Most of the functions attached to inter- and transregional fora are still theoretically deduced and lack sound empirical evidence. Further empirical research must particularly focus on the interaction between inter- and transregional fora with global fora: the mechanisms of interaction, the topics discussed, the modes of decision-making and the reliability of non-binding agreements incurred at these interaction levels.1 vol.application/pdfen-AUAuthor/s retain copyrightglobalizationbilateral interregionalismtransregionalismsubregional relationsstate-to-state relationsfragmentationseparatisminstitutionalismactornessnew regionalismASEAN-EUASEMAPEC
