The book informs academic as well as non-academic audiences about regional developments in the Americas, in particular those dating back to the last twenty years. Beyond the primary purpose of summarizing the hemisphere's recent trends, the book also brings clarification in a detailed but easy to understand way about timely issues regarding the institutionalisation, or lack thereof, of the plethora of regional and sub-regional bodies that have emerged in this hemisphere over the past couple of decades.
'This re-mapping of the regional politics of the Americas has been deftly undertaken by an able team of scholars working in the Americas. The outcome is a considered, and up-to-date, assessment of contemporary trends in the international politics of this changing region. The late Henry Gill, to whose memory the book is dedicated, would have read it with interest and delight.' Anthony Payne, University of Sheffield, UK 'A veritable tour de force of key trends that are reshaping a continent, and of how the new regionalism in the Americas is holding up. A must-read for those who want to understand the complex interaction between the Western Hemisphere and global order.' Jorge Heine, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada
