思考二十一世纪初期人类的未来和政治联合的基础并不能让人乐观。特别是，9/11已经成为一个与《重返帝国》、地缘政治、政治暴力和主权至上联系在一起的时刻。然而，人们很容易夸大9/11的意义，并从一组历史经验中夸大。本文探讨了如何在二十世纪制定了关键的政治和法律的“世界主义的步骤”走向全球秩序的转变。这些步骤进行了探讨和辩护，并显示他们如何创造了一个非常不同的反应，布什总统和布莱尔首相说服9/11的基础。虽然这个机会显然暂时失去了，但布莱尔-布什反恐战争的失败再次证明了进一步发展世界主义全球秩序的强有力的理由。
Thinking about the future of humankind and the basis of political association in the early years of the twenty-first century does not give grounds for optimism. In particular, 9/11 has become a moment associated with a return to empire, geopolitics, political violence and the primacy of sovereignty. Yet, it is easy to overstate the meaning of 9/11 and exaggerate from one set of historical experiences. This article explores the ways in which the twentieth century set down key political and legal ‘cosmopolitian steps’ toward a transformation of the global order. These steps are explored and defended, and it is shown how they created the grounds for a very different response to 9/11 to the one persued by President Bush and Prime Minister Blair. Although clearly this opportunity has been temporarily lost, the failure of the Blair–Bush War on Terror reaffirms strong reasons for further developing a cosmopolitian global order.
