The word regime (also "régime", from the original French spelling) refers to a set of conditions, most often of a political nature, such as a government. ==Politics== In politics, a ''régime'' is the form of government or the set of rules, cultural or social norms, etc. that regulate the operation of a government or institution and its interactions with society. Modern usage While the word ''régime'' originates as a synonym for any form of government, modern usage often gives the term a negative connotation, implying an authoritarian government or dictatorship. Webster's definition states that the word ''régime'' refers simply to a form of government,〔(Regime ) as defined in the Merriam–Webster website〕 while Oxford English Dictionary defines ''regime'' as "a government, especially an authoritarian one".〔(Regime ) as defined in the Oxford English Dictionary〕 Nowadays the political use of the word ''regime'' is most commonly applied to any government that is most of the time not democratically elected and imposes strict and often arbitrary rules and laws on the people that are, because of the undemocratic nature of the government, non-negotiable. Contemporary academic usage of the term "regime" is broader than popular and journalistic usage, meaning "an intermediate stratum between the government (which makes day-to-day decisions and is easy to alter) and the state (which is a complex bureaucracy tasked with a range of coercive functions)."〔(Breakdown of the GCC Initiative )〕 In global studies and international relations the concept of ''regime'' is also used to name international regulatory agencies (see International regime), which lie outside of the control of national governments. Some authors thus distinguish analytically between institutions and regimes while recognizing that they are bound up with each other: :: In other words, regimes can be defined as sets of protocols and norms embedded either in institutions or institutionalized practices - formal such as states or informal such as the "liberal trade regime" - that are publicly enacted and relatively enduring.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Regime」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
