Comparative studies of the trends in regional structures(2016_2_40_014)

Outline

South Asia is expected to become more regionally integrated in the next few decades. When we imagine a South Asia without borders, how is it different from the one during the British Colonial period when there was no border. This research project explores the shifting trends of regional structures with the partitioned regions under the current territories. The research results will offer a basis for considering future regional integration in the region. It will also seek possible comparable regions.
