Document Summary
Institutionalism: institutionalism is the form of governance involving the influence of igos such as the un and the imf along with the help of technocratic expertise. It is significant in that it focuses on simple problem solving based on specific prescriptions, in this case the washington consensus over concern for the impact of the past or the future on current-day problems. Every problem is seen as a sort of glitch in the system that could be solved through immediate action and cooperation. Transnationalism: the influencing of non-state actors on igos such as ngos and grassroots activism. An example of this is the world economic fourm, which fosters public-private cooperation and engages political leaders and head of civil societies to debate the position of global governance. What is significant is that instead of proposing a full revolution, transnationalists seek reform within the capitalist system to achieve their goals. Hegemonism: a marxist-esque critique of global governance as a tool for capitalism.
