Structures and Functions of Global and Regional Bodies examines the organizational frameworks and responsibilities of international and regional institutions that promote cooperation, development, peace, and stability among nations. Global bodies, such as the United Nations and its specialized agencies, operate on an international scale to address worldwide issues including security, human rights, health, and sustainable development. Regional bodies, such as the African Union, European Union, and ECOWAS, focus on fostering economic integration, political cooperation, conflict resolution, and social development within specific geographic regions. Understanding the structures and functions of these organizations helps learners appreciate their roles in shaping international relations, supporting development initiatives, and addressing shared global and regional challenges.
