Abstract

Regional integration has progressed significantly in Europe and North America since the 1990s. This phenomenon is called “regionalism” in international political science. Another type of regionalism, at the domestic level within nation-states, has gained vitality as well because of increasing transborder economic activity. Meanwhile socioeconomic development is leading to a relative increase in the political relevancy of regions and transnational agencies at the expense of nation-states. To distinguish the two types of regionalism, the progress of domestic regionalism is referred to as “new regionalism”. This new regionalism has characteristics that differentiate it from provincialism as it developed in Western Europe in the twentieth century (Keating 1998, 73, 115).
