As the world becomes more complicated, so too does global governance. The political consequences of the rising density of institutions, policies, rules and strategies to address global phenomena has been a central focus of the scholarship on international regime complexity. This conclusion to a special issue grapples with the promise and perils of theorizing about international regime complexity in a constantly evolving world. It discusses the special issue contributions while uniting the different conversations about the increasingly complex global governance space we refer to as international regime complexity. The goal is to bridge existing debates about global governance, to expand the scholarly conversation by drawing from and better connecting to IR debates, and to ensure that we can address practical and pressing global governance challenges.

随着世界变得更加复杂，全球治理也变得更加复杂。解决全球现象的制度、政策、规则和战略密度不断增加所产生的政治后果一直是国际制度复杂性学术研究的中心焦点。对一个特刊的这一结论与在不断发展的世界中对国际制度复杂性进行理论化的承诺和危险作斗争。它讨论了特刊的贡献，同时结合了关于日益复杂的全球治理空间的不同对话，我们称之为国际制度复杂性。目标是弥合现有的关于全球治理的辩论，通过借鉴和更好地联系国际关系辩论来扩大学术对话，
