This paper tries to provide an explanatory framework for
understanding the BSEC as an example of ‘new regionalism’. It
examines and illustrates the structural change of the BSEC within
the context of ‘new regionalism’, the dynamics of the BSEC, the
preferred outcomes of the BSEC and the inter-regional grouping
cooperation between the BSEC and the EU. The paper argues that
the BSEC could not be considered a ‘stumbling block’ to globalism
but as a ‘stepping-stone’.
