Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Global Democracy by Torbjrn Tnnsj Presents the arguments for the establishment of a world government to answer pressing global issues such as war, global injustices and environmental problems. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Is world government the answer to pressing global issues such as war, global injustices and environmental problems? Torbjrn Tnnsj presents the case for this idea.The notion of a sovereign world government has been defended in the past by philosophers such as Bertrand Russell and A.C. Ewing, but has been eclipsed by less radical ideas to do with peaceful cooperation between sovereign states or, at most, through systems of shared sovereignty. Tnnsj argues that such solutions cannot be effective; moreover he argues, in response to philosophers such as Kant and Rawls, that not only is a world government necessary if we want to solve pressing global problems, it is desirable in its own right.Short, simple to read, and focusing on the key arguments, Global Democracy is intended for anyone who wants to start to think about political solutions to global problems, putting them into a perspective that deserves to be taken seriously.The authors royalties on sales of this book are being donated to Oxfam.
