Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The greatest obstacle to regional integration between Country A and Country B would be the unwillingness of Country A to surrender autonomy to a central bloc authority. Both countries are low-wage countries, so issues related to the supply of skilled laborers or the lack of sufficient educational systems would not be significant obstacles. Additionally, the number of national institutions in Country B would not be a significant obstacle, as this could potentially be addressed through the establishment of new institutions within the economic bloc.
