Abstract: This paper will explore sources of international regime effectiveness in the context of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). Regime effectiveness is defined as the extent to which interstate governance arrangements solve problems resulting from international interdependence. Two leading causal models of regime effectiveness will be examined. The management model assumes that states ordinarily seek to comply with their commitments; noncompliance arises from capacity limitations and rule ambiguity, and can be corrected by promoting capacity assistance, authoritative rule interpretation, and transparency. The enforcement model argues that compliance is a function of cost-benefit calculations; noncompliance is overcome through monitoring and sanctions. The explanatory power of each of these models will be assessed by conducting a case study of CITES, the international regime charged with neutralizing trade as a threat to species survival. Specifically, three instances of CITES regulation representing various degrees of effectiveness will be investigated. First, the case of the trade in leopard skins and trophies stands as a successful example of CITES in action. Second, the regulation of the ivory trade has offered mixed protection for the African elephant. Third, the black rhinoceros has suffered immensely as a result of CITES' failure to counter the pressures of the trade in rhino horn. Qualitative methods, especially process tracing, will be employed in order to establish which causal model is superior, as well as to refine and elaborate existing theories of regime effectiveness. |
