Introduction
Résumé
Interest in the role of International Parliamentary Institutions (IPIs) remains extremely limited, especially if one considers their growth in the international relations of a globalizing-cum-regionalizing world. Indeed, much work has been published on the new world order that is slowly — and painfully — emerging since the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Empire in the seminal years of 1989–1991. In brief, there is a parliamentarization of regionalization and globalization that deserves the attention of the academic world.
