Talk:Regionalism (international)

[edit] Bad title
The topic of this article is basically continentalism. The content should be moved there. Regionalism, as I understand it more often refers to arguing for decentralization within countries. (i.e. regionalism in Spain, state's rights in the US, separatism in Canada, etc.) Kevlar67 18:18, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- Mmmmm ... Not exactly, it is an established term in international politics and international economics.--Yannismarou 18:37, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

- Well I can't speak to academic usage, in but in general Canadian English, this is certainly true. In any case the article on continentalism pretty much describes the Canadian view poin on what on this page is called "regionalism". That begs the question of whether they should be merged or just linked to. Kevlar67 00:43, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Usage on WP
So I did a quick survey of pages that link to regionalism (the disambig page). The following pages use it in my context. Ecuador, New Deal, Political spectrum, Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Xiongnu, Hindutva, Skåneland, Revolutions of 1848 in the German states, Falange, Spirit (Belgium), Carlism, Northern League (Italy), Ticino League.
The only page I found that used it in the other context was "Foreign relations of Australia". This is obviously not all the links that exist, but I decided to stop when the results seemed so lopsided. I'd say the evidence is overwhealming that this article is missnamed.

- Whatever you say may be true! I just say another thing: "Regionalism" as a term is one of the most "trendy" terms in international economics and international relations. I can cite a whole series of books and articles. Just read the recent article on "The Economist", such as its survey "In the Twilight of Doha", or Wilfred Ethier's "The International Commercial System".
- "Continentalism" may be a term also used, but it is definitely not the correct term for international economics and international trade. "Regionalism" in world trade is one of the main three poles of a system: unilateralism, multilateralism and regionalism. There is also a long bibliography about "regionalism" and "new regionalism". And in Google Book I had also found a series of books about international politics treating regionalism. EU, for instance, is presented as a characteristic example of regionalism (and in this case I did not met the term "continentalism").--Yannismarou 19:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

The result of the proposal was Move.--Húsönd 04:09, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Regionalism (politics) → Regionalism (international) — This article uses the word only in context of international relations. Another page can then be created for regionalism within states. Kevlar67 02:04, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey - in support of the move
- Support move so that we can disambiguate between regionalism between states and regionalism within states. Kevlar67 02:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support "Regionalism (politics)" is too generic, "Regionalism (international relations)" would be much more precise and would allow a different page for intra-state regionalism. SFinamore 18:41, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support.--Yannismarou 18:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
