3 THE GLOBAL GOVERNANCE PROGRAMME

FOREWORD

The Global Governance Programme (GGP) is one of the flagship programmes of the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies at the European University Institute (EUI) It aims to build a community of outstanding pro-fessors and scholars produce high quality research en-gage with the world of practice through policy dialogue and contribute to the fostering of present and future gen-erations of policy and decision makers through its execu-tive training

The launch of the GGP in 2010 was based on the under-standing that the world has fundamentally changed over the last twenty years becoming ever more connected and multipolar with a pronounced expansion in demand for global governance given the problems facing our contem-porary societies Many of the big issues facing the world can only be addressed through co-operation across bor-ders involving States international organisations civil society and private actors The international system is characterised by a serial rise in the number of regional organisations trade agreements arbitration mechanisms and NGOs with a global focus States remain powerful ac-tors in the international system but do so as part of a world of connectivity and deep interdependence

The GGP as the EUIrsquos response to these developments in regional and international co-operation focuses on four broad interdisciplinary themes and on the many cross-cutting issues related to globalisation

European Transnational and Global Governance Global Economics Europe in the World Cultural Pluralism

In all of these areas established and early career scholars research write on and discuss within and beyond aca-demia issues of global governance in a unique environ-ment full of creativity and intellectual vitality in close co-operation with other Robert Schuman Centre pro-grammes and the wider EUI community

Thanks in part to the unparalleled convening power of the Robert Schuman Centre the Global Governance Pro-gramme has over the years attracted distinguished schol-ars and leading decisionmakers for intellectually vibrant discussions which have contributed robust critical think-ing to questions of policy and institutional design The GGP produces high quality academic and policy publica-tions including the Policy Brief series

INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCHAT THE FOREFRONT

EUROPEAN TRANSNATIONAL ANDGLOBAL GOVERNANCE

The European Transnational and Global Governance research area develops policy-oriented research with a transversal character This is based on the understanding that a serial increase has occurred in the number of actors engaging in governance beyond State borders for exam-ple some 60000 NGOs are operating in the international system Moreover many different modes of governance exist at regional and global levels including State-led forms of transnational governance governance and regu-lation produced by non-State actors plus a multiplicity of regime complexes involving both public and private actors This research area focuses on the mechanisms processes and agents of governance at global and regional level while its activities bridge other Global Governance Programme research areas that concentrate more on spe-cific global public goods notably trade investment de-velopment cultural pluralism and the role of Europe in the world Linked to a substantive focus on governance emphasis is placed on how transnational cooperation evolves and operates in different parts of the world The research area draws on the experiences of European regional and in-ternational organisations to analyse negotiation dynam-ics power and asymmetrical relations the institutionali-sation of co-operation the role of law and norms issues of regulation and compliance and differences across policy fields and regions of the world Attention is paid to questions of design effects and compliance of different modes of governance The research area also addresses is-sues pertaining to the legitimacy efficiency and account-ability of evolving modes of governance that are weakly rooted in democratic politics within States

The European Union has evolved into the most institu-tionalised and legally bounded system of governance above the level of the State The depth and range of its poli-cy reach central institutions and the constitutionalisation of its treaties have transformed the original communities into a distinctive compound polity The EU represents an intensive site of transnational governance unmatched in other regions in the world Europe possesses unparal-leled experience as a laboratory of transnational govern-ance and co-operation The focus here is on lsquoEurope as a Laboratoryrsquo that forms the core dynamics of European integration and the governance modes that it has fostered However although lessons may be drawn from the Euro-pean experience they cannot be exported unchanged to other parts of the world hence the related theme within this area of comparative regional integration

Carlos Closa Montero is part-time Professor at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies He is Professor at the Institute for Public Goods and Policies (IPP) at the Spanish National Research Council He served (2005-2009) as member of the Venice Commission for Democracy through Law (Council of Europe) and was Deputy Director of the Centre for Political and Constitutional Studies (2004-2008) Formerly he was Professor at the University of Zaragoza and Complutense and Visiting Professor at the College of Europe and the Instituto Universitario Ortega y Gasset He was Visiting Fellow at the Minda de Gunzburg Centre at Harvard University Jean Monnet Fellow and Salvador de Madariaga Fellow at the EUI and Emile Noel Fellow at the New York University

