Question

how are regional intergovernmental organizations (igos) different from organizations like the united nations?
a. they are more restrictive about which countries may become members.
b. they are more likely to use military force to achieve members objectives.
c. they are completely independent from member states political leaders.
d. they are able to pass laws that must be obeyed in all member states.

Explanation:

Regional intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) often have specific membership criteria based on geographical or other regional factors. For example, the African Union is for African countries. The United Nations is a global organization open to all sovereign states meeting its criteria. Option B is incorrect as regional IGOs are not more likely to use military force (the UN has peace - keeping operations). Option C is wrong because IGOs are influenced by member states' political leaders. Option D is incorrect as regional IGOs usually do not have the power to pass laws that must be obeyed in all member states in the same way as described.

Answer:

A. They are more restrictive about which countries may become members.
