This essential book provides conceptual explorations of what to cover when teaching international organizations (IOs), and the best practices for teaching about them. Together with a group of expert contributors, Kent J. Kille addresses key topics, debates, frameworks, perspectives and a range of instructional approaches to incorporate when teaching in the field.

Navigating a wide range of organizations, the book discusses the United Nations (UN), international financial institutions, regional organizations in Europe and the Americas, and non-governmental organizations. Diverse in scope, chapters highlight the distinction between teaching IOs and global governance, and examine teaching IOs through varied theoretical perspectives as well as gender and LGBTIQ+ lenses. The book also details how to teach such material, covering areas such as active teaching and learning, experiential learning, inclusivity, and assessment as well as practical guidance for employing techniques like simulations, Model UN, and summer programs.

With practical insights on how to design engaging course content, this book is invaluable to instructors of courses on IOs, as well as those seeking insights for teaching about IOs as a component in broader international relations and political science courses.
