| contents | TRANSGOVERNMENTAL NETWORKS AND COOPERATION IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH ISABELLA ALCAÑIZ Política state skills expert bureaucrats social network analysis Transgovernmental cooperation Why do bureaucrats from developing countries cooperate internationally? I argue that international inter-agency cooperation in the Global South results from the need of expert bureaucrats to invest in skill formation when governments do not. When states cut funding, expert bureaucrats cooperate with foreign peers to upgra - de their skillsets because career advancement is contingent on up-to-date expertise. To test my theory, I use cross-national co-sponsorship data of projects in nuclear energy, science and technology (NEST) for 69 countries (1980-2008). Results show that bureaucrats cooperate internationally when government spending decreases and that cooperation is more likely to occur among bureaucrats with higher initial skill levels and similar levels of professional development (i.e. homophily). These fi ndings carry implications for the study of global governance in the developing world. 2016 artículo científico 0716-1417 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32449207002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=324 Revista de Ciencia Política application/pdf Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile Revista de Ciencia Política (Chile) Num.3 Vol.36 |
