What is or should be the role of international organizations in an age of globalization?

Why couldn't the UN? Not only did the UN not try to stop it, the UN authorized it!

Two come to mind.\n\n1.  Government service (State Department or CIA).  They need people who understand that part of the world.\n\n2.  Import/Export business.

The U.N. is largely dysfunctional, but it certainly serves a purpose.  We have had a number of successful, multinational military campaigns engaged through the U.N. to ensure peace and security in a number of countries.  The World Court I believe is successful (except for America's lack of participation at a certain level). The General Assembly is a forum for all countries to air out their grievances.\nI think that if the U.N. would be dissolved, what we'd see is more disaffection from small countries (especially Muslim countries) who would believe that the "major" powers would be then completely free to do anything.  In addition, without a collective international voice, the "emerging" superpowers of India, China, perhaps Pakistan, would feel less contstrained from using their large populations, economies, and weapons to become richer and "more respected" on the international stage, and may try to do something like invade a country or hold the EU or the US "for ransom," refusing to trade or threatening (indirect) military action.  So, I think it would make the world less stable, but not change a whole lot.

Globalization means integrating our economy with world economy.

The United Nations doesn't and will most likely never help the world.  It's a wasted organization that needs a lot less talk and a lot more action.

I would like to see the United Nations become an agency with more teeth to it. It seems that most of the time, they sit around and talk and then after a few months of "You really ought to not do this or that", they get around to discussing possible sanctions, and ask permission to go see what may be going on. They don't act with enough authority. It would appear that any court of any of it's members could do a faster job of resolving a problem. (Maybe not to every ones satisfaction.) Why does it take the U.N so long? They need to become a world court that you don't mess around with.

It's an important organization but relies too much on countries to act on their own (which doesn't happen)  Also, it doesn't make sense that so many Western countries have the right to veto resolutions but no country in Africa, the Middle East or South Asia can.

No one can deny that the 21st century is the century of globalization,the world is becoming more and more globalized but i think globalization and attachment to own indentity goes hand in hand,that is,you can't go on mingling if you think your gonna lose your identity,so the future belongs to ppl who will be able to mingle and at the same time remain their identity,it is not easy,but it is one of the things facing the upcoming generations,and we have to cope up with it and learn how to do this paradox just as we learn any other skill.

Globalization is the term used to describe the changes in societies and the world economy that result from dramatically increased international trade and cultural exchange. It describes the increase of trade and investing due to the falling of barriers and the interdependence of countries. In specifically economic contexts, the term refers almost exclusively to the effects of trade, particularly trade liberalization or "free trade" (however, see "meanings" below). More broadly, the term refers to the overall integration, and resulting increase in interdependence, among global actors (be they political, economic, or otherwise).\n\n \nA picture taken in Dubai International Airport, in the United Arab Emirates showing some of the characteristics of globalization. Here, the corporation McDonalds is marketing their "McArabia" meal, consisting of grilled kofta.From 1910 to 1950, a series of political and economic upheavals dramatically reduced the volume and importance of international trade. After World War II, international trade dramatically expanded, fostered by international economic institutions and rebuilding programs. From the 1970s, the effects of this trade became increasingly visible in terms of benefits and disruptive effects.\n\nIt is useful to distinguish economic, political, and cultural aspects of globalization, although all three aspects are closely intertwined. The other key aspect of globalization is changes in technology, particularly in transport and communications, which it is claimed are creating a global village

To borrow from President Clinton here, it depends on what the meaning of "globalization" is. I have seen a number of definitions, ranging from social-cultural to economic.  Usually "globalization" conjures up ideas of some sort of global inter-connectedness wherein previous barriers are no longer as salient, and the free flow of tangible and intangible goods serves to change the entire system- arguably for the better.  If we assume that we're talking about globalization on all fronts, such that we mean the free flow of all tangible and intangible goods, then at first glance we might be tempted to say that this is a good thing.  But I would rather ask another question. Rather than assuming that globalization is an end unto itself, I would rather pose the question in terms of how globalization might be used as a tool to accomplish a specific goal. For example, on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)- an often cited example of economic globalization in North America- we might ask how workers have fared in terms of their wages, rights, workplace safety.  Or, we might look at China's accession to the WTO and its consequences.  I personally do not believe that the answer to your question lies in "globalization" itself, but how it is used.  With any radical change, there are bound to be costs and benefits. But the costs and benefits arise largely because new opportunities are created. Those opportunities do not necessarily indicate a fixed directionality or path. Rather, it is how people use those opportunities to achieve certain results. Globalization is neither inherently "good" nor inherently "bad". It does not demean rights, or wages, or the safety of others, no more so than a car can cause a highway accident or a gun can kill a person.  It matters more how globalization is used as a tool to achieve specific ends.

Globalization affects the periphery countries very negatively. With things like structural adjustment programs forcing third world gov. to give up their soverignty there is very little a country can do to try and find there own sustainable way to grow their country. Since these countries are often exploited through investment and the labor practices of transnationals it shouldnt suprise anyone that discontent and instability is often a third world problem.
