“…Third, if overlaps remain unmanaged, the potential negative consequences are more likely to turn into reality. As research on inter-organizational relations suggests, RIOs can draw on a large toolkit of coping mechanisms to manage their relationships, such as cooperation, coordination and division of labour (Biermann and Koops, 2017;Panke and Stapel, forthcoming). The OVREG database provides crucial independent variables (overlap types as well as raw data on shared member states and identical policy competencies), which might influence when and why RIOs select particular coping mechanisms.…”

Regional cooperation often leads to the establishment of regional international organizations (RIOs). Due to the increasing number of RIOs, their growing membership size and their broadening policy scope, RIOs frequently overlap with each other with regard to membership and mandate. Overlaps may lead to conflicts amongst affected organizations and potentially limit the prospects for regional prosperity and peace. Although overlapping regionalism has become ubiquitous in many regions, we do not systematically know the extent of the phenomenon. Therefore, the paper presents an original dataset about overlapping regionalism and introduces a typology of overlaps between two RIOs. The OVREG dataset includes both raw data of shared member states and policy competencies and information about distinct types of overlap between affected RIOs for 73 RIOs, 193 states and 344 policy competencies in the period between 1945 and 2020. A descriptive analysis of trajectories and patterns shows that overlapping regionalism in general and the different overlap types have spread over time and across world regions. Nevertheless, regional particularities persist. Thus, the OVREG dataset allows for examining the causes of overlaps, the potential negative consequences of overlapping regionalism and the variety of coping mechanisms at the disposal of affected RIOs.

“…Combining the previous steps of analysis on the design, membership and values of individual ROs and the behavior of their bureaucracies, we proceed to looking at how these factors influence and are influenced by the RO-RO relations. The analysis of relations between international/regional organizations is still an emerging research field (Biermann & Koops 2017b); the proposed approaches have rarely been applied to Eurasian ROs (Biermann 2017). Practically, the relations between ROs are exercised primarily by their bureaucracies (which, in the Eurasian case, due to the widespread overlap of ROs are also closely intertwined -there have been cases of the same institution functioning on behalf of two ROs like the Economic Court of the CIS on behalf of the Eurasian Economic Community before 2010).…”

“…Beyond considerations of efficiency and autonomy, few authors have so far explored legitimacy considerations behindand implications ofglobal-regional peacekeeping cooperation (Biermann 2017). Most of these works assume that joint initiatives combine the relative legitimacy advantages of both sides.…”

UNAMID and the Legitimation of Global-Regional Peacekeeping Cooperation: Partnership and Friction in UN-AU Relations

The 'hybrid' United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) was initially hailed as a model for peacekeeping cooperation between the UN and African regional organizations. However, UNAMID soon faced contestation from different stakeholders, and the UN and the AU have now essentially abandoned the hybrid approach. The article reconstructs how the mission's deteriorating legitimacy relates to changing selflegitimation strategies by the two organizations. The UN and the AU pursued mutual legitimation when establishing UNAMID, but later mobilized historical narratives and diverging normative standards to promote competing authority claims. The article thus advances an understanding of inter-organizational relations as inherently political.
