Routledge European Union and New Regionalism - Routledge Revivals

Explore the evolving dynamics of the global economy with this Routledge Revivals edition of European Union and New Regionalism: Europe and Globalization in Comparative Perspective. Originally published in 2001, this collection of papers examines how the structure of the global economy and its paradigms have shifted over time. This academic work challenges traditional views of the state. While realist and neo-realist theories often portray the state as an autonomous and sovereign entity freed from constraint, the contributors in this volume argue that this has never fully reflected international reality. Instead, the text examines how political, social, and economic characteristics are increasingly expressed through regional constructs rather than individual states. This book provides a comparative perspective on how globalization affects regional structures. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the intersection of sociology, political science, and international economics. By looking at the changing nature of sovereignty and regionalism, this title offers deep insights into the modern global landscape.
