DuFord Dissertation Abstract: Globalization has given rise to an interest in the development and normative assessment of international, or global, political institutions. Often, this literature focuses on three particular debates: 1) the site and scope of global justice as it relates to international institutional design, 2) whether and how we should democratize already existing global governance institutions, and 3) the confluence of criticism and support for the development of a global state. Discussions of the development of a global state are often situated in the first two kinds of debates, concerning either global justice or global democracy. However, the debate concerning a global state is situated firmly in the assumption that the world will perhaps always be organized by principles of Westphalian sovereignty. This project develops and defends a theory of global government that subverts the paradigm of preserving external sovereignty in order to focus on assessing and developing centralized global institutions liable to claims concerning legitimacy. This provides a theory of global government as capable of protecting human rights, providing a source of legitimacy for international law, and facilitating popular sovereignty via global democratic mechanisms. I first argue that government is an independent political entity from statehood—developing the possibility of a global government without a global state. Then I argue that the no-exit critique of a global government relies on a false asymmetry between a multi-territory and a single-territory world. Further, I claim that with the development of a global constitution and centralized structures for building democratic solidarity, a global government can meet the challenges to global democratic posed by both capitalist economic power and distance. The overall argument of the dissertation defends the availability, and desirability, of global government as an option for the organization of global political institutions, the protection of human rights, the legitimation of international law, and the implementation of global democracy.
