Regime Consequences

Abstract

Studies of regime consequences wrestle with a wide range of more or less complex questions. Some of these pertain to single regimes, others to sets or even universes of regimes. Most studies focus on consequences defined in terms of success in coping with the specific problem that a particular regime has been designed to solve or alleviate. But analysts as well as policy-makers have come to recognize that many international regimes have important consequences well beyond their designated domains. These broader consequences can be traced in other substantive issue-areas as well as in the nature of domestic political institutions and processes and in the structure of the international political system. Table 14.1 offers a crude map of the field.
