{"product_id":"9783319705323","title":"Regional Economic Organizations and Conventional Security Challenges","description":"Within the context of regional integration, comparative regionalism, organizational change, and regional security literatures, this book investigates three cases wherein regional economic organizations were confronted with conventional security threats: the 1978-91 Association of Southeast Asian Nations-Vietnam Standoff, the 1990 Economic Community of West Africa-Liberian Civil War Challenge, and the 1990-91 European Communities-Balkans Crisis. While the literature suggests multiple possible explanations for regional economic organizations’ response to these security challenges, including systemic and power-related factors, organizational factors and functional needs, and cognitive and social factors, the author argues that the decision to transform a regional economic organization into a conventional security actor is most influenced by decision makers’ perceptions of threat and functional necessity.","brand":"Palgrave Pivot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040749601008,"sku":"9783319705323","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783319705323_p0.jpg?v=1763721275","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783319705323","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
