International Organization

Course #: GGHS 715, Class #: 2677, Section #: 01

Description

This course provides an in depth overview of core institutions and actors in global governance - intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) with primary emphasis on the former. IGOs provide organization structures and decisions processes that comprise elements of governance for managing a wide array of global and regional interdependence issues. The scope of the field of international organization has vastly increased in the last twenty-five years, and this course surveys both the variety of theoretical approaches to studying IGOs and the broad range of topical issues that various IGOs address.
