Resilience of International Organizations
In this project, I analyze international organizations' (IOs) responses to contestation by member states. How do IOs react to budgetary measures, membership withdrawals or systematic non-compliance with core values by member states? And what factors explain the different ways in which IOs respond to these challenges? Integrating the insights from organization theory into research on multilateralism, this project analyzes three types of responses of IO bureaucracies: inertia, i.e. no immediate response; adaptation, i.e. institutional changes to maintain the support of the challenging member state(s); and resilience-building, i.e. developing organizational capacities to limit contestation.
