CEVAP:

The regime theory is also an outgrowth of neoliberal institutionalism in 1980s, (neglecting those scholars that accept it totally in the realist tradition). Neoliberalism argues that international organizations and regimes build a system of rules and conventions for cooperation and the punishment of defectors, as a result creating an environment where all participants gain from the subject cooperation (van de Haar, 2009, 144). Institutionalists are less idealistic than internationalists and put more emphasis on cooperation through regimes and institutions. The regime theory puts forth that social institutions govern the actions in the international arena. These rules or formal agreements make the international arena more predictable and less anarchic, more pluralist in terms of actors and less war prone. International regimes are principles, norms, rules and procedures that regulate relations and are analytical constructs associated with governmental and non-governmental organizations (Viotti &Kauppi, 2012, 145). There are realist, liberal (institutionalist) and constructive (cognitive) regime theories.
