'This important book fills a hole in the theory and practice of region-building, namely the unique and little understood role of the EU foreign policy of region-making throughout the world. It is systematic and solidly comparative and will provide a benchmark for further research on the new regionalism and world order.' Björn Hettne, University of Göteborg, Sweden 'This is an important and valuable book as it examines in a thorough manner the external impact of the EU’s regionalising impulse. It comprehensively brings together policymakers and scholars in a rich collection of case studies on a neglected area of regional integration studies. The authors present a rigorous analysis of the complexities and nuances of regionalism and inter-regionalism.' Philomena Murray, University of Melbourne, Australia
