This book focuses on interregional relations across the Atlantic
and the possible evolution of a new, distinctive Atlantic space
for international relations. It provides a comprehensive insight
into the overlapping linkages of interregionalism in the wider
Atlantic space. Additionally, it raises the question of
relevance, currently the main question in this field of research:
Is interregionalism important because it brings about something
new that really matters or is it simply a (perhaps unavoidable)
by-product of regionalism? The book conducts an analysis of six
interregional relations criss-crossing the Atlantic space,
accounting for the multitude of interregional connections within
a potential Atlantic macro region and analysing the differences,
conflicts and convergences between regional organizations. It
engages with the issue of agency in interregional relations, and
argues that interregional processes and agendas are always driven
and constructed by certain actors for certain purposes.
