The globalization which took place in the last few decades has left the world wanting for global leadership and governance. The United Nations was established as a security organization and forum for sovereign states, not as a governing body for a global society. However, the nations of the world are being increasingly forced to share our world and several issues must be addressed. These include: representation of all people if government is to be legitimate, checks and balances on all forms of monopoly power-political, economic, and religious-and education which helps citizens discern true leaders from false ones. September 11, 2001, was a warning that these items must be addressed or global anarchy will lead to more inequity injustice and terrorism born out of ignorance or frustration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
