The European Union and Europe's New Regionalism

The Challenge of Enlargement, Neighborhood, and Globalization

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a new approach to studying the European Union's regional and global relevance. It recasts into a dynamic perspective the three most significant systemic processes that define the EU as a regionalist project: its enlargement, neighborhood, and mega-regional policies. The book argues that these processes collectively demonstrate a dynamic shift of the core tenets of European regionalism from an inward-looking process of region building to an open, selective system of global interactions.
