Handbook on Political Economy and Regionalism

Edited by José Briceño-Ruiz, Professor, Latin American and Caribbean Research Center (CIALC), National Autonomous University of Mexico and Andrés Rivarola Puntigliano, Professor of Latin American Studies, Nordic Institute of Latin American Studies, Stockholm University, Sweden

‘This Handbook on the political economy of regionalism, edited by José Briceño-Ruiz and Andrés Rivarola Puntiglian, is a treasure. Divided into four sections, the first part is theoretical, setting out the authors’ diverse range of conceptual approaches, and the subsequent parts highlight key features of the political economy of regionalism during the Cold War, in the post-Cold War period, and in the contemporary era. This volume would make an ideal course reader for undergraduate and master’s level teaching.’
