Niemann (international studies, Trinity College) challenges the traditional manner in which regionalization has been approached and suggests that the failure to come to grips with the phenomenon is the result of the modernist relegation of space to margins of analysis. He advances an alternative approach which views space as a social construct and traces the emergence of modern states as one of multiple layers of a global social space, then applies this model to southern Africa and Latin America. He proposes that regions may also serve as space for counterhegemonic mobilization. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