The research team of the European Transnational and Global Governance area in fact analyses one of the most noteworthy forms of transnational governance that confronts globalisation notably the creation and reac-tivation of regional organisations Trade and economic motivations inspire the creation of regional groupings but other issues such as security and even social cohe-sion are often articulated as rationales for this trend In trade terms regional integration raises the issue of com-patibility between the global and the regional The uni-

verse of existing regional organisations is explored with a comparative focus with particular attention paid to the question of institutional design The area aims to address questions on what inspires the selection of specific insti-tutional architectures and on the effects of these choices in terms of compliance efficiency legitimacy and demo-cratic accountability Organs such as regional courts parliaments and secretariats are analysed in a compara-tive manner as well as forms of regional citizenship or domestic constitutional openings to regional processes

GLOBAL ECONOMICSTRADE INVESTMENT AND DEVELOPMENT

The Global Economics research area conducts policy-relevant research in the area of trade investment and economic development An ever larger share of national output and employment involves participation in inter-national value chains with firms specialising in defined inputs and services that are embodied in a final product Economic development and growth prospects of coun-tries depend on effective policies that support the ability of firms to participate in the global economy Global val-ue chains offer a useful framework to better understand how regulations impact on trade and investment and to identify policies that governments can use to enable firms to better exploit trade opportunities Those poli-cies may generate negative impacts on other countries International agreements are a key instrument used by governments to agree on policy disciplines to reduce these detrimental spillover effects

The research team focuses on issues of interest to the European Union and its Member States but also beyond European boundaries including in relation to the func-tioning and future of the multilateral trading system (the WTO) the so-called mega-regional trade agree-ments (such as the EU negotiations for a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) agreement and a plurilateral Trade in Services Agreement) and the trade and investment policies of large emerging econo-mies and other developing countries

Under this umbrella a number of research projects aim to investigate The future of the multilateral trading systemmdash

analysis of trade and investment policies and trade agreements aiming to identify national interests and concerns about current international trade governance mechanisms as part of an evolving network of policy research institutes based around the world (including

EUROPE IN THE WORLD

The Europe in the World research area explicitly ties the study of Europersquos international relations and role in inter-national and security affairs to the central changes and challenges in world politics today Through its research seminars and scholarly publications this research area seeks to integrate theoretical and conceptual insights from a wide range of perspectives in international rela-tions the social sciences history and international law with politically relevant empirical analysis The research area contributes to theoretical and political debates on European and international affairs and the implications of a multi-centred multi-actor world for emerging global dynamics It engages with key areas of European affairs and addresses some of the big questions confronting Eu-rope and the EU in the decades ahead

Central research themes of this research area include Europersquos role and place in the emergent world of 21st

century global politics Europersquos foreign relations broadly including the evolv-

ing relations of the EU with major and emerging pow-ers (including the US China Russia India Brazil) as well as regional and global international organisations

EU foreign security and defence policy including questions of purpose and strategy

The rocky and still tenuous consolidation of the EU as a ldquohigh politicsrdquo actor in global affairs

Issues of coherence and cohesion vs divisions and fragmentation in external engagement

Internal and external aspects of European security and defence

The foreign security and defence policies of individu-al European States or groups of States

The impact of major shifts and continuities in interna-tional affairs on Europe itself

The animating vision of the research area is to bring together prominent and promising scholars and practi-tioners in the field both from within and outside the EUI and to support cutting-edge research with the goal of generating widely-read publications in internationally recognised journals and book presses

This new research area created in the spring of 2014 will launch its full range of activities during the 2014-2015 academic year

CULTURAL PLURALISM

The Cultural Pluralism research area develops policy-oriented research on two compelling challenges of the 21st century that must be addressed at the European and global level The Governance of Cultural and Religious Diversity and The Economics of Cultural DiversityConsidering the normative challenges of living in open yet cohesive and democratic societies how can different forms of pluralism be managed How does the relationship between multiculturalism and equality evolve across differ-ent liberal and democratic contexts What are the different paradigms of secularism professed in Europe North Amer-ica or Asia How does cultural pluralism relate to national identity and cultural heritageIn this context the Cultural Pluralism research team ex-plores the governance of diversity from three main perspec-tives the sociological and institutional one by focussing on existing institutions and practices that need to be further developed with the purpose of successfully managing cul-tural and religious plurality the political perspective by exploring the relationship between political ideology (the traditional left- and right-wing distinction) culture and re-ligion Finally as governance of cultural and religious diver-sity cannot exist without appropriate legal frameworks the

legal perspective The team evaluates the effectiveness of le-gal frameworks and seeks to analyse in a comparative man-ner how native vs migration-related cultural and religious diversity is managed in different countries and continentsInvestigating the Economics of Cultural Diversity the re-search team explores the relationship between cultural di-versity social solidarity and socio-economic development aiming to address key questions such as Is cultural diversity bad for social solidarity In times of

crisis when resources are scarce what are the political and policy prerequisites for social solidarity in a cultur-ally diverse society

