International Regime Complexity and Governance Fragmentation
Quick fact
Climate change governance involves at least 20 major international institutions, from the UNFCCC to the World Bank and regional bodies like the EU, each with distinct rules and goals, illustrating the norm of regime complexity.
Why this is interesting
You might think global governance is a single, orderly system—but in reality, it's a tangle of overlapping institutions, each with its own rules, and that tangle is as consequential as any single treaty.
