Regionalism Among Developing Countries

More about the book

The book explores the rise of regionalism over the past decade, placing it within a historical framework. It argues that while regions have previously emerged and often evolved into federal systems or disbanded, the current regional entities are less influential than critics suggest, representing about a third of global trade. Beyond mere trade liberalization, these regions foster deeper integration, encompassing political and economic agendas that shape their enduring nature and significance in the world.
