Purpose and content of the course
| Course Objectives: | People who care about multilateralism argue that the role of international organizations is no longer critical. The world faces multiple interconnected crises that no state or actor can address alone. International organizations not only offer ways for states to cooperate, but they are also essential sources of knowledge, and some play a decisive role as convenors. At the same time, the domestic policies in some countries are more inward-looking and skeptical, or even hostile, about the value of multilateralism. The world has grappled with many issues in the handful of years since the end of the Cold War. In recent years, it has been challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic that killed millions of people, crippled economies, and changed so many other aspects of our lives. Its ripple effects continue. There is also more awareness of the existential threat climate change poses. Are you in Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez's startling note: "Humanity is facing a difficult truth: climate change is making our planet unable inhabitable." Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 had an enormous poll, including thousands killed and one million displaced, while contributing to the global energy and food crisis. It also raises questions about the effectiveness of the UN Security Council, given that Russia's veto power quashed any chance of a robust response. There is more evidence about the decline of democracy, more questions about the resilience of the liberal international order, more concern about economic stability, rising inequality, and poverty, and more about the impact of artificial intelligence on our lives and world. |
| Course Objective: | How can we understand the role of international organizations in global governance? This course aims to develop a new comprehensive understanding of major international organizations and their evolving role in international politics and global governance. The course focuses on 'global issues' across geographic, economic, social, and political dimensions. |
