  • Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (CCASG)

  • South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC)
  • Union of South American Nations (UNASUR)
  • Union State
  • Turkic Council (TurkKon)
  • Economic Cooperation Organization(ECO)

Famous quotes containing the words degree and/or integration:

    It is true that genius takes its rise out of the mountains of rectitude; that all beauty and power which men covet are somehow born out of that Alpine district; that any extraordinary degree of beauty in man or woman involves a moral charm.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The more specific idea of evolution now reached is—a change from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, accompanying the dissipation of motion and integration of matter.
    Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
