Opis

Bringing together comparative case studies from Central Europe and South America, this book focuses on 'new' regions - regions created as political projects of modernization and 're-scaling'. Through this approach it de-codes 'New Regionalism' in terms of its contributions to institutional change, while acknowledging its contested nature and contradictions.

Recenzje

'This is a comparative collection that critically examines the new regionalism debate through the examination of specific cases. It is a valuable contribution to the discussion of regional politics, institutions and policies, as well as to the literature on modernization and democratization in Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe.' Michael Keating, European University Institute, Italy
