FIFA and the evils of supra-national organisations FIFA is of phttp://livinginamadhouse.wordpress.com/2010/12/04/fifa-and-the-evils-of-supra-national-organisations/olitical interest because it vividly demonstrates what happens in supra- national organisations. These are invariably (1) undemocratic because they are convened by elites who make all the rules and decisions without democratic interference and (2) corrupt, the degree of corruption increasing with the width of the international spread. In FIFA’s case the international spread is as wide as can be, with 208 affiliated nations, marginally more than the UN which numbers 192. The corruption is consequently massive.

Agreed. In every supra-national organisation, it seems to be a condition of its existance that the employees or representatives are renumerated very well or have such expenses/perks that corruption and compliance is guaranteed.
