SoSe 17: American Hegemony in International Organizations

Lora Anne Viola

Comments

International organizations have been the corner stone of American hegemony since the end of WWII. In the first part of the course we ask: How has the US shaped these institutions and wielded power through them? With what consequences for other countries? With what consequences for global issues, such as security, climate change, development, or nuclear proliferation? Recently, US hegemony appears to be in decline and new powers seem to be emerging as important players. In the second part of the course we ask: How might this power shift affect international institutions and global governance? Are there alternative institutions emerging to challenge US power and primacy? Is the liberal institutional order created by the US eroding? If so, what are the causes of that erosion? Throughout the course we investigate these and related issues by examining a set of core international organizations across a range of globally significant issue areas. close
