Abstract

International organizations focus on complex and uncertain governance problems, like fighting climate change, poverty or global pandemics. One central task they are supposed to fulfil is to produce and disseminate specialised knowledge to address these global changes. This panel explores questions around knowledge and expertise of IOs. What influences knowledge construction inside IOs? How, and under which conditions, can IOs influence global and national policy through their expertise? We invite contributions from different theoretical perspectives and using any methodological strategies that revolve around the use of knowledge in IOs as well as the use of IO knowledge.
