Preferred term

world government  

Definition

  • The creation of a strongly empowered world government has been advocated by some as the necessary defense against some external threats faced by states—just as the domestic state has been seen as the necessary means of protecting individuals from the threats inherent in a state of nature. Others have looked to a world government as a means of ensuring that all persons' rights are secured and that all have access to sufficient resources and opportunities.
