This edited volume approaches regionalism as one potential pattern in a changing global order. It offers an innovative contribution to the study of territorialization by exploring constellations of regional actors, spatial scales and imaginations beyond state-centred perspectives as well as on multiple levels. The book analyzes the emergence, trajectories and outcomes of regionalisms from the perspective of the Global South, specifically concentrating on regional projects in Latin America and Africa. This book will appeal to scholars of global studies, IPE, IR, human geography, and development studies, as well as area studies specialists who focus on Latin America and Africa.
