是什么推动了区域组织的机构改革?如何解释东盟的制度设计?尽管存在许多差异,但对整个地区组织(尤其是东盟)制度设计的传统方法是一致的,认为它们要么由地区−的内生因素决定,如不同的国家利益或集体规范−,要么由外在驱动,最重要的是由美国或中国等霸权国家驱动。本文介绍了东盟的制度设计。基于最近在扩散文献中强调扩散很少导致收敛的一条线索,这篇文章做出了两个真正的贡献。首先,它认为,区域组织的成员采用模块化:他们从各种区域和国际组织中选择机构模板,从而利用有关替代机构成本和收益的现有信息。其次,它认为语境条件和认知先验会影响模板的选择。这一论点将以东盟采用单一市场和争端解决机制的案例研究来说明。最后,与机构借款可能扩大区域组织内部预期与交付差距的观点相反,该报告认为,如果始终如一地进行,模块化采用可以带来实质性的创新和成功。
What drives institutional reforms in regional organisations? And what explains the institutional design of ASEAN? Despite many differences, conventional approaches to the institutional design of regional organisations more generally and ASEAN in particular are united in regarding them as either determined by factors endogenous to the region − such as varying state interests or collective norms − or as exogenously driven, most importantly by hegemonic states like the US or China. This article offers a diffusion account of ASEAN's institutional design. Building on a more recent strand in the diffusion literature emphasising that diffusion rarely leads to convergence, the article makes two genuine contributions. First, it argues that members of regional organisations engage in modular adoption: they select institutional templates from a variety of regional as well as international organisations thereby taking advantage of available information on the costs and benefits of alternative institutions. Second, it argues that contextual conditions and cognitive priors influence what templates are chosen. The argument will be illustrated with a case study on ASEAN's adoption of a single market and a dispute settlement mechanism. Finally, and contrary to arguments that institutional borrowing might increase the expectations-deliverance gap within regional organisations, it argues that if conducted consistently, modular adoption can lead to substantial innovation and success.
