Abstract

von Borzyskowski and Vabulas’ (2019) pioneering research explores why states withdraw from intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). Contrary to popular belief, the research finds that IGO withdrawal has little to do with increased nationalism and instead is largely driven by geopolitical reasons and democracy levels both within the state and organization. In this study, I test von Borzyskowski and Vabulas’ empirical analysis by the introduction of an alternative measure of leader nationalism that more closely matches their theoretical argument. With this alternative nationalism measure, I find strong evidence consistent with popular belief: nationalism is a key driving force for IGO withdrawals across space and time.
