Course description
POLS2211 International Organisations and Political Cooperation examines cooperation by states in international and regional politics. Focusing on political, security, humanitarian and economic regimes evident in international and regional organisations, the course critically engages with theories, concepts and case studies to understand how and the extent which international and regional organisations shape international political cooperation and vice versa. With a focus on exploring the mandates, structures and functions of such international organisations as the United Nations, the European Community, NATO, the World Bank, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Pacific Island Forums (PAFs), this course enables students to gain critical knowledge and skill necessary to understand and analyse the challenges faced by international organisations.
