Global Governance
|
Sustainability, in part, rests on political stability and acceptance of government authority. The nation-state acts as a defender of its citizens'; security, a container and nurturer for its citizens' economics and culture, and an internal legal and regulatory authority to preserve peace and justice. The nation-state authority has been challenged economically by globalization, security by terrorism and climate change and other cross-boundary environmental issues, and justice by special interests and electoral procedures. The nation-state has been challenged to preserve its natural capital and natural heritage for future generations by the sustainability movement.

Global Governance, a term that needs serious debate across our world. The opening up of communication on this topic alone is one of the keys toward its eventual operational conclusion. In the end though just what is this Global Governance, this apparatus going to look like, how is it going to work and to who or what say organizations ultimate benefit? If communication about this subject does not begin soon, I mean very soon across every aspect of human affairs and human disciplines as noted above than the inititive toward an effective equilibrated system of operations for our civilization may be lost for a long time to come. We our civilization our species can ill afford to keep our head in the sand and continue to think that this Global Governance which I like to call our worlds Planetary Development, however it may look like in the end, is a topic that will just go away if we just don't look at it long enough.
