The international system is neither democratic nor equal, although its normative foundations claim to be both. The United Nations Charter espouses the principle of sovereign equality, yet at the same time the creation of a Security Council with five veto-wielding permanent members immediately introduces an element of institutional hierarchy. Realists argue that this hierarchy is a function of the structural characteristics of international politics, with the great powers inevitably exercising greater authority over lesser powers. In the post-communist era a new form of hierarchy has been introduced – a normative one. After 1989 the Atlantic power system rebranded itself as the liberal international order (LIO), claiming certain proprietorial rights over the system established at the Yalta-Potsdam conferences in 1945 (and then modified with a normative agenda at Helsinki in 1975). To some extent this is justified, since the Allied powers contributed much to shaping the post-war international system, above all its economic and legal governance arrangements. However, the effective substitution of the international system by the LIO represents a subversion of that system. The hierarchy of normative orders (which may take the form of a ‘league of democracies’ in the future) represents the repudiation of the normative foundations of the post-1945 international system. This is based on sovereign internationalism rather than hegemonic hierarchy. A particular order claims to be universal and thus asserts the right to substitute for the international system. This claim is rejected by countries such as Russia and China, and by most G77 nations (the inheritors of the Non-Aligned Movement). The conduct of international affairs in the matrix of sovereign internationalism is very different from that in a system based on normative hierarchy, notably in the role afforded diplomacy. Also prudential realist calculations are at the heart of sovereign internationalism, where for example the right to choose membership of a security alliance, will be weighed in the context of how such a move will shape the overall ability to achieve collective security. Neither sovereignty nor realism are absolutes and are always shaped by circumstances and discretionary calculations. This is what gives diversity meaning in international affairs.

Consociational interpretations of the European Union (EU) are well established and help to explain the political stability of the 27-member state system. In contrast, the increasingly common centripetal elements have not yet received systematic attention. Using a framework originally designed to map the choices for divided societies, this article highlights centripetalism in EU party regulation and proposals for electoral reform. Going beyond the spatial distribution requirements that play such a central role in aggregative institutions in the EU, the article suggests that cross-national rather than supra-national districts provide the strongest incentive for European parties to organize EU-wide campaigns on European issues, fielding candidates with cross-national appeal. The article concludes with a reflection on the relationship between consociational and centripetal elements in the EU. It shows that consociationalism and centripetalism in the EU can continue to co-exist, though the balance is likely to change

Which psychological orientations form the cultural foundations of political regimes? To answer this question, I demonstrate as a point of departure that (1) the countries’ membership in culture zones explains some 70 percent of the global variation in autocracy-vs-democracy and (2) that this culture-bound variation has remained astoundingly constant over time—in spite of all the trending patterns in the global distribution of regime types over the last 120 years. Furthermore, the explanatory power of culture zones over autocracy-vs-democracy roots in the cultures’ differentiation on “authoritarian-vs-emancipative values.” Against this backdrop, lasting regime turnovers happen as a corrective response to glacially accruing regime-culture misfits—driven by generational value shifts into a pre-dominantly emancipatory direction. Consequently, the backsliding of democracies into authoritarianism is limited to societies in which emancipative values remain under-developed. Contrary to the widely cited deconsolidation-thesis, the prevalent generational profile in people’s moral orientations exhibits an almost ubiquitous ascension of emancipative values that will lend more, not less, legitimacy to democracy in the future.

A potential new phenomenon resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic is that human behavioural changes may impact on the spatial configuration of innovation and subsequently productivity. In particular, it is suggested that the concentration of the COVID-19 disease in densely populated cities may lead to a retreat of both people and economic activity from these urban areas. This presentation argues that fundamental changes relating to the economics of innovation were already underway prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and that these are likely to continue and become embedded as a result of the crisis. It is argued that cities are enduring locations for innovation, but behavioural changes across society as a whole, as well as those agents engaged in the innovation economy, are leading to the emergence of more spatially distributed innovation systems. Through a consideration of the evolution of cities as innovation machines, this presentation unearths a number of factors that potentially help shed light on the innovation productivity paradox in terms of: the nature and role of networks; the innate inefficiency of innovation processes; and the nature of competition in the innovation economy. It is concluded that the innate inefficiency of the innovation process, changing investment and cost requirements, as well as the future goals of innovation, should lead to a reassessment as to how the productivity stemming from innovation is conceptualised and measured.

This paper provides a political economic analysis of policy learning.  We formally model the decision of an incumbent government to run (or allow) a program evaluation prior to implementing a policy reform.  Focusing on randomized controlled trials (RCTs), we argue that the benefits of program evaluation for the incumbent are greater in more politically polarized polities, where the opposition's ideal policies are further away in policy space.  Moreover, the effect of polarization on the probability to host RCTs is stronger in more politically competitive environments since the incumbent is more likely to be replaced by the opposition.  We empirically examine the derived hypotheses with two methods.  First, we provide a detailed case study of the Liberian government's decision to commission a third-party RCT evaluation of a proposed primary school privatization reform, where we focus on the wide gap between the incumbent and opposition on their preferred education policies.  Second, we have compiled a unique cross-country panel data set on RCTs in development policy since 1996, with which we demonstrate that RCTs are more likely to occur in polarized societies, and that the effect is amplified by the degree of political competition.

International thinking and concern about international migration are at historically high levels.  Work is a central aspect of the migrant experience. Since work is a key means to earn one’s living, yet the quality and quantity of work opportunities are inadequately distributed across place and space, the search for paid employment under dignified (that is, rights protected) conditions constitutes a major incentive for migration. Foreign workers commonly fill gaps in labour market sectors left by citizens, subjected to various forms and expressions of disadvantage, discriminatory practices and exploitative abuse.  
The extent to which an individual’s ‘right to work’ and ‘rights at work’ are secured in transnationalised labour markets is profoundly affected by institutions of governance and regulation at various levels. The current imbalance between ‘socio-economic’ and ‘securitisation’ oriented policy frames is partly a reflection of the gradual multiplication of actors populating the sphere of global migration governance.  These actors are at times in competition with each other, but can also be found to be collaborators. This paper takes as it starting point the International Labour Organisation, which is the oldest UN-related agency, to discuss the evolving multi-actor nature of global migration governance and what this means for the protection of migrant workers' labour and human rights. The case of South Asian migrant workers in Qatar will be used for illustrative purposes

High economic inequality undermines political equality. In countries such as the United States, Russia and China, the concentration of market power fosters the accumulation of rent incomes at the top of the income distribution and a political alliance between wealth and power.  Measures that increase political and market competition, expand the provision of public goods, and promote a model of economic growth that expands the middle class would therefore help restore political equality.  This talk will describe trends in the distribution of incomes and wealthy in the US, Russia and China over the past four decades  and relate these to the market liberalization policies launched in the 1970s and 1980s in all three countries.  I will contrast these policies to those adopted in the Federal Republic of Germany following the Second World War and again after unification in 1990, which were based on principles of the importance of protecting market competition in the framework of a social market economy.