Is cultural diversity a burden for society or is it an advan-tage that favours growth and human development

In studying the economics of cultural diversity research and policy advice focus on Cultural Diversity for Growth to analyse in particular the business case for diversity (cultur-al diversity as a positive factor in creativity productivity and marketing) and Culture as a Lever of Growth and Devel-opment to investigate cultural diversity as expressed in the multi-faceted artistic and cultural landscape of diverse so-cieties as a lever for employment creation and innovation

GLOBALSTAT DATABASE

The GlobalStat database (online in Autumn 2014) aims to address the basic need for statistical data on develop-ments in a globalised world which are key to evidence-based analysis and informed decision-making in global governance The database focuses on globalisation sus-tainable development and human well-being presenting country-level data on the economic and political founda-tion of global human interaction as well as on their key environmental social and societal aspects With this fo-cus GlobalStat follows a broad and informed approach to globalisation as well as its triggers drivers and effects and provides detailed information on the way human beings live what freedoms they enjoy and what limitations they face As a freely accessible tool it offers citizens academ-ics stakeholders and policymakers an excellent source of information to strengthen their knowledge base on the many aspects and multiple impacts of globalisationData are grouped under 12 thematic and three horizontal areas most strongly exposed to the effects of globalisationMoreover data on global trends are taken up in order to highlight potential future paths The section on trends re-flects the inter-generational component which a sustain-

able globalisation path has to pay tribute to in order to increase the sustainable quality of human lives This sec-tion also offers interpretations of the data presented as to sustainable livelihood national wealth human well-being and quality of life Data presented in GlobalStat relate whenever possible to the period from the 1960s to today and include country level data for all 193 UN Member States UN institutions and international bodies are the key statistical sources of the database Among GlobalStatrsquos collaboration partners are Eurostat the FAO the Fund for Peace the Legatum Institute the ILO the OECD SSF Transparency Interna-tional the UN and the World BankStarting in 2011 an intense conceptualisation phase result-ed in GlobalStatrsquos design and selection of indicators Since 2012 a huge amount of data has been collected and pro-cessed The GlobalStat website was designed during 2013 GlobalStat (September 2011 ndash December 2014) is devel-oped and co-financed by the Global Governance Pro-gramme and the Portuguese Fundaccedilatildeo Francisco Ma-nuel dos Santos The research project involves a team of researchers from both partner institutions

RESEARCH PROJECTS

GLOBAL GOVERNANCE BY INDICATORS

This research project examines the development application and impact of indicators composite indicators and indices in global governance and global administrative law It seeks to understand these differently institutionalised governance forms and investigates questions of democracy and accountability that accompany their deployment in global governance and law It therefore focuses on analysis of indicators as instruments of global governance that impact on actorsrsquo behaviour in global governance contexts potentially bypassing traditional public authority-based forms of global governance and international law

As instruments of global governance indicators not only quantify and simplify empirical phenomena to help

understand complex realities and to quantify measures They also help to measure and evaluate many aspects of global governance be it State action policy-specific developments or international institutions

Composite indicators and indices are applied to describe and measure multidimensional concepts (such as sustainable development governance human well-being or competitiveness) as well as the performance of States international or regional organisations and different domains of policy implementation These measures are therefore often closely connected to policy judgements and prescriptions and may become a means of benchmarking and standard-setting

Nehal Bhuta is Professor of Public International Law at the Law De-partment of the European Univer-sity Institute and Co-director of the Global Governance by Indicators research project together with Dr Gaby UmbachHe previously taught at the New School for Social Research and at the University of Toronto His scholarship ranges from human-rights law humanitarian law and

international criminal law to social and political theory and the history and theory of international law He is a member of the board of edi-tors of the European Journal of In-ternational Law and of the Journal of International Criminal Justice Constellations and Humanity He has also previously worked as a re-searcher for Human Rights Watch and for the International Center for Transitional Justice

ITHACAINTEGRATION TRANSNATIONAL MOBILITY AND HUMAN SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CAPITAL TRANSFERS

