Building upon the recent endeavor to truly globalize the field of international relations, this comprehensive book offers a groundbreaking exploration of regionalism. By employing a globalizing framework, the book seeks to transcend the conventional understanding of regionalism, which perceives regions as rival blocs predominantly influenced by great powers. Through the compilation of a diverse range of case studies, the book demonstrates that regions are, in reality, dynamic configurations of social and political identities. Within these regions, a multitude of actors, including the less powerful, engage in interactive processes and actively contribute to regionalization endeavors, a phenomenon that has existed throughout history. By delving into these intricate dynamics, the book provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between regions, nations, and global forces, shedding light on the evolving nature of international relations and the role of regional actors in shaping the global landscape.
