It locates the origins of such a concept in the aftermath of the 1st European war (formally known as World War1). The critique then suggests how the institutions birth out of the Bretton Woods conference after World War II give philosophical shaped and guidance to global governance. The collapse of communism and subsequently the cold war necessitated the “Trojan horse”, that is to say the Supra international political economic institutions of Bretton Woods solidified and reinforced this concept. Reference is made to the challenges face by the architects of the global governance concept in the form of economic power houses China & India, and accommodations that will have to be considered.engCreative Commons Copyright (CC 2.5)Global GovernanceInternational Political Economic InstitutionsBretton WoodsEthics of Political EconomyGlobalisationTrojan HorseGood governanceconflict researchliberalismPoliticsPolitical ethicsEthics of political systemsGovernance and ethicsPreprint
