From Paul Raskin <[email protected]>
------------------------------------------------------- Dear GTN, The world confronts grievous global-scale risks with feeble global-scale institutions, or, as I’m fond of putting it, Earthland resembles a failed state (www.greattransition.org/publication/journey-to-earthland). This dangerous incongruity demands reconsideration of the fraught project of global government, a task Luis Cabrera takes on in his new GTI essay, “Global Government Revisited: From Utopian Vision to Political Imperative.” Surely any rigorous Great Transition vision must address the need for supranational decision-making, but what are the contours of new institutions appropriate for the task? What intermediate steps can move us down that road? Read Luis’s answers at www.greattransition.org/ publication/global-government-revisited. Please share your reactions and comments by SEPTEMBER 30. Looking forward, Paul Raskin GTI Director HOW WE WORK GT Network discussions of new essays occur in odd-numbered months. You receive comments via email, and can review all postings at www.greattransition.org/forum/gti-forum. Then, in the following even-numbered month, we publish the essay along with a “Roundtable” (edited commentary drawn from the discussion and the author’s response). ------------------------------------------------------- Hit reply to post a message Or see thread and reply online at http://www.greattransition.org/forum/gti-discussions/192- global-government-revisited/2428 Need help?
