After two centuries of nation-building, the world has entered an
era of region-building in search of political stability, cultural
cohesion, and socio-economic development. Nations involved in the
regional structures and integration schemes that are emerging in
most regions of the world are deepening their ambitions, with
Europe's integration experience often used as an experimental
template or theoretical model. Volume I provides a
political-analytical framework for recognizing the central role of
the European Union not only as a conceptual model but also a
normative engine in the global proliferation of regional
integration. It also gives a comprehensive treatment of the focus,
motives, and objectives of non-European integration efforts. Volume
II offers a unique collection of documents that give the best
available overview of the legal and political evolution of
region-building based on official documents and stated objectives
of the relevant regional groupings across all continents. Together,
these volumes are important contributions for understanding the
evolution of global affairs in an age when power shifts provide new
challenges and opportunities for transatlantic partners and the
world community.
