Regionalization:

strentghened collective identity

in conglomerate of nations
occupying a particular
geographical area or aiming at
shared goals; increase in

Hettne’s Faces of regionalism and degrees of
Regionness
OLD REGIONALISM
1.Bipolar such that it was produced in a
schismm between opposing political
alliances
2.imposed by the superpowers
3.secures economic security within
alliances
4.specific to economic and political
objectives
5. focused only on nation-state
NEW REGIONALISM

engagement and collaborations among
countries
2. spontaneous and sought voluntarily by
constituents
3. open in as much as it is multipolar
4.comprehensive and multidimensional
( political, cultural, economic, social)
5. involves non- state actors
Non-State actors

NGOs, private sector

entities,

VARYING DEGREES OF
REGIONNESS

1.Region as geopgraphic unit

2.Regions as a social system
3.Region as organized cooperation
4.Region as civil society
5. Region as an acting subject
1.Region as a geographic
unit

a region can be construed as a place ,as a

physical environment.
Example: we can determine Asia as a region
based on the land and water boundaries
surrounding it.
2.Region as a social system

A region can be construed as a conglomerate of

people occupying a particular space and possing
unique dynamics of interaction .
Example: we can determine Asia as a region based
on the group of people occupying it and the
shared ancestry,language , and culture these
people have.
3.Region as organized
cooperation

a region can e construed as a group of

nations who agree to take part and form
a formal organization.
Example:
Southeast Asia is a region within Asia ,
and it has been formalized through
memberships in the association of South
East Asian Nations (ASEAN)
4.Region as Civil society

a region can be construed as a

network of cultural and social
linkages among countries who
voluntarily take part in a
cooperation among nations
5.Region as an acting
subject

a region can be construed

as a group of nations
concerned about peace ,
welfare and prosperity of
its people.
