Governing Global Networks argues that most international regimes
are grounded in states' mutual cooperation, and not in the dictates
of the most powerful states. It focuses on the regimes for four
important international industries - shipping, air transport,
telecommunications and postal services. Of particular importance to
these regimes have been states' interests in both the free flow of
commerce and their policy autonomy. The authors examine the
relationship between these potentially conflicting goals. In
particular they trace the impact of deregulation, which has led
some states increasingly to place gains from economic openness
ahead of their desire to maintain a high degree of control of their
own economies; and to the decline of the traditional cartel
elements of these regimes. This analysis is an important
contribution to theoretical debates between neo-realists and
neo-liberals in the study of international organisations and
international political economy.
