global�governance?

Since themid-1990s,we have seen an increasing number of global polycentric

governance systemscharacterizedbydecentralized structures inwhich therearemultiple

centersof authorityoperatingatmultiple scales1withadiversityof stakeholders, including

civil societyorganizations(CSOs),private sectororganizations, internationalgovernmental

organizations(IGOs),and states.Thesegovernance systemsare oftenobserved in regime

complexes,definedas“anarrayofpartiallyoverlappingandnonhierarchicalinstitutionsgoverning

Furthermore,wehavetocopewitha legitimacyproblemintermsof input legitimacy

legitimacyandaccountability,asdecision-makersofIGOsandWesternpowershavenotbeenheld

andfrequentoccurrencesofseriouscorruption.However,therecouldbeatradeoffbetweeninput

withoutdamagingoutputlegitimacy.Orchestrationmightmitigatetheselegitimacyproblemsby

facilitatingparticipationbydiverseactors.

Orchestrationhasbeenobserved invarious fields, fromenvironmentalmanagement,

development, commerce,health, andhumanrights to security.12 Itmayalsobeseen inanti-

(1)O-I-T Model The concept of orchestrationwas recently introduced in the field of international

Thisdefinitionhasgraduallychanged; inaneditedvolume,International Organizations

andsoftaspect.Insomecases,O,I,andTaremutuallyoverlapping:theorchestratorcanserveas

asecretariatfortheintermediary,ortargetmemberscanserveasmembersoftheintermediary.

Thereareother formsof indirectgovernance, including trusteeship,delegation, and

cooptation,but theyaredifferent fromorchestration in termsof thegovernor’sauthoritative

control over intermediaries.16 In orchestration, intermediariesvoluntarily cooperatewithout

beingcontrolledbytheorchestratorwithhardmeasures.Thiskindofsoftgovernanceisusually

considered ineffectivecompared to thehierarchicalmodeofgovernance,andacademicsand

practitioners tendtodismiss its impact.However,orchestration is indeedobserved indiverse

(2)Conditions under which IGOs are likely to orchestrate Whilegovernments canwork throughdiverseactors indomesticgovernancewith

“directiveorchestration,”which involvesmandatoryrules,publicregulators(statesandIGOs)

in theglobal arena tend to rely on “facilitative orchestration,” or enlisting and supporting

shoppingandforum-shiftingbehaviors,andpromoting learningand innovation.18 IGOspreferto

use facilitativeorchestration,as theycanachieveregulatorygoalswithin theircapacitiesand

competenceoutsideofmemberstates’controloverIGOmandates.19

However, given that theTNGsuffers froman “orchestrationdeficit” compared to

domesticgovernance,20underwhat conditionsare IGOs likely toorchestrate?TheAGSZ is

dedicatedtopursuingthisquestion. Itarguesthatgovernanceactorsare likely toorchestrate

under the following conditions:First, if they lack certain capabilities, such as regulatory

competence, operational capacity, or legitimacy, they tend to orchestrate(orchestrator

capabilitieshypothesis).Whereasagovernanceactorwithnocapabilitiescouldnotorchestrate,

anactorwithextensivecapabilitieswouldnotneedorchestration.Second,orchestrationislikely

ifanactor is focal in the issue-area, inasenseofhaving“singleanduncontestedgovernance

leadership”(focality hypothesis).21Major sources of focality include authority, legitimacy,

operational competence, available resources, expertise, path-dependence, and charismatic

organizationalleaders.Third,iftheactorhasanentrepreneurialculturethatfavorscollaboration

withdiverseactorsandexperimentationwith innovativeapproaches, there isamotivation to

orchestrate(entrepreneurshiphypothesis).22Inaddition,orchestrationsarelikelywhenmultiple

intermediaries that share the orchestrator’s goal andhave complementary capabilities are

available(intermediaryavailabilityhypothesis).Whenthereisonlyonepotentialintermediary,a

governanceactorwouldberatherreluctanttoorchestrateit.However,thishypothesisisrather

weak,becauseanorchestratorcouldcatalyzeanewinstitutionquiteeasilyintheeventthatan

intermediaryisunavailable.

