Abstract

This research delves into the crucial role of international organizations (IOs) in the formation and implementation of global public policies, emphasizing their pivotal contributions to addressing transnational challenges. Through a synthesis analysis of scholarly literature, the study provides a comprehensive overview of IOs’ roles in global governance. Key findings underscore the importance of IOs, such as the United Nations (UN), World Trade Organization (WTO), and World Health Organization (WHO), in fostering international cooperation, establishing norms, and ensuring policy coherence to tackle issues like climate change, pandemics, and economic instability. The study reveals that while IOs are instrumental in creating a stable and equitable global framework, they face significant challenges, including balancing state sovereignty, securing sufficient funding, and navigating complex geopolitical landscapes. The findings highlight the necessity for strengthening IOs to enhance their effectiveness in promoting sustainable development and global stability. This research underscores the indispensable nature of IOs in facilitating multilateral cooperation and advancing comprehensive global policy solutions.
