Overlapping Regional Organizations in South America and Africa
This book discusses the interaction between and the impact of overlapping actions by regional organizations while dealing with critical events. It compares all the sub-regions in South America and Africa from this perspective and creates new knowledge through cross-regional gleanings. The book analyses types of institutional interaction among regional organizations and the effects of overlapping actions on the coexistence or fracturing of regional processes. It examines and compares the dynamics of these interactions in both South America and Africa. The book contributes to the study of comparative regionalism by providing generalization and institutional learning based on a cross-regional approach. It gives to students, researchers and interested readers an understanding of the complexity of regional affairs in multi-organizational environments.
The Finances of Regional Organisations in the Global South
This book addresses a major gap in the longstanding research on regional organisations: how do their finances work and what do they reveal about the region-building process? It brings together an empirically rich collection of chapters written by experts of regional organisations in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Based on the insights on thirteen regional organisations as well as two chapters dedicated to the influence of external funders, the editors develop typologies to cluster regional organisations according to their financial characteristics: the size of budgets, the sources of funding and the criteria to calculate contributions. Through analysing the process of budgeting and resourci...
Yearbook on the African Union Volume 3 (2022)
This is the third edition of the Yearbook on the African Union (YBAU). The YBAU is first and foremost an academic project that provides an in-depth evaluation and analysis of the institution, its processes, and its engagements. Despite the increased agency in recent years of the African Union in general, and the AU Commission in particular, little is known – outside expert policy or niche academic circles – about the Union’s activities. This is the gap the Yearbook on the African Union wants to systematically address. It seeks to be a reference point for in-depth research, evidence-based policy-making and decision-making. Contributors are Festus Kofi Aubyn, Mandira Bagwandeen, Habibu Yaya Bappah, Bruce Byiers, Annie Barbara Hazviyemurwi Chikwanha, Dawit Yohannes Wondemagegnehu, Linnea Gelot, Cheryl Hendricks, Jens Herpolsheimer, Aïssatou Kanté, Tim Murithi, Edefe Ojomo, Thomas Tieku, Gino Vlavonou, Tim Zajontz.
Relações Internacionais: Temas Contemporâneos
O campo científico de Relações Internacionais começou a ser construído depois da Grande Guerra, num contexto de expansão da perspectiva liberal impulsionada pela vitória da Tríplice Entente no conflito e pela articulação criada pelo então presidente norte-americano, Woodrow Wilson, para a criação da Liga das Nações. Ocorre que, entre a década de 1920 e o fim da Guerra Fria, em dezembro de 1991, a agenda do cenário internacional foi majoritariamente dominada pela dualidade entre guerra e paz, que mobilizou não apenas os recursos financeiros das grandes potências, mas também os esforços intelectuais necessários para compreender os impactos de todos os confrontos do sécul...
La COVID-19 y los cambios en la integración latinoamericana y europea
La pandemia de la covid-19 ha significado un momento de reflexión para los procesos de integración de América Latina, los cuales se han visto desbordados por su impacto y consecuencias ante la falta de respuestas multilaterales, colaborativas y consensuadas, al preferir actuar de manera individual con prevalencia de soberanías nacionales sobre una actuación de soberanías compartidas. Con ello se está demostrando que, en lo institucional, se encuentra una de las mayores falencias y debilidades de la integración latinoamericana, a lo que se agrega la falta de liderazgo tan necesario en circunstancias como estas. América Latina no ha actuado de manera colaborativa, a pesar de contar co...

Commercial Realism and EU Trade Policy
The European Union (EU) is at the forefront of engaging in external trade relations outside of the World Trade Organization (WTO) with entire regions and economic powerhouses. Understanding why and how the EU engages in one of the most active fields of external relations is crucial. This book fills a gap in the literature by analysing motives on the modes – bilateralism, inter-regionalism, or multilateralism - of EU external trade relations towards regional organizations in Asia and Latin America outside of the WTO. In particular, it examines why the EU turned from interregional to bilateral external trade relations towards these world regions – a question that is, to date, under-researc...

The volume features contributions from the multi-disciplinary lens of law, political science and economics. The Pacific Alliance, comprising Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, aims through a participa...
The Changing Global Order
This volume offers a comprehensive evaluation of the concept of global order, with a particular emphasis on the role of regional organisations within global governance institutions such as the United Nations. Building from a solid theoretical base it draws upon the expertise of numerous leading international scholars offering a broad array of timely and relevant case studies. These all take into consideration the historical setting, before analysing the contemporary situation and offering suggestions for potential realignments and readjustments that may be witnessed in the future. The volume adopts an interdisciplinary approach when addressing some of the most pressing issues of global governance which our global community must tackle. This presents the readers an opportunity to understand related topics such as political economy, international law, institutions of global governance, in conjunction with the academic field of International Relations (IR). It further helps students and interested readers understand the theoretical and practical foundations to the changing nature of global affairs.
