Abstract

In the emerging constellation of post-Cold War forces, we are witnessing the transformation of traditional state structures, the rise of new regions detached from global institutions, the erosion of the influence of traditional institutions of global governance including the UN and the renewed importance of social, economic and political movements within and across states.1 In this context, new regional bodies sit between state sovereignty and global governance, but the relationships among these institutions are in a dynamic stage and much of this interaction remains unclear.
