Microregionalism and World Order

The recent era has seen the emergence of a number of microregions. Be they formal arrangements like the growth triangles within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or informal economic integration like that across the US-Mexican border, it is often below the national level that we find real regional integration taking place. Building on two previous Palgrave publications, Gamble and Payne's Regionalism and World Order and Hook and Kearns' Subregionalism and World Order, this volume provides a comprehensive assessment of a number of different case studies - wide ranging n terms of both geographical coverage and the types of microregionalism assessed.
