International organisations seem to be in decline. Brexit and the ongoing migration and Euro crises have shattered the European Union. Keystone organisations of the post-Second World War international order – such as the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund – are increasingly ridden by conflicts between established and rising powers. And the election of Donald Trump seems to herald the United States’ departure from its long-standing support for institutionalised international cooperation. However, a recent large-scale study of 76 international organisations reveals that their authority has actually grown significantly over the past decades in a broad range of policy fields. Our upcoming GIGA Talk Berlin will present the findings of this research and discuss how international organisations can respond to contestation and nationalist pressures.

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
