2 SUMMARY
a) The key concepts in this section are:
b) In the section “From cooperation and integration to governance”
Tanja A. Börzel discusses how “Governance is not a theory, but provides
an analytical framework for systematic and organized comparison,
which does not privilege certain types of actors, institutions, or modes
of coordination.”.1 Indicating that this framework can capture varieties
of regionalism. The text provides three kinds of institutionalized rule
formations: hierarchy, market, and networks. These rules can be
coordinated in hierarchical or non-hierarchical approaches, based on
voluntary or unvoluntary agreements. Furthermore, Börzel explains
how biases toward state-led institutionbuilding cause ignorance of
regional cooperation and integration varieties. She builds upon this by
describing how governance is instead focused on coordinating actions
via formal and informal norms, rules, and procedures.
