Dramatic external effects and economies of scale arc seen as forces that require the establishment and further development of administrative units beyond national limits (c.g., Baehr and Gordcnkcr 1984). Accordingly, international organizations arc positively evaluated, and questions of efficiency arc considered unimportant or arc answered in a favorable way for the organizations. Other observers, however, take international organizations to be an extreme example of inefficiency and mismanagement. The UNCTAD, for example, is simply called “a failure” in the study by Ramsay (1984). He points out the many scandals in such organizations and regards UNCTAD’s rapid growth in terms of budgets and number of employees as an indicator of waste. Accordingly, international organizations arc evaluated negatively; it is claimed that there is no need for them and that better alternatives exist. The divergent views start from the same observation, that today international organizations arc of great and increasing importance. There exist about 300 intergovernmental international organizations with roughly 100,000 employees and an administrative budget of about U.S. $7 billion (Blanc 1985). A more extensive definition relying on the Yearbook of International Organizations of 1981 counts between 344 and 1,075 international organizations. They constitute a rather new phenomenon in the international system: 94 percent of the 881 international orga nizations whose date of foundation is known were created after 1939 and 70 percent between 1960 and 1981.

The trade negotiations process did not attack this claim. It gave producers in each country an opportunity to increase its value through mutually beneficial exchanges with producers in other countries. The process worked as long as institutions forced all producers in a country to reach a collective decision on trade policy. Another mutation of GATT institutions has begun with the development in the United States of\"301\", which provides a way for exporting producers to advance their interests without bearing the burden of suppressing or buying off import competing interests. Indeed,\"301\"attacks foreign restrictions not with the possibility of fewer U.S. restrictions, but with the threat of more. Trade remedy processes have been installed in many countries, so\"301s\"should not be far behind. The GATT system was devised to promote global security and free trade. In the present system, export interests will generate trade conflicts and import competing interestswill generate trade restrictions. Simply put, the institutions that shape the relevant public choices do not bring out the appropriate economic interests, and the resulting policy choices are not those that promote economic efficiency.","PeriodicalId":289202,"journal":{"name":"The Political Economy of International Organizations","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129037563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
