Message
1.	governance without government How can we build and keep an order at the international society without the world government? I examine this difficult proposition through analyzing concrete cases with the use of international political theories. To be specific, I take up cases focusing on arms control issue, foundation of International Criminal Court, medication patent issues which non state actor played an important role in the formation of order and its conservation.
