Replication Data for \"NGO Influence in International Organizations: Information, Access, and Exchange\"
收藏资源简介:
While there is broad consensus that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) sometimes succeed in influencing policy-making within international organizations (IOs), there is much less agreement on the factors and conditions that make NGO lobbying effective. In this article, we make two contributions to this debate. First, we examine the determinants of influence among NGOs active in different IOs, issue areas, and policy phases. The analysis builds on original survey data of more than 400 NGOs involved in five different IOs, complemented by elite interviews with IO and state officials. Second, we advance a specific argument about how the strategic exchange of information and access between NGOs and IOs increases NGO influence in IOs. We contrast this argument, derived from theories of lobbying in American and European politics, with three alternative explanations of NGO influence, privileging material resources, transnational networks, and public-opinion mobilization, and sketch the broader implications of our results for research on NGOs in global governance.
尽管学界已就非政府组织(Non-Governmental Organizations,NGOs)有时能够成功影响国际组织(International Organizations,IOs)内部的政策制定达成广泛共识,但对于哪些因素与条件能够提升非政府组织游说的有效性,学界却缺乏统一意见。本文针对这一学术争论作出两点贡献。其一,我们考察活跃于不同国际组织、议题领域与政策阶段的非政府组织影响力的决定因素。本项分析基于针对参与五个不同国际组织事务的400余家非政府组织的原创调研数据,并辅以针对国际组织与国家官员的精英访谈。其二,我们提出一项具体的理论论点,阐释非政府组织与国际组织之间通过信息与准入渠道的策略性交换,如何提升前者在国际组织内的影响力。我们将该源自欧美政治游说理论的论点,与三种分别以物质资源、跨国网络与公众舆论动员为核心逻辑的非政府组织影响力替代性解释进行对比,并梳理了本研究结果对全球治理领域非政府组织研究的更广泛启示。