This project studies the links between integration of mi-grants and their transnational mobilityOver the past couple of decades rich empirical research in the field of transnational migration studies has high-lighted that migrants engage in transnational mobility for an array of reasons ranging from economic to emo-tional or political ties with their country of origin

ITHACA aims to answer three key questions To what extent and in what ways do integration

conditions in the country of destination encourage transnational mobility

What are the conditions in the country of origin that may encourage transnational mobility

What type of transfers take place through the trans-national mobility of migrants

The project launched in 2013 focuses on economic integration and mobility conditions as factors that en-courage or prevent transnational mobility

Through a comparative study extensive fieldwork and a survey it aims to Map transnational mobility flows in four migration systems (North Africa-EU Western Balkans-EU Eastern Europe-EU and South Asia-EU)

Assess the human social and economic capital trans-fers generated by mobility flows

Identify the integration policies and mobility frame-work conditions that foster transnational mobility and human social and economic capital transfers

Draw policy-relevant recommendations for the design of policies and mobility frameworks at the EU level

The European University Institute with Professor Anna Triandafyllidou coordinates a research consortium with participation by the Real Instituto Elcano London Metropolitan University and the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) in ViennaITHACA is funded by DG Home of the European Com-mission (2013-2015)

DEMANDATADDRESSING DEMAND IN ANTI-TRAFFICKING EFFORTS AND POLICIES

DemandAT examines the history economics and politics of anti-trafficking measures and explores how effective they have been in practice By delivering theoretical and em-pirical background knowledge the project aims at feeding EU and national policy-making to ultimately eliminate or at least reduce suffering from the worst forms of exploita-tion Trafficking in human beings covers a range of forms of forced labour and exploitation of women men and chil-dren While responses to trafficking have traditionally fo-cused on combating the criminal networks involved in traf-ficking or protecting the human rights of victims European countries are increasingly exploring ways of influencing de-mand for the services or products of those trafficked within their own economies and societies ndash for example through criminalising clients better control of recruitment agencies or fair trade campaigns

The project coordinated by the International Centre for Mi-gration Policy Development investigates demand in Traf-ficking of HumanBeings (THB) and related policies from a multi- and interdisciplinary perspective across a wide range of fields ndash migration development or labour studies It combines a broad mapping of conceptual and theoreti-cal issues and evidence in specific lsquofieldsrsquo with empirical in-depth analysis of case studies of demand in THB and re-lated policies Based on research in seven different countries ndash Belgium the UK France Greece Italy Cyprus and the Netherlands ndash the Global Governance Programme research team led by Professor Anna Triandafyllidou examines de-mand for trafficking in human beings in the domestic work sector the motivations and the profits behind it and the cir-cumstances that allow it to take place DemandAT is funded by the 7th Framework Programme of the EU (2014-2017)

Kristina Czura is a Jean Monnet Fellow in the Global Economics research area of the Global Governance Pro-grammeAs a development economist she applies microeconomic methods ndash especially programme evaluation techniques in randomised control trials and natural experiments ndash and experimental economic techniques in laboratory ex-periments in the field on the nexus of financial product design in microfinance vulnerability and risk coping and client welfare She is especially interested in how house-holds use microfinance products to cope with adverse income shocks and in how such products should be de-signed to meet microfinance client needsDr Czura completed her PhD from the Goethe University Frankfurt in 2012 after earning a Masterrsquos degree in Eco-nomics from the University of Muenster and Stockholm University During her PhD she empirically analysed (a) high repayment rates and extensive levels of peer pun-ishmen t in group lending schemes observed in reality using a lab-in-the-field experiment (b) the influence of aggregate shocks and natural disasters on credit demand in local financial intermediation using observational data and a natural disaster as a natural experiment and (c) re-payment flexibility to improve the impact of microcredit on borrower welfare using a randomised control trial The regional focus of her PhD thesis was South Asia where she conducted field research in India and Sri LankaBefore joining the EUI she worked at the CERDI develop-ment research centre in Clermont Ferrand as a post-doc-toral researcher on index-based microinsurance products against climatic shocks for poor households in Senegal The research comprised a household survey on household

risk profiles and lab-in-the-field experiments studying ag-ricultural investment decisions and willingness to pay for flexible and non-flexible index insurance products

