functionalism

 
     
  The belief that international conflict can be eliminated by the development of institutionalized international cooperation in the economic and social spheres. The idea is that such cooperation will ‘spill over’ into areas of greater ‘political’ significance, though there is not much evidence in its support. It is a theory which was advanced and strongly advocated by David Mitrany (1888-1975).