WhentheorchestratorisanIGOasanagentsubjecttocontrolbyprincipals(member

states), the divergence of goals amongmember states or between the IGOandmember

states andweak institutional oversightbymember states arehypothesized to increase the

possibilityofIGOorchestrations(thegoaldivergencehypothesisandstateoversighthypothesis,

respectively).23

Thesehypotheseshavebeenexaminedandbroadlycorroboratedwithsomerevisionsin

casestudiesoftheEuropeanUnion(EU),theWorldTradeOrganization(WTO),theGroupof

Twenty(G20),theGlobalEnvironmentFacility(GEF),theWorldHealthOrganization(WHO),

theUnitedNationsEnvironmentProgramme(UNEP), the InternationalLaborOrganization

Takingtheabovepoints intoaccount, inthefollowingsection,wediscussvariationsof

(1)Orchestration under diffused focality: Collaborative orchestration Inacongestedregimecomplex,focalitytendstobediffusedamongmultiplegovernors,

andcoordinationproblemsaccompaniedbyhighuncertaintyeasily come to the surface.As

the low focalitywill lower thedepthoforchestration,potentialorchestratorsare tempted to

cooperatewitheachother to complement respective lackof focality andcapabilities.Even

UNEP,oftenreferredtoasatypicalorchestratorthathaspioneeredtheTNG,28co-orchestrates

withanothergovernanceactorwhen focality is low, suchas in the fieldofCorporateSocial

Responsibility(CSR).Asdiscussed inthecaseofUNEP’sco-orchestrationwiththeUNGlobal

Compact(UNGC)ofthePrinciples forResponsibleInvestment(PRI),“…orchestrationmaybe

more likely incrowded issueareas…where focality is lessobvious,where issue-linkage is the

normandwheretherealitiesofcomplexinterdependencemayverywellrequireco-orchestration

bytwoormoreIGOs.”29LowfocalitymotivatesanIGOtoorchestratewithanotherorchestrator

instead of orchestrating alone.While the originalO-I-Tmodel focuses onvertical synergy

betweenorchestratorand intermediary, thecollaborativeorchestrationmodelshedsmore light

onhorizontalcollaborationbetweenorchestrators.

Co-orchestration and multi-orchestration

TheAGSZconceptualizesthatO, I,andTcaneachbeasetofactorsrespectively.30

When two ormore actorswork as an orchestrator jointly as a set,we call this type of

collaborationbetweenorchestrators “co-orchestration.” In theabovePRIcase,UNEPandthe

UNGCjointlyorchestratedfromthesameorchestratingpositionduringthesameperiodoftime;

theyjointlyengagedinconvening,assisting,endorsing,andcoordinatingthroughoutthecourseof

preparing,launching,andexpandingthePRI.

Ontheotherhand,wesuggestanotherformofcollaborationbymultipleorchestrators:

multi-orchestration. Contrary to co-orchestration,multiple orchestrators orchestrate the

intermediary fromdifferentorchestratingpositionsbyusingdifferentorchestration techniques.

The simplest formofmulti-orchestration isdual-orchestration: for instance,OrchestratorA

(CSO)convenesandcoordinatesacivilsocietynetworkasanumbrellanetworkorganization,

Figure 2: Collaborative orchestration

whereasOrchestratorB(IGO)givesofficialendorsementandmaterialsupporttotheumbrella

organization toapplypressure tomemberstates.Amorecomplicatedcase is thatof triple-

orchestration, as in the casewhereOrchestratorA(abusiness association)organizes a

privateregulatorystandardschemethat isendorsedbyOrchestratorB(CSO)andfundedby

OrchestratorC(IGO).

Thefirstfeatureofmulti-orchestrationisthatorchestratorscollaboratethroughaclear

divisionof laborwithoutahigh levelofcoordinationbetweendifferentsectors, inwhichcivil

societyactorscoordinate thecivil societynetwork, IGOscoordinateamong internationaland

statebodies,nationalgovernmentscoordinatedomesticnetworks,andbusinessactorscoordinate

private sector regulation. In thisway, orchestrators can facilitate efficient coordinationand

networkingamongdifferentsectorswhilemaximizingtheautonomyofeachsector.Themulti-

orchestrationmodelillustratesthemechanismofpolycentricgovernancewherediverseactors,be

theypublicorprivate,workasorchestratorssimultaneously.

