ABSTRACT

Strengths and weaknesses of IO staff

Policy implementation in an intergovernmental organization (IGO) takes the form of co-implementation by two staff groups: international officials and national staffers recruited from the host state. This paper conceptualizes and empirically evaluates the relative strengths and weaknesses of the two groups. Based on an original staff survey, it finds as one distinct strength of international staff their impartiality towards local actors. In comparison, national staff have three strengths in the alignment of IGO activities with local environment, in seamless interactions with locals, and in gaining the trust of the host country. However, the patterns of disagreement in survey responses further point to important divisions between staff groups that may impede the performance of IGOs in policy implementation.

国际组织的政策实施:国家和国际工作人员优势和劣势的比较分析

摘要

IO员工的优势和劣势

政府间组织 (IGO) 的政策实施采取由两个工作人员团体共同实施的形式:国际官员和从东道国招聘的国家工作人员。本文概念化并实证评估了两组的相对优势和劣势。根据一项最初的员工调查,它发现国际员工的一个明显优势是他们对当地参与者的公正性。相比之下,国家工作人员在 IGO 活动与当地环境的结合、与当地人的无缝互动以及获得东道国信任方面具有三个优势。然而,调查答复中的分歧模式进一步指出了工作人员群体之间的重要分歧,这可能会阻碍政府间组织在政策实施中的表现。
