Synopsis

Eight papers from an October 2003 conference in Paris outline the different paths take toward region building. Political scientists and law scholars look at the ideas, dynamics, and means that contribute to changing a geographic area into a politically-constructed community, and moving from co-operation to a collective assertion of group solidarity.

About this title

Synopsis

The aim of this book is to explain the different experiences in region-building in Europe and East, the two regions of the world that are making major contributions to the experience (and theory) of region-building. Europe and East Asia have evolved in different ways, with different logics and mechanisms, but it does not mean they do not have common interests or things to learn from one another. This book seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the experiences and challenges in both regions and to stimulate a much-needed reflection of the benefits of regions to harness globalisation.
