The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, including new regionalism theory, that supports the contention that regional integration is a socially constructed phenomenon. The book is, therefore, a valuable contribution to comparative regional integration studies. -- Jody Jensen, director of International Relations at the Institute of Social and European Studies\u003cbr\u003eIn this intellectually exciting series of essays the research team assembled by Natalie Doyle and Lorenza Sebesta reveal the diverse strands of European and inter-American ideas that advanced regional integration as a key component of modernization. We meet some familiar (and less familiar) thinkers in a new optic as we are provided a trans-Atlantic genealogy of reformist and federalist initiatives through the course of the twentieth century. -- Charles Maier, Harvard University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Interwar plans for European economic integration: an overview Pierre Tilly  and Michel Dumoulin   Chapter 2: International municipalism between the wars: local government as modernizing actors  Mariana Luna Pont  Chapter 3: Talcott Parsons, Carl J.
