The nation state is the USA, or Egypt, or Australia or any other independent country you can name. Each nation state has it's own government. Some are democratic others are not. Each nation state sets it's own policies and makes it's own laws. Each nation state has it's own economy and most have their own monetary systems.
So the end of the nation state basically means a world government (or corporation, as I have heard it called) that controls all finances, all trade, all law making and all of our lives. So who would run a world government? Well, they wouldn't be elected I suspect as that would require everyone in the world to vote and China or India would win every time, just by having the largest populations. So the western based banks and corporations would not like that much. Neither would western governments and royalty. I think you will find if you research New World Order that this concept is being driven by the west.
Let's face it, the United Nations is a failure in terms of bringing stability to the world and the International Monetary Fund is responsible for more poverty in the world than any other single factor. (they lend money to governments and tell them how to run their economies) The other global organisations such as the World Health Authority, which seems incapable of actually improving the health of people in the world (look at the situation in Haiti) and the World Trade Organisation, which is incapable of improving the price that coffee growers receive for their product, all seem to fall short as far as running the world goes.
The other thing is, all of these international experts were unable (or unwilling) to predict the Global Financial Crisis and yet they were the ones with all of the information available. So what happened there? Are these the models for a global government?
Wildor, I don't know the solutions to the problems that we are facing now but I know I don't like the way a world government looks a lot like the ruling elite in George Orwell's book 1984. Besides, who can I call to get this pothole fixed in my street? Do I have to call Brussels or Beijing?
