Summary:

This case study explores the complex dynamics and operational mechanisms of the International Whaling Commission (IWC), a supranational organization that serves as a platform for multilateral negotiations among nations. By examining the changing roles of the IWC over the last 7 years, from being a regulator of the whaling industry to becoming an entity committed to ending whaling, the case study highlights the challenges of multilateral governance, ideological differences, and the influence of economic and cultural powers. The case study also serves as an opportunity for reflection for students, inviting them to question current governance structures and propose ideas to redefine such organizations in response to the current realities of international trade. Finally, the case underscores the importance of diplomacy, the balance of power, and the need for a level playing field within the context of international organizations.
