Book Description
The notion of a single political organization encompassing the whole of humanity—a world state—has intrigued mankind since earliest recorded history. This book provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of the history of world government, and questions whether political globalization, in the form of a federal world government, could and should complement the ongoing processes of economic and cultural globalization. While the potential peacekeeping advantage of such a state is obvious, the consensus judgment has always been against it, because it could lead to totalitarian tyranny. Yunker examines whether this judgment is still correct, considering that nuclear weapons of unimaginable destructiveness now exist, capable of destroying human civilization as we know it. Summarizing the lessons of history, the author suggests that while the conventional world federalist concept of an unlimited world government is still impractical in today’s world, there may be a role for a limited federal world government that would go well beyond the existing United Nations, thereby providing a stronger institutional basis for the evolutionary development of genuinely effective global governance. This book is an important resource for all students and scholars of global governance, international relations and international organizations.

The Final World Government
Author: Bassey Effiong Orok
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1504972929
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 661
Book Description
This book is the last title of the seven holy book series written simultaneously in thirty-four months by a born prophet, seasoned and reputable spiritual scientist and consultant on issues related to nature and the universe at large, His Lordship Bishop Bassey Effiong Orok. After his consecration as bishop on Sunday, April 12, 2009, he was taken away by the Holy Spirit, passing through several borders and nations. And on the twelfth month after he was consecrated a bishop, he was given authority to settle down, being hidden from public sight, and the Holy Spirit led him to write the seven holy books series, namely, Holy Book of Revelations; Everlasting Arts and Sciences volumes 1 and 2; and Eternal Mysteries of Nations volumes 1, 2, and 3, including this very title. However, The Final World Government contains unimaginable and extraordinary knowledge. It is beyond human description and interpretation as it unveils the coming new world administration where only one governing system, one currency, one understanding, one belief and one language will be enforced globally, thereby bringing to an end all existing governments, organizations, groups, religions, tradition, beliefs, customs, and kingdoms irrespective of nation, language, continent, or colour. It announces the coming unavoidable global change (far from the present) as it unveils a world void of all political, civil, economic, food crises, agony, anger, catastrophe, blame, earthquakes, war, pain, enmity, insecurity, insurgency, terrorism, wickedness, danger, evil, sorrow, sickness and death. It gives in-depth and first-time knowledge on the natural origin of the different governments currently operating globally and moving ahead in unveiling the system of their final departure from the surface of the earth. It also unveils unprecedented mysteries concerning all continents, governments, organizations, religions, tribes, tongues, colours and every human race, even as it reveals how the entire earth and the heavens will be shaken thus causing man and other creations to run for their safety.

Providing a valuable resource for secondary school and college students as well as the general public investigating the process of governance in different countries, this book provides a comprehensive comparative summary of how governments are constituted and operated worldwide.

Additionally, the content includes constitutional excerpts that clarify how human rights are conceptualized and articulated throughout the world.

A Hinge of History
Author: George P. Shultz
Publisher: Hoover Press
ISBN: 0817924361
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
The world is at an inflection point. Advancing technologies are creating new opportunities and challenges. Great demographic changes are occurring rapidly, with significant consequences. Governance everywhere is in disarray. A new world is emerging. These are some of the key insights to emerge from a series of interdisciplinary roundtables and global expert contributions hosted by the Hoover Institution. In these pages, George P. Shultz and James Timbie examine a range of issues shaping our present and future, region by region. Concrete proposals address migration, reversing the decline of K–12 education, updating the social safety net, maintaining economic productivity, protecting our democratic processes, improving national security, and more. Meeting these transformational challenges will require international cooperation, constructive engagement, and strong governance. The United States is well positioned to ride this wave of change—and lead other nations in doing the same.

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
Recent years have seen a remarkable resurgence in rigorous thought on global government by leading thinkers in international relations, economics, and political theory.

It pulls together some of the leading current thinkers on global government into a conversation about provocative global institutional visions.
