In previous years, the world witnessed a surprising growth of regionalism as a shield
to reduce the damages of globalization process and on the other hand, saw some
countries use economic sanctions as a tool to achieve foreign policy goals ever
more. In this research, we used gravity model and data combination to study the
impact of comprehensive sanctions of Security Council on Iran’s regional integration
in SCO during 1995 to 2010. The results indicate Iran’s presence in SCO increases
trade and strengthen its integration with other members of the organization up to 15%
and comprehensive sanctions of Security Council do not have any significant impact
on the integration.
