International institutions
Prerequisite
– 11 Introduction to international relations
This subject examines
elements of international organisation: its theory and practice studied
through the constitution and experience of selected international institutions.
This syllabus is mainly concerned with international organisation at
the global level, but also includes regional and transregional arrangements.
The following categories will be distinguished and defined for closer
consideration.
- The structure
of intergovernmental organisations; their component parts and institutional
dynamics
- Global international
organisation: historical and theoretical contexts of the League of
Nations and
- United Nations;
process and progress; peace and security; law and normative development;
economic and social development.
- Selected examples
of regional international organisation.
- The Commonwealth
as a transregional international organisation.
- Enduring problems
of international organisations.
- International
organisation as a dimension of international relations, as a higher
form of conference diplomacy, and as an expression of human solidarity
in confronting shared predicaments.
