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

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.
