Compliance and Effectiveness

Does compliance matter?

Compliance

• Managerial model

– Ambiguity

– Lack of capacity

– Temporal dimension

• Enforcement model

– Noncompliance is intentional

Compliance (again)

• How important is noncompliance in each model?

• How much compliance do we need?

– Deciding how much compliance we need is a political question

• What is the relationship between compliance and effectiveness?

Effectiveness

• How do we improve IO effectiveness?

• Enforcement model

– transparency

• Managerial model

– Capacity and commitment

• Institutional model

– Better internal institutional structure

• Political model

– Change opinions and perceptions of interest

Do IOs matter?

• Issue-area specific

– But, in many instances, yes

• Multilateralism as accepted practice

• IOs and global governance

– Effectiveness and representation