Research project Microfinance Products and Clientsrsquo PreferencesDuring her Jean Monnet Fellowship Dr Czura studies preferences of actual and potential clients of an aquacul-ture microinsurance scheme in southern Vietnam The study comprises analyses of risk and time preferences of shrimp farmers and their preferences regarding specific attributes of a microinsurance scheme This information will be elicited in household surveys individual experi-ments regarding time and risk preferences and discrete choice experiments (DCEs) regarding particular prefer-ences DCEs are a quantitative technique used to elicit individual preferences between products characterized by several attributes Since this method involves asking individuals to state their preferences over hypothetical different specification of the various attributes character-izing the product the answers can be used to infer the significance of the separate attributes in individual pref-erences and the rate at which individuals are willing to trade between them Based on this information and on an existing microinsurance scheme variations of the microinsurance scheme are to be developed The lab-in-the-field experiments test how clients change their invest-ment behaviour with respect to different microinsurance schemes how much they value particular attributes of the insurance scheme and how behavioural changes and willingness to pay are related to individual risk and time preferences

Research project Muscular liberalisms On the rheto-ric and practice of Muslim incorporation in EuropeDr Dobbernackrsquos research project investigates the re-

lationship between on the one hand the assertion of liberal principles by political actors and on the other public policy initiatives that respond to challenges asso-ciated with the Muslim presence in Europe The research focuses on the political rhetoric of lsquomuscular liberalismrsquo which it defines as the public request for liberalism to become more lsquogutsyrsquo demanding and hands-on Its key concern is to explore the significance of this rhetoric for policies that seek to integrate Muslim populationsThe project explores different domains ndash cultural civic and socio-economic ndash in which Muslims have become an object of concern for their alleged lack of compliance with liberal norms The project selectively works through significant speeches events and public policy initiatives including debates about lsquoSharia Courtsrsquo in the UK and the regulation of male circumcision in Germany and inquires when lsquomuscular liberalismrsquo becomes politically effective and in what form It also asks what significance if any muscular rhetoric has in situations where there is no corresponding programme of political change It thus contributes to a wider interest in how significant differ-ences are construed in changing accounts of European and national identities

Research project Sympathy and Immigrations in EuropeDr Ishimatsursquos research examines the concept of ldquosympa-thyrdquo a concept that he relates to the notion of ldquoempathyrdquo a form of sharing with others as a basis for cohesion in multicultural societiesHis work focuses on societies that comprise a relatively high ratio of migrant populations ndash such as the UK Den-mark and the Netherlands ndash with a view to combating the marginalisation of immigrants and favouring their integration into society After analysing core elements and conditions of sympathy in the light of different un-derstandings of this concept Dr Ishimatsu aims to inves-tigate the extent to which sympathy can become a useful concept in understanding and resolving issues and prob-lems of culturally diverse societies From a theoretical point of view his research looks at how sympathy relates to notions such as tolerance acceptance respect recog-nition or indeed intolerance rejection and marginalisa-tion His research also studies the relationship between sympathy and national identity From an empirical per-spective Dr Ishimatsu plans to conduct qualitative inter-views with policy officers at national and local level to collect their views on what could form a normative basis for the successful integration of immigrants

Olayinka I Kareem is a Jean Monnet Fellow in the Global Economics research area of the Global Govern-ance Programme Dr Kareem is an economist special-ising in trade trade policies and development and has

written extensively in these areas of economics Specifi-cally he has published books and chapters in books such as ldquoTrade Restrictions and Market Access for Africarsquos Ex-portsrdquo articles such as ldquoThe Effects of the EU and Chinarsquos Trade Agreements on Africarsquos Exportsrdquo Prior to joining the GGP he was a Global South Scholar at the Graduate Institute in Geneva a senior research fellow at the Cen-tre for Public-Private Cooperation (CPPC) an associate member of the UNCTAD Virtual Institute and a mem-ber of the International Economic Relations Network (IERN) University of Barcelona He was a fellow of the Journal of African Economies Centre for the Study of African Economies (CSAE) Department of Economics University of Oxford and Senior Member of St Anthonyrsquos College University of Oxford Dr Kareem was formerly an Impact Evaluation Consultant at the World Bank Ni-geria Country Office on the Commercial Agriculture Development Project (CADP) and has also consulted for the UNCTAD Virtual Institute in the Trade and Pov-erty Project the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) in the Analyses of Contemporary Protectionism Project as well as having research collaboration with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) Dr Kareem received his PhD in Economics from the Uni-versity of Ibadan the title of his thesis was ldquoThe Effects of Market Access Conditions on Africarsquos Exportsrdquo He has held teaching positions in Nigeria

