Bureaucratic autonomy of international organizations’ secretariats
本文提出了国际秘书处官僚自主性的理论概念，并给出了一个基于指标的测量方法，通过对15个国际秘书处的实证检验，揭示了组织内部自主行为的差异。
The contribution advances a theoretical conceptualization of the bureaucratic autonomy of international secretariats and suggests an empirical yardstick for its measurement. The proposed concept of bureaucratic autonomy focuses on administrative structures and provides an indicator-based approximation for the bureaucratic capacities of international organizations in order to systematically reveal variation in intra-organizational potential for autonomous bureaucratic behaviour. The usefulness and limitations of the concept are discussed in light of an empirical examination of 15 international secretariats.
