On this blog I’ve decided to talk about international organizations. I was going to talk about international finance and trade but seeing how I failed Micro-ECON once and barely passed the second time I took it, I rather not ridicule myself, again.

            We started to talk about embedded liberalism, which is a term that pretty much allows states to partake on free trade. Embedded liberalism got created right after World War II. It gave freedom for states to trade freely in order for them to better their economy. The deal was not implicit; it also helped regulate the states unemployment and it served to stabilized the economy.             Embedded liberalism had two main goals; to bring back free trade because, right after World War I, nobody really traded and the Great Depression of 1930, also took a toll on free trade. The second goal was to help national government out, with allowing them create more programs to help their unemployment’s situation. This idea was liberal because, it allowed stated creating an open system of trade of good and services, with a bit of fixed exchanges rates. Embedded liberalism, also reminds us that many of the losers of trade, bring stability to the trading world, it also brings to light how states can trade goods for protection.

            As Prof. Shirk said “Organizations are Sets of rules known and shared by a community that structure political interactions in specific ways” a couple of examples of international organizations are; United Nations, World Bank, and the World Trade Organization. Each of these organization help making cooperation between nations more easily for example; they can provide information, they can also increase the probability of states to commit, and they also set rule and boundaries, for every nation to follow.

            The United Nations for instance is a general assembly for nations they get together once a year for ta period of two weeks. In which each nation at a time, can address other nations and each nation can share their issues. All the matters of importance need a 2/3 vote whether it is; intergrading a new country into the UN, expulsing a nation out of the UN, budget and things of that sort. There is also the chief of diplomacy, which is like the president of the world, sort of, the UN secretariat; is like the bureaucracy of the UN. There is also a branch within the UN that is in charge of security; the UN Security Council; it deals with keeping peace, interventions and sanctions. Here is my issue; if there is a whole Council of Security, how come they don’t pay attention or tend to ignore what is going on in countries like Ukraine and Russia..? or Venezuela? Or in the Middle East crisis? Why can’t they enforce their power there?

            There is also the World Bank & IMF: International Monetary Fund, which is pretty much set up to lend loans to poor countries whose economy can’t keep up with the US’s economy and the dollar value. It need more than 83% votes to make an issue valid and the only country that has the veto is the US. While the World Bank, is dedicated to solving poverty; where are they solving poverty? I think they are solving poverty in Mars, or Mercury because; countries are just as poor or worse than they were before. Apparently, the World Bank is also in charge of helping dissolve the issues of gender equality, climate mitigations, and educations, HIV/AIDS…? Again, where is this happening, on outer space..? With issues like Ebola you would think that the World Bank at least would find the vaccine, but no. I don’t know what they are doing,

Meanwhile the World Trade Organization is in charge of making sure there are not disrespectful tings going on between states who trde with each other.

            Here is my issues, are these organizations just wasting time and space..? are they really helping..? if so, where?
