ABSTRACT

The states of the world have created inter national organ iza tion as a means of dealing with common problems through negotiation. Global govern ance would be the result of this process as it develops into a regular method of reaching consensus. Critical theory is concerned with understanding and influencing how this process works. When we speak of “process,” we are thinking about something which evolves over time. So, critical theory is a way of thinking about development and change over time.
