05 Regime Theory

Regime theory, a subset of liberal theory, posits that foreign organizations or governments influence state actions and emphasizes the necessity of collaboration in an anarchic international system. It argues that compromise can occur despite disorder, highlighting areas such as trade cooperation and human rights as forms of collaboration known as regimes. While primarily a liberal concept, some realist theorists propose hybrid perspectives that acknowledge teamwork but view it as less common.

Regime theory

Regime theory is a subset of liberal theory that contends that foreign organisations or
governments control state actions (or other international actors). It implies that collaboration is
necessary in an anarchic structure of states; indeed, systems are instances of foreign cooperation
by design.

Although realism assumes that war would be the rule in foreign affairs, regime theorists claim
that compromise will occur even in the face of disorder. They also mention, among other things,
trade cooperation, human rights, and collective protection. This forms of collaboration are
referred to as regimes. Regimes are described as "principles, norms, rules, and decision-making
procedures on which actor expectations converge in a given issue-area" by Stephen Krasner, who
describes them as "principles, norms, rules, and decision-making procedures around which actor
expectations converge in a given issue-area."

However, not all responses to regime theory are liberal or neoliberal; several realist theorists,
such as Joseph Grieco, have established hybrid perspectives that take a realist viewpoint on this
essentially liberal theory. (Realists don't claim teamwork doesn't happen; it really isn't the norm;
it's a question of degree.)