The second feature is different degrees of engagements by orchestrators. In the

abovecaseofdual-orchestration,OrchestratorA isdeeplycommittedtoorchestratingthecivil

societynetwork,whereasOrchestratorBorchestrates thatnetworkonlyshallowly fromthe

outside.Here,deeporchestrationrequiressubstantial,continuous,anddirectmanagementofan

whereasshalloworchestration involvesonlysupplementaryandexternalsupport, includingthe

provisionofopportunities foradvocacy,materialassistance,and low-costendorsement. Inother

words,deeporchestrationrequiresamorecostlycommitmentthandoesshalloworchestration.

Difference between co- and multi- orchestrations

Themulti-orchestration can be differentiated from co-orchestration in terms of

orchestrators’orchestratingpositionsandtheirengagementwithajointproject;moreprecisely,

withregardstoasenseofownershipandadegreeofcoordination.Whengovernanceactorsco-

orchestrate, theysharenotonlya jointgoalbutalsoownershipof theproject fromthesame

orchestratingposition.Theyhavetobeinvolvedinhighdegreeofcoordinationamongconflicting

interests andof integratedpolicyandagreeon such termsof contract asmemorandumof

Whengovernanceactorsare involved inmulti-orchestration, on theotherhand, they

overallgoalof theproject.Theyorchestrate fromdifferentorchestratingpositionsatdifferent

distance from the intermediary; therefore, eachorchestratorwouldbe involved indifferent

depthoforchestration.Asonlyalittlecoordinationisrequired,multi-orchestrationcanbeeasily

performedandprovideawiderangeofoptionsfororchestrators.

In short,whereas co-orchestration takesplacewhenorchestrators are involved in

jointlyplannedanddesignedprojectasacollectivegovernororonthebasisofagreeddivisionof

labor,multi-orchestration ischaracterizedbythe lackof jointownershipanddifferentdepthof

engagements fromdifferentorchestratingpositions.However, therecanbecontinuitybetween

bothtypesofcollaborativeorchestration;multi-orchestrationcanchangeintoco-orchestrationand

viceversa,accordingtochangingrelationships,goals,anddegreeofcoordination.

(2)Conditions for collaborative orchestration Theantecedentcondition forcollaborativeorchestration is theavailabilityofmultiple

potential orchestratorswith complementary capabilities and awillingness to collaborate;

“orchestratoravailability,”sotospeak.Asthemultiplicityofcentersofauthorityischaracteristic

ofpolycentricgovernance,weposit that thereshouldbemultipleorchestrators inpolycentric

AGSZ.Furthermore,powerfulactorsthathaveenoughcapabilitiestoserveasintermediariescan

turnintoanorchestratoroverthecourseoforchestration;orchestrationbyex-intermediariesis

oftenobserved,asthechapterontheWHOorchestrationdemonstrates.32

Theroleoforchestratorisnot limitedtoIGOsandstates.CSOs,businessentities,and

TheUNODCisperceivedasoneofthecentersofglobalauthorityforthefightagainst

corruptionas theSecretariat forUNCACandUNTOC. Itsprimaryanti-corruptionmandate

is topromotetheratificationand implementationofUNCACandUNTOC; it is theCorruption

andEconomicCrimeBranchthat ispredominantlytaskedwiththis job.Toachievethisgoal,

theOfficemanagestheConferenceofStatesParties(CoSP)anditssubsidiarybodies,including

theImplementationReviewGroup(IRG)andworkinggroups;providestechnicalassistanceto

memberstates;andcreatesandmanagesanti-corruptionknowledge. Itsmandatesalso include

the facilitationofcoordinationamongdiverse institutionsandcollaborationwithprivatesector

andcivil society,whichencouragetheOffice toengage incollaborativeorchestration. In this

section,weanalyzetheconditionsthatenabletheUNODC’sorchestration.

