'With ever new states entering the European Union, old enemies turn friends and distant countries turn neighbouring states. This is your historical and sociological trampoline for entering the higher layers of ongoing debates about European identity formation.' - Iver B. Neumann, Professor of Russian Studies, Oslo University, Norway

Constructing Regional Community and Order in Europe and Southeast Asia

von B. Rumelili
Focusing on the EU and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, this book demonstrates how collective identity depends on the construction of outsider states, such as Morocco, Turkey, and Australia, as different. It then analyzes how these regional organizations can consequently aggravate conflicts involving outsider states.
