Course Description:
As a result of the two World Wars in the 20th century, people have realized that international relations can be sustained through the setting up of international institutions as a means to exchange ideas, and maintain and build peace. In particular, the negative experience of World War II instigated a more forceful political commitment to institutionalize peace through international institutions. The United Nations is one of the major expressions of this evolutionary process in inter-state relations. The European Union, NATO, and a large number of regional organizations, including the African Union, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and MERCOSUR aim at promoting unity among governments and their people and in harmonizing efforts for regional and inter-regional cooperation.
The aim of this study-unit is to analyse and understand the importance of some of the major international institutions in world politics from both a theoretical and empirical point of view.
