Description:	This book deals with the role of regions in states that have undergone and continue to experience complex systemic and institutional change. This change can be characterized, on the one hand, by rapid societal and economic transformations that have accompanied a transition to democracy, a process associated by Przeworksi (1986, 1990), Bastian (1999), Crawford (1995), and others with post-socialist development in Central and Eastern Europe and democratization in Latin America. On the other hand, our concern with (New) Regionalism involves the emergence of new forms of governance that are informed by state-society paradigms currently en vogue in Europe and the Americas (Keating 2000, MacLeod 2001, Sagan and Halkier 2005, Scott 2007, Wheeler 2002). Regionalization, for the purpose of this general discussion, refers to national processes of decentralization and subnational processes of region-building with, among other things, the purpose of enhancing the effectiveness and responsiveness of governance. With regionalization, ambitious and potentially conflicting goals of democratization, economic competitiveness, environmental sustainability and social equity are being pursued.
