CHAPTER 12: REGIONALISM

Define as “is an intentional political process”. (Hurrell, 1995)

- Which means regionalism is a conscious process of institution creation undertaken by states

TWO APPROACHES OF REGIONALISM

1. Intergovernmentalism
2. Suprationalism

These two approaches imply the extent to which states allow themselves to retain their autonomy
while making regional institutions.

Intergovernmentalism holds that states remain intact and resilient despite the creation of
institutions and the shift in policies and political authority.

At some point, delegates of major powers in the region had to think of ways to avoid another
World war

There was a proposition the regional organizations could address disputes and conflicts among
neighbouring states better than multilateral organizations like the defunct League of Nations and the
existing united nations.

CHAPTER 5: GLOBAL GOVERNANCE

Governance -is a set of principles, norms, rules, and decision-making procedures creates expectations
on the behaviour of actors and the outcomes of their interactions.

 Toward the end of World War II, various intergovernmental organizations were created. Such
formal multilateral institutions as the United Nations (UN), IMF, WB, GATT were given
“MONOPOLY STATUS” in making crucial decisions and coordinating actions in important
policy areas like peace and security, trade, finance, and development. This institutional
arrangement was based on the notion that only an “inclusive formal multilaterism” can help
bring about “global collective action” (Woods, Beets, Prantl, & Sridhar, 2013).
