This article is intended to share a few thoughts, notions and questions about regulatory and governmental structures, both national and international, with regard to the development of global justice. It will highlight the issue whether or not local wisdom can contribute to global justice. In addition, this writing will discover legal problems that arise from the idea of global society and global justice by analyzing jurisdictional aspects and by explaining a little bit about dematerialization of crime, as it has been affected by the changing of communities behavior in global contexts after the era of computer and information and communication technology (ICT). Progressive development in Europe, especially regarding the European Union Law, will also be explored in order to describe the respect for fundamental rights in this region. Keywords: Global Justice, International Society, Development, Local Wisdom.

This book explores the emergence, change, and consolidation of institutional restraints on power. It argues that combining the traditional focus on efforts to acquire power with the "Lockean" focus on restraining power offers a more complete depiction of international politics, and shifts focus away from the actions of a handful of powerful states.

Jurgen Habermas's theory of communicative action has provided the inspiration for a school of Critical International Relations Theory which looks to communication as a source of praxis, and therefore a means of emancipation. This article argues that Critical International Relations Theorists have been too ready to accept Habermas's claims about the emancipatory power of communication. In particular, it is not clear that a Habermasian Critical International Relations Theory can address the concerns of more sophisticated materialists -- not least those of Habermas's predecessors in the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory. One of the most original of these predecessors, Theodor Adorno, argued that the pursuit of communication between subjects would result in the betrayal of Critical Theory to the requirements of instrumental reason. The article suggests that similar concerns are apparent in International Relations: in Marxian criticisms of the turn to communication; in accusations of 'anthropocentrism' aimed at post-positivists by Critical Realists; and in Andrew Linklater's emphasis on the common human capacity to experience and recognize bodily suffering. Adorno's Critical Theory points to the need for a reorientation of Critical International Relations Theory towards an account of praxis which draws upon the experiences and needs of corporeal, vulnerable human beings who are part of a material world. In this way, critical International Relations theorists can carry forward the critique of global socio-political forces which the majority of the world's inhabitants experience as an arbitrary constraint.
