Funded Activity Summary

Small States in International Organisations. By analysing whether small states can have an impact on the operations of international organisations (IOs), the project aims to identify the benefits, problems and prospects of modern multilateralism where more and more states actively participate. IOs are under pressure because more of their members have become active participants in their daily operations, trying to ensure the IOs are 'member-driven'. Some of the smallest states have had an impact. This project asks how, while operating with yesterday’s formal structures and rules, IOs have adapted to accommodate the participation of so many diverse states. Covering six IOs over the last 25 years, the project plans to identify the dynamic relationship between IO leaders and staff, and both their small and large member states. Project outcomes may inform the ways in which Australia could help to build the capacities of its smaller neighbours so that they can take advantage of their IO membership.
