Abstract
Nowadays, world governance is an ambiguous concept in international politics and has been also analyzed from the framework of a western rationality regardless of the undeveloped world. To settle these two issues, this paper uses a 5-axis pattern creating a dialogue between traditional and radical theories over the concept of world governance. Based on the axes, it attempts to provide a theory which both disambiguates the world governance concept and incorporates the undeveloped world as an active player into the stage. The theory transforms the world governance to a dominant status and system of the modern world and a comprehensive theory.
