The paper identifies a gap in conventional theories of regional integration, which assume that increased economic interdependence and cross-border connectivity generate positive spillover effects. It argues that this assumption does not hold in regions with limited institutional capacity and persistent political fragmentation. The study highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between infrastructure development and regional integration.
