SoSe 18: The US in International Organizations
Lora Anne Viola
Comments
International organizations have been the corner stone of American hegemony since the end of WWII, and yet today many argue that the liberal institutional order created by the US is eroding. This course asks: How has the US shaped international organizations 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? 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 and consequences of that erosion? The course will address these questions by 1) studying theories of international cooperation, institutions, and hegemony, and 2) applying these theoretical insights to specific international organizations tasked with addressing global issues, such as development, nuclear non-proliferation, peacekeeping, trade, and climate change. close
