"...what [global] governance looks like in reality – it’s a matryoshka doll.

The missing level of analysis in global governance is regionalism. The better part of global governance today is regional governance: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, they all govern themselves. You have a thin veneer of global governance on top of that, sure, but it doesn’t dictate to the regions. The regions dictate to it." https://farsight.cifs.dk/rules-of-disorder/
