KFG Research Project
"Analyzing "Ideational Hegemony": The European Union's Influence on Global Regionalism"
The project seeks to analyze the EU’s influence on regional integration processes in the global South, comparing ASEAN, Mercosur and SADC. It addresses the puzzle of the differential impact of the EU model on regionalism abroad and asks about the mechanisms by which that influence comes about.
