Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- [Book:] This volume features up-to-date studies of regional integration efforts in all major parts of the world, especially North America, South America, and East Asia. Comparisons are drawn between these efforts and those made in the EU, where integration has progressed much further. The book asks: what explains the variation in achievements? What kind of agreements and institutions are needed to produce regional integration? Is 'pooling and delegation' of sovereignty necessary to overcome 'collective action problems'? How important is regional leadership? This work is a major new contribution to the literature on regional integration, and will appeal to theorists, policymakers, students and other readers concerned about world developments. It will also be of value to courses covering international political economy, international relations and regional integration, at both undergraduate and graduate level.

New Directions in Globalization Indices
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper discusses the measurement of globalization with a view to advancing the construction of globalization indices. It critically analyzes the types of indices that can contribute to knowledge and policy on globalization. Three issues are particularly highlighted: (a) the focus of measurement (i.e. on activities or policies); (b) the dimensions of measurement (i.e. cultural, ecological, economic, political, and/or social); and (c) the units of measurement (i.e. local, national, regional, and/or global). This paper argues that a workable forward strategy should not seek to identify the single best composite globalization index, but rather should work in an interdisciplinary mode towards a set of complementary globalization indices. These quantitative analyses can then be productively blended with qualitative approaches in a fuller assessment of globalization's extent and impact.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Interregionalism is deeply rooted in the foreign policies and external relations of the EU. Interregional cooperation today not only encompasses trade and aid but also political dialogue, cultural relations and even security cooperation. This chapter shows that the diversity and change in EU interregionalism require us to shift focus away from the conventional concern with formal relationships between two regional organizations (‘pure interregionalism’) to more complex, hybrid and multi-actor forms of interregional interactions, which helps us to understand the close links between regions and varities of interregionalism. Progress in the field require that we go beyond the current EU-centricity dominating the field. Increasing the comparative element will help us to develop more general theoretical understandings of interregionalism while still understanding what is specific to the EU. The chapter also underlines the need to go beyond the current idealism dominating the field and also improve our understanding of the asymmetric relationships that often characterise interregional relations involving the EU.

The Problem of Comparison in Comparative Regionalism
- 2013

Ingår i: Regionalism, 4 vol set of Sage Library of International Relations, edited by Philippe De Lombaerde and Fredrik Söderbaum. - London : SAGE. - 9781446257180

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- There is virtually no systematic debate on the fundamentals of comparative research in the study of international regionalism. The field of research is very fragmented and there is a lack of interaction between EU studies and regionalism in the rest of the world. There is also a lack of communication between scholars from various theoretical standpoints and research traditions. Related to these two divides is the tension between idiographic and nomothetic methodologies. The purpose of this article is to contribute to the largely neglected debate on how to conduct and address three interrelated problems: a conceptual, a theoretical and a methodological one. Our claim is that the future of comparative regionalism should be one where old divides are bridged. This requires a combination of conceptual rigor, theoretical eclecticism, and sounder empirical research methods.
