全球治理视野下欧盟规范力量探析——以欧盟国际货币基金组织代表权改革为例

The Limits of the European Union as a Normative Power in Global Governance——A Case Study of EU Representation Reforms in the IMF

近年来,国际组织代表权改革日益成为欧盟在全球治理中发挥规范力量面临的重要课题。欧盟国际货币基金组织代表权问题的案例研究表明,欧盟身份的复杂性使之在这一问题上既表现出支持相关改革的意愿,又因自身的既得利益、法律地位和治理结构的制约而表现出一定的保守性。围绕欧盟对外向发展中国家转让代表权和对内逐步统一代表权的争论是一个国际体系、地区和成员国层面的三重博弈过程,也是欧盟在参与全球治理过程中关于自身规范力量身份的建构过程。

Over the recent years,reforms of the EU representation in the international organizations have become increasingly important for the EU to play a normative role in global governance.This case study of EU representation reforms in the IMF shows that the complexity of the EU itself has led to its ambivalent positions to the reforms.On the one hand,the EU has shown its willingness to endorse the relevant reforms,but on the other,constrained by its interests as well as by its own governance structure and legal status,it is still reluctant to accept the reforms.EU representation reforms in the IMF,which involve both the transfer of its shares and chairs to the developing countries and the move towards a unified EU representation,will be a process of triple bargains at the levels of international system,the EU and its member states.
