📌 Overall:
Multilateral institutions have proven institutionally robust —stable decision-making, no democratic collapse — but they face growing headwinds. Stagnating openness and rising autocratisation pose risks for the future of global governance.

🏛️ Domestic regime type:
IOs with more democratic memberships tend to perform better and maintain greater access for non-state actors. Where autocratisation rises, we see early signs of declining output and stalled openness — though major rollbacks have not yet appeared.

⚖️ Effectiveness vs inclusiveness?
The data show no strong trade-off, despite what some have feared. More open IOs are not less effective. Instead, performance and openness often move together, shaped by similar structural conditions — particularly the democratic composition of IO membership.

The rapid expansion of non-state access seen from 1990–2010 has largely stalled. Since 2010, access rules have stayed almost unchanged — no major expansion, but also no clear rollback, despite rising autocratisation.
