It will analyze the historical and theoretical backgrounds of International Organizations in general and then explore how these concepts and roles have been evolving in contemporary international society. The course may delve into details on who is doing what in specific International Organizations, and whether they are effective in contributing to solutions for the current international challenges and crises. Students will be expected to explore various key International Organizations, including the United Nations, and will be encouraged to make their own observations on the performance and relevance of each regime, as well as formulate recommendations for feasible reform.
