Abstract

How much do inter-organizational relations (IORs) matter for international organizations (IOs)? How much do they change IOs? These are key questions, if we are to compare different instances of inter-organizational interaction and understand the relevance of IORs across issue areas and regions, and along time. Nevertheless, assessing the influence of IOs on other IOs has not been a key endeavor of the literature on IORs, that has preferred to pay attention to the causes and modes of interaction. This chapter deals with the issue of inter-organizational influence by (a) clarifying the concept and distinguishing it from neighborly ones, (b) suggesting ways to measure influence, and (c) discussing the multiple domains of an IO that can be influenced by another IO, including both issues related to IOs as containers and to the contents of IOs.
