Özet
"In this book Michael Niemann challenges the traditional manner in which regionalization has been approached and suggests that the failure to come to grips with this phenomenon is the result of the modernist relegation of space to margins of analysis, so that spatial awareness has progressively been eliminated in IR theory in a move towards an aspatial image of the state. He then advances an alternative approach which views space as a social construct and traces the emergence of modern states as one of multiple layers of a global social space. From this perspective, regionalization represents the construction of new layers of social space in a search for an institutional fix to the challenges of globalization. This model is applied to southern Africa and Latin America. Finally, he proposes that regions may also serve as spaces for counterhegemonic mobilization which takes advantage of the weakening of the state."--Jacket
