Oran R. Young is a key participant in recent debates among
international relations scholars about the dynamics of rule-making
and rule-following in international society. In this book, he
weaves together theoretical issues relating to the formation of
international regimes and substantive issues relating to the
emergence of the Arctic as a distinct region in world affairs.
Young divides the overall process of regime formation into three
stages -- agenda formation, negotiation, and operationalization --
and argues that each stage has its own particular political
dynamics. Efforts to explain or predict developments in specific
issue areas, he suggests, require careful attention to each stage
in the process.
Empirically, Young examines in detail the events leading to the
formation of the Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy and the
Barents Euro-Arctic Region. Although these cases exhibit the
defining characteristics of all international regimes, they broaden
our understanding of institutional arrangements that are largely
programmatic, rather than regulatory, in nature and that are based
on soft-law agreements.
