Even if we may be able to both separate political from nonpolitical issues and give priority to the latter, this does not mean, however, that we can solve political problems in this way- that we can achieve world order through a functional cooperation among states. This is, in fact, where scholars criticize functionalists’ means to sustain and promote world order. Functionalists have advocated that the functional approach is pragmatic; however, one may argue that by believing in a single formula, that cooperation in economic and social issues will lead to world peace, functionalists have not adopted the pluralistic, eclectic approach of pragmatism to solving problems at any level of social life.
