CASE STUDY: The best hope of mankind? A brief history of the UN
Write about 300 wors about the structers of the united nations:
What do you think of the structure of the UN? What are its strengths and weaknesses? If you were consulted to help design the main international organization for global governance, what would you do differently, and why?
Our focus this week will be on global governance and institutions-how has the world responded to various globalization processes in terms of politics? We won't get into the history much, and we'll focus on the main method shaping the world order since the end of WWII: the United Nations.
The first reading you should take a look at is the Hanhimaki reading about the history, structure, and politics of the UN (check the uploaded file). There's a chart in there on p. 28 that will be pretty hard to read, but here's a url for better version of it:
