Law of Global Governance: A Critical Knowledge Survey
Keywords:
Law of Global Governance, Third World Countries, Rights to DevelopmentAbstract
The study of governance plays a significant role as a mechanism for the progressive development of international legal studies and development due to the conceptualization and influence of various programs on the right to development, including development of human, economic, and natural resources and the environment. Moreover, the governance truly related to the process of democratization and widely accepted in the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights as well as the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
This study examines the critical perspectives of global governance on the Third World Approaches in International Law (TWAIL). It aims at finding the establishment of explicit knowledge of the global governance. According to TWAIL, there are some limitations of the law of global governance in both theory and practice, particularly the implementation of international organizations and institutions. This study, therefore, suggests the possible perspective and solution to increasing public participation in international institutions through the Third World approaches to improve the law of global governance and create better social and economic culture both equally and globally.
