This book examines the influence of the European Commission and the
European Court of Justice in the political and legal enforcement of
member state compliance in the EU. The authors show how the EU's
supranational institutions have played an independent role in the
creation of a European enforcement system that is exceptionally
effective compared to that of other international organizations.

The nature of global governance is changing, as are the standards
by which we judge its legitimacy. We are witnessing a gradual and
partial shift from inter-state co-operation to more complex forms
of governance, involving participation by transnational actors,
such as NGOs, party associations, philanthropic foundations and
corporations.

Once the exclusive preserve of member states, international
organizations have become increasingly open in recent decades. Now
virtually all international organizations at some level involve
NGOs, business actors and scientific experts in policy-making. This
book offers the first systematic and comprehensive analysis of this
development. Combining statistical analysis and in-depth case
studies, it maps and explains the openness of international
organizations across issue areas, policy functions and world
regions from 1950 to 2010. Addressing the question of where, how
and why international organizations offer transnational actors
access to global policy-making, this book has implications for
critical issues in world politics. When do states share authority
with private actors? What drives the design of international
organizations? How do activists and businesses influence global
politics? Is civil society involvement a solution to democratic
deficits in global governance?
Once staunch advocates of international cooperation, political
elites are increasingly divided over the merits of global
governance. Populist leaders attack international organizations for
undermining national democracy, while mainstream politicians defend
their importance for solving transboundary problems. Bridging
international relations, comparative politics, and cognitive
psychology, Lisa Dellmuth and Jonas Tallberg explore whether, when,
and why elite communication shapes the popular legitimacy of
international organizations. Based on novel theory, experimental
methods, and comparative evidence, they show that elites are
influential in shaping how citizens perceive global governance and
explain why some elites and messages are more effective than
others. The book offers fresh insights into major issues of our
day, such as the rise of populism, the power of communication, the
backlash against global governance, and the relationship between
citizens and elites. It will be of interest to scholars and
students of international organisations, and experimental and
survey research methods.

In this 2006 book, Jonas Tallberg offers a novel perspective on
some of the most fundamental questions about international
cooperation and European Union politics. Offering the first
systematic theoretical and empirical exploration of the influence
wielded by chairmen of multilateral negotiations, Tallberg develops
a rationalist theory of formal leadership and demonstrates its
explanatory power through carefully selected case studies of EU
negotiations. He shows that the rotating Presidency of the EU
constitutes a power platform that grants governments unique
opportunities to shape the outcomes of negotiations. His
provocative analysis establishes that Presidencies, while
performing vital functions for the EU, simultaneously exploit their
privileged political position to favour national interests.
Extending the scope of the analysis to international negotiations
on trade, security and the environment, Tallberg further
demonstrates that the influence of the EU Presidency is not an
isolated occurrence but the expression of a general phenomenon in
world politics - the power of the chair.
