International Organisations (SZF_195)

The aim of the study course is to expand knowledge of the role and challenges of international organisations in today’s international environment. Let us focus on how international organisations institutionalise cooperation at international level, including their creation, internal dynamics and complex relations with countries on a variety of issues. The course will address the activities of various international organisations in various fields: collective security, trade, finance, democracy promotion and human rights, regional integration, etc. The UN, WTO, IMF, OSCE and other organisations will be covered. Through the prism of international organisations, let us analyse the values, interests and institutional mechanisms of international actors and apply these lessons to understand deeper international cooperation and conflict in general.
