The Evolution of the UN System and IO-Theory
Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: International Organisations, grade: 2 (B), University of Tubingen (Institute of Political Science - Department of International Relations/Peace- und Conflict Research), course: UN System Politics and Policy, language: English, abstract: The history of international relations, which is dominated by competition of states, was impressed by the overcoming of this structure. There were several philosophers like Niccolò Machiavelli, Immanuel Kant and Jürgen Habermas who were engaged in answering the basic question about how states could cooperate and how they could solve their conflicts.1 International organizations (IOs) are one response to the growing tension in world society between the process of integration and the desire for separation. The Industrial Revolution, the creation and integration of the world economy and at the same time the movement of ideas and people, as well as that of goods and services were the basics for the idea of globalisation. There was also a growth of nationalism, particularly strong in eighteenth- and nineteenthcentury Europe. Subjects became citizens, and there was a tendency to a sharper demarcation of identities based on language, religion and ethnicity.

This volume describes how IOs, their secretariats and executive heads launch and implement innovative activities-initiatives-and adapt to respond to crises, members' demands, internal impulses, or interactions with the outside world. It brings together distinguished scholars and experienced practitioners of IOs to showcase and investigate IOs' adaptive capacity, their achievements, and limitations. Through case studies and conceptual frameworks, the book explores a largely uncharted world of IO evolution in which the international secretariats contribute importantly to adapting the role of the IGO. The volume brings to light the mechanisms used by IOs to adapt to what were, on each occasion, new challenges to their efforts to assist and respond to unprecedented needs of members faced with contemporary realities"--
