Schirm argues that this new regionalism is essentially aresult of the impact of globalization on domestic politics. The increasing transnational mobility of private economic actors alters the costs and benefits of economic policy options for governments as well as the interests of domestic groups. Globalization stimulates economic reforms whose economic efficiency and political acceptability are increased through regional cooperation. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlobalization and the New Regionalism\u003c\/i\u003e is innovative in three aspects: it offers a new theoretical approach to integration theory; it develops a distinct interpretative model for the impact of globalization on states; and it compares systematically the influence of globalization and the preferences for cooperation cross-regionally in Europe and the Americas.
