The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development

United States grouped with some European nations to form OEEC(Organisation for European Economic Cooperation)which was done to provide means under the Marshall Plan to reform Europe after the second world war. This organisation preceded OECD which took over the former in 1961.OECD was formed with the purpose of setting up strong economies in its member nations ,bring about improvement in efficiency, expansion of free trade etc.The initial 30 some countries decided to expand their network beyond a transatlantic organisation to a global group of nations who would concentrate in bringing about development in the emerging economies and work towards free market systems. This has allowed the organisation to move their focus to bigger issues which

On June 5, 1947 George Marshall made a speech at Harvard University which initiated the post-war European Aid program, also known as the Marshall program. Marshall’s request was for an agreement to be made among the countries of Europe, which led to the creation of the Organization for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC). It was mandated that the OEEC would work on a joint recovers program and also that aid would be supervised. For this plan, Marshall was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953.

Different organizations are formed worldwide but it is mostly their mandates that categorically define the role they play. Among the most recognized, organizations that follow under the control of United Nations get an upper hand and it’s particularly made possible by the powers and control these organizations possess. This article attempts to compare and contrast the United Nations Security Council with the World Bank drawing conclusions from their mandate, style of functioning, governance and organizational culture among the key elements considered. Although they have an international outlook, there are various features within the organizations that depict them as different while others reveal elements that they share and value in common.

EEC (1958) was the European Economic Community, originally consisting of France, (then West) Germany, Italy, and the Benelux nations (Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg).

To celebrate United Nations Day, which falls on October 24 every year, the Seton Hall University chapter of the United Nations Association-USA (UNA-SHU) helped students contribute to the work of the United Nations with the United in Solidarity Refugee Dinner. Held on October 26, the dinner raised funds for agencies that provide aid to refugees. The UNA-USA chapter invited representatives of the United Nations Foundation, Jewish Vocational Services, and Global Emergency Response and Assistance, all of which work to resettle refugees in the New Jersey area.

(2) European nations began to form economic organizations (e.g. OEEC, EFTA, EEC) to promote economic co-operation & growth.

International organization in international relations such as United Nation, The World Bank, The International Monetary Fund, and World Trade Organization are a group of people that help contribute to the world by preventing poverty, promote trade and maintain world peace. Many countries come together to cooperate with each other to help bettering nations. Cooperation with other countries is required in order for these type of organization to function or else it would be a disaster.

The European Economic Community was an organization started in 1957 by France, West Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, and Luxembourg, in post War World II torn European. This organization was a union between the Steal and Coal Community and The European Atomic Energy Community. The goal of the organization, heavily influenced by John Monnet one of its founders and National Liberation Committee member at the time, was to build a stronger cohesive Europe through collaboration and economic ties to bring mutual prosperity. This organization and its ideals developed into the well know European Union of today, that currently sits with 28 members. However, one controversial possible membership has increased in importance over the years.

First with western Europe, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, with the east as well. Many of these attempts were successful. One of the first of these attempts was the Marshall Plan which was used as an instrument to restore the economies of western Europe and to establish democracies. The plan would provide economic aid to fight the post war affects of poverty and in return expected cooperation for mutual benefit. The plan strengthened western Europe not as allies with each other and not against anyone. Another internal cooperation efforts was the formation of the European Economic Community(or Common Market) in 1957. The six original members were very successful and managed to eliminate all tariffs within their countries. After seeing this success, other nations applied for membership and EEC became what is presently know as the European Union. The European Union has been very successful in its endeavors to mutually help the member economies. One of these successful endeavours was the implementation of a common currency. As of 2002, seventeen countries now share the euro as their currency. This unifies where language and culture are barriers but money is not. Another major success in unification was the addition of ten members of the European union in 2004. Most of these additions were former Soviet bloc countries who had just a little over a decade free from Soviet influence. While this was a

From the late 1990s, international organisations such as United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and USAID were key agents on the public health track. Through partnerships with national government and women’s NGOs, these organizations provided services for married adolescents through UN-FPA’s National Country Strategies and through innovative USAID Nigeria wide projects, such as AWARE I-RH (2003–8) and AWARE II-RH (2009–11) (Walker, 2013). International organisations such as UNFPA, ActionAid International, Grand Challenges Canada, the Institute of International Education, World Learning, USAID Nigeria, UNICEF, UNESO, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, Family Health International, the World Bank, the Ford Foundation,

was the only country in the world that formed legislation forbidding foreign bribery practices. Although the FCPA was ideally important, it was significantly ineffective until the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) was formed in 1997. The OECD is an international economic organization where “the governments of 34 democracies including the U.S., Germany and Korea, with market economies work with each other, as well as with more than 70 non-member economies to promote economic growth, prosperity, and sustainable development. The Organization provides a setting where governments can compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and coordinate domestic and international policies.”

An increase in technology as well as rising globalization has brought the world closer together in a way, and this has created a need for states to become more interdependent of one another. For example, an economic decline in China could have negative impact on the economy of North American countries. In the same way, a communist revolution in one country could result in communist revolutions in neighboring countries as well. The point is that since countries are now so closely connected to one another, international organizations are needed in order to maintain rules and

The OAU aims to promote the unity and solidarity of African States; co-ordinate and intensify their co-operation and efforts to achieve a better life for the peoples of Africa; defend their sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence; eradicate all forms of colonialism from Africa; promote international co-operation, giving due regard to the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; and co-ordinate and harmonise

The United Nations, as the world’s largest intergovernmental organization, enables the cooperation of member states on a broad range of issues. This co-ordination makes it animportant player in the economic, political and security status of the world. Its presence in an Encyclopedia is thus indisputable. If I wrote an article on the United Nations, I would break it down to its membership, structure, role, funding, history, challenges and achievements. I would place photographs of leaders of member states in meetings, its headquarters and pictures of projects being undertaken by the body. Potentially controversial parts may be those dealing with membership, voting and funding. Membership would stir controversy since some areas that claim autonomy like Taiwan and Palestine face opposition from China and Israel respectively. Voting may be controversial because the Security Council appears to hold sway even on matters that are within the jurisdiction of the General Assembly. Funding may stir controversy since the UN would seem as though it were held under the whims of its enormous funders. I would visit the UN website plus read through media articles relating to the UN. I would also check their books of account to verify their funding.

In relation to this, it is important to recognize that intergovernmental organizations (IGO 's) as OECD, World Bank and Unesco (among others), have a deep impact on national policies. The development of annual comparative indicators have impacted heavily on the definition about what a "good result" is, in terms of governments and institutions. In this regard, the OECD has been a strong advocate on the establishment of policies of quality and practices. One example is the publication of reports series "quality in higher education" that every 4 years establish a diagnosis of the situation at each country and suggestions regarding the expected changes.
