EU studies increasingly recognize the salience of new regional
insights. Hence, this collection of original essays provides a
broad overview of regionalism, together with detailed analyses on
the construction, activities, and implications of both established
and emerging examples of formal political and economic
organizations as well as informal regional entities and networks.
Aimed at scholars and students interested in the continuing growth
of regionalism, The Ashgate Research Companion to Regionalisms is a
key resource to understanding the major debates in the field.
Organized into three main sections, this volume deals with a wide
range of issues covering the following important research areas:
-Section one covers theoretical and methodological approaches to
the study of established and formal regionalism, emerging and
informal regionalism, inter-regionalism, and levels of regionalism.
-Section two provides detailed case-studies of established and
formal regionalisms: EU, NAFTA, ASEAN, SAARC, OAS, MERCOSUR, AU,
ECOWAS, and SADC. -Section three offers case-studies that
investigate emerging and informal regionalisms in Oceania, the Arab
League, BRICSAM, and the Commonwealth(s) as well as
thought-provoking chapters on micro-regional processes evident in
spatial development initiatives, transnational gangs, transfrontier
conservation areas, and the migration-conflict nexus in natural
resource sectors. With the study of regionalism becoming an
increasingly important part of politics, international relations,
development, and global studies courses, this comprehensive volume
is a valuable addition for classroom use.
