Regimes may be nested in larger institutional structures, e.g. that for high seas fishing, which is subject to the more encompassing law of the sea. Often regimes are "lightly administered", generating compliance with minimal organizational resources ("governance without government"). While regimes often do not seek to provide comprehensive systems of public order for large geographic regions, they may occasion participation by states as well as inter-governmental actors. The result, Young suggests, is that regimes tend to form horizontally rather than vertically; they represent a "complex pattern of decentralized order."
