	Regime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"a communist" regime", "a socialist regime, Zionist regime, "a fascist regime", or "a military regime").
		Another political use of "regime" concerns international regulatory agencies (see International regime), which lie outside of the control of national governments.
		In science, a regime can mean a particular state of affairs where a particular physical phenomenon or boundary condition is significant, such as "the superfluid regime" or "the steady state regime".

		In light of this outcome, the issue of an international regime on access and benefit-sharing was addressed as a distinct agenda item by the Inter-sessional meeting on the Multi-Year Programme of Work of the Conference of the Parties up to 2010, in March 2003.
		The Working Group prepared recommendations on the terms of reference for the negotiation of an international regime which were submitted to the Conference of the Parties at its seventh meeting in February 2004, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
		At these meetings, the Working Group began negotiations for an international regime on access to genetic resources, in accordance with decision VII/19 D of the Conference of the Parties.

	Evaluation of an International Liability Regime (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In evaluating the possibilities for an international tobacco liability regime, it is important to assess existing treaties establishing international liability regimes, not just for the content of their rules, but for the negotiating dynamics that allowed the regimes to come into existence, and their subsequent success in attracting adherence by States.
		One advantage of this regime is that it allows individual victims of harm a direct remedy without resort to inter-State claims, and it channels liability directly to the entity causing the harm, thus forcing the entity to internalize the costs of its behavior.
		The regime would identify the appropriate type of defendant, normally channeling liability to the entity owning or operating a dangerous facility or a carrier of hazardous materials, provided there is a connection between that entity and the harm suffered by the claimant.

	Tübinger Arbeitspapiere zur Internationalen Politik und Friedensforschung Nr. 31
		Students of international regimes have gathered evidence showing that this is actually the case: there are numerous instances of international regimes surviving serious challenges not as dead letters, but as effective institutions (see, e.g., Rittberger 1990; Young 1992; Ruggie 1993).
		Most students of international regimes would probably agree that regimes are created by states to further their interests (however broadly defined) and that, accordingly, regime-based cooperation, more often than not, generates net benefits to each and all of the states involved.
		International institutions can be important in that they affect the relative costs of the strategies available to states, but they do not affect the fundamental goals which states pursue.

	CDC - Emerging Trends in International Law Concerning Global Infectious Disease Control
		The role of international law in horizontal and vertical governance responses to infectious disease control is conceptualized; the historical development of international law regarding infectious diseases is described; and important shifts in how states, international institutions, and nonstate organizations use international law in the context of infectious disease control today are analyzed.
		The increased volume and speed of international trade and travel moved states from national to international governance in the mid-19th century, and the 1851 International Sanitary Conference marked the beginning of international governance on infectious diseases (11).
		States created international health organizations to facilitate horizontal cooperation in public health; however, unlike the classical regime, the organizational regime’s legal duties in regard to infectious disease control are few (14).

	OJPCR 1.1 -- The Development of the International Peacekeeping Regime and the Conflict in the Former Yu
		Negotiated regimes are characterized by "conscious efforts to agree on their major provisions, explicit consent on the part of individual participants, and the formal expression of the results" (Young 1982, 283).
		She argues regime theory overemphasizes the unchanging nature of regimes however, this paper concentrates on the change from one regime to another, avoiding this pitfall.
		These were: "the existence of a threat to international peace and security, the readiness of regional bodies to assist, the existence of a cease fire, a clear political goal which can be reflected in the mandate, a precise mandate, and reasonable assurances on the safety of U.N. personnel" (quoted in Roberts 1995, 406).

	International Regime Development: Lessons from the Rhine Catchment Area
		In less abstract terms, international regimes could be defined as "arrangements that pertain to well-defined activities, resources or geographical areas," consisting of "principles, rules, norms and decision-making procedures, around which actors’ expectations converge" (Krasner 1984, p.
		In this paper the development of the regime concerning the pollution of the river Rhine, one of the oldest of such regimes in Europe is analyzed.
		Institutional barriers for regime development first show up when a framework for discussion between the relevant national governments is lacking since the absense of a framework tends to lead to communication which is unstructured and tedious.

	Choike - CBD meeting ends with draft elements of ABS regime
		The draft elements of the international regime were formulated after strenuous efforts by developing countries and despite objections and resistance by most developed countries at the end of the ad hoc open-ended working group's meeting on Friday (3 February).
		These were on the international regime on access and benefit-sharing, issues related to an international certificate of origin/source/legal provenance, and measures to ensure compliance with prior informed consent (PIC) and mutually agreed terms.
		While the EU said an international certificate could be a key component of an international regime, it cautioned against a "one size fits all" certificate, preferring the term "internationally recognized" certificate rather than "international certificates," as agreed in the Group's Bangkok meeting in 2005.

	Maciej Bartkowski. Effectiveness of the international security regime. The case study of the OSCE involvement in Estonia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Regimes, although being international in the context of their creation, are not separated from domestic politics of the member-states engaged in cooperation within an international regime.
		Regimes, while dealing with the issues they were set up for, inevitably spill into the political and social system of a particular state.
		Analysis of the effectiveness of a regime can have several research angles, starting from the problems of a states’ compliance and implementation of the regime rules, ending with the issue of solving the problem the regime was initially set up to deal with.

