Forming a line of linkage and transition between national orders and the international order, regional structures influence, and are influenced by, these orders. Regional structures that accommodate sub-components of geopolitical, geo-economic and geo-cultural lines are sometimes unifying, sometimes divisive, but always dynamic in terms of their order-forming mission. While this dynamism plays a seminal role in the formation of order when appraised with an inclusive approach, it can also lay the ground for regional chaos in conditions of exclusionary polarization.

The seventh chapter of the book discusses the possibility and conditions of an inclusive regional governance under the light of lessons from recent regional initiatives of Turkey (Platform for Neighbors of Iraq, Syria-Israeli Peace talks and Tehran Agreement) and recommends the following principles of stability: shared destiny/common security, high level political dialogue, economic interdependence and cultural pluralism and co-existence.
