We assume that the ideas, interests and strategies of regional powers are highly significant variables, with the power to influence foreign policy. Yet while comparative research projects involving OECD-countries are fairly common, comparative research integrating developing regions is still rare, despite the fact that these countries are among the key actors of the twenty-first century. This collection emphasizes the role of regional powers in intra-regional, interregional and global contexts, analyzing the rise of regional powers from a comparative perspective. In so doing, the book explains how these powers have power to shape regional and global politics.

This volume explains how ideas, interests and strategies of regional powers shape regional and global politics. While comparative research projects involving OECD-countries are by now fairly common, comparative research integrating developing regions is still the exception. This is despite the fact that the countries concerned are seen to be among the key actors of the 21st century. This collection emphasises the role of regional powers in intra-regional, interregional and global contexts. Specific questions concerning the rise of regional powers are analysed from a comparative perspective. -- Contents: Introduction; Regional Powers and the Global System from a Historical Perspective / Andrew Hurrell; I.
