Course Objectives: This course is designed to provide a detailed introduction to the role of international
organizations (IOs) in the international system, including their origin, design, and interaction with states.
In the process, we will peruse achievements, failures and controversies surrounding IOs in the contemporary
world politics. We will mainly focus on international governmental organizations (IGOs); however, some
discussions will also address the (international) non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and institutions
that are harder to classify, but a↵ect inter-state relations. IOs a↵ect diverse policy areas such as nuclear
security, economic cooperation, public health, human rights, and environmental protection. Despite this
wide-ranging presence, arguments about relevance of these institutions (and international cooperation
in general) surface frequently in public debates in the Unites States and abroad. Is institutionalized
multilateralism the answer to global problems? Are IOs just tools of powerful states to impose their
preferences on the weaker states? Do IOs undermine sovereignty of the United States? Is institutionalized
cooperation cost-e↵ective? In this course, we will attempt to address those and other questions. In the
first part of the semester we will look towards existing theoretical approaches to systematically approach
study of IOs. Following, students will apply these approaches in their own research, outstanding questions
involving international organizations.
Disclaimer: Information, including deadlines, assignments, and reading materials outlined in
this syllabus are subject to change.
REQUIRED READING MATERIALS
Textbook: International Organizations: The Politics and Processes of Global Governance. Margaret P.
Karns and Karen A. Mingst. Lynne Rienner Publishers, London, U.K. second edition (2010) or newer
[Abbreviation: KM]
Electronic Journal Articles: Most of the assigned readings are available at the UGA library. You can
access those articles by visiting http://www.libs.uga.edu/ejournals
Course Reserve: Few readings may be available through the main library’s course reserve. To access
this resource please go to http://libs.uga.edu/accesss ervices/reserves.html. Password “igo”.
Prerequisites: This is a senior level course and as such it assumes proficiency in reading of relatively
complex scientific journal articles. You are not expected to follow all of the methodological (statistical,
formal models) sections; however, comprehension of main points is required. If you should run into
2
problems, you can contact me before the class that the reading is due. Further, it may be helpful to check
with your undergraduate advisor about the necessary/recommended prerequisites.
COURSE EXPECTATIONS: READINGS AND PARTICIPATION
Student Initiative. Students are expected to participate in class discussions which address assigned
readings and issues pertinent to the topics scheduled for a given class. This rule will be the the key to
your class experience, since best comprehension can only be facilitated through preparation before the
class and active participation through in-class discussions. Completion of all assigned readings prior to
the scheduled class will increase the benefits of class attendance and can serve as a good metric of your
comprehension of the material.
Pop Up Quizzes During the semester, I will be administering unannounced quizzes, which will be
covering readings assigned for that class, as well as the most important events related to the international
organizations and/or global governance. Those quizzes will contribute to your participation grade as well
as to your current-events component (see “Grading Components” section).
Reading. A moderate number of readings will be assigned most of the weeks, however, some weeks
will require you to spend significant amount of time covering assigned texts. To maximize your reading
efficiency, do not read “word for word;” rather, try to extract the main points of the author(s)’ argument
and identify important questions and problems characteristic of the argument. I recommend, to skim the
introduction and conclusion first, noting major points about the argument. Subsequently, go over the body
of the text, identifying important sections and their purpose. Academic writing is rarely an impromptu
exploration, and, as such, is typically carefully organized to get the point across most efficiently and
logically. Pay attention to major headings and the points they cover. Then, note how these sections relate
and connect to each other to construct the argument. Finally, assess the evidence provided in support of
main argument and evaluate how convincingly the evidence supports the argument.
Some Questions to Guide Your Reading
• What is the main point of the article?
• Is the argument logical and well developed?
• What evidence is provided to support the main point? Is it convincing?
• Can you think of a di↵erent argument that is supported by this evidence?
• Can you think of evidence that opposes the argument?
• Why are we reading this (“I should be having fun”)?
Finally, as you read throughout this course, think about how the texts you are reading can be used in your
own essays, which you will have to write during your exams.
Evaluation. Student participation in class accounts for 10% of the grade in this course. I will be taking
note of your contributions and progress in quality of your contribution. Please note that talking a lot does
not equal higher participation quality; though, I encourage you to participate whenever you feel you can
add to the discussion or have a question about material covered.
3
Deadlines. You are expected to turn in the assignments at the beginning of the class and the exam on
the date specified above. Failure to meet the deadline for an assignment or an exam does not entitle you
a make up at a later time. In extraordinary cases and on a strict per case basis I may facilitate a make-up
opportunity. If you have an anticipated time conflict with any of the scheduled exams or required in-class
work, you must let me know by Monday, January 16th, 2012. For the University-wide academic deadlines
such as Drop/Add time or course withdrawal deadline, consult UGA academic calendar, which can be
accessed at http://bulletin.uga.edu/bulletin/univ/calendar.html
Disability Arrangements: If you qualify for course adaptations or special accommodations under the
Americans With Disabilities Act, please contact the Disability Resource Center and provide the appropriate
documentation well before exam accommodations are made. If you have already documented a disability
or other condition through the DRC, which would qualify you for special accommodations, or if you have
emergency medical information or special needs I should know about, please notify me in person on the
first day of class, January 9th. I am always available via email at sstojek@uga.edu or in person during
office appointments should any issues arise throughout the course.
Academic Honesty. As a University of Georgia student, you have agreed to abide by the University’s
academic honesty policy, A Culture of Honesty, and the Student Honor Code, found at:
http://www.uga.edu/honesty. All academic work must meet the standards described in A Culture of
Honesty. You will receive a failing grade for the class if you are found cheating on examinations, plagiarizing
the work of others, attempting to turn in assignments used in previous classes, along with all other possible
infractions noted in the University’s policy on academic dishonesty. Lack of knowledge of the academic
honesty policy is not a reasonable explanation for a violation.
University Attendance Policy: http://bulletin.uga.edu/bulletin/ind/attendance.html: Students are
expected to attend classes regularly. A student who incurs an excessive number of absences may be
withdrawn from a class at the discretion of the professor. You are entitled to three absences during this
semester. Any absence above this limit will count against your grade, unless you can provide iron clad
excuse such as doctor’s notice or documented family emergency.
COURSE EXPECTATIONS: CURRENT EVENTS
Current Events Briefs: During each class, two or three students will give short presentations about
news involving international institutions, especially in the context of particular topics in our readings
and class discussions. Thus, if we are perusing e↵ectiveness of IOs enforcement, reports on World Trade
Organizations dispute rulings are in order. If we are talking about security and/or institutional mandates,
news about UN or regional peacekeeping missions and their success/failures would be appropriate. This
class debriefing should not be longer than 5 minutes each, and news stories used should be emailed
to me with a short, one paragraph summary of your analytical take on the news story. This
email should be send at least one hour prior to the class time. Evaluation: Reports graded with an “A”
should use news items to contribute to the topics discussed or to be discussed in the class. Contrastingly,
reports simply providing a news story without contextualizing it within the class subject matter will be
graded with letter “C.” At the end of the semester, your cumulative contribution in this area will account
for 5% of your grade.
COURSE EXPECTATIONS: IO PRESENTATIONS
At some point during the semester each student will have to present a brief overview of a chosen inter-
4
national organization. There will be an online and in-class signup sheet with a list of organizations you
can choose and date on which you will be required to present. Depending on the number of students in
the class, the research and presentations might have to be done in groups of two or three. The presentation must be no longer than 7 minutes allowing 3 minutes for class questions. Students will be required
to turn in one page summary of the presentation no later than 8:00 am on the day of the presentation.
Evaluation: Presentations graded with an “A” should use multiple, official sources such as organizational
websites and news media, as well as incorporate theoretical perspectives covered in the first part of the
semester (weeks 1-4). Such presentation should provide a thorough assessment of the institution, including
its structure, membership, design and e↵ectiveness. Contrastingly, reports simply providing a description
of an organization, without contextualizing it within the theoretical perspectives and lacking organizational
assessment, will be graded with a letter “C.” This project will count for 10% of your final class grade.
COURSE EXPECTATIONS: EXTRA CREDIT
Extra Credit Opportunity: Data Collection and Coding Project. The purpose of this assignment
is to familiarize students with the type of quantitative research often done in the international relations.
This particular data collection e↵ort is a simplified version of research performed for an actual research
project by Stojek and Tir (under review International Studies Quarterly). Your task is to research (with
utmost attention) the UN Peacekeeping mission you chose to investigate. An online sign up form will be
kept up by me. You should go to the UN peacekeeping website, choose the mission that has not yet been
claimed by any of your classmates (per online sign up form), and email me with your choice. Missions are
per first come first serve basis.
You will work individually, trying to code basic information about the UN peacekeeping deployment such
as its purpose, strength, cost and success. To successfully complete this assignment you should:
• Peruse the UN-peacekeeping website (http://www.un.org/en/peacekeeping/), which contains pages
dedicated to all of its current and previous missions.
• Subsequently, you should find secondary sources from which to get more information about the crisis
which was targeted by the UN and UN mission itself (some sources are listed here).
• Based on the research, you will answer some questions about the crisis and UN mission, focusing
especially on objectives of the UN involvement, resources committed to the operation, and the success
of accomplishing stated mission objectives. The online form, which you will need to fill out can be
accessed by going to our course’s website at http://sstojek.myweb.uga.edu/intl4240.htm.
• Note: Some missions fall into multiple categories or in-between two options. Here, you are required
to make the best judgement and are encouraged to place your reasoning in the notes section of the
form.
• Finaly, make sure you keep your notes separate from the form, in case power-shortage, user error,
or that stupid computer decides to erase all of your inputs in the form. Trust me, keeping separate
notes will save you time.
This project can earn you an extra credit of up to 10% of your final grade. To achieve the highest score,
you will need to provide notes about your sources and the difficulty of finding particular information. In
other words, completion of the form is the goal, the more complete the better, but only if the sources are
5
legitimate. I encourage you to begin your work early in the semester, and as ever, come to my office hours
or contact me with any questions.
COURSE EXPECTATIONS: EXAMS
Midterms: There will be two (2) in-class midterm exams, each accounting for 20% of your final grade.
Final Exam: The final exam will cover the material covered over the entire semester. This cumulative
exam is scheduled for Wednesday, May 2dn from 8:00 to 11:00 am. This exam will count for 30% of your
grade.
