Abstract
Comparing the case studies along the lines of cultures, leadership, resources, ideas and global issues reveals how culture motivates, maintains and even inhibits partnerships. The engineering and the organizational culture at the ITU has created a regime of maintenance for their public-private partnerships, their long relationship with the telecommunication industry settled into what works, obviating a need for change. Historically, police culture inhibited Interpol’s partnerships. Even today, this cultural trait still plays a hand in partnering with outsiders. Conservation culture – which grew out of ICCROM – remains oriented toward cooperation and collaboration. These cases provide some theoretical insights into technical organizations – a largely overlooked – but critical – element of global governance.
