Methodological Issues in the Study of Broader Consequences Exploring Regime Interaction International Regimes and Democracy Into the Methodological Void Regimes and Social Transformation Research Strategies for the Future, Why are some international regimes more effective or more successful than others? What theoretical models and empirical methods are most useful in answering this question? This book provides a systematic assessment of the state of the art in studies of regime effectiveness as well as a sophisticated analysis of the range of techniques available for the conduct of research in this area, Print version record, Contributing Authors -- Preface -- 1.
