The Americas in Transition:
The Contours of Regionalism
by Gordon Mace, Louis Bélanger, and contributors
The FTA, Mercosur, the Enterprise for the Americas Initiative, NAFTA, the Summit of the Americasdo these constitute building blocs in the construction of a new regional system? This book explores that question, offering an assessment of the state of regionalism in the Americas.
The authors first outline the regionalist projectwhich they view as essentially a U.S. initiativeand analyze the environment in which it has evolved. They then focus on the reactions and strategies of the various actors involved.
The final chapter of the book seeks both to articulate the present contours of regionalism in the Americas and to identify future trends.
An excellent and timely primer on the status of hemispheric integration in the Americas, and on the major issues confronting it. |
