This volume explores the case for and the prospects of the
development of world-regional social policies as integral elements
of a pluralistic, equitable and effective system of global
governance. Focusing on transnational regionalism, this book
examines the trajectory and crossing over of the three strands of
scholarly analysis within the past decade which have given rise to
this volume: the perceived negative impact of neo-liberal
globalisation upon national social policy; the need for but the
difficulty of securing reforms in the institutions of global social
governance; and the increasing salience of the world-regional level
of governance in handling cross-border issues. The authors develop
an intellectual and research agenda that will also inform the
political development of an international programme concerned with
the social policy dimensions of regional governance. Combining the
perspectives and collective expertise of a team of international
scholars and activists, the book features: Theoretical and policy
cases for a focus on regionalism and social policy A mapping and
analysis of social policy dimensions of regional integration
processes and formations in four continents An assessment of the
regional dimensions of global agencies, in particular of the UN
(ILO, WHO, UNESCO, UNDP) including the approach to regional social
policy of the UN Regional Economic Commissions and Development
Banks An articulation of a multi-levelled conceptualisation of
global social governance within which regional associations of
countries plays a significant part. The book will be of interest to
students and scholars of social policy, development studies,
international relations and political science, especially those
focused on the public policy dimensions of globalisation,
regionalisation and international development.
