Summary:

"This insightful Handbook explores how regional processes and their interaction with political economy influence nations as well as local and global systems. Moving beyond a traditional Eurocentric view, it presents analyses from across the globe on how regions manage trade, development, security, migration, the environment and health crises. Expert contributors demonstrate that regional cooperation, such as trade blocs or shared institutions, has long influenced how countries grow, compete, and relate to one another. By bringing together global perspectives and drawing on historical experiences, the Handbook evaluates how ideas about regionalism have evolved, from Cold War projects to globalization-era agreements and today's multipolar world. Overall, the Handbook gives a clear, comprehensive overview of how the connection between political economy and regionalism shapes national politics, the global economy and international relations. Interdisciplinary in approach, this Handbook is an essential resource for scholars and students of political economy, international relations and development studies. Policymakers and practitioners engaged in regional organisations, trade negotiations and development planning will likewise benefit from its cutting-edge analysis"-- Provided by publisher.
