20 MPIfG Report 1999–2002 Problem-Solving Effectiveness of Multilevel Governing in Europe Fritz W. Scharpf In this book project, the conceptual framework that was presented in the MPIfG Working Paper 01/4 will be developed further, and it will be fleshed out or corrected through secondary analyses of empirical research on multilevel European policy making. Original empirical research will focus on the problem-solving effectiveness of the new mode of “open coordination.” Project duration: July 2001 to December 2002. ICANN has become involved in economic and political issues, confronting the organization with problems of representation, legitimacy and democratic control for which it appeared to be ill-equipped. Moreover, as a member of the steering committee Raymund Werle was involved in a collaborative project on “Global Networks and Local Values,” which explored the potential impacts of the Internet on social values in Germany and the United States and developed guidelines for governments on how to cope with the resulting policy issues. The project brought together lawyers, economists, social scientists and IT experts from the United States and Germany. It was coordinated by the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board (CSTB) of the U.S. National Research Council (NRC) and the German Max Planck Project Group on Common Goods (Bonn). The steering committee’s final report was published by the NRC at the end of 2001. In 2002 a German version was published. Finally, Werle was a member of the project group “Trade, Investment and Competition Policies in the Global Economy: The Case of the International Telecommunications Regime,” which was coordinated by the Hamburger Weltwirtschaftsarchiv (HWWA) and the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) in Rome. He contributed a study of the role of technical standards and standardization organizations in the emerging free trade regime in telecommunications.

In: Scandinavian Political Studies, Vol. 24, No. 1, 1–26 (2001) Pension Reform Politics in International Comparison Martin Schludi National pension schemes are facing substantial pressure to adapt to international competition and demographic change, especially in countries where the public/private pension mix is dominated by a publicly financed, pay-as-you-go system (so-called Bismarck systems). This study analyzes the conditions under which pension systems in such countries can become more fiscally stable and efficient, especially by expanding the role of private and fully-funded pension plans. Thus far, there has been little systematic, comparative empirical research on the scope and effectiveness of such reform. This doctoral project aims to close this gap and to examine the economic, institutional and political factors which have favored, hampered or even prevented the development of effective pension policies. It departs from a hypothesis that the political feasibility of such reforms heavily depends on the government’s ability to orchestrate a reform consensus either Project Areas and Research Projects Martin Schludi Jürgen Feick with the parliamentary opposition or with the trade unions.

Cologne: Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, 2001, 49 pp. The Regulation of Pharmaceutical Products in Europe Jürgen Feick In the early sixties the European Commission started discussions about market entry regulation for pharmaceuticals parallel to and in interdependence with similar national efforts. The Commission tried to avoid divergent national policies which would hinder the establishment of the Single Market. In a first phase legal harmonization was supposed to, but in fact did not assure mutual recognition of the Member State authorities’ regulatory decisions. In a second phase, more detailed harmonization directives have been introduced alongside procedural cooperation measures. These further attempts proved inadequate, too, resulting eventually in the institutionalization of a European Evaluation Agency and the introduction of a centralized European procedure – albeit limited to innovative pharmaceuticals. Today, three distinctive procedures exist within the EC: the centralized procedure dominated by European regulators; the decentralized procedure, which is nationally dominated but potentially subject to strong EC influence; and purely national market entries. This project analyzes the transnationalization of pharmaceutical 21
