Course Title:
International Organization [E] 01
Course Number:
POLX241L
Course Description:
How and why were international organizations created/formed and sometimes collapsed? How and why do sovereign states agree to create international institutions and organizations? What has been the political dynamism behind any international organization? As an academic discipline, International Relations (IR) has attempted to answer those questions.
Through a longer history of international society, or society of sovereign states, the so-called international organizations were not naturally created. This course will look back the history of Western international society and its global expansion. It will then put such international organizations as the League of Nations and the United Nations (UN) in this historical context. It will particularly focus on the role of Japan in any international organization.
