Northeast Asia tries various regional cooperation initiatives. In early 1990s, the region started cooperation for acid deposition problem by request of "Agenda 21 which adopted in United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. And, three regional frameworks were built: (1) EANET (Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia), (2) NEASPEC (North-East Asian Subregional Programme for Environmental Cooperation, (3) LTP (Joint Research Project on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollutants in Northeast Asia). However these frameworks have no legally bindings and no regulations on the causal substances of acid deposition, they have principles, norms, rules and decision-making procedures which actors expectations converge in. We can see these three frameworks as international regime respectively. EANET, NEASPEC and LTP are partially overlapping without any agreed hierarchy and coordinator for resolving the overlap. So, Northeast Asia has the regime complex for acid deposition problem. When we analysis regime complex, we should see not only a single regime but also every regimes and relations among regimes composing the complex. This perspective is required to understand the regional cooperation for acid deposition problem and other issues holding multiple regimes in Northeast Asia.
