Philipp Genschel’s work revolves around three broad topics: taxation, European integration and governance theory.
[11] Together with Kenneth W. Abbott, Duncan Snidal and Bernhard Zangl, Genschel has explored the agency of international organizations.
More specifically, they analyzed how IOs ‘orchestrate’ the voluntary cooperation of NGOs, transgovernmental networks and other third parties to leverage their power and gain autonomy from their member state principals.
[12] Based on this work, they critically engage with principal-agent theory [13] and compare orchestration to other modes of indirect governance including delegation, cooptation and trusteeship.
