International institutions are under pressure, confronted with open critique towards their procedures and the outcomes they generate. Not only states but civil society as well is targeting international institutions. Especially the world economic institutions have suffered from recurring waves of protests by civil society organizations. In consequence, all of them have established dialogue forums to open up to their critics and to re-establish their legitimacy. Initially heralded as a major change for the inclusion of civil society in global governance, these forums have recently been harshly criticized as mere talk shops and failures. Is this critique justified? Why do the forums not meet the expectations they have raised? The proposed research project analyzes the institutional design of and practice within the dialogue forums of four major world economic institutions: the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (a shared forum), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the G7/8, and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) over time to understand how the forums have developed and to investigate which factors are responsible for this development.

国际机构面临压力，面临对其程序及其产生的结果的公开批评。不仅是国家，民间社会也在针对国际机构。特别是世界经济机构受到民间社会组织一再发生的抗议浪潮的影响。因此，它们都建立了对话论坛，向批评者敞开大门，并重新确立其合法性。这些论坛最初被誉为将民间社会纳入全球治理的一个重大变革，但最近受到严厉批评，被认为只是清谈场所和失败。这种批评有道理吗？为什么这些论坛没有达到它们所提出的期望？本研究课题通过对国际货币基金组织（IMF）和世界银行（共享论坛）、世界贸易组织（WTO）、G7/8、亚洲开发银行（ADB）等世界经济四大机构的对话论坛的制度设计和实践进行分析，了解论坛的发展过程，并探讨其发展的原因。
