Abstract

Providing high-level policy advice to developing countries with the purpose to shape national policies is a key function of the UN. Yet no official UN definition of policy advice exists and little is known on how much weight the UN gives to this support modality in contrast to capacity-building and implementation work. To address this gap, this article first articulates the case for the UN’s role in policy change. It then presents an empirical analysis of the policy advice landscape of the UN, providing a numerical estimate of the share of resources dedicated to policy advice and identifying five practical constraints on the UN’s policy advice function. Results suggest that, despite high expectations, the UN’s fieldwork is not strategically focused on policy advice. This article contributes to the underresearched field of UN development work and how it is, or should be, shaped by the UN’s multilateralism.

联合国发展工作中的政策建议
向发展中国家提供高级别政策建议,以形成国家政策,是联合国的一项关键职能。然而,联合国没有对政策咨询的官方定义,也很少有人知道,与能力建设和实施工作相比,联合国对这种支持方式的重视程度。为了解决这一差距,本文首先阐述了联合国在政策变革中的作用。然后,对联合国的政策咨询形势进行了实证分析,提供了用于政策咨询的资源份额的数字估计,并确定了联合国政策咨询职能的五个实际制约因素。结果表明,尽管期望很高,但联合国的实地工作并没有在战略上侧重于政策建议。本文对联合国发展工作这一尚未得到充分研究的领域以及联合国多边主义如何或应该如何塑造联合国发展工作做出了贡献。
