ABSTRACT
Chapter 6 concludes the book. The recipe for the politicization of international institutions consists of (a) high international authority and (b) frequent policy output on the international level, which (c) targets economically sensitive areas, and (d) a high share of cosmopolitans and exclusive nationalists in a given country to mobilize the resulting concerns over the impact of this legislation on economic well-being and cultural self-determination. In addition, Chapter 6 discusses the generalizability of these results and outlines their implications for research on international institutions’ design and behavior as well as for the study of contentious politics, and transnational democracy and legitimacy.
