      abstract = {This book takes a mixed-methods approach to completely  re-evaluate the regional organizations landscape. Based on  a systematic categorization of heterogeneous goals, it  identifies several regional organizations in various parts  of the world (Latin America, Africa, Middle East, Southeast  Asia, and post-Soviet Eurasia) to illustrate the most  typical cases of how particular types of regional  organizations come into existence and evolve. Chapters use  a novel large-N dataset of more than sixty regional  organizations to establish correlations between members'  goals and their characteristics. Finally, it examines the  few cases of formal dissolution of regional organizations  in the last fifty years to consider the conditions under  which all stakeholders are willing to abandon their support  for regional organizations.},
