Summary:

Cabrera (political theory, U. of Birmingham, UK) presents 12 chapters exploring and critiquing visions of global government and global governance. Contributors approach the question from a variety of viewpoints, with some seeing advocacy of world government as leading to dystopia and un-democratic forms of domination, while others argue that it should be possible to move towards just global governance by promoting democratic accountability within existing global institutions, and still others argue that a cosmopolitan moral orientation that views all individuals as deserving of equal support is bound to support the creation of a cohesive global government.
