"Making it fun (and even exciting), Robert Graber pursues here a very serious issue--the coming of a world state--and gives opposing sides of this debate fair and frequent airings. With his accustomed mathematical skill and ingenuity, he makes a case for the future unification of the world without the necessity of global war. Even the skeptics--and I'm one--hope he's right."

Klappentext
Can we predict the world's political future? The surprising wealth of research critiqued in this book suggests that earlier assessments of world trends pointed too pessimistically toward the likelihood of a future repressive world-state. Offering an impressive analysis of long-term historical patterns, population, and social changes, Graber presents a fresh look at current trends. His long-term evidence shows why the League of Nations and the United Nations are to be taken seriously as new postconquest models of political evolution. The tables, data, review, and critique of previous historical research make this an essential guide to scholarly understanding of our political future.
