The theory of development would have almost seemed to have lost its identity due to globalization. Several scholars from public administration and economics have stated that from now on the world is ONE and that the separation between the developed world and the developing countries lacks theoretical foundation. All countries strive for economic growth and all nations search political stability in one way or another, but typically by means of legal-rational authority. However, the new focus of development theory in the 21st century must be decarbonisation. Stephen Hawking warns about the irrevocability of global warming, which would hurt the developing countries terribly hard.
