Abstract
Globalization has gained momentum in recent decades, making countries more interdependent. In response, countries have increasingly relied on regional pacts to integrate their national economies with those of their neighbors in order to enhance competitiveness in a competitive, globalizing world. The distinctiveness of global regions and subregions adds to the complexity and unpredictability of rising interdependence among countries. In essence, tugs and pulls at global, regional, and subregional levels make the impact of rising interdependence on countries uneven.
