The Regional World Order

In the evolving post-Westphalian world regional entities become key political and economic players as the authors argue in this volume. As a result of regionalization, the international politics and economics is witnessing great transformations too.
This volume explores some ideas of how these transformations may develop. It is written by three generations of researchers and scholars at European, Russian, and Asian higher education institutions. Their different perspectives are integrated in a coherent, multi-dimensional view to answer challenges facing what is called increasingly ?Greater Eurasia?. The volume employs a rigorous conceptual framework over a wide geographic range and applies different approaches to ask and answer challenging questions. The arguments presented in this book are built around the concepts of regionalism and transregionalism.
The volume is focusing on three different geographical entities: Europe, Eurasia and East Asia, and examines ASEM, EAEU, BRI, EU, ASEAN, CIS, as well as TTIP, TTP, OBOR .

Regionalism, encompassing inter-regionalism and trans-regionalism, are powerful transformative movements in our times. This innovative volume brings together a cross-generational team of experts from Europe, Eurasia and Asia to examine the dynamics of new forms of ?wholeness? to counter traditional forms of power politics across the three regions. Transregionalism offers the prospect of a transformation of international relations. This is theoretical and empirical work of the highest order, and is essential reading to understand the shift towards regionalism in world politics today and the possible emergence of a post-Westphalian world order.
