Abstract
This contribution discusses Ian Taylor’s article on ‘Globalization and regionalization in Africa: reactions to attempts at neo-liberal regionalism’ and what it reflects about Taylor’s contributions to the study of African politics and international relations for three reasons in particular: the re-conceptualisation of regionalism in the twenty-first century; the power and politics of regionalisation and space; and, finally, the potential of the applied policy implications of Taylor’s research.
