| Abstract | Regional transformation has emerged as a major topic of research during the past few decades, much of it seeking to understand how a region changes into a zone of conflict or cooperation and how and why some regions remain in perpetual conflict. Although the leading theoretical paradigms of international relations have something to say about regional order, a comprehensive treatment of this subject is missing from the literature. This book suggests that cross-paradigmatic engagement on regional orders can be valuable if it can generate theoretically innovative, testable propositions and policy-relevant ideas. The book brings together scholars from the dominant IR perspectives aiming to explain the regional order issue through multidimensional and multi-causal pathways and seeking meeting points between them. Using insights from IR theory, the contributors offer policy-relevant ideas which may benefit conflict-ridden regions of the world. |

Summary reprinted by permission of Cambridge University Press How do different regions change into zones of conflict or cooperation? How and why do some regions remain in perpetual conflict? This book provides a comprehensive treatment of regional transformation, offering insights from a range of perspectives in order to generate theoretically innovative, testable propositions and policy-relevant ideas. |
