National Perspectives on the New Regionalism in the North [Paperback]

This is the second of five volumes reporting on the UNU/WIDER project on new regionalism. Whereas the first volume dealt with the two processes of globalization and regionalization in more general terms, this volume presents various national perspectives on the process of regionalization in order to get a more concrete understanding of its dynamics. It is dedicated to country studies from Europe and North America, divided between the two categories policy makers and policy takers.List of Abbreviations and Acronyms Notes on the Contributors The New Regionalism: A Prologue; B.Hettne Foreword; Giovanni Andrea Cornia Editor's Preface Introduction; A.Inotai PART ONE Regionalization in the Change of the European System; K.L?hteenm?ki Germany's Options and Interests in Europe; J.Brechtefeld Divided Nation, Reluctant European: The Case of Norway; H.Hveem The Dynamics of Regionalization: The Case of Hungary; A.Inotai Visegr?d Cooperation: An Approach to Europe?; P.G?sp?r & M.Sass PART TWO Post-Soviet Regionalism: Integration or Break-up?; S.Medvedev PART THREE Sustaining American Hegemony: The Relevance of Regionalism?; R.Falk & J.H.Mittelman North American Regionalism from a Canadian Perspective; M.Bienefeld Regional Integration on Uneven Terms: The Case of Mexico within NAFTA; E.Dominguez Contents of Volumes 1 - 5 IndexMANFRED BIENEFELDJ?RG BRECHTEFELDR.
