Description
Introduction Regional formation ideas and theories have existed before and throughout the twentieth century. (1) However, it was only after the end of the Cold War and the collapse of its bipolarized world system that ideas of regional formation came to be espoused in many parts of the world (Mansfield and Milner 1999). The rise of regionalism in world politics has undergone further reappraisal in an area of globalization, both as a response and a challenge (Mittelman 1996; Hettne et al. 1999). Manifestations of this phenomenon are pronounced in the progress that the European Union has achieved, as well as in other ongoing regional formation attempts, such as in North America (NAFTA), South America (Mercosur), Africa (AU), Asia (ASEAN, EAEC), and the Asia-Pacific (APEC).
