The Organization of Islamic Conference.
OIC is an international organization founded in 1969. The organization is committed to a peaceful existence, the adoption of Islam by the international community, as well as trying to act a mediator in international conflicts.
Type of actor
Having analyzed the various types of actors I have come to the conclusion that the Organization of the Islamic Conference is absolutely pronounced global actors from the sector of international organizations.
The OIC is a peaceful international organization whose primary purpose is to improve and strengthen the brotherhood and solidarity among Member States. In addition, there are a number of other purposes, based protection of human rights, the development of democratic institutions and fundamental freedoms.
In addition, the OIC aims to become one of the most prominent global actors in the Islamic world, and aspires to the role of the Islamic Council.
Why OIC is global?
Islamic Conference - a global actor. Is such, and in the international arena is only in this form. Despite the fact that the organization is not very old, it (the organization) is constantly doing, aims to make a positive change for the people.
For example, each year the conference hosts international forums, as well as large conference of heads of government, heads of ministries and various government departments.
I want to talk about an effective program to promote the fundamental rights and freedoms, as well as to protect women. In my opinion this program is a must in today's globalized and rapidly changing world. Without realizing that all people are equal and that there should not be even the slightest of gender equality is no momentum to the development cannot get any modern state. Every year for the past 9 years, the OIC is holding a conference of Heads of Ministries of Foreign Affairs, as well as major forums. The result of this policy, we can see now in countries such as Afghanistan, Kuwait and Sudan appear not only schools but also with a split with a mixed type of training. Girls have an equal right to act in such schools, and also to study further build his life without feeling any inferiority. Although Islam clearly highlighted the concept of respect for the woman, in fact it is not always fulfilled.
First in the legislature in Afghanistan a woman came thanks to reforms that conduct the OIC.
Results of course, will not be so obvious at the moment. But certainly the level of pressure as well as the amount of work done can talk about one important fact, that today OIC every year becomes a stronger organization with influence not only in Asia, Africa and the Arab world. But also goes into the international arena, which clearly and calmly can pose problems and seek their solution in the international community.
As I mentioned, except assistance programs for women there are so many other areas of work. Globality of the organization is also supported by the fact that these mega giants of modern political arena, as NATO and the UN adopted the OIC equal partners, as well as lead and develop a constant interaction in the sphere of international security and the peaceful settlement of conflicts.
So say exactly about globality. I need to understand exactly what people tend to follow the rules of the organization, try to keep it, and they aim to combine goals with those of the OIC. Sometimes, these goals are the same.
What we have right now? Interaction with the OIC UN, OSCE, NATO, WTO, IMF and other nonprofit organizations. Such as Greenpeace, Organization of the Red Cross and so on. Today, an increasing number of countries are seeking to get into the structure of the OIC, and become a full member. Implementation of all decisions of the organization is not required, but is a direct reference for all participants.

Implementation of all decisions of the organization is not required, but is a direct reference for all participants.
India is still not accepted in the OIC, and this is due primarily to the conflict in Pakistan.
Back to the question of what business your desire to improve people's lives, sometimes at odds with the official opinion and opinion governments of participants.
But that hardly anyone pays attention, as all decisions are taken by majority vote. So this time in 2012 adopted a new program to improve the lives of women in the participating countries, despite the fact that Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq were against this decision. The fact that decisions on increasingly enforced and controlled by specific regulatory instruments. The strongest of which, of course, is the economic regulator in the face of the Islamic Development Bank. There are other institutions and organizations that report directly to the OIC and its subsidiaries are.
My conclusion is that, with each new OIC member becomes gradually regional and global actor. A ¼ of the population that is in the structure of the organization proves this fact. (If you enter India, then% of the world population will be over 30%).
Type of influence
In our time, the OIC is the most influential organization in the Islamic world.
But it is very interesting to understand what type of power actually helps the structure to be in the global arena? Definitely, it is a political power, the power of religion and culture, as well as the power of money. I cannot clearly identify a specific view, because without each of these factors OIC could be just a small regional organization. But on the whole complex of all these types of influence do the OIC strong leader in its political sphere.
OIC can using influence and moral force to break the spirit of the government or the rebellious party in any state can do directly lobbying their interests through a variety of instruments. Sending a delegation of politicians, or peacekeepers in a particular region to perform various tasks (such as religious, cultural, military, and even hunger). OIC can optionally affect various levels of government, as well as decision-making processes.
