Leadership in Regional Community-Building

Abstract

The Conclusion examines the key findings and main arguments of the book, and explains how they substantiate the hypothesis. It demonstrates that political leadership is an essential factor in the success of regional community-building. Political leadership can make policies, events, or agreements happen, or prevent something from happening, and thus can either be the driver of, or impediment to, regional community-building efforts. It also presents suggestions for further research.
