CEVAP:

Both the acceleration of regional integration and the economic and political rise of regions have renewed interest in theories of regionalism.
• The first wave of regionalism theories such as functionalism, transactionalism, neofunctionalism, and intergovernmentalism have tried to understand old regionalism in post-war Europe.
• The new regionalism, on the other hand, is not specific to Europe. It refers to “the current ideology of regionalism, i.e. the urge for a regionalist order either in a geographical area or as a type of world order” (Hettne and Söderbaum, 2000:
457).
