17. Accordion Governance

Author

Berman, Ayelet

Abstract

Since the 1990s, western, developed countries have moved away from rule-making and standard-setting in multilateral intergovernmental organizations and have increasingly collaborated on those matters in clubs of developed countries, such as trans-governmental regulatory networks. Although clubs often generate rules or standards that affect developing countries, the latter have not had a voice in rule-making, resulting in a ‘participation gap’, for which clubs are being criticized. Against this background, I analyse a recent development that has largely gone unnoticed: Clubs have been integrating previously excluded developing countries. From small and exclusive clubs, they are growing into larger and more inclusive clubs. I call this trajectory of the past seventy years – the establishment of intergovernmental organizations, their increasing displacement in favour of clubs, and the recent reversion towards larger clubs – accordion governance. Like an accordion that expands or contracts as needed, so too have governance models and rule-making adjusted to changing conditions and preferences by becoming more or less inclusive. Focusing on club expansion, I address three questions: (1) How has participation – and the rules governing it – evolved over time? (2) Why are governments voluntarily sharing rule-making authority with new participants? (3) Can these reforms close the participation gap in international rule-making?

Abstract

Informal lawmaking is characterized by an involvement of non-traditional actors. This chapter analyses actor informality by looking at two key forms: 'international agencies' and 'harmonization networks'. International agencies are international bodies that are based on a decision by an international governmental organization. Harmonization networks are international networks of national public regulatory authorities that are in the business of harmonizing their rules or setting standards or other norms. The purpose of the chapter is to define the status of bodies involved in informal international lawmaking (IN-LAW) and to argue why clarity about legal status is important in relation to the question of accountability.

24. Emergency Action by the WTO Director-General: Global Administrative Law and the WTO's Initial Response to the 2008–09 Financial Crisis.

Abstract

The WTO's initial reaction to the 2008–2009 financial crisis was taken mainly by its managerial arm, that is, by the Director-General (DG) and the Secretariat and not by its legislative or judicial bodies. This is a novelty for the WTO and illustrates the emergence, even at the otherwise hard-law WTO, of informal administrative actions that go beyond the traditional member-dominated WTO. The actions were in two areas: The DG convened trade finance expert meetings with other organizations and private banks, and the Secretariat prepared reports on trade-related measures enacted across the globe in response to the crisis. The article examines these actions in light of certain concepts and principles of the GAL project. Overall, the Director-General was sensitive in his actions to GAL principles.
