Understanding regional peace and security: a framework for analysisFootnote1

1. This article has benefited from comments received by Björn Hettne, Fredrik Söderbaum, Daniel Pinéu, Elzbieta Stadtmüller, and from participants in a seminar on regional security held at the United Nations University (UNU-CRIS), Bruges, Belgium, in 2007. I also acknowledge the grant provided by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) to carry out research on regional security.
