  2. Communication Regimes Information Science 2004: Kling, Spector & Fortuna Science & Technology Studies 1995: Hilgartner

  3. Regimes • Philosophy • 1972: Foucault (Regimes of Truth) • Political Science • 1975/1982: Krasner / Keohane / Nye (International Regime Theory)

  4. Regime Theory • “Regimes can be defined as sets of implicit or explicit principles, norms, rules, and decision-making procedures around which actors’ expectations converge” Krasner, 1982

  5. Regime Theory (continued) • Principles: beliefs of fact, causation, and rectitude • Norms: standards for behavior defined in terms of rights and obligations • Rules: specific prescriptions or proscriptions for action • Decision-making procedures: prevailing practices for making and implementing collective choice Krasner, 1982

  6. Communication Regime Defined A communication regime is… • …a loosely coupled social network in which the communication and the work system are highly coupled.

  7. Communication Regime Defined (cont.) A communication regime is… • …a system with a set of implicit or explicit principles, norms, rules, and decision-making procedures around which actors’ expectations converge.

  8. Communication Regime Defined (cont.) A communication regime is… • …a system in which the types of communication are tightly coupled to the production system in which they are embedded.

  9. Communication Regime Defined (cont.) A communication regime is… • …a system with institutions that help to support and to regulate the regime.

  10. Communication Regime Defined (cont.) A communication regime is… • …a system within which there are conflicts over control, over who enforces standards, over who bears the costs of change and who reaps the benefits of change.

  11. Next steps • Communication regimes as organizing framework for dissertation • Theories: • SCOT: Social Construction of Technology • ANT: Actor-Network Theory • STIN methodology: Socio-Technical Interaction Networks • CMs: Computerization movements
