Question
How does geographical proximity influence the formation of regional organisations ?
Solution
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 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.
3. There was no informal cooperation and interaction. Thus, ASEAN was established by the South East Asian countries.
4. Similarly the effects of the Second World War brought the West European states closer to each other. Marshall Plan, OEEC, Council of Europe, European Economic Community, European Parliament and ultimately European Union were various steps in this direction.
5. 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.
