QUESTION 2
Relationships between nations have historically been the centre of international
politics. However, since World War II's end, additional actors have emerged as key
players in the international arena, some formed by nations and others rising on their
own. Intergovernmental organisations (IGOs) are structures created by states to
enhance political cooperation and communication. They are organisations that impose
limits on its members' behaviour. Nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) are private-
sector groups formed to address or resolve issues that are outside the purview of
government. NGOs frequently attempt to influence, direct, or sustain government
policies. With the globalisation of the international economy, there has been a rise in
cross-border contact among a wide range of state and nonstate players. More
engagement and collaboration among governments, IGOs, and NGOs may benefit all
of them. In reality, governments are increasingly enlisting IGOs to coordinate some of
their cooperative efforts, provide funding, and perform administrative responsibilities;
IGOs, in turn, frequently delegate some of these functions to NGOs. Examples of
these joint initiatives may be seen often in the field of environmental protection.
According to A L Moagi (2015:12), Intergovernmental organisations (IGOs) are
international organisations that solely have states as members, with representatives
from member countries making decisions. They are supranational organisations in the
sense that nations give up some of their sovereignty in exchange for agreeing to abide
by whatever agreements they enter into by joining the organisation. Furthermore,
IGOs operate beyond boundaries and can have a significant influence on
governmental and transnational players within nations. As a result, IGOs can acquire
autonomous power bases and identities distinct from those of founding nations over
time. IGOs can be single-issue or multi-issue groups, and their reach can be regional
or worldwide. IGOs are entities that are intended to function outside the borders of the
states that create them. IGOs are typically organised by their membership and their
purpose. For example, the UN is called a global organisation because all countries are
allowed membership. IGOs are not a substitute for government since they do not rule.
They attempt to deal with and aid in the administration of complex interrelationships
and global economic, political, and social developments by encouraging collaboration
