Abstract
AbstractWe examine the role autonomy plays for International Organisations (IO) in achieving their objectives. Using a configurational approach, we theorize four scenarios of the impact of autonomy in relation to their experience and the financial resources at their disposal. Our results, based on a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) applied to 20 IOs of the United Nations (UN) system, demonstrate that autonomy can be a condition for both the success or the failure of an IO. Our research calls for the development of a systems theory of the performance of IOs that considers the interdependence of conditions and the equifinality of solutions that explain the success (the failure) of organizations in the pursuit of their mission.
