Observing the dramatic shift in world politics since the end of
the Cold War, Peter J. Katzenstein argues that regions have become
critical to contemporary world politics. This view is in stark
contrast to those who focus on the purportedly stubborn persistence
of the nation-state or the inevitable march of globalization. In
detailed studies of technology and foreign investment, domestic and
international security, and cultural diplomacy and popular culture,
Katzenstein examines the changing regional dynamics of Europe and
Asia, which are linked to the United States through Germany and
Japan.
Regions, Katzenstein contends, are interacting closely with an
American imperium that combines territorial and non-territorial
powers. Katzenstein argues that globalization and
internationalization create open or porous regions. Regions may
provide solutions to the contradictions between states and markets,
security and insecurity, nationalism and cosmopolitanism. Embedded
in the American imperium, regions are now central to world
politics.
