Working as Research Assistants at the Department of Political Science and Management; Project Regions in Flux
The project, formally known as “Regions in Flux: Differentiated Disintegration and Reintegration in Regional Organisations”, is a collaboration between researchers at UiA and a partner from Aston University in Birmingham. This is in its starting phase, and it aims to increase our understanding of regional integration processes in the world. The UK’s withdrawal from the European Union has sparked interest in “voluntary exits” from regional organisations, but as it turns out it is far from the first of its kind. The project has a database of 76 regional organisations, wherein 21 of these organisations have experienced a voluntary withdrawal - totalling 49 exits.
