Are all organizations similarly deficient? And how does the European Union (EU), the target par excellence of the criticisms, fare in comparative perspective? In this paper, we take a first step towards answering these questions by leveraging the rich debate on the EU to identify several institutional dimensions of democratic legitimacy and operationalizing them for comparative analysis. We then investigate the most important regional economic organizations (REOs) in the world. Our findings are three-fold: (i) there is systematic variation across REOs, with a group doing rather well, one mixed, and one poorly; (ii) procedural dimensions fare better than those related to representation or local self-determination; (iii) no organization exhibits or lacks legitimacy in all dimensions. These results qualify the perception that democratic legitimacy deficits are indiscriminately pervasive and indicate that the EU belongs to the most democratically legitimate group."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1080/03085147.2017.1377946"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/63099"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.issn","0308-5147"],["dc.relation.issn","1469-5766"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Sozialwissenschaftliche Fakultät"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Politikwissenschaft"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Arbeitsbereich Globales Regieren & Komparative Regionalismusforschung"],["dc.title","Democratic legitimacy in regional economic organizations: the European Union in comparative perspective"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

This article proposes a cognitive diffusion mechanism – termed frame diffusion – to explain convergent institutional choices across structurally diverse settings. Using Strang and Meyer’s (1993) notion of ‘theorization’ to combine foundational work on framing with the literature on diffusion, I argue that processes of theorization transform the experience of successful institutional innovators into abstract cognitive schemas, which link a particular understanding of a cooperation problem to specific institutional solutions. As policymakers in other contexts encounter similar cooperation problems, they adopt framed institutional solutions, which results in institutional convergence at the macro level. I further suggest that this process of frame diffusion is conditional on ideational affinities in social purpose between the innovating organization and other regional organizations. Where other organizations pursue a distinct social purpose, policymakers rely on alternative frames and thereby cement institutional variation. After developing this argument theoretically, I illustrate it in an exploratory comparison of institutional choice in three most different regional organizations: Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Common Market of the South, and the Southern African Development Community. The argument points to significant ‘blind spots’ and conceptual complementarity between prominent mechanisms of diffusion."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1017/S1752971917000136"],["dc.identifier.eissn","1752-9727"],["dc.identifier.issn","1752-9719"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/73407"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-354"],["dc.relation.issn","1752-9719"],["dc.relation.issn","1752-9727"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Sozialwissenschaftliche Fakultät"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Politikwissenschaft"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Arbeitsbereich Globales Regieren & Komparative Regionalismusforschung"],["dc.title","Frame diffusion and institutional choice in regional economic cooperation"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

This work has provided a welcome corrective to endogenously-focused accounts of RIOs. Nevertheless, by focusing on the final design of policies and institutional arrangements, it has been conceptually overly narrow. This has led to a truncated understanding of diffusion's impact and to an unjustified view of convergence as its primary outcome. Drawing on public policy and sociological research, we offer a conceptual framework that seeks to remedy these weaknesses by disaggregating the decision-making process on the 'receiving' side. We suggest that policies and institutional arrangements in RIOs result from three decision-making stages: problematisation (identification of something as a political problem), framing (categorisation of the problem and possible solutions), and scripting (design of final solutions). Diffusion can affect any combination of these stages. Consequently, its effects are more varied and potentially extensive than is currently recognised, and convergence and persistent variation in scripting are both possible outcomes. We illustrate our framework by re-evaluating research on dispute settlement institutions in the EEC, NAFTA, and SADC. We conclude by discussing its theoretical implications and the conditions that likely promote diffusion."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1017/S0260210515000479"],["dc.identifier.isi","000384422800010"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/39396"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation.issn","1469-9044"],["dc.relation.issn","0260-2105"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Sozialwissenschaftliche Fakultät"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Politikwissenschaft"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Arbeitsbereich Globales Regieren & Komparative Regionalismusforschung"],["dc.title","Regionalism and diffusion revisited: From final design towards stages of decision-making"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
