The United Nations University Series on Regionalism, launched by UNU-CRIS and Springer, offers a platform for innovative work on (supra-national) regionalism from a global and inter-disciplinary perspective. It includes the World Reports on Regional Integration, published in collaboration with other UN agencies, but it is also open for theoretical, methodological and empirical contributions from academics and policy-makers worldwide. Book proposals will be reviewed by an International Editorial Board. The series editors are particularly interested in book proposals dealing with: –– –– –– –– –– –– ––

Accepted book proposals can receive editorial support from UNU-CRIS for the preparation of manuscripts. Please send book proposals to:[email protected] and lvanlangenhove@ cris.unu.edu. More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/7716
