| Summary, etc. | The author discusses three key developments in global politics since the end of the Cold War that have bearing on world peace, and suggests three actions as humanity's necessary response. The first development: continuing process of globalization -- international trade, communications and culture, multinational corporations, migrations, environmental issues, and international crime. The second: the experience of maintaining peace in a new environment of reduced immediate risk of global holocaust, lower military expenditures, and fewer regional conflicts on one hand, and major weaknesses in peace-keeping procedures, and looming major risks. The third: the failure of world leaders to seize the opportunity of the 50th anniversary of the United Nations to implement effective strategies for maintenance of peace. The three responses proposed: to strengthen the institutional framework for peace by restructuring the UN as a federal world government; to urge the United States to provide positive leadership in achieving this goal; to underpin the enterprise with systematic education of humanity in the principle that "the earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens." |
