Structure: Can be intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) like the UN, WTO, IMF, or non-governmental organizations (INGOs) like Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders.
Membership: Typically composed of sovereign states, but some allow for non-state actors or regional entities.
Functions: Facilitate cooperation on global issues (e.g., climate change, trade, health), provide forums for dialogue and negotiation, establish and enforce international norms and laws, mediate disputes and promote peaceful conflict resolution, provide humanitarian aid and development assistance, and collect and disseminate information.
Types: Can be universal (e.g., UN, WTO) vs. regional (e.g., EU, ASEAN, SAARC), and general purpose (e.g., UN) vs. specialized (e.g., WHO, IMF, World Bank).
Challenges: Issues of sovereignty vs. international norms, unequal power dynamics (e.g., P5 veto in UNSC), funding challenges, and effectiveness in addressing complex global problems.
Relevance: Essential for maintaining global order, addressing transnational threats, promoting shared prosperity, and providing a platform for multilateral diplomacy.
