Many economic studies have \nreiterated South Asia has a comparative advantage in enhancing economic \nintegration. Despite the potential, the region remains as one the least connected, \nwith only 5.5% of intra-regional trade. The existing scholarship has already \nsuggested that the reasons for this low level are political, although these factors \nstill need to be adequately studied. This study attempts to fill this gap by \nexploring the systemic factors and processes affecting South Asia's low level of \neconomic integration between 2000 - 2020. Employing the Neo-Classical \nRealism (NCR) Type III model presented by Ripsman et al. (2016), this study \ntraces the causal relations between the systemic, sub-systemic and domestic \nvariables in the FTA-making processes in three South Asian countries: India, Sri \nLanka and Pakistan. The pressure from the US, China and the India – Pakistan \nrivalry are systemic and sub-systemic pressures. Four factors, leader images, \nstrategic culture, state-society relations, and domestic institutions, are the \ndomestic variables mediating systemic pressure. Adopting the Deductive \nQualitative Analysis (DQA), the study uses two research methods: Comparative \nCase Studies (CCS) and Process Tracing (PT), which are the mainstay methods \nin NCR-inspired studies. The hoop test was used to trace the causality depicted \nin the data. The evidence is collected from primary and secondary sources and \nsemi-structured interviews. The study suggests the necessary criteria to establish \ncausation between all three systemic and sub-systemic pressures and the \neconomic integration in South Asia, differently in three stages: 2000-2006/07; \n2006/07-2010 and 2010-2020. The impact of the US pressure during the first \nstage has resulted in a proliferation of FTAs. In the second phase, the pressure \nfrom China has significantly impacted the region, forming a more restrictive \nenvironment for trade liberalisation through its bilateral engagements with Sri \nLanka and Pakistan. Meanwhile, India has expanded its trade with East Asian \ncountries. The same trend continued more intensely from 2010 – 2020, further \nweakening South Asian integration. The study found the NCR Type III model to \nbe enormously useful in explaining the phenomenon of the low level of \neconomic integration in South Asia.","subitem_description_type":"Abstract"}]},"item_10006_dissertation_number_12":{"attribute_name":"dissertation_number","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_dissertationnumber":"国際博第13号"}]},"item_10006_full_name_3":{"attribute_name":"著者（英）","attribute_value_mlt":[{"names":[{"name":"Edirimuni Nadeesh Rangana de Silva"}]}]},"item_creator":{"attribute_name":"著者","attribute_type":"creator","attribute_value_mlt":[{"creatorNames":[{"creatorName":"Edirimuni Nadeesh Rangana de Silva"}]}]},"item_files":{"attribute_name":"ファイル情報","attribute_type":"file","attribute_value_mlt":[{"accessrole":"open_access","date":[{"dateType":"Available","dateValue":"2024-10-11"}],"filename":"Exam  Report_1B7D02_Edirimuni Nadeesh Rangana de Silva.pdf","filesize":[{"value":"120 KB"}],"format":"application/pdf","mimetype":"application/pdf","url":{"url":"https://iuj.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/2000117/files/Exam  Report_1B7D02_Edirimuni Nadeesh Rangana de Silva.pdf"},"version_id":"e6529362-a207-427c-b5e9-7f2fc15494cb"},{"accessrole":"open_access","date":[{"dateType":"Available","dateValue":"2024-10-11"}],"filename":"Abstract _1B7D02_ Edirimuni Nadeesh Rangana de Silva.pdf","filesize":[{"value":"115 KB"}],"format":"application/pdf","mimetype":"application/pdf","url":{"url":"https://iuj.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/2000117/files/Abstract _1B7D02_ Edirimuni Nadeesh Rangana de Silva.pdf"},"version_id":"7a5bb4a4-5e38-4475-b51e-3c4083f44f74"}]},"item_language":{"attribute_name":"言語","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_language":"eng"}]},"item_resource_type":{"attribute_name":"item_resource_type","attribute_value_mlt":[{"resourcetype":"thesis","resourceuri":"http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_46ec"}]},"item_title":"Neo-classical Realism Approach to Economic Integration through Free Trade  Agreements: A Study on South Asia (2000 – 2020)","item_titles":{"attribute_name":"タイトル","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_title":"Neo-classical Realism Approach to Economic Integration through Free Trade  Agreements: A Study on South Asia (2000 – 2020)","subitem_title_language":"en"}]},"item_type_id":"10006","owner":"14","path":["302"],"pubdate":{"attribute_name":"PubDate","attribute_value":"2024-10-11"},"publish_date":"2024-10-11","publish_status":"0","recid":"2000117","relation_version_is_last":true,"title":["Neo-classical Realism Approach to Economic Integration through Free Trade  Agreements: A Study on South Asia (2000 – 2020)"],"weko_creator_id":"14","weko_shared_id":-1},"updated":"2024-10-11T05:43:45.511067+00:00"}
