Chapter 6 presents almost the opposite scenario; here, states surrender significant parts of their capabilities to transnational systems of institutions (EU, NAFTA, WTO, ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) and so on) in order to help develop public control, albeit at a higher institutional level. At the same time, regions position themselves autonomously in the world economy and ‘the global community’. The state, in sum, conducts a low- key type of governance while allowing for other regimes to increase their control.
