“…This is particularly the case with respect to transnational health challenges, which can generate severe negative externalities among neighboring states. The literature on regionalism has explored the role of ROs as privileged platforms for articulating health governance through the coordination among states, international organizations, and foreign donors ( Deacon et al 2010 ; Riggirozzi and Yeates 2015 ; Bianculli and Hoffmann 2016 ). States engage in health governance initiatives within ROs for a variety of reasons, such as disease control, sharing best public health practices, attracting external funds, coordinating joint positions in multilateral fora, deflecting governance transfer by external actors, and regional powers’ leadership initiatives.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected virtually every aspect of life, for individuals, communities, nations, regions, and the international system. In this forum, scholars from around the world with diverse areas of expertise consider the contributions of international relations (IR) scholarship in our understanding of the politics and governance challenges surrounding the pandemic. The seven essays that follow together examine how our current state of knowledge speaks to the theme of ISA 2020: “Multiple Identities and Scholarship in a Global IR: One Profession, Many Voices.” Each essay features a research area and body of scholarship that both informs our understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic and reflects on how the pandemic challenges us to push our scholarship and intellectual community further. Together, these essays highlight the diversity of our discipline of IR and how its many voices may bring us together in one conversation. La pandemia de COVID-19 ha afectado prácticamente a todos los aspectos de la vida para las personas, las comunidades, las naciones, las regiones y el sistema internacional. En este foro, los académicos de todo el mundo con diversas áreas de experiencia consideran las contribuciones de los estudios de las relaciones internacionales (International Relations, IR) a nuestro entendimiento de la política y los desafíos de gobierno que rodean a la pandemia. Los siete ensayos a continuación analizan en conjunto cómo nuestro estado de conocimiento actual aborda el tema de la Asociación de Estudios Internacionales (International Studies Association, ISA) de 2020: “Múltiples identidades y estudios en una IR global: una profesión, muchas voces.” Cada ensayo presenta un área de investigación y un cuerpo de estudios que conforman nuestro entendimiento de la pandemia de COVID-19 y también reflexionan sobre cómo esta nos desafía a impulsar aún más a nuestra comunidad académica e intelectual. En conjunto, estos ensayos destacan la diversidad de nuestra disciplina de relaciones internacionales y cómo sus numerosas voces pueden juntarnos en una conversación. La pandémie de COVID 2019 a affecté pratiquement tous les aspects de la vie, que ce soit les individus, les communautés, les nations, les régions ou le système international. Dans cette tribune, des chercheurs du monde entier spécialisés dans divers domaines d'expertise réfléchissent aux contributions des recherches en relations internationales à notre compréhension des défis politiques et de gouvernance entourant la pandémie. Les sept essais ainsi réunis examinent la manière dont l’état actuel de nos connaissances aborde le thème de la convention 2020 de l'Association d’études internationales : « Identités et recherches multiples dans des relations internationales globales : une profession, de nombreuses voix ». Chaque essai présente un domaine de recherche et un corpus d’études qui éclaire notre compréhension de la pandémie de COVID 2019 tout en amenant une réflexion sur la façon dont la pandémie nous remet en question et nous pousse à aller plus loin dans nos recherches et notre communauté intellectuelle. Ensemble, ces essais mettent en évidence la diversité de notre discipline des relations internationales et la manière dont ses nombreuses voix peuvent nous réunir dans un débat.

“…Most recent contributions to the GSP literature, namely Leisering (2019), and Deeming and Smyth (2018) also touch upon the role of IOs, but focus more on the content of ideas and policy models than on issues of global governance. Other approaches to global social governance include Drubel's (2019) approach of regulative governance; and approaches to regional governance as in the Special Issue of GSP 15.3 (Riggirozzi and Yeates, 2015).…”

Exploring theoretical approaches to global social policy research: Learning from international relations and inter-organisational theory

Global Social Policy

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Global Social Policy (GSP) has established itself as a distinct field of research over the past 25 years. Without doubt one of the leading figure to this advancement was Bob Deacon. He integrated several explanations and approaches into social policy research that had so far been distinct in other disciplinary fields, including concepts of International Relations (IR). That allowed to explain more about policy autonomy, inter-action between actors at the global level and potential impacts of international organisations on national social policies. Combining IR, organisational studies and GSP, this article wants to go a step further in this vein of GSP theoretical studies. We seek to make a contribution by running through a number of recently popular inter-organisational relations approaches within an IR context, and discuss how, and to what extent, they can be used to make more profound theoretical claims about the nature of GSP. The article first summarises the state of the art in GSP research with a view on international actors, particularly international organisations. Then we describe the specific characteristics of international organisations in existing GSP research and provide a number of theoretical considerations from organisational studies as part of IR scholarship that help construct a more nuanced understanding of how global actors function and interact. We link the theoretical accounts to empirical examples from the GSP literature, and detect what, and how, approaches and frames from this field may usefully tackle challenges GSP scholarship is facing.

“…Moreover, regional social policies and regulations have largely escaped comparative scrutiny. Relevant exceptions include the first comparative study of social policy regionalism in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America by Deacon et al (2010) and the works by Riggirozzi and Yeates (2015) and Amaya et al (2015), who have explored the regional dimension of health policy across organizations in Southern Africa and South America. More specifically, this last study offers an analysis of the framing of health in foreign policy at the regional level in different regional organizations.…”

“…The introduction of new regional political and regulatory initiatives in the social policy domain symbolizes one of the latest changes in the regional cooperation landscape in Latin America but also beyond. These empirical developments have ushered in new analyses that paint an increasingly nuanced picture of the manner in which regional cooperation proceeds as new arrangements, which range from health and education to employment and migration, take place (see inter alia Bianculli and Ribeiro Hoffmann, 2016b, Riggirozzi and Yeates, 2015).…”

From free market to social policies? Mapping regulatory cooperation in education and health in MERCOSUR

Regional cooperation has been an enduring feature of Latin American politics for more than half a century. With the turn of the century, regional organizations moved beyond traditional free trade issues to embrace cooperation in broader social policy areas. A recent literature relates this change to the left turn in the region, especially in South America. Yet, in practice, relevant differences persist in terms of how social policy is regulated at the regional level. This article looks precisely into this variation. In essence, it studies regulatory cooperation in the Common Market of the South (MERCOSUR) and thus offers a comparative assessment of the institutions and policy instruments devised in two social areas: education and health. Using an original dataset on the documents passed by MERCOSUR between 1991 and 2016, the findings provide evidence that the definition of the policy problem matters as this affects the institutional mechanisms and the policy instruments and strategies devised to address them. In this context, different policy problem definitions seem to account for two distinct emerging patterns of social regulatory cooperation in the Southern Cone.
