Field Presence and the Performance of Environmental Projects
Scant attention has been paid to how field presence shapes the implementation of environment-earmarked projects by international organizations (IOs), such as those funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). GEF funding is based on a process whereby implementing IOs and recipient partners co-design projects based on GEF criteria. Once approved by GEF, projects are implemented with no direct GEF involvement, but are later evaluated by a dedic…
Core funding and the performance of international organizations
Scholarship on the administration of international organizations (IOs) has extensively discussed how autonomy influences their performance. While some argue that autonomy increases performance through greater adaptability, others warn that it may increase the risk of agency slack. Authors typically distinguish between three types of performance: output, outcome, and impact performance. We focus on core funding as a key source of IO autonomy and a…
Informal state influence in international organizations
This article examines whether and how donor states engage differentially with earmarked funding within the multilateral system when their nationals hold executive office in international organizations (IOs). The article relies on recent scholarship on multilateral finance and IO bureaucracies to identify executive representation and earmarked funding as tools that states may use for exerting influence within IOs. Based on that, the article expect…
Issue congruence in international organizations
International organizations (IOs) are often criticized for insulated decision‐making processes that do not react to the preferences of key stakeholders that are directly affected by them. However, empirical studies probing the degree to which IOs’ policies are aligned with the preferences of such key constituencies are scarce. This paper tackles the gap by studying the case of the World Bank. We argue that congruence with stakeholder preferences …
Using Covid-19 as opportunity
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a steep rise in demand for COVID-recovery lending and a decrease in capacity for infrastructure borrowing in many countries struggling to cope with its economic effects. This has presented a significant challenge to the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), as its project pipelines had been developed mainly for traditional infrastructure lending. This paper examines the strategies employed by the AIIB to adapt …
You’re Fired! International Courts, Re‐contracting, and the WTO Appellate Body during the Trump Presidency
A long‐standing debate amongst international relations scholars has surrounded the question of whether international institutions with judicial authority enjoy more autonomy and discretion than other global institutions. This is mainly because international courts are established as impartial third‐party actors tasked with performing adjudicative functions for conflicting parties. As such, the delegation contracts of international institutions wi…
Donald Trump and the survival strategies of international organisations
The Trump administration posed an unprecedented challenge to many international organisations (IOs). This article analyses the ability of IOs to respond and explains variation in the survival strategies pursued by their institutional actors. It argues that leadership, organisational structure, competences and external networks affect whether institutional actors can formulate and implement responses to existential challenges. Providing evidence f…
The People and Populism
What is and what is defined as populism?" In response to this question the best political theories and philosophies have put forward many different answers, that are taken into account in this article. The article affirms the constitutive ambiguity of the concept of "populism" and its ability to unify very different issues. After analyzing some of the implications that populism entails in practice (in particular the political use of fear and the …
