A World Government? (Sand)

There are now many features of a new world order: the circulationof concepts techniques rules; the development of global epistemic communities; an increasing mix of national and supranational institutions; the formation of more horizontal links among States which do not disappear but rather become accountable to one other; the generalization of common usages and rules. Overall this is conventionally called globalization.Globalization is the major development in the field of public law inthe second half of the twentieth century. It has evolved according to an incremental pattern. First it was applied to peace and human rights (the United Nations); then to areas such as the sea nuclear waste health labor the environment. Subsequently it was applied to trade and finally to global terrorism and global crises. The process of globalization has been piecemeal and globalization has developed through crises and unbalances by accretion and accumulation.
