International Organizations for Sustainable Development in the 21st Century
Through this course, students will gain exposure to the functioning and role of international organizations, such as the OECD and WHO, in the context of a rapidly changing global environment, and with a special emphasis on the promotion and realization of the SDGs.
The ongoing, planetary transition to sustainability, reconciling economic growth, social well-being, and environmental protection, requires innovative action policies on a global scale. International organizations fulfill important roles in such framework, from mediating between countries to spurring collective action, from collecting data to advancing concrete policy proposals. On a more general level, these activities also translate into consciously addressing the numerous challenges emerging from an increasingly interconnected and multi-polar international system.
The United Nations Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development comprises some of the most pressing objectives for developed and developing nations. After a global collective process has led to the selection of 17 goals (SDGs), encompassing 169 indicators, states and other actors at different levels are being mobilized, and numerous initiatives have already started.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is at the forefront in the realization of the Agenda 2030. From its own unique membership and broad policy expertise, the OECD has been deploying its resources as a pivotal institution for the promotion of sustainable development, to which it has a strong institutional commitment.
In this course, we will first analyze in depth the structure and functioning of international organizations such as OECD and understand how they contribute to global efforts for sustainable development. Students will experience this firsthand through the lectures and interactions with officials from the OECD and other international organizations like the WHO.
Throughout the course, students will prepare a short policy proposal based on the contents explained and their interest. Students are also expected to prepare short reports before each class as preparation for it.
This course will be of special interest for students interested in a career in international organizations and development. Whilst the course is focused on the OECD, it is designed to provide a broad understanding of the skills required to work in international organizations. Additional sessions on career advice in that sector will be held.

履修上の注意
Throughout the course, students will prepare a policy brief of a topic of their interest. This will be connected to an OECD unit or department in a topic of sustainable development. Students will first analyze the problem, finding a relevant “descriptive figure”. Findings should be directed either to (a) recommendation for OECD work, or (b) recommendation of implementation of OECD work. Depending on number of students, final presentation will be in group. Policy brief will be individual.
