Among the central concerns of international politics are questions of war and peace.Throughout the course of world history, people aspired for global peace, security, socio-cultural relationship, and global federations. But the cause of global peace and security did not receive a significant boost until the Congress of Vienna consciously attempted, for the first time in modern diplomatic history, to substitute an idea of the collective peace and security of Europe in place of old competitive security that had survived in the Balance of Power system. Against this background, this study aims to analyze how the quest for global peace and security led to the rise of international organizations over the years.
