The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Regionalism - the first of its
kind - offers a systematic and wide-ranging survey of the
scholarship on regionalism, regionalization, and regional
governance. Unpacking the major debates, leading authors of the
field synthesize the state of the art, provide a guide to the
comparative study of regionalism, and identify future avenues of
research. Twenty-seven chapters review the theoretical and
empirical scholarship with regard to the emergence of regionalism,
the institutional design of regional organizations and
issue-specific governance, as well as the effects of regionalism
and its relationship with processes of regionalization. The authors
explore theories of cooperation, integration, and diffusion
explaining the rise and the different forms of regionalism. The
handbook also discusses the state of the art on the world regions:
North America, Latin America, Europe, Eurasia, Asia, North Africa
and the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Various chapters
survey the literature on regional governance in major issue areas
such as security and peace, trade and finance, environment,
migration, social and gender policies, as well as democracy and
human rights. Finally, the handbook engages in cross-regional
comparisons with regard to institutional design, dispute
settlement, identities and communities, legitimacy and democracy,
as well as inter- and transregionalism.
