Integration vs. Disintegration under Globalization Tokyo Conference: Aoyama Gakuin University, Science Council of Japan, Kyoto Conference: Kyoto University March 16-17, and March 19. 2020 (Postponed by corona virus in 2020) Introduction/ Gist of this book and Gratitude Kumiko HABA The world is currently at a turning point. The 20th century was a century of world wars. Two world wars occurred, and the Cold War ruled the world after the two world wars. Amidst the post-war devastation, the European Community and European Union was formed in Europe; Europe has created peaceful governance by building economic collaboration, security institutions and establishing the rule of law. In Asia, ASEAN also pursued regional governance after WWII; however, in East Asia, the Divide and Rule Policy was introduced and it brought Cold War system, continuing until the contemporary period. Even in the early 21st century, there are many new Nationalisms in the contemporary world. Populism and xenophobia are spreading in Europe. There is a wave of rapid economic growth in rising countries, especially in China and India. Destabilization in search of democratization is spreading simultaneously in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. In this book, based on the three wars in the 20th century (WWI, WWII, Cold War), we examine what kind of regional institutionalization and regional governance have been built up in an attempt to avoid endless war and conflicts. We will examine and consider what kind of order is needed to stabilize the conflict regions among both Europe and Asia. The themes of both the Tokyo Conference and Kyoto Conference are to investigate and clarify how the countries that experienced the World Wars have considered regional coexistence in each period and each region and how to establish peace, stability and prosperity under institutions and rule of law. We need to investigate cautiously the 1 integration and disintegration under globalization. Disintegration and Mutual distrust have serious consequences in the world. Because of the spread of corona virus, we had to postpone of this important conference, but this corona virus pandemic is also a big international political and economic issue. We would like to investigate this situation calmly and objectively, and we must not panic, becoming nationalistic and skeptical against others through this issue; we need mutual understanding, not to fear and attack other peoples. We need to carefully watch people, media, government, and companies to understand how to behave during these important turning points, and not bring these phenomena to conflicts and wars. We deeply appreciate all participants, Keynote speakers, Dr. David M. Malone, Glen S. Fukushima, Yoichi Kibata, and Jin Du, and all presenters, chairs and commentators. Because of the sudden corona virus spread from January to March in 2020, we could not hold the important and large conferences in Tokyo: at Aoyama Gakuin University and SCJ (Science Council of Japan) and in Kyoto: at Kyoto University, but all participants, chairs, and commentators sincerely and kindly joined us, supported our conferences, wrote and sent us their interesting papers, although the time was very limited. We sincerely appreciate all kind of collaboration of the staff of Aoyama Gakuin University, the Science Council of Japan, and Kyoto University. We feel the greatest gratitude and appreciation for all of them. Thank you very much indeed. We profoundly appreciate especially Professor Satoshi Mizobata, Director of Economic Institute, Kyoto University, and CHIR (Committee for History of International Relations) Ex. Com. Members, especially Professor Alfredo Canavero, Giulia Lami, Dumitru Preda, Miguel Ángel Vecino, as well as the other members. Thank you very much, indeed, for joining and supporting our conferences and sending us papers. Last, but not least, we appreciate Dr. Shixin Du, Mr. Nicholas Crenshaw, and Associate Professor Jun-ichi Shibuya; without their help, we could not publish this Proceeding Book so quickly and tidily. Thank you very much, indeed. All of you, thank you very much! 2 Keynote Speech 100 years of World Wars and Post-war Regional Collaboration and Global Governance --Who constructs New World Orders?— The UN’s Role within the Wider System of International Organizations Dr. David M.

  • Bangladesh-Bhutan-India-Nepal (BBIN)
    MARCH 2016 ISSUE NO. 135 Intra-BBIN Trade: Opportunities and Challenges PARTHAPRATIM PAL ABSTRACT The Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal (BBIN) sub-regional initiative is envisioned to improve economic cooperation and connectivity among the four South Asian countries. For India, this initiative allows it to bypass some of the more complex political issues of SAARC and engage in direct discussions on connectivity with Bhutan, Bangladesh and Nepal. This initiative is expected to help the landlocked developing countries of this region to integrate more effectively with the global economy. But there may be certain challenges, too. India has been a dominant member of SAARC; without Pakistan and Sri Lanka, India's dominance in BBIN will be even more pronounced. It is also important to keep in mind that political objectives and policy priorities of BBIN countries might not always align perfectly. The long-term success of BBIN will depend on how well these concerns are managed within the framework. INTRODUCTION Although countries of South Asia are tied by To begin with, these countries trade very little shared history and culture, they are still not well among themselves. In spite of having an connected with each other and integration overarching regional free trade agreement in the remains one of the poorest in the world. The form of the South Asian Free Trade Agreement Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal (BBIN) sub- (SAFTA) signed in 2004, and various other regional initiative is envisioned to improve bilateral and regional trade agreements forged economic cooperation and connectivity among since then, intra-regional trade among South these four South Asian countries.

  • Brigadier General Quazi Shamsul Islam, Ndc, Psc Introduction
    SUB REGIONAL COOPERATION WITHIN SAARC COUNTRIES FOR SUSTAINABLE PEACE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Brigadier General Quazi Shamsul Islam, ndc, psc Introduction Cooperative association between the states is a 19th century phenomenon. It is usually an effort of few geographically contiguous states, having interdependent potentials for security, mutual development and prosperity. In the international language it is commonly known as Regionalism or Sub Regionalism. UN, NATO, Warsaw Pact, African Union are the examples of international association of security needs whereas, European Union (EU), Association of South East Asian Countries (ASEAN), Greater Mekong Sub region (GMS) etc. are the center of economic excellence. In South Asia (SA), South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) is the youngest association which was dreamt for the well being of the people of this region, but yet we haven’t seen any considerable progress. Reasons of failure are nothing but the lack of ideological parity among its member states which is a core need for regionalism. Usually the term ‘Region’ and ‘Sub Region’ refers to the continental and sub-continental context. In this study, SA as a whole will be termed as “Region” and any other smaller groupings will be termed as “Sub Region”. If we look at Asia, no much of regionalism was seen in SA in contrast to the East and Southeast Asia and it was obviously for historical perspective. Most of the Asian states that attained their independence from colonial rule between 1947- 50, and they were deeply committed to matters of self sovereignty and territorial integrity instead of peace, development and developing bilateral relations.

