| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Understanding the impact ofregime complexes on global governance calls
for creative policy thinking. This introduction provides a new and more
precise definition of the concept of regime complex. It also suggests specific tools to characterize regime complexes and analyze their impacts on
global governance. The articles in this issue deepen the analytical understanding of complexes by examining concrete examplesin various domains
of global governance such as piracy, taxation, energy, food security, emissions reduction, carbon sinks, biosafety, and refugee governance. In addition to providing an in-depth description of a variety of different regime
complexes, this issue is innovative on three accounts: (1) it presents complexes as both barriers and opportunities for global governance and gives
explanations for these diverse outcomes; (2) it shows how a broad spectrum of actors is necessary for understanding the creation and evolution
of complexes; and (3)it qualifiesformer claimsto the effectthat only powerful actors can impact regime complexes. institutional density. |
