I know from a subjective point of view that many fellow human beings resent the term "world government". On the other hand, democracy as an ideal grasps well for most people, even though we have our dichotomies when we talk of it as an actuality.
I find it better to coin the term "international democracy". Already, this imposes many obstacles that are difficult to solve in our contemporary society. One example for instance , should the government be federal, uniteral, or a confederate? Would small countries and large countries be political equal in an international government. It's not hard to under stand the cost of operating a wolrdwide bureaucracy would be heavy. To support this magnitude of bureacracy, our economic theories must be conditioned. We cannot achieve a high level of effectiveness without making our transportation, information flow and other technologies quicker. I truely believe new invention of technology will be the birth of an international democracy.
And is this even possible to achieve without having a common enemy? What kind of measures can we take to attain a world democracy? What kind of cultural, economic, political and other societal challenges would we face?
