Journal Article
Defensive Integration and Late Developers: The Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab Maghreb Union
1999
Overview
IN THE LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY, THE WORLD ECONOMY IS EXPERIENCING A TREND TOWARD REGIONAL INTEGRATION OF NATIONAL ECONOMIES. IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD IN PARTICULAR, INTEGRATION CAN BE VIEWED AS A DIRECT POLICY RESPONSE TO MOUNTING PRESSURES FROM THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY AND THE ASCENDANCE OF NEOLIBERAL THINKING SINCE THE 1980S. THIS ESSAY FOCUSES ON THE UNDERLYING REASONS FOR THE FORMATION OF TWO COOPERATIVE ARRANGEMENTS AMONG LATE DEVELOPERS: THE GULF COOPERATION COUNCIL AND THE ARAB MAGHREB UNION. THE AUTHOR HOPES THAT EXAMINING THESE CASES WILL SHED LIGHT ON THE PRINCIPAL BASES OF THE TREND TOWARD REGIONALIZATION IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD. THE ARTICLE BEGINS WITH AN EXPLORATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REGIONALIZATION AND INTERNATIONALIZATION, DRAWING ON ANALYTICAL APPROACHES LINKING THE TWO PHENOMENA, AND REVIEWS SEVERAL THEORETICAL UNDERSTANDINGS OF REGIONAL INTEGRATION. IT CONCLUDES WITH A BRIEF DISCUSSION OF THE TWO CASES, ANALYZING THE REASONS FOR A SIMILAR OUTCOME IN TWO RELATIVELY DIFFERENT SETS OF COUNTRIES.
