
Region into
greater
integration
1. Integration has been market-
driven. Within Asia, there are a
variety of systems, institutions,
procedures, social relations, and
infrastructures that are put in a
place for countries to engage in
exchange.
 2. formal institutions such as
the Asian Development Bank
(ADB) were established.
Conceived in 1960s, ADB
promotes social and economic
development in Asia.
 3. Economic grants and
overseas development
assistance are made available
by better Asian economies. For
example, the Japanese
International Cooperation
Agency (JICA) aims to work on
human security and quality
growth.
4. production networks have
expanded. Economies are
mainly on comparative
advantage through regional
division of labor.
5. Cooperation among the ASEAN and
East Asian countries ensued the ASEAN
+ 3 Financial Minister’s Process that
established two economic structures –
the Chiang Mai Initiative and the Asian
Bond Markets Initiative. The process
aims to strengthen policy dialogue,
coordination, and collaboration on
common financial, monetary, and fiscal
issues.
CHALLENGES TO REGIONALISM
Resurgence of militant nationalism and
populism

• this involves the conflict between the NATO,

the United States, and Vladimir Putin’s Anti-
NATO movement.
Continuing financial crisis

• The continuing crisis in the European

Region continues to lead the United Kingdom into
exiting the European Union.
Conflict between sovereignty and regional
stability
• The Philippines had a difficulty in letting some
countries support its condemnation of China’s
occupation of the West Philippine Sea because
China had given great investments and
economic aid to these countries.
Differing visions of regionalism

• Developed countries like the US may only see

regionalism as a tool for political
democratization, but developing countries see
regionalism as an obstacle to economic
globalization because public inquiry slows
down its implementations.
GLOBALIZATION
• The expansion and intensification of social relations and
consciousness across world-space and world-time.
