This course aims to have students understand the context of international organizations (IOs). Various perspectives on transnational and international politics will be scrutinized to understand how the roles and functions of IOs have been transforming. In this context, this course aims to enhance student's skills for the following objectives:
• Understand IOs,
• Review the functions of IOs and their effectiveness and contributions to global governance,
• Develop skills to think critically, systematically and comparatively about IOs,
• Evaluate different approaches and models to interpret IO's role in global governance,
• Examine contemporary readings on IOs.

Course Content
|
The course will cover a wide range of themes that appear to be the pillars and changing nature of IOs in global governance. This course is an introductory one to the multidisciplinary conceptualization of IOs. It introduces the fundamental concepts, theoretical frameworks and practices of IOs. Students will get familiar with the transformation of the concepts, key theorists and significant debates within the field.
The course is organized into three parts; the first part will introduce students to the fundamental concepts of the field and its theories. The second part will introduce the IOs and their functions. The third part will focus on questioning their efficiency.
