Academic Exchanges on Sanctions in International Organisations and Ocean Regionalism
This month saw UNU-CRIS Research Fellow Frank Mattheis contribute to two prominent academic conferences focused on regional and international governance.
Firstly, the (virtual) General Conference of the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) that welcomed over 2,400 scholars worldwide for five days of academic exchanges (30 August – 3 September 2021), showcased a paper authored by Mattheis with Ueli Staeger (University of Geneva). Presented under the section 21st Century International Organisations: Power, Politics, and Global Policy Making, the paper focused on:
- How regional and international organisations react when their member states do not pay their assessed contributions;
- The different sanctions regimes and specific applications of these regimes against member states;
- The discourse on the changing face of resource mobilisation in IOs and innovation in institutional design.
