As the world becomes more integrated, the recognition that globalization constitutes a force with growing influence over a host of transnational problems has gained increasing traction.  In response to these problems, many theorists have posited an emergent new world order as the construct most descriptive of how the world currently confronts all global problems or as prescriptive on how the world should confront these problems in the future.  These theories often expressly or implicitly suggest that all the global problems can be solved through a single new framework or reconfiguration of existing frameworks.
    While the search for a unified solution can play an integral role in policy development, this Note rejects the view that any single panacea will bring relief to the myriad afflictions influenced by globalization.  Rather, each problem requires a solution tailored to its own unique characteristics, such that a proposed solution for human rights abuses by private actors may prove poorly suited to confront human rights abuses committed by state actors.
