International Organization
Is the history and function of IOs better captured by realist or institutionalist logic?
In the course we have looked at several theoretically-informed mechanisms of how IOs work, the history of their formation, their institutional design, and their empirical records. Utilizing those ideas and empirics, make a case for a realist or institutionalist (liberal and/or constructivist) interpretation of the role of IOs in attempting to provide international order.
You will likely find elements of both in your analysis and should honestly assess those elements. I am not looking for everything to conform to only one approach. But, looking across three institutions and their empirical records you almost assuredly will find the logic of one approach is more prevalent than the other.
