Abstract
The methodological side of comparative regionalism has often been minimized. The adoption of a political sociology approach involves rethinking the research strategy in depth and drawing a more qualitative, even inductive, framework of research. That enables us to start from the ground up to better understand the functioning, outputs and outcomes of regionalism. The data-collection effort on actors’ relationships, their social characteristics, collective beliefs as well as daily practices, is at stake in this chapter.
