Document Summary
Coordination realist say that there is only coordination problems in regimes. Coordination problem there are multiple options and cooperation is necessary to arrive at the same choice. Powerful actors are able to make the choice or influence the choice of option. Liberals say it"s not just coordination but you will also see collaboration regimes. Collaboration problems - actors have different interests but have mutual gains. Since, we don"t trust each other we both get weapons. The solution to this collaboration problem is to set up rules and interactions that will build trust. Looking at the stages to get a regimes. Issue definition - to have a regime, you have to define the issue. This is a problem that needs international relations to solve: for example, climate change issue. In the 1980s, they set up an international interaction panel on climate change. Ipcc usually gets reports that redefine the issue.
