Peter Russell's forthcoming book gives a history of sovereignty, but the panelists are thinking about what comes after it — how to transition from a world of sovereign nation states to a global federation -- or some other alternative means of governance. Fergus Watt promotes World Federalism; Robert Schaeffer is skeptical about the direction we're heading; and John Feffer is already collecting a transnational community of leaders. Metta doesn't choose among these approaches but supports them all.
