Which concept involves giving authority to a supranational body?

• A. Self Determination
• B. Peacekeepers
• C. Supranationalism
• D. GNI

Answer: (C)

Giving authority to a supranational body means countries pool some sovereignty and accept decisions made by a higher organization that applies to all members. This is supranationalism, where a body above national governments can enact and enforce rules that member states must follow. The European Union is a clear example, with institutions that create laws and can resolve disputes, sometimes with binding effects on member states. The other terms don’t describe this transfer of authority: self-determination is about a people choosing their own political status, peacekeepers are for maintaining peace, and GNI is an economic measure of income.
