ABSTRACT

In this book we will propose new interdisciplinary directions for the study of global and regional problems and the interactions between these two scales. Today contemplating and addressing global and regional problems are bread and butter activities for many professionals interested in ‘international’ matters broadly conceived: academic analysts in several disciplines and fields, practising policy analysts, policy-makers and activists. Or more precisely, one might suggest that living in the ‘age of globalization’ has forced many of us to also examine the pressures and opportunities of regionalization.
