WiSe 22/23: International Organizations
Elvira Rosert
Comments
International organizations (IOs) are an essential part of the international system. Hundreds (or even thousands) of them work in various policy fields such as security, arms control, international law, human rights, economy, finance, and development. IOs operate at differing levels – supranational, intergovernmental, or non-governmental – and have differing geographic coverage and membership, which can be global, inter-regional, regional or sub-regional.
In this class, we will read and discuss major publications on IOs to analyze various aspects of the topic. Why do international organizations exist and how are they created? Do they fulfill their functions and if not, why not? What drives change and reform and IOs, and what hinders it? What are the sources of authority and legitimacy of IOs? And how can we explain the persistence of international organizations – and their dissolution? While the main focus of the class will be theoretical, we will illustrate theoretical concepts by applying them to concrete examples from the area of IOs. close
