Abstract
ECO (Economic Cooperation Organization) as a regional organization emerged in 1985 and after
the cold war the organization expanded with gradual progress. In this article achievements and
failures of ECO objectives are explained by interdependence theory in the context of
globalization. It is analyzed how the speed of globalization, growth of technology and
interdependence have impacted on regionalism in ECO region particularly after the Cold War.
Trade, energy and transportation are the key factors of ECO which are pushed by globalization
and interdependence in regional and international levels. EU, India, East Asia and China have
considerably suffering the shortage of energy and are dependent on ECO as a top richest energy
in the world. On the other hand ECO is also facing low standard technology and is dependent on
EU, China and other advanced countries. Interdependence not only has been happening in the
world, but also within the region
