Abstract

Most explanations for the creation of new state institutions locate the cause of change in the conditions or characteristics of the states themselves. Some aspect of a state's economic, social, political, or military situation is said to create a functional need for the new bureaucracy which then is taken up by one or more domestic groups who succeed in changing the state apparatus. However, changes in state structure may be prompted not only by changing conditions of individual states but also by socialization and conformance with international norms. In the case of one organizational innovation recently adopted by states across the international system, namely, science policy bureaucracies, indicators of state conditions and functional need for these entities are not correlated with the pattern for their adoption. Instead, adoption was prompted by the activities of an international organization which “taught” states the value of science policy organizations and established the coordination of science as an appropriate, and even a necessary, role for states. This finding lends support to constructivist or reflective theories that treat states as social entities shaped by international social action, as opposed to more conventional treatments of states as autonomous international agents.

1. For purposes of this article a “norm” is defined as a rulelike prescription which is both clearly perceptible to a community of actors and which makes behavioral claims upon those actors. Although comments of McElroy were influential in formulating this definition, McElroy's own definition differs significantly from mine; see MCElroy, Robert, Morality and American Foreign Policy: The Role of Moral Norms in International Affairs (Princeton, N. J.: Princeton University Press, 1992)Google Scholar.

11. The Congo created its Conseil National de la Recherche Scientifique in 1963 when it reported having only nine scientists engaged in R&D jobs and when spending on R&D was only 0.11 percent of GDP. Measured in U.S. dollars, GDP per capita was only $253 that year, and military spending accounted for only 2.04 percent of GNP. Cameroon created its Office National de la Recherche Scientifique et Technique in 1965 when it reported employing only eighty scientists in research jobs and spending only 0. 16 percent of its GDP on research. Per capita GDP was $334 for that year, and the country spent only 2. 3 percent of its GNP on defense.

15. “Peak adoption year” in this case means the single year in which the largest number of states created these science policy bureaucracies.

18. The following account of UNESCO activities is based on research done at the library and archives of UNESCO's Paris headquarters. While these contain a wide variety of documents authored by national governments, it must be acknowledged that carrying out the research at the international organization's headquarters does run the risk of bias in favor of an international organization-driven explanation at the expense of a national one. A research design in which the science policy archives were consulted at a variety of national capitals in countries of different regions and development levels and facing different security situations would be superior. However, such a design was not feasible in this case.

21. Julian Huxley, the first executive director of UNESCO, and Joseph Needham, the first director of UNESCO's Natural Sciences Department, were instrumental in the founding of that organization and wrote extensively on their views of science as a transnational activity.

Sir Henry Dale, who persuaded the establishing conference to accept science as a distinct part of the embryonic UNESCO and who had been part of the League of Nations' International Institute for Intellectual Cooperation, held similar views. See Sewell, UNESCO and World Politics.

Science policy establishment missions were complete or under way in Algeria, Congo (Leopoldville), Ethiopia, Guinea, Iran, Iraq, Kenya, Lebanon, Madagascar, Morocco, Senegal, Sudan, Tanzania, Venezuela, and Zambia.

59. Unless otherwise indicated, citations of letters and memoranda below are from UNESCO Secretariat Registry files, UNESCO Archives, Paris. Where documents were assigned file numbers, these are so noted. For a description of the report on Lebanese science and technology, see memorandum by Yvan de Hemptinne, scientific secretary to the director of the Department of Natural Sciences, to Malcolm S. Adiseshiah, UNESCO Assistant Director-General, May 1961, NS memo 50. 085.

60. This proposal is described in a letter from Lebanese Director General of National Education Fouad Sawaya to UNESCO Assistant Director-General Adiseshiah, 23 May 1961.

61. Memorandum from de Hemptinne to Adiseshiah, May 1961, NS memo 50. 085. De Hemptinne also proposed an elaborate three-tiered structure for this coordinative bureaucracy. These proposals were greatly simplified under pressure from F. Karam at the Bureau of Member States (BMS) and from the Director-General of UNESCO himself. See memorandum from F. Karam, BMS, to José Correa, director of BMS, 5 May 1961, BMS 80/memo 100; and memorandum from UNESCO Director-General Maheu, Rene to Kovda, M. V., director of UNESCO Department of Natural Sciences, n.d. (possibly June or 07 1961)Google Scholar.

62. Memorandum from Maheu to Kovda, n.d. (possibly June or July 1961). The fact that the Director-General of UNESCO and the President of Lebanon both were involved in these negotiations indicates the importance attached to them by both parties. Maheu, in fact, goes on to say in the above-cited memo: “For many reasons, I attach the utmost importance to this project which, in my view, has great value as an example”; translation mine.

68. Letter from Chafic Moharram, technical counselor to the President of Lebanon, to de Hemptinne, 3 October 1962. De Hemptinne's enabling legislation specified that the council's budget was not to be less than 1 percent of the state's budget.

69. See, for example, Blount, B. K., “Report to the National Research Council of Lebanon,” compiled 10 March–7 04 1964Google Scholar, Lebanon file, Secretariat Registry Files, UNESCO Archives, Paris. Blount was deputy director of the British Department of Scientific and Industrial Research and was a temporary consultant to UNESCO.

71. It should be noted that even where enabling legislation originated in the countries themselves, UNESCO still provided some of the impetus for creating the new bureaucracy. Virtually all locally drafted enabling documents cite UNESCO regional science policy conferences (for example, the 1964 Lagos conference among African countries) as prompting local activity, and most follow conference recommendations to a large extent.

77. UNESCO consultant Koupalov-Yaropolk described the situation as follows: “The draft Constitution of the National Research Council has been lying for some 14 months in the Ministry of Agriculture. [This] indicates that there are few people really interested in the establishment of N.R.C. or that they do not have influence enough to push this matter forward.” See ibid., annex V, “Tanzania.”

80. Kenya is the only exception, since it did not create its own national science policy bureaucracy until 1977. The Kenyan rationale for not creating such a bureaucracy earlier was that the nation could derive the necessary benefits from an existing East African regional science policy bureaucracy.

81. In their analysis of the spread of municipal reforms across U.S. cities at the turn of the century, Tolbert and Zucker provide a similar explanation of a diffusion process. Their interpretation is as follows: “As an increasing number of organizations adopt a program or policy, it becomes progressively institutionalized, or widely understood to be a necessary component of rational organizational structure. The legitimacy of the procedures themselves serves as the impetus for the later adopters.” See Tolbert, Pamela and Zucker, Lynne, “Institutional Sources of Change in the Formal Structure of Organizations: The Diffusion of Civil Service Reform, 1880–1935,” Administrative Science Quarterly 28 (03 1983), p. 35CrossRefGoogle Scholar.
