False
The concept of system is limited to political and economic issues.
False
The boundaries of a system distinguish between contextual and environmental effects.

False
The literature on international regimes was a precursor to the study of international subsystems.

What is the significance of subsystems in the globally oriented concept of international system?
Resolves the paradox
What is the limitation of a global international system in terms of distinguishing between effects on the behavior of actors?
It cannot distinguish between contextual and environmental effects.
In what ways can boundaries be conceived in international politics, according to the text?
In vertical (time), horizontal (spatial), and diagonal (time and space) terms.
What is the significance of the concept of environment in relation to subsystems, according to Young?
It is useful when dealing with subsystems, as they can be affected by factors outside their boundaries.
How can the concepts of boundaries and system be combined, according to the text?
Along two dimensions: extent of similarity and degree of integration.
What is the characteristic of a global system, according to Young?
It can be characterized only by its context.
What is the implication of the global international system's inability to distinguish between contextual and environmental effects?
It makes it impossible to distinguish between two kinds of effects on the behavior of actors.
What is the significance of Haas's study of 21 subsystems in the context of international subsystems literature?
It provided a rare link to the second strand in the subsystems literature by combining geographic and issue criteria.
What is the primary focus of the international subsystems literature?
Issue subsystems
What is the distinction between structure and process in international systems according to Keohane and Nye?
Structure refers to the distribution of capabilities among similar units, while process refers to bargaining behavior within a power structure.
What is the term used to describe the rules of the game within an international subsystem?

According to Young, what are the essential components of a system?
Actors, structure, process, and contextual limitations
What is the significance of the concept of environment in relation to subsystems?
It is not useful when dealing with subsystems.
