国家与国际组织互动关系的“委托-代理”解释框架

在百年未有之大变局叠加新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情的冲击下,作为全球治理主干的众多国际组织面临着深度调整。在这一背景下,厘清主权国家与国际组织的互动机理,深入研究并思考中国应如何主动介入和引导国际组织的变革,已经成为具有重要战略价值的课题。与长期以来主导国际组织研究的主流国际政治理论不同,源于经济学的“委托-代理”理论为分析成员国与国际组织之间的复杂关系和互动逻辑提供了启发性视角。在国家与国际组织复杂的“委托-代理”模型下,国际组织的行为与政策偏好将综合取决于成员国、成员国在国际组织内部的代表、国际组织的秘书处和行政首长等主要行为体在国际组织的决策过程中处于什么位置以及能够施加多大影响。这为我们更全面地认识国际组织,提升我国在国际组织中的影响力与话语权带来了启示。

The Interaction between States and International Organizations under the Principal-Agent Theory

Under the impact of momentous changes unseen in a century and the COVID-19,many international organizations as the backbone of global governance are facing deep adjustment.In this context,it has become an important issue of strategic value to clarify the interaction mechanism between sovereign states and international organizations and deeply study and think about how China should actively intervene and guide the reform of international organizations.Different from the mainstream international political theories that have dominated the study of international organizations for a long time,principal-agent theory derived from economics provides an enlightening perspective for analyzing the complex relations and interactive logic between member states and international organizations.Under the complex principal-agent model of States and international organizations,the behavior and policy preference of international organizations will depend on the position of member states,the representatives of member states in international organizations,the Secretariat and executive heads of international organizations in the decision-making process of international organizations and how much influence they can exert.This will give us a enlightenment to understand international organizations more comprehensively and enhance our influence and discourse power in international organizations.
