Spain, the European Union and Latin America: Governance and Identity in the Making of 'New' Inter-Regionalism (WP) WP 9/2002 - 8/11/2002 Jean Grugel Contemporary forms of European inter-regionalist relations with developing countries have their origins in the 1970s. The emergence of the so-called 'new regionalism' in the 1990s in response to the transformation of the global order contributed in turn to a transformation of inter-regionalism. Hanggi (2000) argues that, far from being superseded by new regionalism, multi-layered inter-regional arrangements should be understood as its corollary. Nevertheless, the 'new' inter-regionalism has so far gone relatively unexamined.