Reputation
To date have not had any problems with rough reputation of the organization.
On the contrary it is often possible to see the impartiality of participants in this international framework, even in relation to their state. An interesting fact is that sometimes still occur in some regional issues or religious issues (between Shiites and Sunnis in this organization is most often criticized problem).
For Israel, the OIC is not friendly organization, so very often in the Israeli media; you may encounter a negative opinion about the Conference. But, in my opinion it is impossible without the development of any serious acute contradictions. Therefore, the criticism of Israel, as well as countries that call the OIC organization spread of radical Islam have a place to be, and cannot be refuted immediately. It will take time.
The main question I think power lies on the surface, if in fact the situation was so bad I do not think that the international organizations and the international community would take the OIC in their circles. And an organization like the League of Arab States has a direct and constant interaction Advisory Council of the OIC.
So the question of reputation most crisp and clear in my essay.
Development assistance (Sponsorship)
OIC holds an annual allocation of budget funds by fees from the participating countries. Later, all the money and resources are allocated to funds and institutions.
Very often financial aid goes directly to needy countries, without delay, as well as on the basis of no interest loans and grants.
Those countries who are not able to repay the debt, the money just issued free of charge.
Also held various financial assistance programs for the development of culture and education among the participating countries. Sports tickets and on the development of children's sports, are also allocated considerable funds.
Money, media influence, food aid, medical aid, to restore peace - this is not a complete list of destinations that carries the OIC.
Sponsorship, based on a secret basis is also essential funds transferred to the needy.
Why OIC is an actor?
The OIC is the largest international organization uniting Islamic countries (57 countries). Even larger than the Arab League, which was once very strong in the Arab world.
OIC seeks to foster peace, to improve mutual understanding between different cultures. One of the main activities is to work with government agencies that have all the possibilities to change the current policy .
This means that the OIC can directly influence the adoption of certain policy decisions in different parts of the world.
Campaign of OIC
OIC desire to become visible and influential actor in modern politics gives rise to new campaigns in which the OIC is required to participate.
OIC using its influence to promote its own point of view on international relations in the modern world. Where to imagine the modern world without adopting different cultures, religions and nations, is simply impossible.
With the help of the dialogue of cultures OIC aims to show that in today's world, there can be no place for spreading hatred and aggression to any people.
One form of dialogue is direct support for sporting and cultural events held under the auspices of the Olympic Council of Asia became 7th Asian Games held in Astana. I'm sure help in organizing this event entirely on the positive side shows the work of the OIC, and the direction of development of the structure.
The main goals.
Sponsorship of the Asian Games in Kazakhstan. According to official sources, the OIC has committed more than $ 200 million. That by today's standards is not such a small sum for Kazakhstan. The main objectives of political propaganda, political public relations, as well as showing their influence. Distinctly clear that the OIC has made his. Because, during the opening ceremony has been repeatedly pointed out that Kazakhstan was awarded this honor (the Asian Games) using exactly the OIC and the Arab League.
United will
In this context, there was one of the greatest desires of the OIC - namely, the fact that in any state can coexist several completely different cultures and religions. This distinction does not affect the peaceful development of the country and society. Helping Kazakhstan OIC tried to show that the peaceful coexistence of different cultures is possible and quite acceptable for the current political existence.
Resources
Despite the fact that the material resources of the organization are strictly limited, were still found funds to assist with the Asian Games. Why was this done? The question is very simple, I wrote the above answer, because this event is fully consistent with the basic concept of the development of the OIC and its main objectives.
Results
Obvious OIC have very clear influence on the global sports event.
Organization of Islamic Conference once again proved that it is a real supporter of peaceful development, adhere to cultural dialogue and showed other Central Asian countries, its influence. In Kazakhstan, during the games, every second newspaper wrote that the best friend of the OIC countries and by international media constantly unobtrusively showed emblem OIC.
Conclusion
I believe the OIC very effective organization with a clear structure, a subordinate one center. Of course, there are problems in the structure of the process of making and implementing decisions, but its place among the global mastodons world politics uniquely she received. After spending such a fine campaign in support of sports in Central Asia , the OIC received a lot of attention from the media , the heads of governments from around the world , as well as ordinary people. Surely the funds allocated for the campaign paid off today with a vengeance. You cannot blame the international organization in that it seeks to become a leader in the political arena.
Everyone is trying to win a place in the sun all the means available to it, Organization of Islamic Conference - is no exception.
