'This cutting-edge book is the first that comprehensively and convincingly links theory and empirical analysis in the study of interregionalism. A must read for anyone interested in global governance and the EU's international relations.' Jorn Dosch, University of Leeds, UK 'Mathew Doidge's book provides an excellent state-of-the-art account of inter- and transregional relations, a comparatively novel phenomenon in international relations. By focusing on the centrality of the EU in these networks without neglecting the more peripheral relationships involving non-Western regions, the study paves the way towards comparative interregionalism studies. Theory-guided and rich of empirical facts, Doidge breaks new ground by exploring the contribution of interregional relations to the incipient patterns of global institutional nesting and to new international forums such as the G20 and the BRIC Summit.' Jurgen Ruland, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, Germany 'Focusing on institutionalised partnerships between state based groups constitutes a narrow approach. This allows the author to provide original comparative insight on emerging patterns of macro-regional interaction and to ground the theoretical analyses in well considered empirical specifics... Providing a continuously thoughtful and eminently structured insight, this book is of significance to a broad readership. Students of macro-regional interaction will find it an important source to establish an overview of the field. At the same time this book offers them a convincing example of the integration of theory and empirics, while facilitating understanding through an explanatory style. Advanced scholars will also find this book a strong source due to its solid and comprehensive use of empirical specifics which establish a grounded link between theory and realpolitik. Beyond that, the broad range of case studies offers a cutting-edge comparative approach towards institutionalised regional dialogue patterns.' Europe-Asia Studies