(1)Focality TheUNODC’s focality in theanti-corruptionregimecomplexwasnotvery strong,

partlydueto its institutionaloriginandmandates.TheUnitedNationsOfficeonDrugControl

andCrimePrevention(UNODCCP),thepredecessoroftheUNODC,wasestablishedbymerging

theUnitedNationsDrugControlProgrammeandtheCenterforInternationalCrimePrevention

(CICP)oftheUnitedNationsCrimePreventionandCriminalJusticeProgrammein1997.The

governingbody is theCommissiononCrimePreventionandCriminalJusticeunderECOSOC,

whichwascreatedin1992.

TheCICP launched threeGlobalProgrammes against criminal activities in 1999,

including theGlobalProgrammeagainstCorruption(GPAC),whichprovidedand facilitated

technical assistance, researchandpolicy formulation, interagencycoordination, and judicial

integrity.55Asmajoranti-corruptionprogramshadcomeintobeingbytheendofthe1990s,the

launchofGPACwasratherlateandtheCICPwasforcedtocompetewithpowerfulorganizations

like theWorldBank, theUnitedStatesAgency for InternationalDevelopment(USAID), the

OECD, theUNDP, andTI, all ofwhichalreadyhadamuch strongerpresence in theanti-

corruptionindustrypriortotheCICP’sinvolvement.

Furthermore, theUNODCCP,whichwas taskedwith theprogramsrelated todrug

andcrime,was initiallyplaced inadisadvantageousposition in the fightagainstcorruption,

ascorruptionhadbeenaddressedmainly in thecontextofdevelopment.Majordevelopment

organizationshadalreadysubstantially incorporatedanti-corruptionpolicies in theirprograms

throughoutthe1990s.TheOfficehadonlyweak focalityandoperationalcapabilitiesoveranti-

corruption issuesexcept forthoserelatedtocrimepreventionandcriminal justice. Ithad less

experienceondevelopmentissuesthandiddevelopmentagencies.Infact,theCICPhadtocarve

outanicheintheanti-corruptionindustryinordertogetanadvantagefromitsexpertise,which

resultedinthecreationofprogramsspecializinginjudicialintegrity.56

However, theUNODC’s focality has been strengthened since the early twenty-

firstcentury,as the focusofanti-corruption industrygraduallyshiftedaway fromawareness-

raisingandcapacity-andinstitution-buildingledbymajordevelopmentagenciesandTItoward

internationalcooperationamonglawenforcementandjudicialagencies.57Thistrendboostedthe

focalityoftheOffice,whichalreadyhadsufficientexpertiseandconnectionswithlawenforcement

networking,informationsharing,andmutuallearning,whichalsostrengthenitsfocality.

Nevertheless,whileactorsandinstitutionshavecontinuedtoexpandanddiversify,the

UNODChasonlyamoderateinfluenceintheprivatesectorandcivilsocietyintheareaofanti-

corruption.Therefore, itcouldbe fair tosaythat theUNODC’s focality ishigh in theareaof

crimepreventionandcriminaljustice,whereasitsfocalityincivilsociety,theprivatesector,and

developmentissuesisrelativelylow.

(2)Capabilities TheUNODC’sexpertiseishighlyevaluatedbybothpublicsectorandcivilsociety.With

thishighlevelofexpertise,theOfficeinitiatesmanyprojectsforstandardsettingandpromotion,

technicalassistance,andknowledgemanagementandcreation. It facilitatesthe implementation

of theConventionsbyproducingspecialized tools, including legislativeandpracticalguides,

guidelinesandguidingprinciples,model lawsandprovisions, thematicreports,computer-based

self-assessmentandwritingtools.

Nevertheless,theUNODChasconstantlysufferedfromalackoffunding.TheOfficeisa

Inaddition,over thepastdecade, therehasbeenasteadydecline ingeneralpurpose

funds thatcouldbeused for thecoreactivitiesofexecutivemanagementandbasicresearch.

