WP and nation-state

Dear wsners: I don't think a world-state should be a goal of a wp. For one, 
it
isn't going to happen. Second, there are far too many dangers with that 
kind of
concentration of power. The things that need to be done can be done better 
and
more safely by getting the global nation-state system to agree to (a) 
certain
restrictions on corporate and national behavior as well as (b) cooperative
arrangements between groups of people across corporate and national 
boundaries.
The key problem is how to get a and b to be binding on corporate and 
national
entities. My guess is that the binding will never be uncontested, but maybe 
we
can get the binding to be a bit stronger than U.N. pronouncements. Randy
