Researchers from different fields have attempted to explain regional integration using different theories and analytical tools. These theories and analytical tools typically visualize the regional integration process from the perspective of a single discipline, usually economics but also...

Theories of regional integration typically analyze the regional integration process from the perspective of a single discipline, usually economics. However, such one-dimensional analytical frameworks cannot fully capture the richness and complexity of the inherently multi-dimensional regional...

This paper introduces an alternative indicator to evaluate the external sector behavior of a country or region. The objective of this indicator, titled “The External Sector Vulnerability Monitoring Index” (henceforth ESVM) (λ), is to offer policy-makers and researchers a new analytical tool...

This paper presents a new model of analysis to study the trend of regional integration from a multidimensional perspective. This new model is called the Global Dimension of Regional Integration Model (GDRI-Model). The rationale for the creation of this model is the necessity to study regional...

The research in this thesis is carried out based on two general observations: First, the lack of alternative regional integration (RI) and trade liberalization (TL) monitoring models. Second is a new regional integration scheme theoretical framework proposal to integrate middle and low income...

We evaluate the impact of Brexit on Asian economies using a new index - the TIFTEL-Index (The International Financial-Trade Exchange Leaking Index). The index is based on three main variables, namely (1) international trade exchange marginal rate (∆Τ'), (2) international financial exchange...
