Read the passage. International and supranational organizations often pursue both political order and economic stability, but they face legitimacy and capacity problems. The European Union (EU) has used integration to expand trade and mobility, yet critics argue decision-making can feel distant, and Eurozone constraints may limit fiscal flexibility during recessions. The United Nations (UN) coordinates humanitarian relief and peacekeeping, but Security Council vetoes can stall responses to crises, and heavy reliance on a small set of major donors can create budget uncertainty. The World Trade Organization (WTO) reduces trade barriers and offers dispute settlement to deter retaliation, but its weakened appellate process has encouraged more unilateral measures and prolonged disputes. The African Union (AU) promotes norms against unconstitutional changes of government and supports the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), while struggling with uneven implementation, infrastructure gaps, and external funding dependence. For non-member states, these bodies can still shape choices through sanctions, market access, and regulatory spillover, though such influence is often criticized as unequal. Across cases, a consistent criticism is the gap between ambitious mandates and the resources or compliance needed to achieve them. Which of the following best describes a shared criticism of these organizations in the passage?
