    There is no global government. The world is highly fragmented. Most countries themselves are highly fragmented. Even some countries that would have you believe otherwise.

    Also, we are too used to the concept of superpowers being countries. That’s no longer the case. While countries can still be superpowers, so can corporations. We already have corporations that could fund some of the world’s biggest armed forces, but so far they have had no reason to. This isn’t a new concept either, think back to the way the British Empire colonised/invaded India for example.

      I agree, i guess i meant to say the governments of the world when i said that, but you articulated important points- corporations are really becoming bigger than governments and thats not good for the future
