| Summary/Abstract |
This article looks at regime complexes from a state policymaking perspective. It develops a theoretical model in which regime complexes become
denser over time while governmental policymaking becomes more coherent. Underthis model, interactions between globalregime complexes and
national policymaking are twofold. On the one hand, greater policy coherence generates negotiated mandates asking for regime connections
and complex density. On the other hand, regime-complex density creates
more cohesive audiences, which increase incentives for national policy coherence. This co-adjustments model bringsstatesinto the discussion ofinstitutional interactions and critically questions the desirability and
feasibility of recent calls for joined-up government and whole-of-government approaches.
