Explainations to Regime Change

Technological advancement leads to increase in international regimes and more advanced
When power of states change rules in international regimes also change
- The winner/more powerful controls the regime change
- The hegemonial system may use this to its own collapse
Limitations
- Explaining regime change using only power is only one part of the story
  - Applies to Cold War more
  - There are other factors: domestic politics, interests, issues
  - lack of differentiation of power among areas

There are no linkage among issue areas
The strong in the area makes the rules
- States will pursue national interest, but the strong will dominate
Limitations

Set of networks, norms, and institutions, once established, will be difficult abolish
Limitation:
- IO will only apply if the complex interdependence condition is stable
- May be wrong, states will want to change regime

Combining

Economic issue: technological and economic change --- regime change
Overall structure: strong military-security state linkage to economic issue
Issue structure: no or slight linkage, so power resource of vulnerability dominate
International organization: examine how actors benefits more than other & how international organizaion persist
