PPAD 000/5225 - Regionalism and Regional Integration (3 cr.)
Prerequisites
Admission in the Master in Global Affairs (MGA) program. having taken PPAD 5251 is advisable but not a per-requisite.
Description
The course is about regionalism and regional integration. Regionalism is understood as policies and projects whereby groups states and non-state actors cooperate and coordinate strategy, whether within a given geographical region or not, with the aim of pursuing and promoting common goals in one or more issue areas. Under “New Regionalism”, regionalist schemes cover issues of economic, social, cultural and, in some cases, security nature. As they display great diversity, the course will review the different expressions contemporary regionalism has taken up, which reflect diverse conditions, values and ideological approaches. The review will be carried out against the background of the global system since it is considered that regionalism is a response to globalization and a reaction to the diverse aspects of global processes. The course is also about regional integration, which indicates processes in given regions extending from close intergovernmental cooperation between “sovereign” states to integration as such, involving the creation of new organizational or supranational entity. After a conceptual introduction, regionalism in Europe, the Arab Middle East and Africa, as well as in Latin America and Asia will be examined.
