Abstract
This chapter offers a brief overview of the book’s contents. Twelve chapters focus on the regional level of analysis in order to argue that this level of analysis is both underdeveloped and deserving of more study. Substantively, the additional foci of the chapters centers on political conflict in the first half of the book and sources of order in the second half.
