This book aims to examine the conceptions and practices of security
adopted by Regional Organisations (ROs) across the globe. Since the
end of the Cold War, there has been an increased focus on regions
as a relevant realm for security, with actors within regional
contexts identifying a significant degree of interdependency
between one another. As a consequence, international security has
taken on a distinct regionally institutionalised character, as seen
by the increase in calls for greater utilisation of 'Chapter VIII:
Regional Arrangements' of the UN, in order to create a devolved
UN-led system of global security management. However, the idea of a
system of global security management is a remote prospect, because
divergence seems to be as important as commonality in terms of
regional security. In light of the above, Regional Organisations
and Security analyses the primary ROs that are active in Africa,
Asia, Eurasia, the Middle East and South America. The findings of
individual case studies are compiled to highlight disparities and
similarities in how security is seen, prioritised, understood,
practised, managed and implemented across regions. On this basis,
the authors reach conclusions about whether we live in an
increasingly globalised or regionally distinct world, and go on to
assess the prospects for a globalised system of security management
and consider how this might be developed and organised. This book
will be of interest to students of comparative regionalism,
international organisations, international security and IR.
