What are the differences between international governmental organizations (IGOs) and international non-governmental organizations (INGOs)? How do these organizations impinge on national sovereignty?

What will be an ideal response?

IGOs include such agencies as the United Nations (UN), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the European Union (EU). INGOs include organizations like Amnesty International, the International Red Cross, or Greenpeace. Some suggest that IGOs and INGOs are increasingly replacing states' political functions and binding states' hands to unaccountable international organizations, limiting their autonomy to control their own territory and people. However, although the traditional boundaries between domestic and international politics are weakening, one should not exaggerate globalization's political consequences. Evidence does not suggest that increased international cooperation means the end of state sovereignty, but merely that states must increasingly work with other states, IGOs, and INGOs to address political and economic challenges.
