Regimes
Philosophy 1972: Foucault (Regimes of Truth)
Political Science 1975/1982: Krasner / Keohane / Nye
(International Regime Theory)
Regime Theory
“Regimes can be defined as sets of implicit or explicit principles, norms, rules, and decision-making procedures around which actors’ expectations converge”
Krasner, 1982
Regime Theory (continued)
Principles: beliefs of fact, causation, and rectitude
Norms: standards for behavior defined in terms of rights and obligations
Rules: specific prescriptions or proscriptions for action
Decision-making procedures: prevailing practices for making and implementing collective choice
Krasner, 1982
