I certainly hope we don't, but history suggests those are the only times these things happen.</p><p>The problem with that is, today, we are facing important issues which demand international institutional responses (AIDs, terror networks, global warming, nuclear nonproliferation). In other words, if WWIII caused new institution to rise up, would they be aiming at those persistent problems or would they be fixing WWIII's?</p>KevinTue, 15 Jul 2008 02:07:13 -0000http://blurringborders.com/2008/07/11/international-institutions/#comment-3052600<p>The international institutions are still working on post-WWII power positions, which may be for better or for worse. To shake the global system up, do we need a catastrophic war to reposition the players? I doubt that any substantial changes will be made without such events.</p>thecounterculturalistTue, 15 Jul 2008 01:37:11 -0000http://blurringborders.com/2008/07/11/international-institutions/#comment-3052601<p>Interesting post. Rethinking can happen even deeper.</p>sikantisSat, 12 Jul 2008 21:54:58 -0000
