  1. Globalization and Intergovernmental Organizations Ariel Kravitz

  2. WHAT ARE IGOs? IGOs are organizations, typically created by treaty, between two or more nations with intention of working together towards a common interest.

  3. EXAMPLES OF IGOs • United Nations (UN) • Universal Postal Union • North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) • European Union (EU) • Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) • World Trade Organization (WTO) • African Development Bank (ADB)

  4. TYPES OF IGOs • Selective (Organization of the Islamic Conference, OPEC) • General (UN) • Specialized (NATO, Interpol)

  5. WHY DO WE HAVE IGOs? • Interconnectedness • Global Interdependence • Expansion of Transnational Disputes • Lack of Security • Small States Desire for Power • Success

  6. WHY GLOBALIZATION? • We start with a world-wide desire for peace. • The only way to achieve international peace is through global cooperation. • To cooperate on a global level, the world must have a common sense of ideas and beliefs. • To achieve this common sense of ideas and beliefs, globalization must occur.

  7. GLOBALIZATION’S EFFECT ON IGOs • IGOs sprung out of globalization. As the world became more interconnected and the lines blurred, the world needed global, rather than national, organizations in order to cooperate towards peace. • IGOs are the happy medium between state sovereignty and the disappearance of nation states.

  8. IGOs EFFECT ON GLOBALIZATION As IGOs grew, so did the global community. These organizations blurs the nation-states boundaries and allows for globalization to occur--initially at a political and economic level, but eventually at a social level too. IGOs amalgamate various cultures, and thus creates a globalized society.

  9. ROLE OF IGOs IN GLOBAL SOCIETY • Connects the world • Source of new ideas from different regions and cultures • Source of globalization • Combination of nation-states provide a high level of power • Provides international bodies for certain areas of dispute
