How Financing Rules and Patterns Impact Multilateralism at the UN
November 9, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
November 9, 2023 | 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Hybrid
Join the U.S. Financial Leadership in Multilateral Diplomacy Program for the book launch and discussion of Erin Graham’s new book, Transforming International Institutions: How Money Quietly Sidelined Multilateralism at The United Nations. Graham, associate professor of global affairs at the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame, will draw lessons from how the mechanisms and practice of financing UN agencies and programs affects their credibility and capabilities.
The discussion will focus on how the rules and practices of funding the UN can and do have an outsized effect on the organization’s priorities, achievements, and perceived legitimacy. She argues that a steady flow of small and incremental 20th Century changes in UN funding rules have sidelined genuine multilateral governance in the 21st century. Discussion will include implications of funding arrangements (dues, replenishments, voluntary funding) and U.S. investment in other multilateral institutions.
Former Ambassador Mark P. Lagon, who is Chief Policy Officer at Friends of the Global Fight Against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, as well as Adjunct Professor on global institutions in the Master of Science in Foreign Service Program, Georgetown University, and author of a Stimson study on financial leadership in health institutions, will offer discussant remarks. Senior Fellow and Director Andrew Hyde will moderate the discussion.
