Cases of Democratic Norm Development and Policy Implementation in the Organization for Security and Co-Operation in Europe and the United Nations INCLUSIVENESS AND STATUS IN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS: CASES OF DEMOCRATIC NORM DEVELOPMENT AND POLICY IMPLEMENTATION IN THE ORGANIZATION FOR SECURITY AND CO-OPERATION IN EUROPE AND THE UNITED NATIONS by Catherine Anne Hecht B.A. College of the Holy Cross, 1997 M.I.A. Columbia University, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Political Science) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2012 © Catherine Anne Hecht, 2012 Abstract The tension between sovereign equality and democratic status, or hierarchies based on democratic governance, is under-analyzed in scholarship of international organizations (IOs). IOs with formally inclusive compositions derive moral authority and legitimacy from their inclusiveness. Yet this inclusiveness is challenged by democratic status, with varied consequences. Scholarly explanations of democratic norm development in IOs typically credit the favorable environment at the end of the Cold War, interests of a hegemonic power, those of established democracies, interests of new democracies to “lock in” democratic systems, or the autonomy of international institutions. Existing accounts have thus under-emphasized inclusive institutions and democratic status as important (and interacting) explanatory variables. This dissertation draws on insights from literature on institutional design, constructivism, and social psychology to examine the evolution and roles of inclusive institutions and democratic status in the development of democratic norms and policy implementation in two inclusive IOs: the United Nations (UN) and the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe/Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE/OSCE) between the respective origins of the organizations in 1945 or 1973 and 2010. While inclusive institutions sometimes lead to deadlock, under certain conditions, and counter to conventional wisdom, they have occasionally proven highly supportive of democratic norm development. This study examines influential mechanisms, including relations between inclusive institutions and windows of opportunity, norm restatements and re-consideration of failed proposals, issue linkage, contributions of procedural legitimacy to norm expansion, inclusive institutions’ role in (re-)authorizing (or inhibiting) implementation policies, and vulnerability to shifts in political will. The dissertation draws on content analysis through process tracing of archival data and statements, counterfactual analysis, and semi-structured interviews. To assess the evolution and influence of democratic status, new indicators are developed. The study employs and adapts concepts from social identity theory and emphasizes additional factors (e.g. salience of democratic status, appeal of prototypical states, and prestige of IOs) that also affect states’ pursuit of strategies of social mobility, social competition, or social creativity, thus contributing to cooperation or discord for democratic norm development in inclusive IOs. Counter-intuitively, the institutionalization of a norm can, in fact, lead to regress. ii Preface The interviews conducted for this project were approved by the Behavioral Research Ethics Board (BREB) at the University of British Columbia (H07-02269) on December 17, 2007.

  • Europe and the End of the Cold War
    Europe and the End of the Cold War This book seeks to reassess the role of Europe in the end of the Cold War and the process of German unification. Much of the existing literature on the end of the Cold War has focused primarily on the role of the superpowers and on that of the US in particu- lar. This edited volume seeks to redirect the focus towards the role of European actors and the importance of European processes, most notably that of integration. Written by leading experts in the field, and making use of newly available source material, the book explores ‘Europe’ in all its various dimensions, bringing to the forefront of historical research previ- ously neglected actors and processes. These include key European nations, endemic evolutions in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, European integration, and the pan-European process. The volume serves therefore to rediscover the transformation of 1989–90 as a European event, deeply influenced by European actors, and of great significance for the subsequent evolution of the continent. This book will be of great interest to students of Cold War Studies, Contemporary European History and International Relations in general.

  • A Rocky Road to Establishing Diplomatic Relations Between Poland and the Republic of Korea
    DOI: https://doi.org/10.48261/PIS203625 MAREK HAŃDEREK Biuro Badań Historycznych Instytutu Pamięci Narodowej ORCID: 0000-0001-9882-3977 Between Pyongyang and Seoul – a Rocky Road to Establishing Diplomatic Relations between Poland and the Republic of Korea For several decades, communist Poland and the Republic of Korea did not maintain diplomatic relations with each other. This wasa result of the Cold War realities in which Poland was a Soviet satellite and South Korea was an American ally. Another consequence of geopolitical conditions of the time was the establishment of diplomatic relations between Poland and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on 16 October 1948, just over a month after the DPRK was proclaimed. Communist Poland’s support for North Korea during the Korean War continued after the war ended with Poland taking part in rebuilding the country from destruction. Like other Eastern Bloc countries, Poland supplied various materials and goods, including clothes, shoes, medicines and food. Also, Poland took care of 1,200 North Korean orphans and founded a Red Cross hospital in the city of Huichon.1 Furthermore, during the truce negotiations which ended military operations in Korea, Poland along with Czechoslovakia was elected by the communist side to be members of the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission2 and the Neutral Nations Repatriation Commission.3 1 S. Szyc, “The relations between Poland and North Korea between 1948 and 1961”,Progress. Journal of Young Researchers 2017, vol. 2, pp. 124–130. 2 The goal of the NNSC was to monitor the situation in both North and South Korea, report violations of the truce and to ensure that neither party armed itself above the limits set in the treaty.

