“…In her contribution, Dee (2023) unpacks the EU's use of orchestration as a means of soft and indirect governance within the nuclear weapons regime complex. She finds that orchestration by the EU was facilitated by the EU's tradition of multilateralism, its functional limitations, the political context of the regime complex, and the presence of like-minded intermediaries.…”

Global governance in many domains is increasingly characterised by the existence of international regime complexes—i.e., sets of overlapping institutional fora taking up different aspects of a broader issue area. As an international actor, the EU faces a context of such international regime complexity. Yet, little is known about how the EU navigates international regime complexes and how regime complexes impact the EU’s behaviour in individual fora. This thematic issue, therefore, seeks to improve our understanding of how different manifestations of international regime complexes affect the EU as an international actor and to provide empirical insight into the ways actors like the EU navigate international regime complexes. In this editorial, we situate the thematic issue within the broader academic debates on the EU’s role in international regime complexity, argue for the need to study the EU as an actor therein, and provide an overview of the thematic issue’s objectives and the nine articles that comprise it.

Fragmentation of the nuclear non-proliferation regime is less pronounced than in other areas of the international order, but significant challenges exist, including decreasing great power collaboration, persistent nuclear proliferation and increasing discontent among non-nuclear weapon states. In this context, the European Union (EU) plays an important role in orchestrating and supporting financially the work of the institutions of the nuclear non-proliferation regime and ensuring the implementation of stringent export controls in the EU. In its Strategic Compass, the EU reinvigorated its commitment to non-proliferation and arms control. However, it lacks clear policies in two key areas: nuclear disarmament and arms control, where the last US-Russian agreement is suspended and any agreement with China is out of reach.

Over the past decades, the European Union (EU) has confronted multiple crises, which have prompted swift political responses from the EU’s member states and institutions. While there is a broad literature about the EU’s internal responses to crises, we know much less about the EU’s interactions with external actors. Because the EU is part of issue-specific regime complexes, it has cultivated relationships with international organizations (IOs) across a multitude of issues. We argue that during crises, the EU has heightened incentives to complement its internal crisis response by interactions with other IOs that vary in their qualities. How can the EU’s external engagement during crises be conceptualized and theoretically explained? Drawing on the regime complexity literature, we identify three different types of interactions among IOs to conceptualize the EU’s varying external engagements during crises periods: pooling, division of labor, and competition. We further argue that under the condition of regime complexity, the choice of interorganizational interaction is shaped by the convergence of means and ends among the respective dyads of IOs. To illustrate the usefulness of our typology for the study of the EU’s external responses to crises, as well as the plausibility of our argument, we analyze three instances of EU–IO relationships in crisis contexts: pooling between the EU and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to address the sovereign debt crisis, division of labor between the EU and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in response to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, and competition between the EU and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) during the “migration crisis.”
