World Peace - Global Governance

World Peace:




  1. Does the concept of "world peace" conflict with the 

interests of powerful states?


Debate whether the pursuit of global peace by organizations 

like the UN is realistic given the conflicting interests of major 

powers.


  1. Can world peace be achieved through international 

cooperation, or is conflict inevitable due to national 

interests?


Examine the idea that international cooperation might be 

insufficient in a world dominated by the pursuit of national 

self-interest and power.


Global Governance and Power Dynamics:


1. Do international organizations undermine the sovereignty 

of individual states?


Debate whether global governance structures like the UN, 

WTO, or IMF overreach and erode state sovereignty.


2. Is peacekeeping by international organizations like the UN 

more effective than military interventions by individual nations?


Argue the effectiveness of UN-led peacekeeping missions 

versus unilateral military interventions by powerful states.


  1. Should the global South have more influence in 

international organizations?


Explore whether the current global governance system is 

unfairly dominated by Western nations and how it could be more 

inclusive.
