In: International organization, Band 41, Heft Summer 87

Abstract

Provides a critical review of the regimes literature. Surveys contending definitions of regimes, suggests dimensions along which regimes vary over time or across cases, examines 4 approaches to regime analysis. Concludes that the major shortcoming of the literature is its failure to incorporate domestic politics adequately. Suggests a possible research programme. (Abstract amended)