	The IR Theory Knowledge Base
		An international regime is viewed as a set of implicit and explicit principles, norms, rules, and procedures around which actors' expectations converge in a particular issue-area.
		A basic idea behind international regimes is that they provide for transparent state behaviour and a degree of stability under conditions of anarchy in the international system.
		International regime analysis has been offering a meeting ground for debate between the various schools of thought in IR theory.

	Expert International Workshop on Access and Benefit-Sharing (ABS)
		The panels are encouraged to provide their views on the potential implications for negotiating an International Regime given the current level of national implementation and similarities/differences in national laws.
		Of all the mechanisms proposed as part of the International Regime, monitoring/ verification and compliance mechanisms are among the ones that have attracted the most attention.
		National or international industry codes of conduct, company certification of compliance with ABS principles/laws and/or the establishment of industry standards can have a significant contribution to ensuring compliance with national PIC systems and to supporting fair and equitable benefit-sharing with provider countries and indigenous and local communities.

	Development, Duality and the International Economic Regime
		While the second and third preceding sections of this volume discuss international technology and trade flows, the final section is devoted to the highly topical issue of international capital flows and financial policy in developing economies.
		Many of the regime issues that Hamada treats in his analysis of the international trading system re-emerge when the international financial system is examined.
		In the face of such an international financial environment, domestic financial stability is an issue of continuing concern to policymakers in developing economies.

	An International Regime Analysis of Outer Space - Questia Online Library (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		General international law alone is not sufficient to govern the exploration and use of outer space as it does not consider the specific features of space activity, or the particulars of the global commons.
		International law itself focuses on states within the international system based on earthbound divisions and expected behaviours.
		To address the legal needs of outer space the principles and norms of international space law have been developed within, and based upon, general international law.

	Management of the International Verification Machinery
		This first session of the seminar is a case study of how the issues of international management intersect with major issues of international relations.
		In this, most attention has been paid to the relationshps between the Nation-States involved, but, because the viability of the regime depends on the belief by all parties that the terms of the treaties are being followed, the verification of compliance is a central concern.

	1998 Publication List (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The purpose of this chapter is confined to focusing on the environmental prerequisites stemming from the fragility, vulnerability and functioning of the Arctic bioregion.
		The purpose is to investigate how the opening of the Northern Sea Route to international shipping may affect the bioregional interconnectedness of the Arctic and also enlarge the common interests of Arctic states in the context of the environment.
		The main weakness is its predominant orientation towards the problem of regime formation and lack of systematic attention to more recent items on the research agenda, such as regime effectiveness, institutional form and regime linkages.

	SSRN-The International Privacy Regime by Tim Wu
		The final mix of privacy protection that the world's citizens receive is disproportionately dictated by the choices and preferences of powerful nation-states and their respective effects on giant and small targets.
		Most akin to international piracy (the kind on boats), it is a familiar problem to international law that will nonetheless take considerable political will to reverse.
		And finally, while there is a potential for the international system to influence how governments handle the privacy information of their own citizens, the direct collision of interests have limited the extent to which governments police one another.

	Undermining the International Regime : False Allegations of BW Use
		The proliferation of all weapons of mass destruction constitutes a threat to international peace and security.
		The basis of the effort to prevent the proliferation or the use of biological weapons is the international BW arms control regime: the Geneva Protocol of 1925 and the Biological and Toxin Weapon Convention (BTWC) of 1975.
		The active effort by three of the permanent members of the UNSC, Russia, France and China, to end the sanctions regime mandated by UNSC Resolution 687 [1991] against Iraq, despite the continuing and blatant violation of its terms by Iraq, and the consequent collapse of the sanctions.

		They have been subject to repeated interrogations and confinement to small cells for up to 24 hours a day with minimal opportunity for exercise.
		The conditions under which they have been held raise concerns about the type of evidence that may be introduced against them if brought before military commissions, the guidelines for which do not expressly exclude statements extracted under coercion, including a coercive detention regime.
		Many of the detainees, including Feroz Abbasi and David Hicks, are believed to have been captured in Afghanistan at the time of the international conflict there.

	SSRN-Tax Havens: Renegade States in the International Tax Regime? by Lorraine Eden, Robert Kudrle
		Taxing multinational enterprises (MNEs) is inherently conflictual because national tax systems are not well designed to handle their international activities.
		The OECD has been instrumental in developing an international tax regime to govern the conflicts and interdependencies induced by national taxation of MNEs.
		The strength of this regime depends on the extent to which states adhere to the regime's norms and practices.

	Amazon.com: Governing the Internet: The Emergence of an International Regime (Ipolitics): Books: Marcus Franda (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Regime dynamics regarding e-Commerce and taxation; investment and intellectual property; content, privacy and jurisdiction are extensively discussed in the core chapters in Franda's book.
		Franda rightly points out, as is the case with every other aspect of information technology, that the Internet regime functions more effectively in some areas than others.
		When the security of sovereign states and privacy of content are involved, acute mistrust and inter-state conflict has been the norm, making it impossible to develop consistent regime rules and procedures in these subject-areas.

		The book aims to fill the conceptual gap between international relations theory and foreign policy analysis, using Germany as a case study in which to explore the changing sources of a rising power's policy preferences.
		The book argues that Germany’s foreign policy is shaped primarily by Germany’s power position on the international stage and by the state of its economy.
		Domestic politics, political culture, leadership, international institutions all contribute to German foreign policy behavior, but the principle factors at work are power and the state of the economy.
