International bureaucracies’ influence on public policy and international organizations

Abstract

Previous research has successfully identified different conditions that enable international bureaucracies (i.e., the secretariats of International Organizations, IOs) to wield influence on the development and implementation of public policies. Moreover, scholars have used case studies to trace the specific mechanisms and influence strategies that international bureaucracies resort to in order to affect the course of events. What is largely missing, however, are integrative approaches that allow for a comparative analysis of several explanatory factors under a common theoretical framework. Against this background, the panel aims to contribute to the current debate about the influence of international bureaucracies. It invites conceptual and empirical papers on the role of international bureaucracies in the provision of public policy and the interaction with other IOs.
