Abstract

Why have Bangladesh’s regional integrative efforts sputtered more than resonate? Will its sought-after Southeast Asian trade linkages stem from what is on the table than off of it? A structured-focused study 1 , utilizing methods both case 2 and comparative 3 , applies neo-functional and regional integration tenets 4 , to the country’s diplomatic neighbourhood forays, before probing possible future trajectories. Preliminary findings elevate exogenous (not necessarily external) constraints and interdependent relations 5 , more than endogenous and integrative. Among the constraints: (a) Bangladesh’s export rigidities and the stubbornness to diversify consumption patterns; (b) infrastructural deficiencies impeding the necessary flows for regional growth; (c) security considerations impinging progress, limiting partner possibilities; and (d) mostly the absence of any south-south exchange weltanschauung to fall back upon.

孟加拉与地方主义:“两人跳探戈”，还是在地狱边缘徘徊?

为什么孟加拉国的区域一体化努力失败了，而不是产生了共鸣?中国备受追捧的东南亚贸易联系，是源于谈判桌上的东西，还是源于谈判之外的东西?一项以结构化为重点的研究，利用案例2和比较3的方法，在探索可能的未来轨迹之前，将新功能和区域一体化原则应用于该国的外交邻国尝试。初步的研究结果强调了外生(不一定是外部)约束和相互依赖的关系，而不是内生的和综合的。限制因素包括:(a)孟加拉国的出口僵化和不愿使消费模式多样化;(b)基础设施不足妨碍区域增长的必要流动;(c)阻碍进展的安全考虑，限制合作伙伴的可能性;(d)主要是缺乏任何可以依靠的南南交流。

期刊介绍： The European Journal of International Relations publishes peer-reviewed scholarly contributions across the full breadth of the field of International Relations, from cutting edge theoretical debates to topics of contemporary and historical interest to scholars and practitioners in the IR community. The journal eschews adherence to any particular school or approach, nor is it either predisposed or restricted to any particular methodology. Theoretically aware empirical analysis and conceptual innovation forms the core of the journal’s dissemination of International Relations scholarship throughout the global academic community. In keeping with its European roots, this includes a commitment to underlying philosophical and normative issues relevant to the field, as well as interaction with related disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. This theoretical and methodological openness aims to produce a European journal with global impact, fostering broad awareness and innovation in a dynamic discipline. Adherence to this broad mandate has underpinned the journal’s emergence as a major and independent worldwide voice across the sub-fields of International Relations scholarship. The Editors embrace and are committed to further developing this inheritance. Above all the journal aims to achieve a representative balance across the diversity of the field and to promote deeper understanding of the rapidly-changing world around us. This includes an active and on-going commitment to facilitating dialogue with the study of global politics in the social sciences and beyond, among others international history, international law, international and development economics, and political/economic geography. The EJIR warmly embraces genuinely interdisciplinary scholarship that actively engages with the broad debates taking place across the contemporary field of international relations.
