Essay 51: Regionalism’s Post-Soviet Eurasian Challenge: A Critical Perspective on Comparative Regionalism
摘要
This essay addresses the challenges posed by the post-Soviet region to comparative regionalism, critically analysing its depiction in academic literature. While comparative regionalism has provided a valuable critique of EU-centric approaches to regional integration, it is essential to evaluate whether these analyses have transcended the liberal hegemonic framework that dominates much of the field. Post-Soviet Eurasia, with its diverse models of regional cooperation, presents a unique opportunity to explore alternative forms of integration that diverge from Western ideals.
