The instability of globalization
A new wave of protectionism is threatening the open and cooperative international order. This paper applies evolutionary game theory to analyze the stability of international trade cooperation. Global trade liberalization is modeled as an iterated prisoner’s dilemma between all possible pairs of WTO member states. Empirical data are used to model the sizes and competitiveness of the respective markets, which then determine the resulting gains and…
The region that isn't
The failure of regionalism in Central Asia is a puzzle. Whereas almost all world regions have seen a rise of regional organisations since the end of the Cold War, attempts to establish durable regional cooperation among Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan proofed unsuccessful. Although some of the Central Asian countries participate in wider regional organisations like the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the Shangha…

A missed opportunity for regionalism
Regional organisations in Africa have not managed to form coherent coalitions while negotiating about Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) with the European Union (EU). Either the membership of EPA groups is not congruent with the membership of existing regional organisations, or crucial member states refuse to sign the EPAs and put their regions’ unity at risk. We argue that these problems are due to the differentiated trade rules of the EU, w…
Financial crises as catalysts for regional cooperation? Chances and obstacles for financial integration in Asean+3, Mercosur and the eurozone
This article compares and analyses the different answers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations+3 (ASEAN+3), Mercado Común del Dur (MERCOSUR) and the eurozone on financial crises in their respective regions. All three regions were hit by economic turmoil between 1997 and 2012, but whereas ASEAN+3 and the eurozone answered with establishing regional liquidity arrangements (RLAs) in order to fight future crises, financial cooperation did n…
Regional Powers as Leaders or Rambos? The Ambivalent Behaviour of Brazil and South Africa in Regional Economic Integration
The behaviour of regional powers towards their own regions is often volatile in the developing world, which leads to unstable integration processes. This article argues that this volatility is due to limited intra‐regional gains from regional integration in developing regions, which implies that the behaviour of regional powers is constrained by extra‐regional economic interests. When regional integration is not in conflict with extra‐regional in…
Different Paths of Regional I ntegration
This article argues that regional integration can follow three different developmental paths, depending on the centrality of external economic actors and economic asymmetries in regional trade networks. The first path causes intra‐regional interdependence, the second path reinforces dependence on extra‐regional actors, and the third path reinforces asymmetries in the region. The article illustrates this argument using diachronic network visualiza…
Supranational regulatory agencies between independence and control
The European Medicines Agency (EMEA) represents a new type of\nsupranational regulation. Formally, it merely advises the Commission and a member\nstate committee on the authorization of pharmaceuticals. In practice, however, it\ndominates decision-making and operates much like an independent agency. Based\nupon a brief discussion of the merits of independent regulation and the necessity\nto control regulatory activities, the article explores the …
Thalidomide, BSE and the single market
The success of the European Union in regulating the safety of products in the single market differs widely. In the last decade, the regulatory regime for pharmaceuticals has functioned without raising public concerns. The establishment of a European agency for pharmaceuticals in the early 1990s has been evaluated positively by both producers and consumers, and there have been no large scandals so far. At the same time, the food sector was subject…
Risk regulation in the EU between interests and expertise
This article analyses decision-making within the EU's committee system for BSE regulations during the latest phase of the mad cow scandal between Spring 2000 and Spring 2001. As the empirical analysis shows, the two concepts which dominate the academic discussion - the principal-agent theory and the concept of deliberative supranationalism - each focus on different committees within this complex institutional framework. While the principal-agent …
