Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Advanced industrial democracies belong to a plethora of international institutions. Either individually or collectively, they are members of universal organizations (UN agencies), regional blocs (e.g. EU, NAFTA, ASEAN) and issue-specific institutions (e.g. WTO, NATO, OECD, WHO). These international institutions can be nested within each other or overlap with each other, sometimes leading to conflicting commitments for their member states. What do countries do when the requirements of membership in one institution contradict those of membership in another institution? How do the nesting and the overlapping of international institutions complicate the strategies of national decision-makers? Does the nested and overlapping nature of international commitments in itself generate a distinct kind of politics? This paper reviews the literature on nested regimes, and puts forward an argument for how the nesting of institutions in itself influences politics.
