The following chapter provides an overview of the international regime definition, its ontological and normative commitments, regime formation, emergence and evolution as a distinct formation of knowledge, genealogically tracing how it has been conditioned or ‘made possible’. The insight generated in regime theory is then applied to space. The proposition that a cluster of similarly minded (responsible cosmopolitan) states can trigger regime formation is argued to be consistent with this insight, and regime theory may supply ample suggestions and yardsticks for a successful regime design. That said, it also points to caveats, notably in terms of regime leakage, and to the need to acknowledge and work around the observation that international regimes often make the exercise of power invisible but do not erase it, becoming instead its conduits.
