Comparing regional institutions: an introduction / Amitav Acharya and Alastair Iain Johnston -- Hanging together, institutional design and cooperation in Southeast Asia: AFTA and the ARF / Yuen Foong Khong and Helen E.S. Nesadurai -- International cooperation in Latin America: the design of regional institutions by slow accretion / Jorge I. Dominguez -- Crafting regional cooperation in Africa / Jeffrey Herbst -- Functional form, identity-driven cooperation: institutional designs and effects in post-Cold War NATO / Frank Schimmelfennig -- Designed to fail or failure of design? The origins and legacy of the Arab League / Michael Barnett and Etel Solingen -- Social mechanisms and regional cooperation: are Europe and the EU really all that different? / Jeffrey T. Checkel.

Regional institutions are an increasingly prominent feature of world politics. Their characteristics and performance vary widely: some are highly legalistic and bureaucratic, while others are informal and flexible. They also differ in terms of inclusiveness, decision-making rules and commitment to the non-interference principle. This is the first book to offer a conceptual framework for comparing the design and effectiveness of regional international institutions, including the EU, NATO, ASEAN, OAS, AU and the Arab League. The case studies, by a group of leading scholars of regional institutions, offer a rigorous, historically informed analysis of the differences and similarities in institutions across Europe, Latin America, Asia, Middle East and Africa. The chapters provide a more theoretically and empirically diverse analysis of the design and efficacy of regional institutions than heretofore available.
