4. Introduction
An international organization is an organization with an international
membership, scope, or presence.
International Organisation is a specialisation within the Political Science
master programme. It covers various aspects of global governance from
multiple social and political science perspectives.
To study international organisation (IO) is to study the norms, rules, and
institutions that shape relations between states and contacts across state
borders, and how they affect people’s lives, the destiny of nations, and the fate
of the planet.
5. Benefits of International Organizations
International organizations can provide smaller states an opportunity for
stronger economic power.
This can also help build relationships with larger states in which some believe
can prevent war between one another.
Io’s also give states an opportunity to be efficient and that is why states join
them.
IO’s provides opportunity for secured world wide trade.
International organizations can benefit the larger states because it shows
others that they are willing to not always get their way on issues and it allows
them to work with others.
6. Limitations of International
Organizations
Cultural differences: very hard to deal with such difference. Beyond the
expertise to understand and overcome.
Monitoring multiple countries: It is very important and at the same time very
difficult to closely analyze all the economic and other dynamic situations all
over the world.
Resistance from the domestic organizations: the domestic organizations may
not be in favor of centralization of power.
Govt. and political hurdles: Different countries with different political parties
may lead to diversified the government restrictions and administrative limits.
7. Types Of International
Organizations
Inter-governmental organizations (IGOs)
An IGO is an organization composed primarily of
sovereign states(member states), or of other
intergovernmental organizations. IGOs are
established by treaty or other agreement that
acts as a charter(grant of authority/rights)
creating the group. Examples include the
United Nations, the World Bank, or the
European Union.
8. International non-governmental organizations
(NGOs)
An international non-governmental
organization (INGO) has the same mission as a
non-governmental organization (NGO), but it is
international in scope and has outposts around
the world to deal with specific issues in many
countries.
Some INGOs are operational(primary purpose is
to foster the community-based organizations
within each country via different projects and
operations)& some are advocacy-based(
primary purpose is to influence the policy-
making of different countries’ governments
regarding certain issues or promote the
awareness of a certain issue).
9. Multinational enterprises
A multinational corporation (MNC) or multinational enterprise is an
organization that owns or controls production of goods or services in
one or more countries other than their home country. It can also be
referred as an international corporation, a "transnational
corporation", or a stateless corporation.
10. Role Of International Organizations
The participating countries define the function of the International Organizations.
The objective of international organization is to study, collect and propagate
information, setting up of laws that are internationally accepted. The
international organizations also help in cooperation between different countries
by setting up negotiation deals between them. The international Organizations
also help in technical assistance.
Setting of international Norms through technical Analysis:
The International Organizations play an important role in collecting statistical
information, analyzing the trends in the variables, making a comparative study
and disseminate the information to all other countries. There are some
intergovernmental organizations that have set international Minimum standards.
Such norms are difficult to be set at the state level.
Supervisory Role:
There are some international organizations that perform certain supervisory
functions. The supervisory system of the UN is very weak. In contrast, the
supervisory mechanism of the ILO is quite strong. The European Union, together
with the Commission and the Court of Justice, has a relatively strong supervisory
mechanism.
11. Technical assistance:
An important role in the recent times, is lending out technical cooperation to
the member countries. By technical cooperation we mean the provision of
intellectual or financial material to the countries, which require them.
Negotiating and setting up multilateral agreements:
Amongst all the roles and activities of the international organizations, the
most important is negotiating and setting up multilateral agreements.
Minimizing the transaction costs can strengthen the cooperation between
different countries. Beside they also provide lucidity and information. For
negotiations, forums for bargaining are set up and focal point structures are
constructed during negotiations.
The multilateral agreements that are settled by the international
organizations occur in sections like environment protection, development
trade, crime human rights, etc.
12. Formation Of The International
Organization
A constituent act (charter), which is a type of international treaty, is the basis
for the creation and activities of each international organization. The charter
usually establishes an organization’s goals, principles, structure, and activities
and is the highest law for an international organization and its members. Its
provisions must accord with and must not contradict the norms and principles
of modern international law.
The highest body of most international organizations is the general assembly
(conference) of all members, which meets periodically (either annually or
once every few years). The competence of the general assembly usually
includes the adoption, review, amendment, and alteration of the constituent
act. In addition, the general assembly handles the admission of new
members, the establishment of a dues scale, and the adoption of a budget.
Most international organizations are governed by an executive council (for
example, an executive committee or presidium).
13. As a rule, each international organization has a standing secretariat headed
by a secretary-general or director.
In addition, auxiliary consultative bodies are usually established
(commissions, committees, working groups, and councils.
The decisions of an overwhelming majority of international organizations are
recommendations; that is, in a strictly legal sense, they are not binding on
their members.
International organizations contribute to the resolution of major international
problems. Some international organizations give financial support to NGIOs so
that they can implement concrete programs or conduct research in which the
interstate organizations are interested.