AlthoughtheOfficehasmadeeffortstostreamline,expanditsdonorbase,anddiversifyfinancial

budgetaryconstraintscoupledwitha shortageofhumanresourceshaveapparently induced

theorganization to relyoncollaborations includingco- andmulti-orchestrationwithpartner

(3)Entrepreneurship TheUNODC’spreferenceforpartnershipisattributednotonlytoitsmoderatefocality

and fiscal constraintsbut also to an entrepreneurial culture that stressespartnershipand

Furthermore, itdevelopedonlineplatforms fordisseminationofknowledge:TRACK

(Tools andResources forAnti-CorruptionKnowledge) for anti-corruption andSHERLOC

provide information on convention implementation, comprehensivedatabases of legislation

nationalauthorities. Inadditiontoprovidingthis information, theTRACKportal is intendedto

be“acommunityofpractice forpartner institutionsandpractitioners,”62andcontainstoolsand

StolenAssetRecoveryinitiative(StAR),andtheGroupofStatesagainstCorruption(GRECO).

(4)Goal divergence and tight state oversight Asmentionedabove, theUNODChasbeenconstrainedby its tightbudged,mostof

Mexico.64Therefore,ingeneral,thereremainslittleroomfortheOfficetoexpanditsactivitiesat

itsdiscretionbeyondmemberstates’expectations.

ThedivergenceofgoalsamongmemberstatesandbetweentheUNODCandmember

statesover specific issuesalsoaffects theOffice’s inclination fororchestration.Asstated in

theprevioussection,disagreementsamongStatesPartiesconcerningthepriorityof theanti-

corruptionprincipleoverthenon-interventionprinciple inadditiontoothercontroversial issues

are legitimatelyallowed in thecurrentUNCACregime. Inotherwords,goaldivergenceover

salient issuesamongmemberstates is institutionalized in theUNCACregime,makingstate

oversight tightoverspecific issues. Inparticular, if the issue isdirectlyrelatedtothestability

ofpoliticalregimeandcultureofthecountry—forexample,theissuerelatedtoparticipationof

reporting)—acountrycanstronglyresistanyattempts to facilitate intervention indomestic

businesses,tradeunions,civilsociety,andacademicstocreatetheBusinessPrinciples,together

withtheSocialAccountabilityInternational(SAI).

Highly focal and capable organizations likeTI can be orchestrators aswell as

intermediaries, but cannot dominate the focality in a congested system.Furthermore, the

credibilityofmajororganizations like theWorldBank, the IMF,USAID, andTIcame into

questionfortheirprincipallyneoliberalpolicies.Thus,theseorchestratorshavefoundacommon

interest incollaborativeorchestrationtomutuallycomplementtheirpartial lackof focalityand

capabilities.

6.Collaborative�orchestration�by�the�UNODC

(1)Inclination for collaborative orchestration TheUNODChas orchestrated a number of intermediaries for various functions,

includingsettingandpromotingnormsandstandards;providingtechnicalassistance for legal

support,policydevelopment,and institution-andcapacity-building;andcreatingandmanaging

knowledge,asshowninthetablebelow.

While theUNODC single-handedly orchestrates networks and groups related to

crimepreventionandcriminal justice, includingtheUNCrimePreventionandCriminalJustice

ProgrammeNetworkofInstitutes(PNI)andtheJudicialIntegrityGroup(JIG),italsofrequently

engages incollaborativeorchestration inareaswith low focality, including theStolenAsset

Recovery initiative(StAR), theRegionalWorkingGrouponBusiness Integrity inASEAN

Asdiscussed in theprevious section, acombinationofhighexpertise, a shortageof

resources, a relative lackof focality, strongentrepreneurship, andorchestrator/intermediary

availabilityisassumedtohaveencouragedtheOfficetoengageincollaborativeorchestration.In

addition,highgoaldivergenceoversensitive issues isassumedtohavemotivatedtheOfficeto

However, it isnotgood forapublicagencytocollaboratewithaprivateorganization

whosecredibility is somewhat indoubt.Throughcooperationwithanumbrellaorganization

consistingofmultipleorganizations,thiscriticismcanbeavoided.Therehadbeenalreadymany

umbrellanetworksofnon-stateorganizations in thefieldofanti-corruption, includingGOPAC,

divergence,andstateoversight.First,contrarytothefocalityhypothesis,orchestrationtechniques

are likely tobe chosenunder low focality,which is often the case in a congested regime
