Abstract

This article explores the political and economic dimensions of regional cooperation and integration, focusing on the importance of interstate interests and compatibility in achieving successful outcomes. Drawing on theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence from different regional blocs, the study highlights that integration is not only a means of promoting trade liberalization and economic growth but also a strategic tool for strengthening political stability, collective security, and global influence. The analysis emphasizes that alignment of state interests, robust and adaptive institutional frameworks, and mutual trust are essential for the sustainability of integration processes. The findings suggest that when these factors converge, regional cooperation can generate significant benefits, including economic modernization, infrastructure development, and enhanced bargaining power in international relations. Ultimately, the article underscores that integration is a multidimensional project requiring long-term vision, political commitment, and equitable distribution of benefits among member states.
