Global Governance

Just wanted to share picture of the United Nation’s organization if you’re interested in taking a look: http://www.un.org/en/aboutun/structure/pdfs/un-system-chart-color-sm.pdf

I wanted to copy and paste it, but it's a PDF file, so you'll have to click the link.

The structure and organization of the UN is very detailed and complicated, which is impressive. I imagine such division amongst the organization allows its members and employees to be trained, specialized, and focused on executing their specific duties. However, upon research, I also discovered that there is skepticism and criticism over such organization. In fact, the UN is accused of being an ineffective bureaucracy. While this complicated structure lends organization, it also limits the responsibilities and power of individuals due to its ranked tiers, and this can further lead to the abuse of power.   

I do think global governance is important to the continuous development of our world, especially since the population is increasing and our lives are becoming more interconnected. Because issues are also becoming more large-scale and individual governments cannot manage such issues individually, the foundation of international organizations that promote peaceful and amiable relations as well as benevolent, humanitarian interests proves to be beneficial. Perhaps these organizations should consider what size and structure they will operate upon to avoid a wasteful, bureaucratic system though.
