Course Description

The course focuses on the nature and purpose of international organizations as supra-national entities created by sovereign states for the management of their relations. It exposes students to the nature of the international organizations, types, features, organs, and their roles and importance and deals with the challenges that confront international organizations which inhibit their ability to achieve their aims. Students understand the nature and types of international organizations as well as their relevance to the management of the international system. Students identify and classify the international organizations according to their geographical spread and functional importance. The primary goal is to encourage students of International Politics to be able to understand why States decide to form organizations to assist them to manage relationships between and among them. Students interrogate the relevance of these organizations that serve as a vehicle of sustenance of global peace as well as obstacles that impede their functioning. They must be able to identify and explain the various types of international organizations and why they exist.
