Reviews

"This up-to-date snapshot of European, Latin American and Asian regional integration is informed by a theoretical framing that touches the most important bases in the field of comparative regional studies. This book is a very useful and very readable addition to an important area of world politics and a vibrant field of scholarship." - Peter J. Katzenstein, Walter S. Carpenter Professor, Jr. of International Studies, Cornell University, USA."Are regional organisations in crisis, or are they a crucial part of the solution to addressing the challenges of contemporary crises? Saurugger and Terpan have assembled an impressive range of expertise to analyse the relationship between regionalism and crisis-response in Europe, Asia and Latin America. The result is a highly topical volume which is an important contribution to the burgeoning literature on comparative regionalism." - Thomas Christiansen, Maastricht University, the Netherlands.
