Among the most significant of those signed, on account of their complexity, depth and the size and development level of the economies involved, are the USSFTA, the ASEAN FTA (AFTA),2 the Republic of Korea-Chile FTA, the JSEPA, the ASEAN- 1 Information taken from the WTO web site as of October 12, 2004. [...] It is also negotiating a free trade agreement with the six states of the Gulf Cooperation Council, and with the four states of Mercosur - the common market of the Southern Cone. [...] The results of this original survey, coupled with a survey of the literature, will provide a foundation for the next section, which will try to outline the major implications of the rush to regionalism for sustainable development. [...] This was used in all the post-NAFTA FTAs signed by the US, and has also been adopted in the Singapore-Australia FTA and the Korea-Chile FTA, though not in AFTA or the JSEPA. [...] The results of this survey and the analysis in the preceding section will be used in the following section as the basis for an analysis of the implications of regionalism in trade and investment for sustainable development.

Regionalism and World Order assesses the origins, significance and likely evolution of the trend towards regionalism within the world order. It analyses how states have been responding to the end of US hegemony and assesses the extent to which new regional blocs are emerging and their nature. These questions are analysed through detailed case studies of the three most advanced regions of the world economy - the Americas, the European Union, and East Asia - firstly from the standpoint of the core' state or states, and secondly from that of the peripheral' states.

From the late nineteenth century to the late twentieth century the European banking sector experienced countless mergers and acquisitions. The outcome of this century of consolidation is strikingly similar across the continent, with the banking sector of each country now dominated by a handful of giant banking corporations. Consolidation and concentration trends in banking was the theme of the Academic Archive Colloquium of the European Association for Banking History held in Madrid in June 1997. This volume is comprised of the 18 papers and responses presented at the Colloquium by a truly international group of delegates. Some of the themes explored in the book include: the significance of mergers for bank archives; the regulation of mergers and their impact on banking legislation; reactions to consolidation from within and without the banking industry; case studies of particular mergers and their impact on the wider banking community. Youssef Cassis's introductory chapter provides a general survey of trends in the consolidation process and suggests that the advent of the Euro may herald a new era in the history of European banking consolidation.

In recent years, it has become apparent that South-South economic relations are increasing, and will continue to do so. There will be more trade agreements and more trade, more economic alliances and more political alliances with economic goals, more investment flows and an increasing acknowledgement that the Global South has more to offer than it has in the past. These new economics relations have great potential, both for harm and for good. In the absence of directed policies and intentional actors, imbalances of power and growing gaps in development will persist. With the right policies in place, however, these relationships could forge a new global order with greater economic and political equality. Covering a wide range of topics, including regional trade integration in Africa, the environmental impact of increased South-South trade, the changing patterns of South-South investment, and the effect of conflict on trade in South Asia, this ground-breaking volume presents an analysis of South-South economic relations, and how they might impact and be impacted by the rest of the world.
