Opis

Following the financial crisis in large parts of the world at the end of the 20th century, regionalisms in the global political economy have evolved in a number of interesting ways. This book seeks to bring together the leading scholars in the field to provide cutting-edge analyses of contemporary regions and regionalist projects. New Regionalisms in the Global Economy provides an innovative integration of theoretical considerations with sophisticated and detailed analyses of a wide range of case studies from across the world - from Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and the South Pacific. The chapters systematically consider the relationship between globalization, financial crisis, and regional projects. In combination, the contributions to this volume facilitate the widest possible base within the literature for a truly comparative study of contemporary regionalism.
