It also fosters relationships between the UN and other entities, contributing to global social and economic development.

Transcripts
hello everyone and welcome back to your
the Contemporary World subject be still
your professor Mr kipant and a ramas and
pretty session we'll be talking about
the global interstate system and the
Contemporary governance
okay so the learning objectives for this
session will be after the lesson you're
expected to explain the effects of
globalization and governance identify
and give details on the roles of the
institutions that govern international
relations rationalize the challenges of
global governance in the 21st century
primarily possible solutions to the
problems in the structure and dynamics
of the United Nations substantiate the
relevance of the state and globalization
and of course articulate the personal
stance on global University system and
understand its impact to the Philippines
yeah
okay as we go along this session it is
important for us to Define what our
nation states so that we will be able to
know
United Nations
okay so first let's Define mission state
so according to Ruder in 2007 emission
state is a system of organization in
which people with a common identity live
inside the country with firm borders and
a single government always remember that
if we're talking about the initial State
the two fundamental parts of it will be
the state and nation and I'm quite sure
as you watch this video you already have
a background about the difference
between State and Nation as discussed no
in your understanding culture society
and politics during your senior high
school dates but let's go ahead and have
a review on the difference between the
two so let's talk about affairs with the
steps so State these are all the rules
and lost in the government officials and
their titles the physical boundaries and
those who Define them passes those
things okay so it's also important to
remember that if you're talking about
State there are four elements of it so
that would be people's territory
government and sovereignty so now uh
let's go ahead and take a look also into
this element so if we're talking about
people these are the inhabitants of your
country
they are occupying those species
[Music]
so that they will also be able to manage
their Affairs and also their daily lives
so remember that of all the four
elements the most important element is
the people why because they are the ones
who will maintain your operations
so without the people of course the
other elements will not be able to to
function well okay so again that's
people and there's also been said that
these people are more or less known
middle so uh when you see more or less
numeral scale and those sufficient
enough that they will be able to sustain
the operations that I'm talking about
canina okay so that's your people next
will be the territory territory will be
ease of land water or even in the air in
which
rules and regulations and even their
Authority so simply put they have
sovereignty and jurisdiction within
these areas okay third will be your
government the government is the agent
the state
[Music]
Filipinas
the government is expected that they
will be embodying the ideas and
aspirations of its people okay that's
why there will be rules and regulations
that are to be implemented by this
institution okay so that's their
government next will be your sovereignty
so sovereignty on the other hand talks
about your Authority no and this can
actually be discussed into two forms so
you wanna form the idea internal
sovereignty in which the people or those
who are part of each take a certain
state will be able to manage their
internal affairs
on the other hand if we're talking about
the external external sovereignty this
pertains to the freedom from external
control
commonly it's also a part of the
external sovereignty and Tata with my
International recognition
indeed and that is your speed also
remember that if we're talking about
state state is the legal or legal or
political Affairs of a country okay
Disney also another pertain to such
situations where it involves assume laws
and authority
and since we're talking about legalities
here it is important that the four
elements namely people territory
government and sovereignty are present
so that you will be able to tag a
certain country assisted okay on the
other hand if you're talking about your
nation nation is our emission is being
bind or Bound by Common Traditions
customs and even ethnicities
[Music]
and that is
a nation speed so a quick trivia the
most the smallest state in the world is
called as the Vatican okay which is
being headed by their head of government
and head of state which is the pope of
the Catholic Church as of the moment
that is spoken access okay so uh there
no if you will if you will search about
the Vatican uh surprisingly
so
that is years
so if we continue no uh since
Collective efforts so that we will be
able to maintain Anonymous
for our I don't know for our country and
that's the reason
such concept which we call as the global
governance because as of the moment
Global government no so with that being
said in global governance in the Galaxy
simply because
and with that if we're talking about
global governance this is being defined
as informal and informal Arrangement
that will produce a degree of order and
Collective action above the state in the
absence of a global government so simply
put if we're talking about global
governance we are talking about the
agreements of this different countries
and thank God everyone you know if uh it
will be done we will be using the
definition of upward and recent 2015.
you can notice that uh Global governance
involve coordination law among State and
non-state platforms
[Music]
so that will be
partner of course
[Music]
of course there will be there there will
be specs
[Music]
is what we call as the United Nations so
United Nations has four basic purposes
number one is to keep peace so that is
foreign
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
where Nations work together so that we
will be able to achieve those goals okay
so if we will be looking to the
structure of United Nations so these are
the following the general assembly the
economic and social Council the
international court of justice the
translation Council the security Council
and the Secretariat so take note that uh
starting in 1994 young transaction
Council I actually I understand now so
before
is uh
[Music]
[Music]
so let's go ahead and take a look into
these different programs now let's
discuss your general assembly so that's
been said that it considers and approved
the United Nations budget and setting
membership Financial assessments
United Nations okay so they are also
responsible for electing non-permanent
members of the security council members
of other U and Council as well as
appointing the Secretary General with of
course the recommendation of the
security Council and in terms of
recommendations most especially in
Illinois International cooperation so
that we will be able to maintain our
peace and security and even order
recommendations for foreign
[Music]
if we are dealing with International
Peace and security and of course making
recommendations unless the spirit
council is already discussing the issue
also part of it as well as comparing on
any issue that is within the scope of
United Nations Charter and make more
recommendations
they are also responsible for conducting
studies and making recommendations
related to issues of international law
human rights and international
cooperation relating to economic social
unitary and cultural and even
educational and health Fields they also
provide another recommendation so that
my eyes
of course they will be deliberating on
reports submitted by the other United
Nations yeah okay so the general
assembly did nothing in part no number
provided foreign
for different numbers okay so another
organ will be the economic and social
Council so if we're talking about the
economic and social Council this focuses
on economic social and environmental
issues and this engages in the
coordination and policy review as well
as recommendations on the issues that
has been mentioned above and also again
relationships
will fall under our economic and social
Council so it is
okay so let's continue with icg or the
international court of justice so take
note that International court of justice
or the ICT is the judicial organ of the
United Nations
United States of America and also the
court settles disputes between members
so take note everyone
of course
you are correct
however no um
have economic sanctions coming from
different animals from different states
and
[Music]
so that's your icg of course we have the
security Council so they are in charge
of maintaining International Peace and
security and they are also the ones who
recommend the appointment of the
Secretary General and possible
United Nations
so that they will be able to maintain
so that is your Security Council and
lastly the Secretariat which manages the
day-to-day operation the United Nations
and take note they are providing
services
[Music]
and that is the end of our discussion
about the global interstate system and
contemporary governance and let me just
also grab the opportunity to thank
everyone for attending our session and
we hope to see you all on our succeeding
ones again this is your professor Mr
capantini Ramos and we'll see each other
