  One of the most important features in regional development is the concept of “regional differences” which constitutes economic efficiency in planning process. The comprehensive viewpoint of regional development needs general equilibrium approach including supply-side and demand- side differences which in this article, demand- side differences are considered as an important element of GE approach Two main features of this concept are urban- rural disequilibrium (or classical duality) and Spearman’s rank correlation correlation coefficients (SRCC) for consumption and income in period 1976-99. Our findings suggest that the urban- rural gap is declined while the behavior of this index is different in national and regional level. Besides, the crucial oscillations in SRCC fails the convergency or divergency analysis of regional differences. Finally, estimated dynamic consumption function in national and regional levels imply inconsistency of these two levels and the divergency behavior for some regions. It can be argued that these findings stem from the instability of regional development policies in Iran which must emphasis on the role of taking distinguished regional policies and theoretical framework for optimal regional development lies in the heart of it.

  Southwest Asia countries engage in many political, cultural, religious, economic and ideological challenges; these countries lack a comprehensive regional structure and, hence, are unable to take a step to resolve the created conflicts and challenges. Functions of a comprehensive regional structure aimed at resolving the conflicts and challenges in Southwest Asia is the main problem of this research. the required research data were collected using both the library and field methods. Descriptive-analytical and one sample t-test approaches were used for the library and field methods respectively. Based on the population of the research, the findings of the research indicate that factors such as the confrontation of the countries with natural hazards like ultrafine dust and environmental pollution, the formation of regional organizations such as the Islamic Conference, etc, the access of the most countries of the region to international waters, joint cooperation of Iran, Iraq and Turkey to counter the Kurdistan region's separatist actions, visa waiver and tariff cuts are the most important bases for achieving integration in Southwest Asia.

  The member countries of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council despite creation of an institution for regional integration and the existence of good potential for attaining the goals defined in its charter have not been able to make use of their potential capabilities within the framework of regional cooperation. Implementing economic model unsuitable with the conditions of the countries of the union in matters like monetary union and also wrong economic policies have led to non-fulfillment of their potential capacities. Non-formation of monetary union, high rate of unemployment among the countries of Persian Gulf region, shortage of capital in oil, development and transportation projects, low volume of trade among the member countries are the tangible bottleneck which the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council is facing despite years thirty years life of this organization. Therefore it seems that for achieving the goals defined in the charter of this organization within the framework of regional economic cooperation, they should first define a suitable economic model which conforms to the common conditions of the member countries. In this ideal economic model return of the capital earned from the sale of oil to oil industries and other related industries is an important necessity. The countries of Persian Gulf Cooperation Council should increase the efficiency of domestic labour force and train specialist from their own citizens of member countries and reduce the foreign labour forces. By these measures they can have dynamic future instead of simply restricting the flow of foreign labour force. Manuscript profile

  Integration and regional cooperation have increasingly become an important trend in Asia and Europe. In the West five decades of integration in Europe has led to the formation of a regional government which is having the power to take legal and political decisions that are binding on its members. In the East of Asia, the regional cooperation had been on the basis of ASEAN methods and ideas. In Europe regional integration is based on a strong institutional and legal framework. The European commission, Ministerial Council, European Parliament, Central Bank of Europe and the European Hague Court, constitute the strong institutional infrastructure of European decision making. In East Asia integration is based on the principles of respect for sovereignty, non-interference in internal affairs and not use of violence in regional conflicts. Why Europe and East Asia have approved different pattern of regionalism? How this pattern of regional decision making can bring change in Europe and East Asia? The present article points out that different and distinct feature of the constituting countries play important role in determining the pattern of integration and cooperation in each region. Besides that, different pattern of regional cooperation has led to adopting different approaches by regional countries to face specific challenges. Manuscript profile

  Neo-nationalism and new criteria for regionalization (West Asia Regional or Formal? Based on the new literature, new-regionalism should be distinguished from the geographic or geographical division of science. Here we define the region as follows: A group of countries whose joint political project is more or less explicit and active in integrating into globalization. That is, both of these trends are tied to the flux of the transformation of the global structure. In the new-regionalism literature, geographic or even economic dimensions are undermined, and their functions are important? The main question of the article is that considering conceptual developments in the dimension of neo-nationalism as a way of understanding in understanding the global structure of the present, is the use of the term "region" to Western Asia to be a scientific criterion. The hypothesis of the paper, based on the analysis and explanation methods, considers the transition of the neo-nationalist literature to the use of geographic or even economic criteria in the establishment of the regions, the primary and basic presuppositions of the formation of the region depends on the realization of the factors of the movement towards polarization.
