- “In a well ordered world, there would be no limits, physical, cultural, or political, to such a system of co-operation… Once technics releases itself from the costly wholesale preparations for genocide…
- There is no doubt that globalization has sharpened the basic conflicts between the old and the new, secularism and religion, the West and the East, the haves and the have-nots. (pp. 9) One potentially critical problem already being faced by some mega-cities is food supply. (pp.11) Overall, the world population must be able to stabilize at a certain level such that sustainable development can be achieved. (pp. 12)
- Davos World: China & India reshaping globalization through robust economic growth. Pax Americana: U.S. predominance survives the radical changes to the global political landscape. A New Caliphate: radical religious identity politics constituting a challenge to Western norms & values Cycle of Fear: large-scale intrusive security measures are taken to prevent outbreaks of deadly attacks.
- Market World: A new golden age of prosperity. “The spread of capitalism furthers the spread of freedom and democracy.” Fortress World: Instability and violence? Transformed World: Changing the human endeavor?
