International Institutions and...

Rodolfo Gutiérrez Silva

Seguimos teniendo las mismas instituciones y mecanismos internacionales que diseñamos luego de la segunda guerra mundial. Dichas instituciones se caracterizan por su fragmentación, disfunciones estructurales como la corrupción, falta de recursos y por una falta de capacidad institucional. El objetivo de este libro es evaluar los desafíos que enfrentan las instituciones internacionales en la protección de los derechos económicos, sociales y culturales. Más específicamente, busca detectar diferentes patrones en dos tipos de actores que incluyen las instituciones financieras internacionales y las instituciones del sistema universal, como la Agencia de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados. La metodología incluye un diseño de investigación documental comparativo y la evaluación de estudio de casos. Esto incluye una evaluación de varios casos que analizan el papel de las instituciones internacionales y su interacción con los derechos humanos. Intentar encontrar patrones comunes en diferentes estructuras y procesos nos da alguna indicación, una imagen del tipo de problemas que estas instituciones enfrentan actualmente. Los casos estudiados en esta investigación revelan una serie de desafíos que enfrentan dichas instituciones que van desde el fortalecimiento de aspectos organizacionales y estratégicos hasta, en general, el fortalecimiento de la capacidad institucional. Sin embargo, el principal desafío encontrado es el desarrollo de la reflexividad institucional intencional. Esto implica la adopción, por parte de las instituciones internacionales, de una nueva orientación hacia principios y valores. La promoción de este nuevo enfoque debe comenzar con una reestructuración completa a nivel mundial.