  • Sub-Regional Cooperation in South Asia: Issues, Challenges and Policy Implications
    BIISS JOURNAL, VOL. 40, NO. 3, JULY 2019: 291-310 Saddam Hosen SUB-REGIONAL COOPERATION IN SOUTH ASIA: ISSUES, CHALLENGES AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS Abstract Sub-regional cooperation is a nascent phenomenon in South Asia. Significant sub-regional cooperation frameworks in South Asia include the South Asia Sub- regional Economic Cooperation (SASEC), the Bay of Bengal Initive for Multi- Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC), the South Asian Growth Quadrangle (SAGQ) initiative and the Bangladesh, Bhutan, Inida, Nepal (BBIN) initiative. The objective of sub-regional cooperation is to ensure proper institutional mechanism in order to boost the quality of development particularly in sectors such as economic and connectivity among the member countries. The current trend of sub-regional cooperation proves that state’s political will and efforts have increased regarding sub-regional cooperation in South Asia. Although, most of the goals and targets remain on paper as they are facing crucial challenges such as bilateral disputes, leadership crisis, lack of good governance, implementation problem, etc. Given this context, the paper will investigate two key questions. First, why sub-regional process of cooperation has not been effective in South Asia? Second, what are the factors that can boost the sustainability of sub-regional cooperation in South Asia and how? The paper advocates that the member states of sub-regional groups should act as soon as possible to implement the plans, programmes and activities that they have adopted and undertake concerted efforts toward sustainable solution. Keywords: Sub-regionalism, BIMSTEC, BBIN, SAGQ, SASEC 1. Introduction Sub-regional cooperation is a new phenomenon in international relations.

Approved by: May 2016 Ken E Gause, Director International Affairs Group Center for Strategic Studies Copyright © 2016 CNA Abstract The Brahmaputra River originates in China and runs through India and Bangladesh. China and India have fought a war over contested territory through which the river flows, and Bangladesh faces human security pressures in this basin that will be magnified by upstream river practices. Controversial dam-building activities and water diversion plans could threaten regional stability; yet, no bilateral or multilateral water management accord exists in the Brahmaputra basin. This project, sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation, provides greater understanding of the equities and drivers fueling water insecurity in the Brahmaputra River basin. After conducting research in Dhaka, New Delhi, and Beijing, CNA offers recommendations for key stakeholders to consider at the subnational, bilateral, and multilateral levels to increase cooperation in the basin. These findings lay the foundation for policymakers in China, India, and Bangladesh to discuss steps that help manage and resolve Brahmaputra resource competition, thereby strengthening regional security.

The two day dialogue witnessed participation from a cross-section of government representatives, private players, multi-lateral agencies, academia, think-tanks and media of all the five member countries viz. Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal and Myanmar. The first day of the deliberations stressed on the importance of connectivity in the BBIN region and what roles can multilateral agencies and international allies including USA and UK play in this regard. The major observations of the first day of deliberations include The gains from regional connectivity emanating from connectivity initiatives should be inclusive of the women and other marginal vulnerable communities in the region. The outcome of the BBIN+M initiative is expected to contribute in identifying value chains in the region and help in more enhanced trade facilitation. Such connectivity initiatives should be based on the region’s commitment to international laws and a rule-based system for trade and connectivity. The deliberations on the second day were based on a detailed study undertaken by CUTS International on the issue of connectivity in the Bay of Bengal region. Some of the key observations that came out of the discussions include A. Impact of connectivity initiatives on livelihood and gender Any connectivity initiative in the region would have different impacts on livelihoods of different groups of stakeholders due to heterogeneity in their nature.

  • Will the Smaller Countries Play a Role in Reviving SAARC?
    12 17 October 2019 The South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation: Will the Smaller Countries Play a Role in Reviving SAARC? Tridivesh Singh Maini FDI Visiting Fellow and Mahitha Lingala Key Points Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has highlighted the need for greater co-operation and a collective strategy towards fighting poverty in South Asia. In recent years, India, which has accused Pakistan of being an obstructionist force in the South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation (SAARC), has placed a greater focus on such arrangements as the Bangladesh-Bhutan-India-Nepal (BBIN) initiative and the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral and Economic Co-operation (BIMSTEC). Nepal has been pushing for the revival of the SAARC process. Pakistan, too, has been urging SAARC members (other than India), to play a role in rejuvenating the grouping. India, however, is likely to oppose the revival of SAARC, at least in the near future. Nepal (nudged by Beijing), Sri Lanka and, to some extent, Bangladesh, will favour its revival. Summary While speaking at the Indian Economic Summit recently in New Delhi, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina called for closer co-operation in South Asia and emphasised the dire need for a collective strategy to counter the scourge of poverty that afflicts the region. Hasina argued that greater connectivity would pave the way for greater co-operation in South Asia. She also pointed to the fact that a number of proposed initiatives have not eventuated due to political differences between South Asian countries. The Bangladeshi PM was clearly referring to SAARC, which has failed to promote regional connectivity, and to the fact that intra-regional trade is estimated at a paltry five per cent.
