Course Descriptions

Increasingly over the last 130 years, nation-states have agreed to found, fund, and join international organisations whose task is to oversee and organise the myriad global interactions which have increasingly become a part of daily life. As the actions of people and governments in one place increasingly affect the lives of people and the prerogatives and responsibilities of government in others, nation-states have ceded portions of their day to day sovereignty to international agencies and actors. Today, international organisations exercise globe-girdling responsibilities in areas that affect the daily life of nearly everyone. From transport to environmental pollution, from drug smuggling to AIDS, international organisations play a vital part in protecting life and imparting order to international intercourse. This course examines these international organisations and regimes which play such a vital role in today’s world.
