PSC 412 - International Organization

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Political Science

Description:

International Organization Terrorism, acid rain, SARS, and bootleg DVD's all have one aspect in common- they are all transnational problems. In an effort to solve or control some of these problems, international actors have resorted to a variety of methods-ranging from treaties to warfare-some more sucessful than others. Success often depends on a strong commitment to cooperation from states, intergovernmental organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and a host of other actors. The purpose of this course is to explore how international organization is achieved to solve such problems. To understand this, we will first explore who the various actors are and how their perceptions of reality shape the outcome of attempts at cooperation. We will then look at individual issues in-depth and what solutions have been proposed.
