Transparency and Its Discontents: How IO Transparency Influences Domestic Resistance to Government Reforms
Sammanfattning
How do international organizations influence domestic transparency? Studies
typically contend that in order to be instrumental in promoting good government
institutions, international organizations have to embody these norms in their own
work. International organizations (IOs) have recently implemented a number of
reforms to open up certain official documents and proceedings to public access. These
reforms are generally expected to promote support for transparency in member
countries. We suggest that one important and overlooked condition determines the
ability of international organizations to meet these expectations: the quality of IO
decision making, defined as its effectiveness, predictability and fairness. The paper
develops these ideas theoretically and presents a study on how these reforms influence
perceptions of the merits and drawbacks of transparency among senior government
officials in environmental ministries, involved in projects seeking finance through the
Clean Development Mechanisms and the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of
the Montreal Protocol.
