Synopsis
Creating a vetoless global government requires that all nations cede unprecedented sovereignty - an infeasible goal for the near future. However, global governance is still possible. Existing patterns of governance are capable of articulating and embodying humanity’s willingness to cooperate. Evolving effective global governance will require widespread support, steadfast determination, and a lot of time - but it is very possible.
