“…Another measure is the growth in the degree of macroeconomic interdependence of member countries, which is considered "real" or "de facto" integration (De Lombaerde and Van Langenhove (2005)). Interdependence evolves not only from a rise in the quantum of intra-regional trade but also stems from the "evolution of regionness", which emanates from various measures.…”

“…These comprise institutional improvements, which are introduced in steps from time to time as well as from coordination mechanisms, including annual summits at the highest level and periodical meetings of committees of officials for monitoring the process of regional integration. According to Hettne (1999) and Hettne and Söderbaum (2000), regionness is a central concept in the new regionalism approach towards interdependence, which can be assessed on different dimensions: economic, political, cultural, security, and infrastructural (De Lombaerde and Van Langenhove 2005).…”

The South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation (SAARC) marked its Silver Jubilee in 2010. The SAARC's charter, which was signed by Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka in 1985, has many similarities to the founding charters of similar regional associations signed elsewhere. While other regional associations have made substantial progress, SAARC has yet to produce notable results. In the context of growing global economic interdependence, it is of interest to assess how far economic growth in each of the SAARC economies has influenced growth in other member countries. Adopting a vector autoregression (VAR) methodology, this paper investigates macroeconomic interdependence in the South Asian region with a view to evaluating its readiness to forge ahead with its integration efforts. The findings of the study reveal that India has been influencing economic growth in the region, as its output variability has been affecting outputs in other member countries. If SAARC has to become successful as a regional bloc, India as the biggest gainer from trade and investment relationships should take some bold steps, which would represent some readiness to part with some of the gains derived by way of trade surpluses.

“…We shall merely state that while building the SIEI there has been extensive use of the best world practices. In particular, we utilized findings and logic of ARIC (2009) andCOMESA (2002), as well as academic work on measuring regional integration (De Lombaerde and Van Langenhove 2006;De Lombaerde et al 2008and Osterkamp 2008).…”

“…Distintas categorías forman parte de este sistema, entre ellas se encuentran: integración económica; cooperación funcional regional; nivel de gobernanza; implementación de programas y proyectos. Las variables utilizadas pueden ser clasificadas en distintas sub-categorías: actores; factores estructurales; institucionalización, implementación; efectos; interdependencia (De Lombaerde y Van Langenhove, 2006). Si se quiere, este sistema ofrece una muy buena plataforma para avanzar en el estudio de la integración regional desde una perspectiva multidimensional.…”

¿Cómo medir la integración regional de forma multidimensional? Este es el problema que ha orientado la realización de este trabajo. Si bien los estudiosos de la integración regional han construido distintos indicadores para su medición, han sido limitados los avances para la construcción de un indicador que permita medir un proceso de integración de manera multidimensional. Para avanzar en dicha dirección, este trabajo presenta el diseño de un índice de integración regional multidimensional, basado en la selección de variables necesarias, no suficientes, y que se encuentran articuladas con distintas aproximaciones sobre el fenómeno. Posterior al diseño del índice, el trabajo incluye una sección en la que se presentan los resultados más salientes de la aplicación del mismo al proceso de integración del Mercosur en sus 25 años de existencia. Por último, el trabajo presenta una conjetura explicativa de los limitados niveles de integración alcanzados en dicho proceso.
