david mitrany
David Mitrany was a Romanian-British political scientist known for his contributions to the study of International Relations. Here are three main postulates of David Mitrany:

  1. The Functional Approach to Integration: Mitrany is best known for his functional approach to integration. He argued that international cooperation can be established by functional differentiation, where specialized international agencies are created to solve specific problems, rather than by political integration.

  2. The "Spillover" thesis: Mitrany's "spillover" thesis argues that international cooperation on functional issues can create a "spillover" effect, leading to increased cooperation and eventual political integration.

  3. The "Working Through International Agencies" thesis: Mitrany's "Working Through International Agencies" thesis argues that international cooperation can be achieved by "working through international agencies." This means that international organizations can act as intermediaries between nation-states and provide a platform for cooperation.

Three relevant illustrations of David Mitrany's work in IR include:

  1. The European Union: The EU is often seen as a prime example of Mitrany's functional approach to integration. The EU's development from a regional trade organization to a full-fledged political union can be seen as a demonstration of the "spillover" effect that Mitrany identified.

  2. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO): The ICAO is an example of an international agency that was created to perform specific functions related to civil aviation. This organization is seen as an illustration of Mitrany's ideas about functional differentiation and the creation of specialized international agencies.

  3. The United Nations: The UN provides an example of Mitrany's "Working Through International Agencies" thesis. The UN provides a platform for international cooperation, acting as an intermediary between nation-states, and allowing countries to work together to address global problems.
