🌐 Toward a Borderless and Peaceful World EP15

Alireza Soroush Season 1 Episode 15

These sources collectively examine the future of global governance, contemplating the persistence of war and the viability of nation-states versus alternative political structures. One perspective argues against world government, citing risks of tyranny, suppression of diversity, and exacerbated democratic flaws, advocating for continued inter-state competition and "foot voting." Conversely, other sources explore the potential for a world without war, discussing theories like democratic peace, economic norms, and the Baháʼí Faith's vision for global unity through consultation and justice. The discussion also considers the decline of the nation-state model, proposing the resurgence of city-states or new forms of political organization like "synarchies" as responses to challenges like globalization and climate change, highlighting both the benefits and drawbacks of borderless nations and evolving forms of collective governance.
