Humanitarian political is a term that refers to an ideology that advocates a political standpoint based on a humanitarian perspective. The standpoint that come out of this ideology is constructed upon the conviction that every human being must have the right to freedom of speech freedom of press freedom of assembly freedom to information freedom to demonstrate freedom of establishing organisations and freedom of religion . The core of the humaniatarian political point of view is that these liberties are fundamental necessities in order for people to be able to influence political decisions and to shape their society and destiny. There are many humanitarian organisations all over the world that advocate these liberties and in their work strive for a world where they can be implemented. However none of them make any rigorous standpoints in the political arena as they concentrate their efforts on basic humanitarian issues. A humanitarian political organisation on the other hand does sufficient work in both fields and puts these together in order to make as big a difference as possible. Organisations The first organisation that introduced the concept of humanitarian policy was Initiative for democracy in Iran Initiative iran , a non profit organisation that was established in Stockholm Sweden in September 2006. Initiative Iran can thus be considered as the pioneers to hold a humanitarian political point of view as a foundation of an organisation.

He believed that integration, driven by national governments, was often based on the domestic political and economic issues of the day. The theory rejects the concept of the spill over effect that neofunctionalism proposes. He also rejects the idea that supranational organisations are on an equal level in terms of political influence as national governments. Intergovernmentalism a definition An approach to integration that treats states, and national governments in particular, as the primary actors in the integration process. Various intergovernmentalist approaches have been developed in the literature and these claim to be able to explain both periods of radical change in the European Union because of the converging governmental preferences and periods of inertia due to the diverging national interests . Intergovernmentalism is distinguishable from realism and neorealism because of its recognition of both the significance of institutionalisation in international politics and the impact of processes of domestic politics upon governmental preferences.
