Regionalism Across the North-South Divide
Regionalism Across the North-South Divide charts the increasingly important trend of regional cooperation between the developed North and the developing countries of the South. It focuses on the responses and reactions of developing countries to the current wave of globalization and explores the state strategies adopted to create this new regionalism. Introductory chapters introduce a theoretical framework, locating the semi-periphery in the context of globalization. Subsequent chapters then present in-depth case studies of the following countries and regions:
  • Brazil and MERCOSUR
  • South East Asia
  • Eurasia and Turkey
  • Sub-Saharan Africa
  • Chile and the Americas
  • North Africa
  • China and East Asia
  • Australia and Asia-Pacific
This study is invaluable for making sense of what regionalism means for the South and its insights contribute to a wider understanding of international relations, the relationship between globalization and regionalism and the possibility of cooperation within the developing world.

The post-war development of inter-state relations can be divided into different episodes. First, the establishment of a bi-polar world with two hegemons (the Soviet Union and the United States) which dominated the world system and the interactions between nation-states. The key concept was military security, which produced an often uneasy type of stability. Second, the emergence of a large number of new states due to decolonisation and of divisions between these states due to the competition between the two hegemons, forming the first and second worlds. In addition to these first and second worlds, a third world came into existence, which was by and large dependent either on the richer capitalist countries or on the established communist states. Political adherence of third-world countries implied their economic dependence on one or other of the more developed worlds. Third, in the wake of the OPEC crisis and the subsequent worldwide economic stagflation, international economic relations changed dramatically and affected all three worlds in one way or another. The longer-term effects of these changes in relations can be observed in various ways: the disintegration of the Communist bloc or second world, the moves towards a more unified Europe, and the growing divisions of the third world in the 1980s. All these developments have been conducive to a reordering and re-orientation of the components that make up the complexion of the aforementioned three worlds. In other words, the existing world order was slowly reconstructed into a politically multi-polar world in which long-standing coalitions between blocks of states fell apart. This phenomenon is particularly visible in states with developing economiesthe Southand has, more often than not, been conducive to the formation of new coalitions between states that cut across the former worlds. According to the editors of Regionalism Across the North-South Divide, this makes it imperative that international political economy be approached from a fresh perspective.
