Abstract
Has the proliferation and strengthening of regimes in recent decades begun to have measurable consequences, not just in the specific arena of individual regimes, but more broadly? A premise of this book is that they almost certainly have, but that we have not yet developed empirical tools for identifying those consequences. The charge for this chapter is to consider how we might actually measure some of the “broad consequences” of regimes.
