Abstract: Abstract Regional integration is an attempt to realise mutual gains from cooperation within a group of self-motivated states in an anarchic international system. In order to attain successful regional cohesion, the states have to overcome collective action problems that are endemic to international cooperation. International relations (IR) theory has provided an explanation of how and under what conditions states have promoted cooperation to achieve the collective interests of the entire region.
