FY 2016/2017 Research Topic: C-07
Comparative Studies of Trends in Regional Structures

Outline

South Asia is expected to regionally integrate further over the next several decades. When we imagine a South Asia without borders, how will it differ from the one during British India where there were no borders? This research project explores the shifting trends in regional structures with the partitioned regions by the current territories and by interaction between neighbouring regions. The research results will offer a basis for considering future regional integration in the region. It also seeks possible comparable regions.
