It includes the World Reports on Regional Integration, published in collaboration with other UN agencies, but it is also open for theoretical, methodological and empirical contributions from academics and policy-makers worldwide. Book proposals will be reviewed by an International Editorial Board. The series editors are particularly interested in book proposals dealing with: – comparative regionalism; – comparative work on regional organizations; – inter-regionalism; – the role of regions in a multi-level governance context; – the interactions between the UN and the regions; – the regional dimensions of the reform processes of multilateral institutions; – the dynamics of cross-border micro-regions and their interactions with supra- national regions; – methodological issues in regionalism studies. Accepted book proposals can receive editorial support from UNU-CRIS for the preparation of manuscripts. Please send book proposals to: [email protected] and lvanlangenhove@ cris.unu.edu.

Printed on acid-free paper This Springer imprint is published by Springer Nature The registered company is Springer International Publishing AG The registered company address is: Gewerbestrasse 11, 6330 Cham, Switzerland Acknowledgements This edited volume constitutes one of the many results of ATLANTIC FUTURE, a research project funded by the European Union Seventh Framework Programme under the grant agreement no. 320091. The foremost acknowledgment thus goes to the steady support of the European Commission to academic research on regional- ism and interregionalism in a geographic area that has received less public and scholarly attention in the context of what has been predicted to become an ‘Asian Century’. The Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB) coordinated the ATLANTIC FUTURE project and its consortium of 13 research institutes from all Atlantic shores. CIDOB has been a dependable and supportive partner from the initial conception of the theme to the final delivery of the contributions. In particu- lar, Laia Tarragona, Paula de Castro and Jordi Bacaria are to be wholeheartedly thanked for their superb commitment to the project. Crucial to the Atlantic dimension and the collaborative nature of our endeavour were three project meetings and workshop sessions that took place in 2014 and 2015 at the University of Pretoria (South Africa), at the Fundação Getulio Vargas (Brazil) and at the University of Lisbon (Portugal). The key findings were first dis- seminated to the public at one of the ATLANTIC FUTURE’s final events in December 2015 at Johns Hopkins University (USA). All four hosting institutions excelled in organising the logistics and in facilitating an equally productive and enjoyable environment. Special thanks go to our project leader in Pretoria, Lorenzo Fioramonti, for his persistent encouragement and acumen throughout our work, as well as to the entire team at the Centre for the Study of Governance Innovation (GovInn) for their col- laboration and advice on all ends. Many thanks also need to be extended to the advisory board of the ATLANTIC FUTURE for their input at various stages and to the external and internal reviewers, who dedicated their time and expertise to pro- viding valuable criticism on draft chapters. The editorial team at our publisher is greatly appreciated for the final work on the manuscript. I express my personal thanks to Andréas for his diligent coediting that always took place in a context of dedicated collegiality and, more importantly, sincere v vi Acknowledgements friendship. Moreover, I acknowledge the support to my own work within the post- doc programme of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Finally, my greatest gratitude cannot but go to Gaia for her never-ending motivation and companionship.
