Abstract

The main objective of this article is to develop a better understanding of the structure of transnational regulatory scientific institutions (RSIs). We will argue that the hybrid political-legal-epistemic nature of RSIs creates a continual tension between their hierarchical and policy-driven structure and the paradigms of objectivity, parallelism and non-centralism that characterize science. The article examines the way in which RSIs cope with the challenge of maintaining their epistemic/political authority against the tensions generated by their hybrid structure. The article focuses on three institutions: the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and the International Competition Network (ICN), and examines how this challenge manifests itself in the context of these three bodies. The article links the discussion of hybrid authority with the problem of scientific uncertainty. It concludes with a discussion of the optimal design of RSIs.

18 Djelic notes that the ICN had to revise is ultimate objectives, moving from an attempt to generate global harmonization of competition rules to ‘informed divergence’, which reflects the reality that best practices will always have to be tailored to national circumstances: see Djelic, M., ‘International Competition Network’, in Hale, T. & Held, D.

20 Author Principles Governing IPCC Work, Approved at the 14th Session (Vienna (Austria), 1–3 Oct. 1998) on 1 Oct. 1998, amended at the 21st Session (Vienna (Austria), 3 and 6–7 Nov. 2003) and at the 25th Session (Mauritius, 26–28 Apr. 2006), available at: http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/ipcc-principles/ipcc-principles.pdf.

21 These reports have to be approved by the IPCC plenary by consensus. IPCC Governing Principles, Art. 4 states: ‘Major decisions of the IPCC will be taken by the Panel in plenary meetings.’ Art. 10 states that ‘in taking decisions, and approving, adopting and accepting reports, the Panel, its Working Groups and any Task Forces shall use all best endeavors to reach consensus’. While Art. 10 allows for some exceptions, the principle of consensus has been a key feature of the IPCC institutional culture: see Yohe, G. & Oppenheimer, M., ‘Evaluation, Characterization, and Communication of Uncertainty by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: An Introductory Essay’ (2011) 108(4) Climatic Change, pp. 629–39.CrossRefGoogle Scholar

22 These political-regulatory bodies include Conferences of the Parties (COPs) of the UNFCCC, the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, and the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) established under Art. 9 of the UNFCCC; Skodvin & Alfsen, n. 16 above, at p. 4.

23 These bodies include the Working Groups (WGs) and the IPCC plenaries. Two examples could illustrate this point. Firstly, it is customary that any changes to the summaries of the reports (the summary for policy-makers and executive summary) in WG plenary may not take place without consent from the lead authors of the chapter in question. Secondly, according to the IPCC rules of procedure, the WG plenary may not amend a report that has been approved by the WG plenary (it has to accept or reject it en bloc). These two principles guarantee that scientists have significant control over the decision-making process despite the fact that the WG and IPCC plenaries are dominated by government officials: see Skodvin & Alfsen, n. 16 above, at pp. 6–7. For a different view on this question, see Haas & Stevens, n. 4 above, at p. 144.

The concept of boundary organizations, which was invoked by scholars such as David Guston to describe the work of RSIs, misses this tension between truth and validity, focusing solely on the way in which these bodies operate at the intersection of science and politics. We argue that the tension we point to emerges directly from the effort to hierarchically institutionalize scientific decision-making.

62 The notion of ‘usable knowledge’ comes closer to capturing the dual nature of the products of RSIs.

Even if successful, these engagement efforts remain confined to the ICN professional community. See E.

108 Ibid., at p. 544 (emphasis added). ICNIRP reiterates its position in the concluding section of the article, noting that ‘[t]he ICNIRP approach to providing advice on limiting exposure to NIR necessarily requires well-based scientific data related to established health effects’: ibid., at p. 546.

109 Thus, e.g., they not only emphasize the importance of peer-reviewed materials (ibid., at p. 544) but also emphasize that certain types of data, such as epidemiological studies, cannot support ‘established’ assertions on causality: ibid., at p. 543.

110 Ibid., at p. 547. These approaches, it is argued, ‘generally center on reducing needless exposure to the suspected agent’: ibid.

112 Thus, regarding the question of the carcinogenic potential of ELF magnetic fields, ICNIRP emphasized the lack of proof regarding causal relationships, and referred to the WHO for ‘risk management advice, including considerations on precautionary measures’: ICNIRP, ‘Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-Varying Electric and Magnetic Fields (1 Hz to 100 kHz)’ (2010) 99(6) Health Physics, pp. 818–36.Google Scholar

120 Mike Hulme argues that the IPCC should be dissolved after the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) in 2014 and its work should be split into three types of assessment undertaken by three new groups. The first would be a Global Science Panel (GSP). The second group would be made up of Regional Evaluation Panels (REPs). The third group would be the Policy Analysis Panel (PAP): Hulme, n. 9 above.

121 The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) (available at: http://www.ieee.org) also produces safety standards in the field of RF electromagnetic fields; its work provides an alternative view to that of ICNIRP, although ICNIRP is more dominant: see Osepchuk, J.M. & Petersen, R.C., ‘Safety Standards for Exposure to RF Electromagnetic Fields’ (2001) 2(2) Microwave Magazine, pp. 57–69Google Scholar; Reilly, J.P., ‘An Analysis of Differences in the Low-Frequency Electric and Magnetic Field Exposure Standards of ICES and ICNIRP’ (2005) 89(1) Health Physics, pp. 71–80Google Scholar; and Roy, C.R. & Martin, L.
