“…The transformation of an individual into an economic agent reflects a historical stage in the contemporary global economy. According to Robert Went's survey, production has been combined with the internationalization of trade and finance for the first time in history since the early 1980s (341). This “unprecedented internationalization” (Went 341) engenders overseas supervisors such as the Delisle character and his anonymous predecessor in Shenzhen and Sandrine and Richard in Pyongyang , who are deployed abroad for efficient production that takes advantage of cheap labor and expenditure on foreign soil.…”

“…For them, the combined spread of trade and economic progress along with the consensual strengthening of existing international organizations ultimately will result in a world state. David Held (2004) is the best example of a Westphalian optimist, whose vision is more humanistic and less militaristic than those of other observers (see also Rodrik 2000; Went 2002).…”

What Happened to the Idea of World Government

What happened to the idea of world government, so central in the United States to public debate of the 1930s and 1940s, and why has it been replaced by “global governance”? This article reviews the reasons behind that evolution—the need to incorporate interdependence and nonstate actors into analytical frameworks along with a lack of imagination from analysts—as well as the pluses and minuses of both concepts. When states still could solve or attenuate most problems, world government remained a possible objective and not far from the mainstream. Paradoxically, now that states visibly cannot address a growing number of transboundary threats, world government is unimaginable; and even more robust international organizations are often looked upon askance. Could the same far‐sighted American political commitment that created a new generation of international organizations after World War II re‐emerge under the Obama administration, if not in 2009, then at least by the end of a second term?

“…This industrialisation brings with it the growth of the middle class, which is one of the main carriers of democracy, thereby promoting the development of more democratic states (Schwartzman, 1998). Similarly, globalisation can strengthen international organisations and regulation in order to facilitate the internationalisation of trade, finance and production (Colas, 2003;and Went, 2004). On the other hand, such institutions can be inherently unaccountable, opaque and unrepresentative (Colas, 2003); and attempts to globalise social rights, the provision of public goods and the environment are more difficult (Went, 2004).…”

Increasing flows of goods, capital and labour across various national borders have signalled the ever-increasing integration or 'globalisation' of international markets. The impacts of globalisation are complex and multidimensional and have been intensely debated in the academic literature. Likewise, globalisation and its impacts have also gained attention in the mass media. Yet findings on the way globalisation has been portrayed in the mass media are mixed. In this paper, we examine the conceptual evolution and overall progression of tone of globalisation coverage in the Associated Press from 1984 to 2004. We find that AP reporters have weaved a number of key themes in their stories: growth and efficiency, poverty, employment, environment and migration among others. More-over, we find 'balance' in reporting to the extent that both sides of an argument are presented in an article. However, in absolute terms reporting is skewed in favour or against a specific issue depending on story narrative employed. Our empirical results go some way to reconciling why news organisations feel they present balanced and objective coverage while proponents and opponents on a specific issue feel that coverage is biased one way or the other.
