In this course students will deepen their knowledge on international organizations (IOs) and gain practical experience in applying digital research methods.
As a foundation for the practical part of the course, we will start by discussing specific elements related to the structure and governance of IOs. Topics that will be addressed include: the role of the UN Secretary-General and executive heads of IOs; the funding of IOs; the role of treaty secretariats; and cooperation between IOs and non-governmental organizations.
The second course block will address the specificities of digital research. We will discuss literature on issues such as digital diplomacy and organizational branding. Students will then be introduced to a number of research tools during hands on exercises, for example focussing on the analysis of organizational websites and social media data.
Through this research-based learning, students will develop their analytical and presentation skills.
