Aim of Study: Over the years, all South Asian countries have experienced repeated regime changes throughout the political spectrum. However, most South Asian countries, like most developing countries, currently have a hybrid regime. Gaps in the research highlight the necessity to investigate and establish the relationship between the hybridity ratio and its influence on South Asia’s regionalisation possibilities. As a result, this article explores the influence of different regime types on regionalisation in South Asia and why, despite several regimes, regionalisation has remained an elusive goal for the area.
