Struggle and the Prospects for World Government (Global Thoughts Series)

Struggle and the Prospects for World Government rethinks the cold war and the social, political and economic development that followed the collapse of the Berlin wall. This essay cuts across all aspects of what is increasingly termed the "new world order". At the same time, The book establishes that free trade, nationalism, religious nationalism, and technology are emerging in combination as a post-cold war weapon system that can globally power the war between neoliberalism and neosocialism, individualism and collectivism, modernism and archaism, and universalism and particularism within a two-fold framework that includes, at one end of the spectrum, the institutionalization of transnational politics, and at the other end of the spectrum, the unionization of anti-corporate forces. These factors have combined to inexorably allow more prospects for World Government.
