==History==
 
While treaties, [[alliance]]s, and [[Multilateralism|multilateral]] conferences had existed for centuries, IGOs only began to be established in the 19th century. Among the first were the [[Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine]], initiated in the aftermath of the [[Napoleonic Wars]], and the future [[International Telecommunication Union|International Telegraph Union]], which was founded by the signing of the International Telegraph Convention by 20 countries in May 1865. Of notable significance was the emergence of the League of Nations following World War One, designed as an institution to foster collective security in order to sustain peace.
 
 
 
==Expansion and growth of IGOs==
 
There currently are more than 250 IGOs worldwide, and this number continues to rise.  This increase may be attributed to globalization, which increases and encourages the cooperation among and within states. Globalization has also provided easier means for IGO growth, as a result of increased international relations.  This is seen economically, politically, militarily, as well as on the domestic level.  Economically, IGOs gain material and non-material resources for economic prosperity. IGOs also provide more political stability within the state and among differing states.  Military alliances are also formed by establishing common standards in order to ensure security of the members to ward off outside threats.  Lastly, the formation has encouraged autocratic states to develop into democracies in order to form an effective and internal government.<ref>Shannon, Megan.  "The Expansion of International Organizations" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, Hilton Chicago and the Palmer House Hilton, Chicago, IL, Sep 02, 2004 <Not Available>. 2009-05-26 [http://www.allacademic.com]</ref>/meta/p59961_index.html>
 
 
 
==Participation and involvement in IGOs==
 
 
 
There are several different reasons a state may choose membership in an intergovernmental organization. But there are also reasons membership may be rejected. These reasons are explored in the sections below.
 
 
 
'''Reasons for participation'''
 
 
 
1) Economic rewards: In the case of the [[North American Free Trade Agreement]] (NAFTA), many different countries receive economic benefits from membership in the free trade agreement. For example, Mexican companies are given better access to [[U.S.]] markets due to their membership.
 
 
 
2) Political influence: Smaller countries, such as [[Portugal]] and the [[Netherlands]], who do not carry much political clout on the international stage, are given a substantial increase in influence through membership in IGOs, such as the [[European Union]]. Also for countries with more influence such as [[France]] and [[Germany]] they are beneficial as the nation increases influence in the smaller countries' internal affairs and expanding other nations dependence on themselves, so to preserve allegiance
 
 
 
3) Security: Membership in an IGO such as [[NATO]] gives security benefits to member countries. This provides an arena where political differences can be resolved.
 
 
 
4) Improve democracy and the likelihood of democratic survival: It has been noted that member countries experience a greater degree of democracy and those democracies survive longer.
 
 
'''Reasons for rejecting membership'''
 
 
 
1) Loss of [[sovereignty]]: Membership often comes with a loss of state sovereignty as treaties are signed which require cooperation on the part of all member states.
 
 
 
2) Insufficient benefits: Often membership does not bring about substantial enough benefits to warrant membership in the organization.
 
 
 
==Impact of IGOs on world politics==
 
The Impact of IGOs on world politics depends on the organization and its global influence.
 
 
 
==Strengths and weaknesses of IGOs==
 
These are some of the strengths and weaknesses of IGOs:
 
 
 
Strengths:
 
#They hold state authority.
 
#Their institutions are permanent.
 
#They provide a forum for discussion.
 
#They are issue specific. <ref>Kegley, Charles W. World Politics Trend and Transformation. Belmont: Wadsworth, 2008. Print.</ref>
 
#They provide information.
 
#They allow multilateral cooperation.<ref>www.beyondintractability.org/essay/role_igo</ref>
 
 
 
Weaknesses:
 
#Membership is limited. Prohibits the membership of private citizens. This makes IGOs undemocratic. In addition, not all IGOs allow universal membership.
 
#IGOs often overlap resulting in a complex network.
 
#States have to give up part of their sovereignty, which weakens the state's ability to assert its authority.
 
#Inequality among state members creates biases and can lead powerful states to misuse these organizations. <ref>Kegley, Charles W. World Politics Trend and Transformation. Belmont: Wadsworth, 2008. Print.</ref>

Revisión actual del 12:12 29 may 2010

Una organización intergubernamental, aveces reconocida como un organismo internacional es una organización incluyendo a estados soberanos, o estados miembros. Las organizaciones intergubernamentales también se reconocen como tipos de organización internacional, aunque ese termino también incluye a las organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONG) internacionales, e incluso corporaciones multinacionales.

Las organizaciones intergubernamentales son un aspecto importante del derecho público internacional. Estas organizaciones se establecen a través de un tratado que actúe como una carta creando el grupo. Los tratados están formados cuando los representantes legales de los gobiernos de varios estados entran un proceso de ratificación, creando una personería jurídica al grupo.

Las organizaciones intergubernamentales, en un sentido legal, deben ser distinguidos de grupos de estados simples, tales como el G-24. Estos grupos o asociaciones no fueron fundados a través de un documento constituyente y existen como grupos de trabajo.

Las organizaciones intergubernamentales también deben ser distinguidos de los tratados en sí. Varios tratados como los Acuerdos de Comercio, anterior a la Organización Mundial de Comercio no establecen una organización y en lugar de esto dependen en las partes para su administración antes de ser legalmente reconocidas como una comisión ad hoc. Otros tratados establecen un aparato administrativo que no da una personería jurídica legal internacional.

Tipos y propósitos

Las organizaciones intergubernamentales tienen funciones, membrecía y criterios de membrecía diferentes. Tienen varios objetivos y alcances, tipicamente delineados en un tratado o carta. Algunos responden a una necesidad para un foro netural de debate o negociación para resolver disputas. Otras funcionan a favor de intereses mutuas de una manera unificada.

Entre posibles objetivos en comun son preservar la paz a través de resolución de conflictos y mejores relaciones internacionales, promocionan la cooperación internacional en temas tales como protección medioambiental, la promoción de los derechos humanos, la promoción de cambio social, la ayuda humanitaria y el desarrollo económico.
