"UN-Friedensoperationen sind seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges in zunehmendem Maße mit internationalen Übergangsverwaltungen verbunden, die ihrerseits eine Antwort auf 'zerfallende Staaten' und den Zusammenbruch öffentlicher Ordnung und Infrastruktur in Krisenregionen sind. Die sie kennzeichnenden Widersprüche zwischen Programmatik und Praxis der internationalen Gemeinschaft, so die Hypothese, werden durch Coping-Strategien der maßgeblichen politischen und institutionellen Akteure überbrückt. Zur Operationalisierung dieser Annahme wird ein modifiziertes Principal-Agent-Modell vorgestellt. Unterstellt wird, dass die 'Principals' auf der nationalen wie auf der internationalen Ebene sowohl ein Interesse am Scheitern internationaler Übergangsverwaltungen als auch ein Interesse an Unwissenheit über dieses Scheitern entwickeln können."

La pandémie de COVID-19 a joué un rôle de catalyseur des tensions internationales, en particulier entre la Chine et les États-Unis. Le président américain a fortement critiqué l'Organisation mondiale de la santé, accusée de servir les intérêts de Pékin et d'inefficacité.

Global governance challenges highlight the role of international institutions as problem-solving structures. Institutional design is, more than ever, relevant in this context. The academic literature on this issue is characterized by the existence of consolidated debates such as that of rationalism vs. constructivism, with a focus on making specific contributions to the rational design of international institutions. Koremenos, Lipson, and Snidal (2001) elaborated upon a series of cause-effect conjectures linking cooperation problems, considered independent variables, with institutional design features, considered dependent variables. This research aims to highlight the empirical evidence of the existing debate on this work by conducting a systematic review. Twenty-one quantitative research studies were collected through a screening and selection procedure and were subject to systematization. The findings showed asymmetric approaches to the rational design project, and agreements were the type of international institution that received the most attention from academia. Rationalism was supported by most of the body of literature. However, a broad subgroup of articles complemented this rational approach with other variables or schools of thought, such as those of constructivism and historical institutionalism. The results have relevance for the international institution design literature, as future avenues of potential research are underlined.
