By
contrasting different theoretical perspectives on regional integration,
this valuable text advances our understanding of this important
phenomenon in international relations. The volume contains theoretical
considerations with empirical studies of integration efforts in
parts of the world including Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America.
Structure in four strong sections: governmentalist perspectives;
power perspectives; constructivist perspectives; and neo functionalist
and historical institutionalist perspectives, the book appeals to
theorists, policy makers, students and other readers concerned about
world developments. It will also serve a place on courses covering
international political economy, international relations and regional
integration, both at under graduate and graduate levels.