Research project The European Union (EU) Technical Barriers to Trade and Africarsquos Exports Evidence from Product StandardsAvailable evidence has shown that tariffs as obstacles to the flow of trade are collapsing and that the major challenges to global trade flows are Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs) of which product standards are important To this end the research project of Dr Kareem investigates the intensive and extensive impact on trade margins of applied standards on products relevant to Africa such as cocoa coffee horticulture and fish The research pro-ject builds on the findings of Dr Kareemrsquos PhD thesis according to which despite tariffs not being major hin-drances to African exports to the EU and US markets the magnitude of the effects of non-tariff barriers is high In line with these findings Dr Kareem continued his re-search at the Graduate Institute of Geneva to determine the impact of non-tariff barriers on exports to the EU and US markets The outcome of this research was that anti-dumping and countervailing measures have mar-ginal effects on exports therefore it is more an empiri-cal matter whether NTBs significantly impact on exports from Africa to the EU market In his current research

Lei Liu is a Jean-Monnet fellow at the Global Govern-ance Programme He holds a PhD from Peking Universi-ty (2011) and a Bachelorrsquo degree from Wuhan University (2005) both in Environmental Science He was a visit-ing scholar of the Vincent and Elinor Ostrom Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana Uni-versity (Sep 2009- Sep 2010) under the mentorship of Dr Elinor Ostrom 2009 Nobel laureate in Economics His research interests include energy and environmen-tal policy urban and regional sustainability as well as environmental input-output analysis His past research experience include policy design for local environmen-tal governance in Shenzhen and Yunnan investigation of CO2 emissions embodied in Chinarsquos industrial sectors and foreign trade low-carbon transition of China and the global climate governance strategy Dr Liu has also worked for Shenzhen municipal environmental agency His current work deals with the allocation of embodied emissions in international trade against a backdrop of the controversy over the production or consumption-based emissions inventory in the current climate regime

Research project Production-Based or Consumption-Based The Allocation of CO2 Emissions Embodied in International TradeUnder the current territorial system boundary used by the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change) national CO2 emissions are defined on the basis of production With an ever-growing geo-graphical distance in global trade between production and consumption this mechanism has been criticised for not taking into consideration international transpor-tation as well as potentially causing carbon leakage and

for ignoring the environmental impact of consumption and other factors Therefore many studies argue that a consumption-based mechanism should be applied un-der which the emissions inventory for a country should be accounted according to its consumption instead of its production However under consumption-based mechanisms CO2-producing countries ndash while gaining economic benefit from exports ndash are not held responsi-ble for their emissions and are not encouraged to adopt cleaner production technologies Producing and con-suming countries should instead share the responsibility for emissions embodied in their trade The purpose of this research project is to find a sharing mechanism ac-ceptable to a large number of countries so that a robust climate agreement can be achieved The method is based on a series of principles covering several considerations including international relationships and multi-layer and multi-angle economic and climate equity In addi-tion based on the theoretical method empirical analysis is applied

Research project Intra-Industry Trade Political Institutions and Levels of Protection in OECD CountriesIn her PhD thesis ldquoThe New Politics of the New Trade the Political Economy of Intra-Industry Traderdquo Dr Ma-deira developed and tested a model of the effects of intra-industry trade on the structure of lobbying coa-litions in developed economies She argued that intra-industry trade undermines both class-based and indus-try-based trade coalitions as the gains and losses from this type of trade are located at the firm level rather than the industry level Exporting firms gain from trade liberalization while non-exporting firms lose The result of such competing preferences is more active lobbying by individual firms rather than by trade associations Dr Madeira found supportive evidence for this thesis in the US case as well as cross-nationally Building on this research she is working on a case study of trade policy lobbying in the European Union Through interviews with firms and trade associations as well as through ex-amination of coalitional patterns and lobbying data Dr Madeira investigates how an industryrsquos trade structure affects the ability of its firms to form cohesive trade pol-icy preferences and political coalitions The aim of her research project at the Global Governance Programme is to analyse when and why individual firms lobby alone for their preferred trade policies versus forming politi-cal coalitions

SABRINAMARCHETTI

The project focuses on the case of Polish Ukrainian and Georgian women who in recent years have arrived in Italy to find employment in the home-care sector Italian house-holds and social services that have employed trained and counselled these women are examinedBased on in-depth interviews with Eastern European home-care workers and Italian employers with key inform-ants from the social and municipal services and on partici-pant observation in womenrsquos gatherings the project aims to address among others the following interrelated questions

