Indeed, transgovernmental networks can tend to disaggregate and fragment the state. A Westphalian state conducted its foreign policy in a relatively coordinated manner through a single department of external affairs. In contrast, the state in a more global world engages with other states through multiple ministries, regulatory agencies, legislatures and courts, all of which can come to operate with considerable autonomy from each other. In some cases trans-ministerial cooperation among states can be greater than inter-ministerial collaboration within a state. Transgovernmental activities may also increase divisions within states. For instance, in the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) environment ministers from around the world have regularly complained about their difficulties with economics ministers. Likewise, officials from finance ministries and central banks have often found more commonality of views among themselves in G7/G10/G20 circles than with other departments of their respective states. In such cases global concerns and connections have loosened the cohesiveness of the state.
