**Two PhD Positions: Multistakeholder Global Governance (Full-Time, 1.0 FTE)**

Leiden University is looking to appoint two fully-funded four-year full-time PhD positions in a project on Multistakeholder Global Governance: Capacity, Effectiveness, Legitimacy. One position will be based in the Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA) at the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs (FGGA). The other position will be based in the Institute of Political Science at the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences (FSW). The project is embedded in Leiden University’s interfaculty programme on Global Transformations and Governance Challenges (GTGC) and funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO).

**Project Description**

These PhD positions contribute pivotally to the project Multistakeholder Global Governance: Capacity, Effectiveness, Legitimacy. This project undertakes the first comprehensive detailed systematic comparative analysis of the promises and pitfalls of multistakeholder

arrangements for addressing global challenges. As core participants in the project, the PhD students will make important advances on theory, empirics, and policy around global multistakeholder frameworks.

Today’s major societal problems have significant global dimensions that demand substantial global policy responses. Yet, at the present moment of unprecedented need for global-scale governance, old-style multilateralism through intergovernmental organizations is stalled. One prominent alternative to multilateralism is multistakeholderism, which assembles parties from business, civil society, foundations, government, research and/or technical experts. Three major instances of multistakeholder global governance (also the focal case studies for this project) include the Forest Stewardship Council, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. FSC, GFATM, and ICANN are key venues for global governance respectively of environment, health, and communications.

The central question for this project asks: how can multistakeholder global governance operate well? More specifically, the study enquires how far, and under what circumstances, multistakeholder global governance at FSC, GFATM, and ICANN can attain capacity, effectiveness, and legitimacy? Regarding capacity, how well equipped are these three global multistakeholder governance apparatuses? Regarding effectiveness, how far do they impact their respective fields? Regarding legitimacy, how much approval do these global multistakeholder regimes attract? Moreover, what conditions promote or hinder capacity, effectiveness, and legitimacy in these three key instances of multistakeholder global governance?

In terms of theory, the project pursues a broadly institutional approach. The study seeks to understand multistakeholder global governance primarily in terms of its organizational features, such as the purposes, procedures, and performances of the regulatory apparatuses. To be sure, the study also considers the individual level (i.e. how the features of persons shape the workings of FSC, GFATM, and ICANN) and the societal level (i.e. how the three bodies are nested in wider cultural, economic, and political contexts), since individual and societal circumstances often affect organizational workings. Moreover, while a general institutional orientation applies for the collective project analysis, the PhD students may in their individual dissertations pursue any preferred theoretical perspectives, from power politics to postcolonialism.

**Position Description**

One doctoral student will undertake the main FSC research, while the other will undertake the main GFATM research. Scholte will undertake the main ICANN research. Jongen will support all three case studies, especially as regards data analysis.

Since the project depends on closely coordinated collaboration among the four researchers, the PhD students need to commit to the work period from early 2025 to end 2028.

**What you will do**
- Complete a PhD dissertation within the four-year timeframe of the project
- Pursue a project case study of either the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM)
- Conduct both independent and collaborative data collection and analysis
- Co-author 3 journal articles together with other researchers on the team
- Contribute to a co-authored book manuscript
- Prepare policy briefs and podcasts that present results to non-academic audiences
- Assist with project website and social media communications
- Present project findings and recommendations at academic and policy venues
- Contribute to the general research environment of the respective institutes as well as