  • European Socialist Regimes' Fateful Engagement
    European Socialist Regimes’ Fateful Engagement with the West This edited volume analyses European socialist countries’ strategy of engagement with the West and the European Economic Community in the “long 1970s”. The book focuses on a time when the socialist regimes of Central and Eastern Europe banked their hopes for prosperity and stability on enhanced relations with the West. Crossing the traditional differences among diverse fields of historiography, it assesses the complex influence of European and global processes of transformation on the socialist elites’ reading of the international political and economic environment and their consequent decision-making. The volume also explores the debate in each country among and within the elites involved in policymaking as they elaborated this strategic view and coped with shortcomings and unexpected turns. A comparative analysis of national cases shows a shared logic and common patterns, together with national variations and a plurality of views on the desirability of exchanges with their capitalist neighbours and on the ways to promote them. The multinational coverage of seven countries makes this volume a starting point for anyone interested in each socialist state’s foreign policy, intra-bloc relations, economic strategy, transformation and collapse, relations with the European Community and access to the EU. This book will be of much interest to students and researchers of Cold War studies, European history, and international relations.

  • European Socialist Regimes' Fateful Engagement with the West; National Strategies in the Long 1970S
    4 From ‘Economic Miracle’ to the ‘Sick Man of the Socialist Camp’ Poland and the West in the 1970s Aleksandra Komornicka The 1970s were a particular decade in Polish history. In December 1970, an economic and political crisis resulting from price increases led to the dismissal of Władysław Gomułka as head of the Polish United Workers’ Party (PUWP) and the appointment of a new leadership. Edward Gierek’s takeover of power symbolised a new beginning and hope for constructive reforms in Poland. Nev- ertheless, ten years later in August 1980, Gierek and his political agenda were also dismissed in a context of economic and political crisis. However, despite some similarities, Poland’s situation in the summer of 1980 was very different to that before Christmas in 1970. Strikes were no longer spontaneous worker demonstrations but instead a coordinated cross-country movement supported by powerful dissident organisations. Moreover, this time the protesters demanded not only an improvement in economic and labour conditions but also human rights, such as freedom of speech, which the socialist regimes had committed to respecting in the Final Act of the CSCE, signed in August 1975. The economic situation which underlaid the political upheaval was additionally complicated by $22 billion in debts owed to Western creditors which had accumulated over the previous ten years. Unlike in 1970, the crisis could hardly be explained without considering Western influence or be handled independently of Western actors. The ties between socialist Poland and the

    Letter from A. Stelmachowski to Lech Walesa 20 January 1989 20 January 1989 Mr. Lech Walesa Chairman of NSZZ “Solidarity” Gdansk Dear Chief, Since I have to stay in Warsaw on Saturday due to the ongoing state-church talks, I am taking this opportunity to convey to you (also for possible use at a KKW meeting) the following suggestions and conclusions: 1. I think that an important matter is to set up a not- too-large team to work out draft statutes for “Solidarity,” which would adapt our Union to the law on trade unions. Particularly important is to work out a pattern for work-place organizations, operating with uniform statutes at workplace levels [that] would allow [one] to preserve the unity of the Union. Of course, the drafts should also include higher bodies, including the central one. I think that Lech Kaczynski should be chairman of such team as a professional and also living on the spot in Gdansk. 2. I think it is high time to break away from the secrecy of the Union structure, particularly at workplace levels (except for publishing and financial matters). The Union should create open structures as much as possible. 3. I would also like to express my opinion on an unpopular and personally for you irritating matter. Namely, I think that in view of the chance of “Solidarity’s” legalization an attempt should be made to unite all “Solidarity members,” who still consider them- selves members of the Union. Thus, I am in favor of the last year’s scheme of A.
