We have yet to discover whether there are conditions under which it is more likely for regional networks to emerge. A strong regional identity (for example, in Scandanavia) does not appear to be sufficient for the emergence of a regional network, in the face of the dominance of the U.S. groups (ash.org and inwat.org), the Geneva-based international agency (globalink.org/uicc.org) and to a lesser extent the Paris-based international NGO coalition, ingcat.org.

International networking tendencies from a leading regional tobacco control group (Aer Pur). Map highlights the absence of regional organizations in the international tobacco control network, as well as the competition between global tobacco control network-builders.

Generally, national groups tend to link more to other national groups and to leading international groups than to regional groups, even in the case of Scandanavia.

For the issue of Tobacco Control the emergence of regional networks seems to be hindered by competition between global network-builders, and by the more general tendency of national groups to network internationally rather than regionally. We have yet to discover whether there are conditions under which it is more likely for regional networks to emerge. A strong regional identity (for example, in Scandanavia) does not appear to be sufficient for the emergence of a regional network, in the face of the dominance of the U.S. groups (ash.org and inwat.org), the Geneva-based international agency (globalink.org/uicc.org) and to a lesser extent the Paris-based international NGO coalition, ingcat.org.

Scandanavian cancer societies are relatively densely interlinked, and are also associated with the American Cancer Society as well as two leading international institutions, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (part of the WHO) and the International Union against Cancer, both based in Geneva.
