Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper examines the nature and character of international economic institutions by focusing on the World Trade Organization (WTO) within the context of the proposal for a multilateral competition policy at the WTO. Given the fact that the European Union and, to a lesser extent, the United States, are the principal supporters of this proposal and that the developing countries have displayed a near-unanimous opposition to it, the paper asks whether the WTO (a) displays the status of an autonomous entity, (b) merely reflects the interests of a hegemon, or (c) follows a logic of collective action among the member-states for providing a public good. To answer these questions, the paper combines theoretical insights from neoliberal institutionalism, public goods theory, international trade theory, and competition theory. After examining these three questions separately, the paper employs a combined multidisciplinary approach that produces an integrated understanding of international economic institutions and cooperation. The paper argues that a combination of historical factors, policy imperatives, interest-group politics, and economic policy linkages explains the developments surrounding the proposed multilateral competition policy at the WTO. Methodologically, the research combines historical analysis with a utility-maximizing model based on the assumption of rational agents. In adopting a multidisciplinary theoretical approach, this paper attempts to bridge existing divides in the international political economy literature relating to international economic institutions and their operations. The findings of this paper aim to advance existing institutionalist theories in the field of international relations while informing us of the political economy of international cooperation at international economic institutions.
