INTERREGIONALISM AND THE EUROPEAN UNION
This excellent book, focusing on agreements between the EU and its partners, provides a theoretically and empirically rich analysis of different forms of interregionalism. By systematically building on previous research in this area, it provides insights that will stimulate both academic and policy debate.
Vinod K. Aggarwal, University of California, Berkeley, USA
Breaking with traditional approaches, this book analyses the EU as a laboratory of experiments in regional and interregional cooperation. It is a major new contribution to regionalism studies and will be essential reading both for its fresh insights and the quality of its contributors.

As a leading research institution and a Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence in European Studies, the Institut dtudes Europennes of the Universit Libre de Bruxelles (IEE-ULB) supported the launch of this global series with a view to bringing together multidisciplinary research in global governance and EU studies. The series can draw on a wide and global network of partner universities across five continents. Among its numerous resources special mention is to be made of the Erasmus Mundus GEM PhD School on Globalisation, Europe, Multilateralism and the GR:EEN European research project on Global Reordering: Evolving European Networks.
Volumes included in the series share innovative research objectives centred on: globalisation, the EUs changing position therein, resulting forms of multilateral cooperation, and the role of transnational networks as well as multipolarity in the contemporary international order. A wide array of possible approaches to these shared themes are welcomed, including among others: comparative regionalism, public and foreign policy analysis, EU governance and Europeanisation studies, discourse analysis, area studies, and various institutional perspectives.
With a shared aim to contribute to innovations in the study of both European Integration and International Relations, the series includes: collaborative volumes, research based monographs and textbooks. Each publication undergoes an international refereeing process, and enjoys the advice and feedback of an international editorial board.
