Converging on Europe? The European Union in mediatised debates during the Covid-19 and Ukraine shocks
European integration is at risk of becoming stuck in a ‘politics’ trap: Diverging national EU politicisation inhibits joint agreements which fuels public debates further. What can break this vicious circle? We argue that large and symmetrical exogenous shocks may reduce the divergence of national public EU debates to then study how the COVID-19 and Ukraine crises have altered mediatised EU portrayals across 753,435 articles from 228 major online …
Participation of ministers in Council of the EU meetings: Variation across members and decline over time
We formulate and test a comprehensive model of participation by ministers in sessions of the Council of the EU. Ministers often delegate the task of representing their governments at Council sessions to deputies or civil servants. However, EU members differ significantly in how frequently that occurs. Using new data on ministers' participation in all 793 Council sessions in 2004–2014, we find (1) that ministers choose to participate more frequent…
The Increasing Representativeness of International Organizations’ Secretariats: Evidence from the United Nations System, 1997–2015
Although international organizations (IOs) and their secretariats play important roles in international politics, we know surprisingly little about their staffing composition and the factors that shape it. What accounts for the national composition of the secretariats of IOs? We theorize that the national composition of international secretariats is shaped by three factors: the desire by powerful states for institutional control, a commonly share…
Policy Implementation by International Organizations: A Comparative Analysis of Strengths and Weaknesses of National and International Staff
Strengths and weaknesses of IO staff Policy implementation in an intergovernmental organization (IGO) takes the form of co-implementation by two staff groups: international officials and national staffers recruited from the host state. This paper conceptualizes and empirically evaluates the relative strengths and weaknesses of the two groups. Based on an original staff survey, it finds as one distinct strength of international staff their imparti…
The long march through the institutions: Emerging powers and the staffing of international organizations
How successful have emerging powers been at increasing their representation within the secretariats of international organizations (IOs)? We examine the representation of the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) in the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the United Nations (UN) System, including the UN Secretariat, over the last two decades. The analysis reveals four major findings. First, some r…

New Powers and the Distribution of Preferences in Global Trade Governance: From Deadlock and Drift to Fragmentation
Existing theories make divergent predictions about the impact of new powers on the global political economy. Some argue that a more even distribution of power will erode international cooperation, while others argue that cooperation can continue with the help of international institutions to overcome collective action problems. We argue that this debate overlooks a critical determinant of the shape of power transitions: the distribution of prefer…
Avoiding Paralysis: The Eastern Enlargement and the Council of the European Union
Why does the Council of the European Union continue to function without apparent problems, despite the increase in the number and heterogeneity of its members brought about by the Eastern enlargement? We argue that the reason why the Council has not become paralysed lies in the increased delegation of its agenda load from the ministerial meetings downwards to the Committee of Permanent Representatives (Coreper). We assess our argument on the basi…
The Bureaucratisation of Decision-Making in the European Union after Eastern Enlargement
This article seeks to describe some important changes that have occurred in EU decision-making procedures since its eastern enlargement and to explain how it is that the decision-making process continues to function relatively smoothly in the EU even after a sharp increase in the number of Member States and despite generally shared fears to the contrary. The analysis focuses on the main decision-making body in the EU, the Council of the European …