How have Eastern migrant workersrsquo migratory strate-gies impacted the local reality they inhabit in Western Europe as result of their economic cultural and social participation in it How has this changed over time comparing workers of different nationalities

How do different publicprivate actors re-negotiate over time their competences in order to respond to changes taking place in their local reality with regard to the governance of labour welfare and diversity due to the arrival of different groups of eastern European workers

How do Western families respond over time to the chal-lenges posed by the increase in diversity and ethnic based segmentation of the labour market in their local context in their role of employers of Eastern Europeans of differ-ent nationalities

and comparative political economy framework her doc-toral thesis examined the institutional conditions that fa-cilitate or hinder improvements in working conditions in the electronics industry through complementary inter-actions across national public and transnational private governance approaches This work was based on more than four years of field research in Eastern Central Eu-rope where she conducted extensive interviews and vis-ited several electronics manufacturing plants that supply lead corporations from more advanced economies Prior to receiving her PhD from MIT in 2013 she earned a Masterrsquos degree in Applied Sociology from the Univer-sity of Massachusetts and a Bachelorrsquos degree in Business Economics from the West University of Timisoara

Research project Environmental Governance of Global Supply Chains Understanding Regulatory ComplementaritiesDuring her Jean Monnet fellowship Dr Pal analyses the implementation of corporate environmental governance efforts in the electronics industry and the complementary interactions of governance of global production chains with public regulation in different national settingsOne important aspect of the manifest inadequacy of global environmental governance efforts to curb climate change lies in weak environmental regulation in emerg-ing markets where an increasing share of manufacturing takes place Governments of less advanced economies often lack the capacity andor will to regulate effectively the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other pollutants An important measure in addressing this governance gap consists in private transnational govern-ance efforts by lead corporations to promote environ-mental responsibility throughout their supply chains These initiatives however are implemented in different national settings and can interact in a multitude of ways with other forms of regulationDr Pal uses a combination of qualitative and quantita-tive research methods and analysis to improve under-standing of the conditions that enable complementary interactions across private and public governance ap-proaches in global production chains The quantitative analysis draws on a unique dataset compiled through a collaborative research initiative between a lead corpora-tion in the electronics industry (Hewlett Packard) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology led by Pro-fessor Richard Locke This is complemented with exten-sive case study analysis of environmental practices and compliance performance of electronics manufacturing facilities located in Eastern European countries ndash par-ticularly in Hungary Romania and the Czech Republic

Research project The roots of the European model the evolving relationship between social cohesion democracy and povertyDoes the so-called European model exist The concept is still vague and the values traditionally associated with it are being questioned in the middle of the worst economic crisis since 1929The recurrent debate about the organisation of politi-cal and socio-economic structures has been histori-cally polarised between a liberal or market model and a social cohesion model The former emphasises the individual as the basis of the system and insists on a reduced role of the State in favour of the private enter-prise The latter is related to the existence of a number of organisations representing different interests which are supported or created by the State and directly linked to the democratic functioning of so-called developed capitalismThe particular development of democratic structures in Europe and its socio-economic evolution have created a strong link between the existence and protection of a series of rights and the robustness of the democratic system In order to clarify the potential European mod-el Dr Rodriacuteguezrsquos research project aims at conducting a comparative assessment of the liberal and the social cohesion models with a critical analysis and a synthet-ic approach In particular Dr Rodriacuteguez investigates whether and how the instrumental and recurrent use of ideology throughout history has produced an obfus-cation of the options offered by the opposing models The research project furthermore analyses political and

social responses to the poor and excluded which in turn provide the tools to assess and define the socio-economic structure of a society

temporal allowances trading under the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) by presenting a new theoretical and empirical investigation of so-called banking of emission permits The EU ETS is the biggest international cap and trade system launched Within the defined cap firms receive allowances for emissions that can be traded If trading among firms in the same period has been largely studied trading through time has re-ceived less attention However experience with the EU ETS reveals that about 15 billion of European Union al-lowances were potentially banked in 2012 An important feature of banking decisions by firms is their discount rate Previous literature characterised banking by firms as if a single agent was making the decision Their po-tential heterogeneity in appreciation of future events has been largely ignored This project would be one of the first attempts to analyse the effect of heterogeneity in dis-count rates on banking decisions by firms in a climate change programme First a model of allowance banking will be developed Then it will be tested using a database containing compliance and transaction data in the entire EU ETS for Phases I and II (2005 ndash 2012) Data come from the EU Commission Community Independent Transactions Log (CITL) recently called EUTL Finally the policy implications of intertemporal allowances trad-ing in the EU ETS will be discussed

