Summary

The New World Architecture explores the contribution that the European Union is making to the emerging global governance system. It discusses the theoretical and historical aspects of European integration within the framework of the emerging regional EU and global governance systems. Three regimes of governance that are contributing to holding together the new emerging EU multilevel governance system are also explored. None of these is complete; all are partial. They include the political regime of governance; the socioeconomic regime of governance; and the territorial regime of governance. Magone assesses the impact of the European Union on global politics and argues that within the next twenty-five years global governance may and should emerge as the new and reconfigured stable system of international relations.
