What is international organization as study or working field?

What is international organization as study or working field?

The study of International Organizations (IOs) dives into the world of institutions created by cooperation between nations. It examines their structures, functions, roles, and impacts on the global stage.

What are the main features of international organization?

  • Focus on Institutions: Analyzes the design, operation, and decision-making processes within IOs like the United Nations, World Trade Organization, or regional organizations like the African Union.
  • Multidisciplinary Approach: Draws from political science, law, economics, history, and international relations to understand the complex dynamics of IOs.
  • Global Governance: Explores how IOs shape international norms, rules, and practices, contributing to a system of global governance.

What are important sub-areas in international organization?

  • International Law and IOs: Examines the legal frameworks governing IOs, their legal capacity, and treaty negotiation processes.
  • IOs and Global Governance: Analyzes how IOs address global challenges like climate change, security threats, and pandemics.
  • Domestic Politics and IOs: Investigates the role of national interests and domestic politics in shaping the actions of IOs.
  • Theories of IOs: Explores different theoretical perspectives on the origins, functions, and effectiveness of IOs (e.g., realism, liberalism, constructivism).

What are key concepts in international organization?

  • Sovereignty: The right of a state to govern itself without external interference. (IOs often navigate the balance between respecting sovereignty and promoting collective action.)
  • International Regimes: Sets of rules, principles, and norms that govern international interactions in a particular area (e.g., international trade regime).
  • Legitimacy: The perceived rightfulness and effectiveness of an IO's actions.
  • Multilateralism: Cooperation involving many countries to address global challenges.
  • Global Public Goods: Benefits (like peace or environmental protection) that require international cooperation to provide.

Who are influential figures in international organization?

  • Woodrow Wilson: Championed the concept of a League of Nations after World War I.
  • David Mitrany: Pioneered the concept of functionalism, where cooperation on specific issues builds trust and leads to broader cooperation.
  • Hans Morgenthau: A realist scholar who emphasized the role of national interests in shaping IOs.
  • Robert Keohane: A liberal institutionalist who highlighted the role of IOs in promoting cooperation and addressing global challenges.

Why is international organization important?

The study of IOs is crucial because:

  • IOs play a central role in addressing global challenges that no single country can solve alone.
  • They provide platforms for international cooperation, negotiation, and rule-making.
  • Understanding IOs helps us analyze their effectiveness in promoting peace, security, and global well-being.

How is international organization applied in practice?

  • Diplomacy: Diplomats work through IOs to negotiate agreements, represent national interests, and address global problems.
  • International Law: Lawyers specialize in legal issues related to IOs, treaties, and international disputes.
  • Global Governance: Experts work within IOs or advise governments on how to strengthen global governance through international cooperation.
  • Research and Analysis: Researchers study IOs to understand their effectiveness and propose solutions for improvement.

What is working in the non-profit sector or at an international organisation abroad?

  • 'Working at an NGO' is in fact a collective term for the many functions that this type of organisation offers: from lawyer and accountant to social media campaign leader and from biological fieldworker to investigative journalist.
  • Depending on your expertise, the sector in which you want to work for a non-profit organisation and the country you want to go to, your options will vary greatly.
Back to top

Why would you work at an international organisation?

  • To gain experience: by working abroad, your work experience increases within your own field of expertise but also outside of it in general. During your stay abroad, you experience much more when you go to work than if you were already travelling.
  • To strengthen your empathy: by working in a different culture, you often strengthen your own ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes. The differences in culture, working methods and communication methods ensure that you accept or accept other things more quickly as they are. Your own perspective quickly becomes broader, more spacious and especially more flexible.
  • To increase your stress resistance: you regularly work under reasonable or great pressure; working in a different culture can be an attack on your stress resistance. Especially due to pressure that can arise because you have to communicate in a different language, have to perform new tasks or receive limited coaching. Yet for almost everyone, these experiences contribute to a significant increase in your stress resistance.
  • To discover and accept your own qualities: further away from your familiar environment, you discover more quickly what you can actually do and what you actually want. It is precisely by going to work that you encounter yourself more often, you get to know yourself better and accept who you are and want to be.
Back to top

What do you need if you want to work abroad for an NGO?

  • Flexibility: you already need some form of flexibility, the rest you gain during your stay abroad. Communication skills: depending on the type of work, you will need to have a reasonable to good command of the local language.
  • Independence and/or self-confidence: you already need a certain form of independence, and your self-confidence will grow as a result.
  • Being aware of your surroundings: an important element for working for an international organisation abroad.
  • Collaboration skills: networking, both inside and outside your organisation, is crucial for finding a (next) job at an international organisation.

To what extent are you insured for the risks when working for an NGO abroad?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance when working abroad with an international organisation
  • During work, an internship or volunteering abroad your local health insurance most of the time lapses. You will then need special insurance to remain insured against illness and accidents.
  • Local employers generally do not offer any, or limited, supplementary insurance.
  • There is a chance of accidents because, for example, you are doing work with which you have little experience, or because of challenging local working conditions.
  • A number of specialised insurances offer options for (temporary) paid work abroad.
  • See the pages about insuring paid work abroad and the pages about your healthcare costs abroad.

Activities abroad

    Back to top

    What social activities can you do abroad?

    • Opportunities are found in the areas of helping, learning or studying. You can get involved to volunteer in a social project at a school in Africa, Asia or Latin America. You can get involved in nature, in a project with animals or cleaning the sea or beaches. Those who want to learn more can choose for example a language course in Latin America, Spain or South Africa.
    Back to top

    What work related activities can you do abroad?

    • If you want to gain work experience, and/or also earn money, go and work abroad. You can combine backpacking in Australia with temporary work. You can work on campsites in Europe or bush camps in Africa. You can pretty much go all over the world to work in the hospitality industry, hotels and hostels, in the healthcare sector or for example at a diving school.
    Back to top

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
