Synopsis

Transitional Phase of International Political Regimes


What is political regime?
A political regime is a set of political structures that make up a state. A political regime may also
be known as a form of government, a state system, or a political system. The term political
regime may also sometimes refer to a specific ruler or set of rulers within a political system.
There are many different types of political regime in the modern world, and many more have
existed historically. These range from the directly-democratic political regime of Anarchism to
totalitarian regimes such as Military Dictatorships or Fascism.

Regime Theory
Regime theory is a theory within international relations derived from the liberal tradition that
argues that international institutions or regimes affect the behavior of states (or other
international actors). It assumes that cooperation is possible in the anarchic system of states, as
regimes are by definition instances of international cooperation.
