In theory, the term need not imply anything about the particular Government to which it relates, and most political scientists use it as a neutral term. The term is sometimes used colloquially by some in reference to governments which they believe are repressive, undemocratic or illegitimate, such that in these contexts the word conveys a sense of moral disapproval or political opposition. For example, one is less likely to hear of a "democratic regime". Political scientist Fred Judson , defines a regime as the "relationship between the State , Society , (the) Market , and global insertion". Other uses Another political use of "regime" concerns international regulatory agencies, which lie outside of the control of national governments. These have more power over a greater range than postal or telecommunications agreements, for example, and constrain national governments. The basic meaning of "regime", a system of control, can be found in terms such as ''exercise regime'' or ''medical regime''. Compare Regimen . In Science , a ''regime'' can mean a particular state of affairs where a particular physical phenomenon or boundary condition is significant, such as "the Superfluid regime" or "the Steady State regime".
