Research Objectives Initiationphase 2011 • Review and mapcurrentacademicdebate/empiricalresearch. • Comparegovernancegaps/opportuntiesacrosssectors. • Suggest themes and approaches for furtherresearch.
”As the numbers of institutions in a given societal space rises, opportunities for interactions between and among individual arrangements increase exponentially” (Oran Young, The Institutional Dimensions of Environmental Change, 2002)
A review of cross-sectoral experiences in international relations • Mainstreaming: ”Applying a (…) perspective in all policies and programmes so that, before decisions are taken, an analysis is made of the effects of (…) ” (UN DevelopmentReport 1995) • Issue-linkage: Multilateral cooperationacrossdifferentissue areas. (Conconi & Perroni, Journal of International Economics, 2002).
Emerging questions • What are factors associated with successful mainstreaming and issue-linkage? • How are processes in international organizations linked to institutional developments at the national level? • What kinds of outcomes do we wish to measure?
