| Abstract: | This chapter demonstrates the ways in which the political and the economic, the public and the private, and the national and the international, as well as structural relations, articulate to provide international regulation in part determining the establishment of free trade zones. In this instance, an example of international regulation has been found which serves to provide governance in the absence of a formal international government. In conclusion, this chapter assesses the implications of the analysis for the field of international organization. It is argued that economic deregulation presupposes re-regulation at the national level, and is accompanied by increasing regulation in the broad sense at the international and/or global level. This international regulation comes not just from traditional sources such as treaties and state custom and practice; it is a combination of national and international regulation, hard and soft law, explicit and implicit norms, and public and private sources, as well as institutional and structural sources. This suggests that international organization is more than intergovernmental management of the international system, and implies that global hegemony is based not just on US political power or on transnational class interests, but on a complex rearticulation of state and private power, both institutional and structural, in the global political economy. |
