1. Definition of International Institutions

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • International institutions are defined as "a set of rules, norms and decision-making procedures which influence actors’ expectations, interests and behaviors" (Goldstein). They encompass formal and informal arrangements that guide state and actor conduct in the international arena.

  • Rules and norms within international institutions can be formal or informal:

    • International law (formal): "mutual will of the nations concerned," including treaties, conventions, judicial decisions, and general principles like non-intervention.
    • Soft law (informal): Legally non-binding obligations such as codes of conduct and environmental programs, which influence behavior without enforceability.
  • International regimes are "sets of implicit or explicit principles, norms, rules and decision-making procedures around which actors’ expectations converge in a given area of international relations" (Kasner). They are specialized arrangements related to specific activities or resources.
