Abstract

A new theoretical framework for understanding how social, economic, and political conflicts influence international institutions and their place in the global order Today's liberal international institutional order is being challenged by the rising power of illiberal states and by domestic political changes inside liberal states. Against this backdrop, Ideology and International Institutions offers a broader understanding of international institutions by arguing that the politics of multilateralism has always been based on ideology and ideological divisions. Erik Voeten develops new theories and measures to make sense of past and current challenges to multilateral institutions.Voeten presents a straightforward theoretical framework that analyzes multilateral institutions as attempts by states to shift the policies of others toward their preferred ideological positions. He then measures how states have positioned themselves in global ideological conflicts during the past seventy-five years. Empirical chapters illustrate how ideological struggles shape the design of international institutions, membership in international institutions, and the critical role of multilateral institutions in militarized conflicts. Voeten also examines populism's rise and other ideological threats to the liberal international order.Ideology and International Institutions explores the essential ways in which ideological contestation has influenced world politics.

Abstract

Purpose: This paper's research objective was to determine if the scale of outward foreign direct investments (OFDI – outward FDI) from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries is determined by the key home country's institutional factors. Design/Methodology/Approach: To achieve the assumed research aim, an econometric power panel model illustrating the interdependencies between the natural logarithms of the CEE countries' outward FDI per capita stocks values and the levels of natural logarithms of their explanatory variables, which were the key home country's institutional factors, during or at the end of the years 2004-2018, that constituted a balanced data panel, were used. The slope coefficients of the model indicated the percentage change the dependent variable (i.e., the value of the OFDI stocks of CEE countries growth pace) changes if a given exogenous institutional variable decreases or grows by 1.0%, which enables to determine if the scale of outward FDI from the CEE region was significantly determined in the examined period by the considered key home country's institutional factors. Findings: The empirical results show that the home country's institutional factors determine OFDI stocks' scale from the CEE countries. Practical Implications: Improving the quality of the institutional environment of the country of origin of FDI would contribute to increasing the scale of foreign capital expansion of enterprises from the CEE region. Originality/value: The conducted study enabled to indicate the key directions of possible future improvements in the institutional environment of CEE enterprises, which would enable to significantly increase the scale of their foreign capital expansion, which would result in the growth of their exports that in turn would result in their further economic development, which was the case of many other well developed, as well as emerging economies. Such a result would contribute to the significant improvement of the effectiveness of the region's countries' economic and institutional policies in terms of supporting international economic cooperation., peer-reviewed
