Abstract
This chapter seeks to assess the actual and potential contributions of regionalism to the achievement of such widely affirmed world order values as peace, social justice, human rights, democracy (Falk, 1975, 1992, 1995a). This assessment proceeds by way of discussing in an introductory section, several main features of the global setting that have achieved prominence, initially in the immediate aftermath of the Cold War, and now modified by the response to the September 11 attacks on the United States as combined with the trials and tribulations of world capitalism.
This chapter has its origins in Falk (1999). It is considerably revised and updated in light of recent changes in the global setting.
