Production and Diffusion of Ideas and International Negotiations (PRODI)

Project Directors Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Beate Kohler-Koch Project Staff Dr. Thomas Conzelmann, Dr. Jakob Edler DFG-funded 1999 – 2001

Research question/goal:

The project uses a reflexive-institutionalist approach and postulates an interdependence between institutionally-mediated ideas and the definition of interests and identities of actors in international negotiations.
Case studies are the genesis of European Technology Policy and a second, yet to be determined, area of EU policies. The ultimate objective is to build a model that singles out the circumstances under which reflexive approaches offer explanations for the institutionalisation of international negotiation systems.
