The existence of private organizations such as Blackwater, Red Cross and Standard & Poor's has been criticized by various authors for taking away the central role of the state in the global decision making process. Their solution has been global governance, where transnational and international government driven organizations, such as the European Union or United Nations take the lead. It is argued that the Norwegian debate around this issue is, unfortunately, ill-equipped for tomorrow's challenges. L. Pitkaniemi

This article discusses some key areas for international child policy. Which reason dilemma exists in the situation of children? To what extent can they live and how these basic dilemmas are affected by politics? I present two opposites in the vision on childhood, a utilitarian vision that looks at childhood as a preparation on a growing up: 'Mr. Grad Grind', taken from a character in a novel by Dickens, and a romantic vision that emphasizes on childhood as a value itself, 'Emile' taken from a debate book of Rousseau. Different varieties of child policies are then placed in tension between these poles through the rest of the article. Adapted from the source document.
