Overview

Building on the recent initiative to truly globalize the field of international relations, this book provides an innovative interrogation of regionalism. The book applies a globalizing framework to the study of regional worlds in order to move beyond the traditional conception of regionalism, which views regions as competing blocs dominated by great powers. Bringing together a wide range of case studies, the book shows that regions are instead dynamic configurations of social and political identities in which a variety of actors, including the less powerful, interact and partake in regionalization processes and have done so through the centuries.

Reviews

This book is a crucial contribution to the study of the international. The view that the study of regions is a privileged lens for the development of global and decolonized International Relations is borne out by the analysis on offer here. Monica Herz, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro This book takes readers on a new journey to the future of International Relations (IR) where the monolithic understanding of the world is by no means possible or appropriate. Its publication is not only timely but also much needed in materialising the study of regionalism and IR in contemporary world affairs transcending the Eurocentric imagination of the world. Kosuke Shimizu, Ryukoku University, Kyoto
