Abstract

Angesichts grenzüberschreitender Wirtschaftsverflechtungen nimmt die Bedeutung von internationalen Organisationen und ihr Einfluss auf die politische, rechtliche und wirtschaftliche Situation in nationalstaatlichen Arenen zu. Als politische Institutionen agieren internationale Organisationen in nationalstaatlich geprägten Kontexten. Jedoch gibt es kaum gesicherte Erkenntnisse, wie diese Organisationen die Formulierung und Implementierung grenzübergreifender Politiken auf Signale aus und Entwicklungen in ihrer Umwelt abstimmen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird argumentiert, dass in den Kommunikations- und Abstimmungsprozessen zwischen internationalen Organisationen und den Akteuren aus ihrer Umwelt Anlässe für Organisationslernen begründet liegen. Das Interaktionsgeschehen ist durch "boundary spanning units" in den Handlungszusammenhang der Organisation eingebunden. An den Außengrenzen der Organisationen fungieren sie als Bindeglieder zur Umwelt. Nach innen können sich boundary spanning units förderlich auf Lernen in internationalen Organisationen auswirken, da hierüber die für diese Organisationen überlebenswichtigen Signale (Wissen, Anforderungen, Erwartungen) aus der Umwelt in die Organisation gelangen. Im Mittelpunkt des vorliegenden Aufsatzes steht die Fragestellung, unter welchen Bedingungen äußere Signale Lernprozesse in internationalen Organisationen auslösen. Hierfür werden auf der Grundlage eines soziologischen Verständnisses zum Organisation-Umwelt Verhältnis ausgewählte Konzepte aus dem Bereich des Organisationslernens und Überlegungen aus der politikwissenschaftlichen Diskussion zum Lernen in öffentlichen Politiken miteinander verknüpft.
