摘要
摘要国际组织从未像现在这样具有权威性和潜在的代理能力,但同时也面临着对其持续存在的强烈威胁。在这些辩证的条件下,本文确定了一种新的行为类型:IO生存政治。生存政治发生在高级机构参与者意识到组织面临生存威胁,并采取特殊策略以确保组织继续存在的时候。因此,生存政治在程度和种类上都不同于秘书处在正常决策条件下施加影响的方式。两个案例研究说明了这一概念:(1)欧盟委员会对英国退欧的反应;(2)北约对特朗普总统撤军威胁的反应。通过对87名高级官员的采访,本文表明,面对各种威胁,IO生存政治发生在各种不同的IOs中,这可能是决定危机中IOs命运的关键因素。通过概念化国际组织生存政治,本文旨在为研究开辟新的途径,并促进对国际组织和多边主义危机的学术理解。关键词:国际组织;危机;机构;;;;;本文是欧洲研究委员会(ERC)在欧盟地平线2020研究与创新计划(资助协议号802568)下资助的一个项目的一部分。作者简介:leonard Schuette是慕尼黑安全会议的高级研究员。这篇文章的大部分文字是他在牛津大学做访问研究员和马斯特里赫特大学做博士研究员时写的。作者感谢Hylke Dijkstra, Mette eilstrupp - sangiovanni, Christian Kreuder-Sonnen, Tim Heinkelmann-Wild以及因斯布鲁克ECPR会议(2022)和波恩国际组织DVPW研讨会(2022)的参与者提供的最有帮助的意见。
IO survival politics: international organisations amid the crisis of multilateralism
ABSTRACTInternational organisations (IOs) have never been more authoritative and potentially agential while simultaneously faced more intense threats to their continued existence. Amid these dialectic conditions, this article identifies a novel type of behaviour: IO Survival Politics. IO Survival Politics occurs when senior institutional actors perceive the organisation to face an existential threat and, in response, employ extraordinary strategies to ensure the organisation’s continued existence. Survival Politics thus differs both in degree and kind from the ways in which secretariats exercise influence during conditions of normal policymaking. Two case studies illustrate the concept: (1) the European Commission’s response to Brexit and (2) NATO’s response to President Trump’s withdrawal threats. Drawing on 87 interviews with senior officials, the article shows that IO Survival Politics occurs across a range of diverse IOs in face of diverse threats and can be a crucial factor in determining the fate of IOs in crisis. By conceptualising IO Survival Politics, the article intends to open new avenues for research and advance scholarly understanding of IOs and the crisis of multilateralism.KEYWORDS: International organisationscrisesagencyNATOEUmultilateralism Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis article is part of a project that has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme [grant agreement No 802568].Notes on contributorsLeonard August SchuetteLeonard Schuette is a senior researcher at the Munich Security Conference.
