How does geographical proximity influence the formation of regional organisations?



Answer -

The geographical proximity influences the formation of regional organisations because:

  1.  The countries of a region face similar problems. For example, before and after the Second World War, the South East Asian countries suffered the economic and political consequences of repeated colonialisms, both European and Japanese.
  2. There was no informal cooperation and interaction. Thus, ASEAN was established by South East Asian countries.
  3. There were common problems of nation-building, the ravages of poverty, economic backwardness and the pressure to join one bloc or the other during the Cold War.
  4. If the European Union has succeeded in creation of the European Parliament or to have a common currency i.e., Euro, it is due to their geographical proximity.
