Sažetak
Regional (and/or preferential) trade liberalization has experienced strong growth from the beginning of 1990s. There is also evidence of intermediate trade increase that indicate the growing interconnections and interdependence between countries. This paper has two aims: (1) to analyse the current state of regional trade agreements (RTAs) in South Asia and (2) to calculate the participation in Global value chains (GVC) for South Asian economies. Even the countries of South Asia have signed the bilateral and regional trade agreements, they do not have influence on the increasing of the intra-regional trade. The intra-regional trade has been stagnating and represents just one fifth/one fourth of the export/import in the region. The South Asian countries have very low level in participation in GVC measured by the share of foreign value added. It is result of the level of development, the production structure, high level of tariff and non-tariff protection. Results emphasized that the region has perspectives/potential for the increase of regional trade and for the participation in GVC- these two process will mutually reinforce each other and the future situation will be result not just of economic decisions and development model but also of political cooperation and stability in the region.
