It is not without reason that the contemporary international system is sometimes described as a ‘spaghetti bowl’ (Alter & Meunier, 2009). International cooperation is not only challenged by composite global problems such as climate change, but also by a growing number of international organizations that produce controversial overlaps between international rules and regulations. This seminar investigates how states and other actors navigate through this complex web of global governance and what strategies actors use to solve coordination problems in the absence of hierarchy. For example, why would states engage in counter-institutionalization by creating new institutions to challenge the norms, principles and rules of existing institutions?
The aim of this course is to help students understand how actors overcome diverse coordination problems using strategies such as counter-institutionalization, regime shifting and competitive regime creation.
This interactive course gives students the chance to investigate real world cases across various issue areas ranging from global environmental governance, intellectual property rights and the global supply of medicines to international finances and development banking.
Das Seminar wird von Frau Julia Fuß, wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin in der Abteilung Global Governance, Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (WZB), angeboten. |

Bemerkung |
„Wer die erste Sitzung der Lehrveranstaltung versäumt, ohne sich vorher schriftlich oder persönlich zu entschuldigen, kann den Anspruch auf einen Platz in der LV verlieren, wenn es mehr Interessenten als Plätze gibt. Dies gilt ungeachtet der Platzzuweisung durch Friedolin und ist im Einklang mit der grundsätzlichen Aufhebung der Anwesenheitspflicht.”
