The past five years have witnessed a resurgence of regionalism in world politics and an increasingly important role for regional institutions. This book provides a timely and authoritative analysis of recent trends towards the new regionalism and regionalization, assessing their origins, present and future prospects and place in the evolving international order.

Now in its second edition, this popular title has been fully revised and updated, with two new chapters on the nature of Islam and the war in Iraq.
