INTRODUCTION

According to Duncan Kennedy there are three conceptual periods of institutional and legal theory development: classical legal thought, the social, and the current globalization that he described as an unsynthesized coexistence of transformed elements from both first and second thought.

These two factors have resulted in the transformation of modes of governance from informal, opaque, and cooperative to be formal, transparent, and adversarial ones. According to Kagan, this outcome typically reflected the adversarial legalism that consists of three essential elements, namely policy making, policy implementation, and dispute resolution.
