Abstract
 Structural changes in international relations after the end of the Cold War have brought the world into a transition phase with new features. This development has made regional cooperation in different parts of the world more important. Thus, the success in playing an effective and constructive role in the peripheral regions of each country can be considered as a prelude to the successful entry of that country into the global arena. At the same time, success in regional policies is not only a function of the strategy of each country in the region but also requires the participation of all countries in the region in the process of regionalism. Regionalism is also possible in the context of a regional system. The above research seeks to answer the question of what factors have prevented the formation of economic convergence of regional organizations such as ECO and ASEAN as efficient and effective regional economic organizations. It seems that several factors have contributed to this inefficiency. In general, we can refer to economic-political-social-organizational and geopolitical factors. This research is of fundamental-research type and with qualitative-interpretive method as well as descriptive-analytical approach. Therefore, due to the nature of the issue, information collection has been done through the library and the Internet. The purpose of the above research is a comparative study of the above-mentioned
regional organizations and the impact of economic convergence in the region.
