(Lake, 2009) Philip Nel, in "Introduction: special section on regional powers in a changing global order" refers to the fact that the structure and governance of the world order is changing in a way that traditional organizations such as the Bretton Woods, the World Bank (WB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are facing changes, influenced by the new developments in the international system.
Consistent with notable developments in the regions’ progress and regional cooperation based on trade, security, and political agreements and increase of the regions’ role in the redistribution of power in international order, this article highlights the role of the regions and regional powers to establish a regional order and so to influence world order.
The regional hegemon or power is capable of taking the role of regulating the regional policies, defining and keeping track of the benefits and threats, establishing the security, peace, and cooperation in the region, and ultimately creating a distinctive regional order that, as per the new features of distribution of power in the international system, influences the world order or management and its components.
In fact, states have concluded that regions and regional powers may have access to the international structure, resources and communities and contribute to the distribution of power and World order in line with their interests, simply through establishment of regional stability, security, cooperation, and peace.
