About this book

The time is ripe for a new international organization, a Global Union based upon a limited sharing of sovereignty. This book examines the successes and failures of the European Union as a sovereignty-sharing organization, and suggests that this unique institution has a critical role to play in the development of a more effective world order.

'This is a lucid, well-written, and courageous book that not only illuminates the difficult process of trying to make nation states co-exist in peace but also offers some very practical suggestions towards achieving that goal.' - Professor Theo D'Haen, Faculty of Arts, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium
