Inhalte:
Increasing international cooperation also entails increasing governance at the global level. To facilitate cooperation in world politics, international institutions are essential because they provide order and meaning. This seminar is intended to introduce the main theoretical debates in international relations (IR) on international regimes and regime complexes, international organizations, and international norms. We will compare what kind of answers major IR theories, like realism, institutionalism, and constructivism - but also critical and feminist approaches - offer on fundamental questions of the emergence, shape, and consequences of international institutions: for example, why do sovereign nation states delegate authority to international institutions? How do international regimes like the Climate regime facilitate compliance? When do states leave international organizations? What explains the diffusion of international norms, such as gender equality and sustainable development? Why are so many international institutions increasingly contested, and when are institutions considered legitimate actors in global governance?
The course will make use of group work, empirical case analysis, as well as in-class discussions and (guest) lectures.
Lernziele:
At the end of this seminar, students should be able to give nuanced assessments of differing theoretical approaches in relation to their research goals and application to IR.
To apply their knowledge, students will develop a research design during the course of the seminar to identify and answer a relevant question pertaining to global governance. The final grade will be determined based on an individual term paper.

Modulbeschreibung:
The module provides an understanding of the basic elements of global governance. Global governance is characterized by two central lines of conflict, the tension between the role of the nation states and the importance of global contexts on the one hand, and the tension between losers and winners of globalisation on the other.
The complexity and intransparency of global governance result from the fact that there is no overarching system of world politics that could make collectively binding decisions. This forces the functional world systems (e.g. world financial system or world trade system) to build up their own forms, mechanisms and institutions of self-organisation and self-governance. The analysis of current and emerging global governance regimes and actors is the core content of this module.
