Inter‐connectivity amongst breeding program is a required part of funding agencies’ projects these days but has not been well characterized by plant breeders themselves. Here we discuss the regional and global scales of inter‐connectivity for common bean breeding programs as this is useful case study for administrators and government decision makers setting the agendas for limited research and development moneys. Why beans? Common bean is arguably the second or third most important legume in the developing world based on total volume of production and within nation or regional and cross‐regional trade. The species is challenging to breed for several reasons: it is (1) made up of two genepools; (2) has a range of seed types and colors; (3) is consumed directly and therefore quality is mainly determined by the consumer; (4) it is susceptible to many biotic and abiotic stresses; and (5) it is highly influenced by the wide range of environments in which it grows. Unlike some other legumes, common bean has some closely related species that are cultivated and can be used in inter‐specific crosses. The strategies, germplasm availability and useful genes for breeding such a complex suite of sub‐crops have been well studied and often reviewed. However, the literature does not contain much on the institutional context or networking of bean improvement programs, which in today's inter‐connected world can be even more important than the biological constraints for achieving breeding goals. Therefore, the focus of this review is on who makes bean varieties, where they perform breeding operations and how the institutions and networks involved interact. Our chapter focuses on the institutional contacts of bean breeding that have led to successes or failures, accelerations or decelerations of varietal improvement in beans over the last half century. To explain our approach, one must consider a basic biological model of genotype (G) × environment (E) × institution (I) interaction rather than just G × E typically studied by most plant breeders. This review emphasizes the importance of bean research within national agricultural research systems (NARS) in developing countries, contextualized across networks of breeding programs, programs in academia in developing and developed countries and multiple international frameworks. We also discuss the ways that agenda setting occurs and how these are influenced by project funding and prioritization across the different nodes of plant breeding networks in national, network and international contexts.
