ABSTRACT
Twenty-two years after their seminal article, Toward Global Parliament, published in Foreign Affairs Magazine, Andrew Strauss and Richard Falk revisit the contemporary prospects for a Global Parliament. The authors make the case that despite the formidable global rise of ethno-nationalism, the initiation of a Global Parliament is still possible in today’s world. With an orientation of openness to novel possibilities that are not subject to predictive analysis, they base their hopeful assessment on an examination of the impact of the rise of China, the perceived urgency of securing national democracies, the resilience of globalisation and its accompanying governance imperatives, and changing global religious sensibilities.
