The doctrine of regionalism : A new dimension for international standardization in telecommunications

Author

Abstract

The paradigm for setting telecommunication standards is shifting to one in which international standards are applied within national systems as well as between them. Among the most significant institutional developments in this respect has been the raised profile of regional standards organizations. The historical development of these bodies is outlined and an assessment is made of their potential. Their relationship with the ITU as worked out at a 1990 conference in Fredericksburg, VA, can be expressed in terms of a 'doctrine of regionalism'. While addressing problems of resource maximization in standards making, the regional focus may also exacerbate longstanding asymmetries of representation in standardization process.
