    Supranationalism refers to voluntary cooperation between states that involves some loss of sovereignty. Supranational bodies like the EU, UN, and NATO exercise jurisdiction over multiple states. Modern supranationalism developed through voluntary agreements between states seeking security or economic benefits from cooperation. Intergovernmentalism is the weakest form, preserving each nation's independence through treaties and alliances. Leagues and confederations allow states to coordinate actions through founding charters but retain sovereignty, so majority decisions are nonbinding and progress relies on coinciding national interests.

    Supranationalism

    Scope of the Report


     Supranationalism
     Intergovernmentalism
     Federalism and Federations
     Prospects of World
    Government
    What is Supranationalism?
     It is a term given to an entity that is in a high
    level position that manages another countries or
    states.
    Is a voluntary association of three or more
    independent states willing to yield some measure of
    sovereignty for mutual benefits.
    The states or countries have to accept voluntary
    to be part of this supranationalism.
    Supranational Body
     Is one which exercises jurisdiction
    not over any single state but within an
    international area comprising several
    states.
    Examples: EU, UN, NATO & etc.
    Empire
    Empires are structure of political
    domination, comprising a diverse
    collection of cultures, ethnic groups,
    and nationalities, held together by
    force or threat of force.
    Modern Supranational Bodies
    Are develop by voluntary agreement
    among states either out of a recognition of
    the advantages which international
    cooperation will bring or in the hope of
    gaining security in the face of common
    threat or danger.
    Modern Supranational Bodies
    Supranational bodies serve to
    facilitate inter-governmental
    cooperation, allowing states to work
    together without sacrificing national
    independence.
    It is the weakest form of a supranational
    cooperation; it encompasses any form of state
    interaction which preserves the independence and
    sovereignty of each nation.

    Common form of intergovernmentalism is treaties


    and alliances, the simplest of which involve bilateral
    agreements between states.
    Alliances have more commonly been
    formed in a search for mutual security
    against perceived aggressor.
    Aftermath of Second World War
    NATO and Warsaw Pac
    Treaties are signed and Alliances are made in
    pursuit of national interest; states are
    therefore only likely to fulfill their obligations
    if they perceived that the treaty continues to
    reflect their interest, there being no
    institutional means of treaty enforcement.
    Weakness
    Central weakness of this form of
    supranationalism is that progress
    towards international cooperation is
    restricted to those area where mutual
    trust exist and where national interest
    coincides.
    Leagues or Confederations
    It compasses a collection of states which
    agree to abide by a founding treaty or
    charter, usually in hope of gaining strategic
    or economic advantages.
    ◦Ex. Achean and Aetolian Leagues in Greece
    ◦League of Nations.
    First great experiment in supranational
    government in 20th century.
    The league would replace the power politics
    of International rivalry, aggression, and
    expansion by a process of negotiations and
    arbitration which would make possible
    settlement of international disputes.
    League is incapable
    League found it difficult to take
    decisive action; decision from council
    had to receive unanimous vote and
    without a military force of its own to
    enforce its will.
    They rely only on economic sanctions.
    International confederations
    These have often been regional
    organization design to promote common
    political, social, and economic ends.
    Such organizations have had no distinct
    geographical character at all.
    Ex. OPEC
    Confederations are voluntary associations
    whose members continue to enjoy sovereign
    power.
    Offers nothing more than a forum of
    consultation, deliberation, and negotiations.
    They enable states to undertake coordinated
    action.
    Weakness
    As member states retain their independence,
    continue to retain control over defense and
    diplomacy and are very reluctant to be bound by
    majority decision.
    Such weakness have encourage some
    confederations to transform themselves into
    federal states, possess stronger central authority.
