About the Book

Structured in four strong sections: governmentalist perspectives; power perspectives; constructivist perspectives; and neofunctionalist and historical institutionalist perspectives, the book should appeal to theorists, policy makers, students and other readers concerned about world developments. It should also find a place on courses covering international political economy, international relations and regional integration, both at undergraduate and graduate levels.

Review :
'This wide-ranging collection of articles...provides a fine blend of up-to-date...empirical research on regional integration issues and a valuable synthesis of different theoretical approaches. Taken as a whole, the volume makes an important contribution to the growing literature in international relations and European studies by bringing clarity and structured orientations in a field of high scientific importance, but persistent conceptual confusion.' Mario Telò, Free University Brussels (ULB), Belgium 'Provides a very valuable comparative perspective on the European Union and other projects of regional integration. Ranging across the Americas, Southeast Asia, and East Asia, this volume will interest those who view theories addressing European integration as key to understanding the process of non-European regional integration as well as those who reject that approach.' Alberta Sbragia, European Union Center of Excellence & European Studies Center, University of Pittsburgh, USA 'This remarkable work does not only consider the relevance of the European experience for regional integration elsewhere but also draws upon examples from the other regions to illuminate the development of the EU from different theoretical perspectives. A Great Leap Forward in the emerging field of comparative regionalism!' Björn Hettne, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
