  1. Chapter 7 Intergovernmental Organizations

  2. Creation of IGOs • Some countries have responsibility to lead • League of Nations • United Nations • Peace Keeping • Necessity with increasingly complex and intertwined world

  3. Growth of IGOs • 251 in 2004 • Expanded role re: concerns and issues addressed (example: terrorism, human rights, famine) • Increase in international contact • Increase in transnational problems • Interdependence

  4. Functionalism • Theory of IGO growth • Idea that the way to global cooperation is through an evolutionary approach that begins with limited, pragmatic cooperation on narrow-nonpolitical issues. (example: mail)

  5. Neofuncationalism • Top-down approach to solving world problems; advocates skeptical about the functionalist believe that nonpolitical cooperation can, by itself, lead eventually to full political cooperation

  6. Roles of IGOs • An interactive arena in which member-states pursue their individual national interests • Center of Cooperation • Can serve as unified independent actor on world state • Supranational organization (has legal authority over its members)

  7. Purposes of IGOs • Promote Peace and Security • Social, Economic, Environmental and other activities regulated and discussed

  8. Future of IGOs • Is this progress? • Is unification the future? • Do alternatives exist?
