Reshaping Global Governance: An Empirical Collaborative Study of Indicators in Action

使用数字表示和排名系统来分配发展资金，评估条约机构遵守人权规范的情况，评估健康状况和干预措施，并对表现不佳的人实施制裁。随着国家的数字表示和国家排名在全球治理中变得更加突出，如何制定和使用这些指标的问题变得更加重要。国际和平研究所将举办研讨会，召集一个学者网络，他们将共同研究这些指标是如何创建的，数据是如何收集和分析的，以及它们如何影响一系列全球公众拥有的决策和常识。让不同国家的学者参与全球治理指标的工作提供了一种比较的视角，以了解指标的制作和使用。这项活动促进了有关这些指标如何发挥作用的新理论发展。腐败、法治、遵守人权、治理和透明度等各种现象的指标正在广泛的国际背景下产生和使用。理解它们的使用对于理解全球治理的新形态至关重要。此外，讲习班参与者在学科和国籍方面的多样性促进了广泛研究人员的国际合作。

Numerical representations and systems of ranking are used to allocate development funds, assess compliance with human rights norms by treaty bodies, evaluate health status and interventions, and impose sanctions for poor performance. As numerical representations of countries and rankings of countries become more prominent in global governance, the question of how such indicators are made and used rises in importance. The PI's will host workshops to bring together a network of scholars who will collectively examine how these indicators are created, how the data is collected and analyzed, and how they impact both decision-making and the general knowledge possessed by a range of global publics. Engaging scholars in different countries to work on global governance indicators provides a comparative perspective on the practice of indictor production and their use. This activity facilitates new theoretical development concerning how such indicators work in action. Indicators of phenomena as diverse as corruption, rule of law, human rights compliance, governance, and transparency are being produced and used in a wide variety of international contexts. Understanding their use is of critical importance to understanding the emerging shape of global governance. Further, the diversity of workshop participants in terms of discipline and nationality promotes international collaboration by a broad range of researchers.
