Dear GTN,<br>
<br>
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 (<a href="http://www.greattransition.org/publication/journey-to-earthland" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.greattransition.org/<wbr>publication/journey-to-<wbr>earthland</a>). 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.”<br>
<br>
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 <a href="http://www.greattransition.org/publication/global-government-revisited" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.greattransition.org/<wbr>publication/global-government-<wbr>revisited</a>.<br>
<br>
Please share your reactions and comments by SEPTEMBER 30.<br>
<br>
Looking forward,<br>
Paul Raskin<br>
GTI Director<br>

HOW WE WORK<br>
GT Network discussions of new essays occur in odd-numbered months. You receive comments via email, and can review all postings at <a href="http://www.greattransition.org/forum/gti-forum" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.greattransition.org/forum/<wbr>gti-forum</a>. 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).<br>
