The governments of modern democracies are caught in an ambivalent situation. On the one hand, they have to deal with tendencies of growing nationalism and scepticism towards supra- and international institutions. On the other hand, they need these organizations to effectively address rising problems of global scale such as climate change, the movement of refugees, and pandemic disease outbreaks. A central benefit of international organizations is their well-trained, and above all often highly motivated staff. Thus, while governments have become increasingly reluctant to involve in international agreements, they have continued to delegate substantial competences to the administrative bodies of international organizations.
The conference of the Center for Advanced Studies (CAS) includes six panels which will discuss different forms of International Public Administrations (IPAs), like: "Bureaucratic autonomy and influence of international public administrations" or "Multi-level policy making and the resourcing of international organization bureaucracies".