Research project FEMIDEFemale Migration from Developed Countries in Southern EuropeDr Isaakyanrsquos research project investigates the socio-economic integration of high-skilled migrant women from Anglophone countries in Italy and Greece aiming to address among others the following key questions and their policy implications who are these high-skill migrant women What are the obstacles they face to their integration in the labour market and the host so-ciety FEMIDE considers to what extent the reality of their integration differs from existing discourses of inte-gration in the EU The electronic survey which is an im-portant element of this project can be accessed onlineThe findings show that the majority of high-skill mi-grant women settle in Southern Europe as ldquomarriage migrantsrdquo (married to Italian and Greek men) The cross-border marriage often creates a breeding ground for sharpened nationalistic sentiments within the host community negatively affecting the integration process The most successfully integrated women are those who manage to have their professionalism acknowledged and who make best use of the social capitalnet of their husbands andor of their communities (rather than of the resources offered by expatriatesrsquo clubs) The findings suggest that it is crucial for receiving countries to adopt more flexible integration policies which should take into account gender and family issues to draw on migrant human capital

Research project International Trade and Public Procurement RegulationDr Georgopoulosrsquos research project examines trends in international trade in the field of government public procurement as they emerge from the recent successful

renegotiation of the Government Procurement Agree-ment (GPA) under the auspices of the World Trade Or-ganization (WTO) ongoing EU regulatory initiatives in the area and an increasing number of bilateral Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) that include chapters on pub-lic procurement In particular the project aims to exam-ine whether the new GPA is appropriately equipped to achieve the ambitions of its drafters namely the emer-gence of the latter not only as a forum for regulation of a lucrative field of international trade but also as an agent for transparency good governance and multilateral-ism In addition the project examines to what extent the GPA can become a vehicle for integrating develop-ing countries in what used to be a ldquodeveloped countries clubrdquo Finally the project also analyses whether the in-creasing trend of bilateral FTAs that contain detailed provisions on public procurement support or ultimately undermine the multilateralplurilateral approach in the field of international public procurement regulation

In the last twenty years a profound change has occurred in the organisation of the world economy and world poli-tics an epochal transition to a transnational orderdisor-der characterised by deep interdependence and mutual vulnerability among regions States and societies The in-tensification of linkages and connections across regions countries and societies driven by technology the ICT revolution trade international business aid mobility of people and ideas is transformative for society in all re-gions of the worldThe period of uncontested American unipolarity defined by US economic political and military hegemony is waning the emerging multi-polarity is an increasingly pronounced feature of the international system under-lined by the transcendence of the G8 of western powers by the G20 The growing weight of emerging economies ndash notably China India and Brazil ndash points to a relative decline in the power of the US and Europe especially

within the international political economy Pressing de-mands exist for public goods at the regional and interna-tional level but significant barriers to their provision In the absence of a global consensus underpinned by a world community of citizens and strong global institutions the emerging transnational order lacks sufficient capacity to deliverIn this context the research conducted at the Global Gov-ernance Programme aims to identify the medium and long term challenges that the world faces and possible directions to follow in addressing them The Global Governance Pro-gramme engages in lsquoBig Argumentsrsquo and lsquoBig Issuesrsquo Global thinkers and leaders academics as well as policy and decision makers constitute the pool of experts on which the Programme can draw for inspired and cutting-edge debates of relevance to the problems facing the world The Programme fosters dialogue between the worlds of research and policy at the highest level of quality and in a fair-minded way and seeks to contribute robust critical thinking to questions of policy and institutional design The policy dimension is a core feature of the Programme which has offered an exceptional forum for prominent leaders to attain a research-led approach to issues on the policy agenda This was the case for example concern-ing governance of the monetary union during the euro crisis and discussions within the EU on the raison drsquoecirctre of the single currency the Global Governance Programme hosted high level discussions with central players such as Joseacute Manuel Duratildeo Barroso (President of the European Commission) and Vitor Constacircncio (Vice-President of the European Central Bank) More recently a group of prominent experts including Ben Emmerson (UN Special Rapporteur on Counter-terrorism and Human Rights) Gilles de Kerchove (EU Counterterrorism Coor-dinator) Christof Heyns (UN Special Rapporteur on Ex-trajudicial Summary or Arbitrary Executions) discussed with academics affiliated to and convened by the Global Governance Programme the direction and development
