Surveys and evaluates the history of regional policy by the national governments of Canada, France, Great Britain, the US, Australia, Malaysia, and Brazil.

"There has recently been a proliferation in studies on regionalism and regional powers. Yet little has been done to explore the role that regional powers play in fostering economic integration in their regions. In particular, two questions have been unexplored. First, why do the regional economic priorities of regional powers shift over time? Also, why do regional powers pursue different forms of leadership to exert economic influence over their neighbors? This dissertation speaks to a broad audience in the field of International Relations, including IPE, regional powers, Russian foreign policy and Turkish foreign policy. It contributes to the ongoing debate on regional powers and economic orientation by highlighting the ideational roots of the economic leadership strategies of Russia and Turkey. I argue that objective economic/material factors cannot explain the foreign economic strategies of these two countries. Instead, it is elite national identity conceptions that primarily construct and define economic interests. National identity conceptions are elite understandings of the state's historically appropriate roles and purposes in its region and the world. I demonstrate that from the 1990s to the 2000s, both Turkey and Russia changed the geographic orientations and forms of their regional foreign economic strategies in response to the changing national identity conceptions of their ruling elites. I argue that the shifting national identity conception in Russia from a Westernizing one under Yeltsin's presidency to a great power nationalist one under Putin's leadership led to a geographic reorientation of Russia's foreign economic policies from the West to the post-Soviet region. While the Westernizers of the 1990s wanted integration into Western economic structures, great power nationalists have prioritized integration in Eurasia. Similarly, I investigate why Turkish decision-makers of the 1990s pursued economic integration with the European Union and closer economic ties with the post-Soviet states, while economic integration with the Middle East has become a priority under Erdoğan's JDP. I argue that this occurred because the JDP's conservative national identity conception embraced the Muslim Middle East, in contrast to the traditionally Western oriented and Kemalist national identity conception of the 1990s. In terms of the form of foreign economic policies, I argue that Putin and his allies' great power nationalist identity conception has resulted in a hegemonic and coercive form of regional leadership towards establishing the Eurasian Economic Union. Conversely, the JDP's conservative national identity conception has made Turkey a liberal economic leader in the Middle East. I show that in both Russia and Turkey, current ruling elites determined the direction and form of economic policies in opposition to the previously prevalent national identity conceptions. The variation in the form of foreign economic policies of Russia and Turkey, therefore, is rooted in elite national identity contestation at home. In both countries the process of the consolidation of political power at home constituted a critical juncture in that it eliminated the influence of alternative national identity conceptions and reinforced formerly set foreign economic goals. Similarly, both Russia's great power nationalists and Turkey's conservatives saw the global financial crisis of 2008-09 as a great opportunity to increase their economic influence in their neighborhoods." --

The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Regionalism - the first of its kind - offers a systematic and wide-ranging survey of the scholarship on regionalism, regionalization, and regional governance. Unpacking the major debates, leading authors of the field synthesize the state of the art, provide a guide to the comparative study of regionalism, and identify future avenues of research. Twenty-seven chapters review the theoretical and empirical scholarship with regard to the emergence of regionalism, the institutional design of regional organizations and issue-specific governance, as well as the effects of regionalism and its relationship with processes of regionalization. The authors explore theories of cooperation, integration, and diffusion explaining the rise and the different forms of regionalism. The handbook also discusses the state of the art on the world regions: North America, Latin America, Europe, Eurasia, Asia, North Africa and the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Various chapters survey the literature on regional governance in major issue areas such as security and peace, trade and finance, environment, migration, social and gender policies, as well as democracy and human rights. Finally, the handbook engages in cross-regional comparisons with regard to institutional design, dispute settlement, identities and communities, legitimacy and democracy, as well as inter- and transregionalism.

Partnerships between business, third sector organizations and communities have becomean increasingly important part of government strategies to promote regional economic development. The association between these partnerships and the economic development of regions is at present unclear. There are contrasting views as to whether partnerships build competitive advantage or instead reflect a neoliberal policy agenda of reducing government protection and investment. This debate is centered on agency: the possibilities and limitations of partnerships as a means of promoting regional economic development. This inquiry centres on the following key research question: do partnerships promote regional economic development and if so, who shapes this agency? I use the New Regionalism (NR) as an entry point for my inquiry because it supports anargument that partnerships increase the capacity of social actors to influence regional economic development in the context of a globally competitive economy. I engage critically with the NR and seek to clarify positive and negative views about the role of partnerships in regional economic development. My theoretical framework begins by reviewing the literature about regional development in a globally competitive economy, and identifying which actors have the power to influence outcomes in this context. I then review the literature about partnerships and argue that they enhance collective efficacy and build political capital to influence regional development. Case studies of two regions that have experienced rapid socio-economic change - the East Midlands and Leicestershire in the United Kingdom, and the Cradle Coast region in Tasmania - have been selected. Using interviews and document analysis, I examine the role of partnerships in promoting development within these regions. I contribute to knowledge by finding that these partnerships generate collective efficacy and build political capital, which in turn stimulates value creation and enhancement in these regions. The role of these partnerships is primarily shaped by the constraints of a globally competitive economy and the material interests of local civic and business leaders. I develop a theoretical framework that can help explain the association between partnerships and the economic development of regions.

This book shows, first of all, that leadership plays a crucial role in reinventing regions and branching out from an old path to something new in order to create more balanced and sustainable regional development. Second, it maintains that leadership is not a solo but a multi-agent and -level activity and that it needs to be discussed and studied as such. Third, as the book argues, leadership is shaped differently in various institutional and cultural contexts and on different scales. This book explores the ways leadership plays our in regional development context contributing to economically, socially and ecologically balanced sustainable future.

The conventional understanding of Singapore's foreign policy can be summarized in three main propositions: first, it is dictated by the imperatives of being a small state; second, its primary purpose is to ensure Singapore's survival, given its small size; and third, this logic of survival dictates a realpolitik approach to foreign policy and national security.This book argues that an exclusively realist view of Singapore's foreign policy is inadequate. Singapore's foreign policy is also shaped by the positive effects of economic interdependence and regional institution-building ? instruments that realists tend to dismiss, but which Singapore has self-consciously tried to promote as instruments of regional order. The book first looks at the evolution of Singapore's foreign policy, before analyzing Singapore's international relations and national security in the context of economic growth and terrorism. It concludes with an interesting chapter on the impact of the rise of China and India on the regional landscape.
