Aim: to what extent have
Supranationalistic
organizations had an
impact on the world?
Identify and Define
Unitary States
However… United Kingdom
Federations
UAE?
Canada!?
Sudan and
Venezuela ; yeah
right!
Confederations
Canada
EU
formerly
the EEC etc.
UAE?
Switzerland
… I guess.
Supranationlism
EU
i.e.:
European
Union
Why are
these
“nonEuropean”
parts of
the world
technically
members
of the EU?
Candidate countries
Warsaw
Pact
&
NATO
(North Atlantic
Treaty
Organization)
The
Warsaw
Pact
military
alliance
collapsed
after the
fall of the
USSR.
BTW, you can tell who runs countries located along the
Sahel? Pan-Arabism hasn’t really succeeded.
BTW
Promoted by Nasser of
Egypt. Didn’t last long.
Complete Anarchy
Somalia
Various Frontiers
NAFTA
Originally thought to
compete with the
supranationalism of the EU
but quickly devolved into a so
so quasi economic association
once American politicians
realized they’d have to raise
taxes in the USA to pay for
improvements in Mexico.
North American Free Trade Agreement
OPEC
More of an economic association
/ cartel than a Supranationalist
organization.
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries
OAU
Organization
of African
Unity
Division between
North Africa (Arabs)
and Sub-Saharan
Africa (Black Africans)
has proven to be the
main stumbling block.
Kwame Nkrumah’s
dream of a PanAfrican “United
States of Africa” aint
going to happen.
