Stakeholder Influence on IO Bureaucracies: State and Non-State Actors in International Organisation

Abstract

Scholars have long debated the extent to which the policies and operations of international institutions are influenced by state and non-state actors alike. Various actors seek to influence IOs, but the many ways in which they do so is underexplored, especially when it comes to non-traditional stakeholders, such as NGOs and private foundations and corporations. This panel aims to enhance the profile of this scholarship by inviting a range of contributions on various aspects of stakeholder influence in the operations of international organizations.
