Abstract

The performance of individual international organizations (IOs) has received considerable scholarly attention, not in the least because their importance for global governance. This paper adds to this body of work by adopting genuine comparative lenses. Based on a novel survey, it assesses the attributed performance of 49 IOs over two important dimensions: problem-solving effectiveness and legitimacy of outputs. This reveals variation between IOs with respect to both components. We derive hypotheses from international cooperation and IO design. The quantitative analysis reveals that except deliberative diplomatic practices many factors increasing attributed legitimacy differ from the ones increasing the attributed problem-solving effectiveness. Most notably, autonomous secretariats increase the problem-solving effectiveness attributed to IOs. Legitimacy attributions increase when IOs are regional instead of global in nature and when non-state actors have access to IO decision-making.

谁的表现更好?国际组织解决问题的有效性和合法性的比较分析

个别国际组织(IOs)的表现受到了相当多的学术关注，至少是因为它们对全球治理的重要性。本文通过采用真正的比较镜头来补充这一工作。基于一项新颖的调查，它评估了49个IOs在两个重要方面的表现:解决问题的有效性和产出的合法性。这揭示了IOs在这两个组件方面的差异。我们从国际合作和IO设计中得出假设。定量分析表明，除协商外交实践外，许多提高合法性归属的因素与提高解决问题效力归属的因素不同。最值得注意的是，自治秘书处提高了事务厅解决问题的效率。当国际组织是区域性的而非全球性的，以及非国家行为体有权参与国际组织的决策时，合法性归属就会增加。
